sony publicou uma patente para uma função de “jogo automático”

Final Fantasy XVI (Square-Enix)

A nova função pode permitir que os jogos e joguem sozinhos naqueles conteúdos mais chatos.

A Sony publicou uma patente para uma função muito peculiar e que para alguns jogadores pode parecer confusa, pois o conceito por detrás da patente é que o jogo jogue autonomamente.

Esta funcionalidade de “auto-jogo” (auto-play) é definida de acordo com a Exputer.com, “Método e Sistema para Jogar Autonomamente porções de um videojogo” cujo o propósito é que seja usada para situações em que os jogos propõem o chamado “grind” – denominado como “Anticipated Grinding Content”-, que são ações e objetivos por vezes monótonos e repetitivos, que se colocam a frente da diversão e dos objetivos principais de um jogo, algo muito frequente em RPGs e similares.

“O modo auto-play utiliza dados do modelo de jogo do utilizador para jogar automaticamente o AGC (Anticipated Grinding Content) recorrendo a um estilo de jogo que simula o estilo de jogo desse mesmo utilizador. (…) Quando o jogo do AGC no modo auto-play estiver concluído, é apresentada uma notificação de retoma no ecrã do dispositivo utilizado pelo utilizador durante o jogo.” Pode ler-se na descrição da patente, que indica assim que o jogador poderá ter que treinar essa funcionalidade, com as suas próprias ações. De acordo com a Sony, esta ferramenta irá usar, como é óbvio, tecnologias de Inteligência artificial para esse treino e para identificar também a finalização desses objetivos.

Na descrição da patente também é partilhada uma justificação desta funcionalidade, que está de acordo com o foi mencionado em cima: “Ao usar o modo auto-play, os jogadores poderão evitar as partes dos jogos que não estão a gostar e reduzir o tempo de jogo que o demora a completar, porque a AI do jogador pode completar essas porções de grind a maior velocidade.”

A patente apresenta-se quase vestida de ferramenta de acessibilidade, algo que é cada vez mais importante nos jogos atuais, mas de alguma forma não deixa de se sentir mesmo como uma batota, mas acima de tudo, uma confirmação por parte da Sony que muitos jogos modernos falham em manter o interesse por parte dos jogadores, com mecanismos chatos para manter os jogadores envolvidos a longo prazo que, na realidade, não passa apenas de entulho.
