Sony Patents ‘Auto-Play’ Game Mode

  1. At this stage just watch a youtube/twitch playthrough.

    It’s ok to have a story mode with easy gameplay of course that’s a different thing

  2. Hinermad

    I can’t wait to see the chest thumping over who can make the best AI prompts to beat a game.

  3. RandomDanny

    you have to purchase the unlock to actually play the game

    Gacha game Devs: look what they had to do to mimic a percentage of our power

    >Sony’s new patent for an AI-powered system could revolutionize gaming by allowing players to skip repetitive or grindy gameplay sections.

    Revolutionary? Korean/Chinese games have had this for years lmao

    >Be console fanboy

    >Pay $1200 for a PS6 from a flipper because they only made 200 consoles for the US

    >5 total games to play

    >Pay $90 to play new God of War early (with day 1 DLC costumes)

    >IPad baby brain gets bored because I can’t watch Family Guy x Subway Surfers videos and play God of War at the same time without dying

    > I have to play the entire game??? Wtf?????

    >Pay $15 to have the game play itself

    😂

    So like Xenoblade Chronicles games but for the whole console?

  8. This could have potential to enhance Co-op and low player count MMO’s… assuming the Auto-Play can be more dynamic than your standard bot… but I’m not holding my breath for this to go anywhere beyond “skip gameplay”.

    Oh boy. Digital Extremes is going to be pissed.

    AI’s taking LetMeSoloHer’s job now?

    Half of Sony games are cutscenes or shuffling between two rocks, climbing over something and now they want to give you rhe ability to auto play? Lol

  12. I feel like Hideo Kojima’s games already have this feature built in, and you can’t turn it off most of the time 😀

    It wouldn’t surprise me if this was used in online games, especially MMOs. You can simulate the appearance of a highly engaged community with advanced AI bots, even if you don’t have a large player base

  14. do_not_the_cat

    so we really reached the point where AI can do our free time activities for us, huh?

  15. Zanoss10

    An auto play mode isn’t just like watching a video of the said game in the end anyway ?

    With how easy and accessible the most of the current big AAA games, this feature is useless lol

    Sony patents a lot of things and then they don’t use most of them, I guess that’s called R&D

  17. I think for a certain types of games that are XP or level-up intensive, such as old school RuneScape. Having an autoplay feature or auto click feature to grind out levels is not that bad. But for a story based games or multiplayer games or autoplay makes no sense

  18. --clapped--

    To be fair, how many things do these companies patent that just never makes it to the light of the day.

    I don’t know if we need news articles on their PATENTS.

  19. LifeVitamin

    Oh so they finally developed “game journalists” mode. Now these hack can get into anygame and drop dogshit reviews while claiming they played them lol.

  20. Hopefully devs will add this feature to MMORPGS in the future, could be fun to have NPCs controlled by AI

  21. Anaxamenes

    Loot boxes are suddenly less desirable in MMORPGs. Hahaha!

  22. readitonreddit86

    I read auto pay. Auto play is much better lol.

  23. Hazzyhazzy113

    What else am I supposed to do in world of Warcraft?

  24. DolphinsWithNerfGuns

    Games for gamers who don’t like gaming.

  25. urmil0071

    don’t tell me that they’re going to make games intentionally grindy and sell you the autoplay solution

  26. Jerma will be happy he’ll finally have his “food mode”

  27. No_Caregiver8718

    Honestly I don’t mind a bot on playstation that does the Mohgwyn Rune farm when I’m busy

  28. i’d like a button which allows me to spark up a blunt while following a nice story until I decide to hop back in or if stuff gets too grindy to let the console work that for me.

  29. I guess I’m the old man here, but I would not trust an AI to get my character progression down the way I like it.

    Y’all going crazy as if thousands upon thousands of people everyday don’t go on YouTube or twitch just to watch a game. Let someone buy a singe player game and watch it you weirdos. There aren’t fuckin movies of every game out are there? No. I’ll never use this but see absolutely no issue with it and find it cool.

  31. low-ki199999

    I would use auto-play for terribly long annoying intro/tutorials, esp in open world games

  32. AltCrab2

    How about instead of creating a whole new ai system to play the grindy sections for you, the game devs just make the game less grindy? If they’re worried about people not wanting to go through it, why include it in the first place?! Lunacy
