Nvidia Demos AI Tech to Enhance Gaming Through Dynamic NPCs and Upscaled Graphics
-
Nvidia demoed AI technologies like NPC dialogue generation and graphics upscaling that could change future gaming experiences. The demos were hands-on but not ready for implementation.
-
Talking to NPCs felt more dynamic as they responded organically, but took more improv effort from the player than clicking dialogue options.
-
AI could augment developers' toolsets rather than replace them, with writers still needing to craft backstories for generated NPC conversations.
-
Upscaling old games with Nvidia's RTX Remix tech used AI to intelligently add lighting and textures to vastly improve dated graphics.
-
Requirements for these demos were high-end Nvidia GPUs starting at $999, raising questions around access and implementation for most gamers and studios.
