Due to the common use of it in racing games since forever and the implementation of a similar mechanic in FromSoftware games being so well received. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ech@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago (1 child) Visual similarities ≠ identical mechanic. FS's is a way for human players to interact in each others games. And racing ghosts are just asynchronous multiplayer. This is literal hand-holding so the player doesn't have to bother actually playing the game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago Right. I'm going to have to suggest you re-read my comment and the context. What I was saying was that a ghost function that isn't AI-powered wouldn't be susceptible to legal action under this patent. I also have no doubt Sony will force this in anyway. All of the big companies have gone gaga for AI. I have absolutely no idea why other than very poorly made projections, but the reality is they insist on using the biggest crowbar they can find. permalink fedilink source parent
