An AI Coach for Bad Gamers?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the your-kung-fu-is-best dept.

newchurch writes "In this week's "Gaming in 2020" issue of The Escapist, Chris Dahlen writes about a no-talent gamer who gets help from the 'Nintendo Coach' - an AI installed in the console that watches him play and gives him pointers and feedback. This is set 14 years in the future, but how hard would it really be for a next-gen console to pull this off? Would gamers want this kind of thing, to make them more competitive or just to help them master a title like Ninja Gaiden? And would your average gamers even admit they need help?"

    "It looks like you're trying to capture the enemy's flag. Would you like me to help you ...

    * shoot the enemy

    * move toward the enemy's base

    * dodge the enemy's fire

    * write a letter to your enemy ... whoops, wrong application."
