AI Overhaul

I know everyone is sick and tired of the same crappy AI every year, myself included. I think THQ's next iteration should be akin to their effort in WWE12. The majority of WWE12's development was dedicated to revamping the games engine with "Predator Technology". I think instead of having another theme such as Golden Era, etc, they should spend the majority of development on AI improvement.

 

The AI is down right stupid. It has seen slight improvements over the year, but they really don't think, adapt, or seem to know what they are doing. To that same token, each character essentially plays the same, both when you are using them and when you are going against them. I know this is nothing new, but a huge overall would benefit the game in so many ways even at the cost of improvements in other areas or new features.

 

WWE 12 they made a sacrifice in new content, in order to lay a platform for future games. WWE 12 was screwy as all hell, but the leap was made. Now the following year we will get a much more polished game, with a focus on the Attitude Era mode, which has already garnered record sales. With this they should have some leeway to take a risk on revamping the system, without hurting themselves too much. Any awesomeness of WWE13 wouldn't be there if it werent for 12 preceeding it. And every game after will experiene the benefits of the steps taken by 12. 14 could do the same with AI, and then you have a game with a great engine, and great AI from there on out.

 

I personally would be ok with receiving less updates in other areas in order for this to happen, because for me the games greatness primarily comes down to gameplay. I don't care if I can take a full body scan of myself on the kinect, and use that for a caw, if the gameplay sucks @$$.

 

What do you all think?
