its great that Nintendo is really trying to do this, because they have been one of the largest victims of this anti-innovation, perfect example being their relentless release of mario-themed games. (i know its practically their mascot, but maybe its time for a new one...)
if they hadnt changed their name, it would have just said "the article mentions Gator." but claria needs to have their position reiterated, eh? guess their renaming stragegy worked, since claria is not automatically associated with "bad", as gator was.;)
sorry for not being more clear, i was saying that in response to this:
I believe better graphic capabilities can lead to more interactive environments, which in turn can lead to more interesting ways of changing, or progressing the plot.
FarCry does have quite an interactive environment, and that is what i was talking about.
very true. a true example of this is how the gaming community rushes to see screenshots of the latest game and comments something along the lines of "that game looks awesome, ill buy it." screenshots are purely showing off the graphics of a game.
budgets are small, deadlines are tight. what is a game manufacturer to do? produce something that is appealing to their target group quickly. they appeal to that group by fueling some hype generated by a few screenshots. how many times have you heard a game company release a statement regarding an upcoming game telling about the storyline of a game? ok, now consider what a few screenshots does to the hype before a game release. just my $.02 worth;)
there is really no AI involved in the situation you explained, because you are telling the comp what to do...the AI he is referring to would be the enemy civ that you are playing against in your scenario.
when you are the brain behind the game, there is no AI there...the enemy is what needs an AI to function, because it doesnt have a human brain behind it telling it what to do.

example: Far Cry.
WinPatrol does this as well, along with protecting/watching many other aspects of the system for potentially unwanted changes.
Realistically, how are they going to go after thousands of people?
