gaming Best enemy AI in a video game?

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

From your time playing video games (if you ever have), has there ever been a moment where the enemy AI that impressed you?

 

Well for me FEAR 1 had the best enemy AI I've ever seen in a video game.

And that's saying allot since it's well over a decade old.

I'm talking specifically about the Replica Soldiers.

Throughout the game, you are tapped into the RS's radio chat and can hear what the soldiers are saying to each other.

This is because the command given can help the player predict the actions of the enemy.

Here's just a sample of what they say:

Yes, Replica soldiers will spread out to look for you, try and flank you stealthy, see your flashlight if you have it turned on, throw grenades at a reasonable distance (not at close range which put's themselves at risk), see you at a long distance if you're within the field of view, hear you if knock something over, and will never stop searching for you if they see you once at anytime.

Not to mention that the damage taken on normal difficulty is similar to real life which adds to the dynamic combat in FEAR.

If you play the game without slowmo, you'll die in a hail of gun fire.

But seriously, the AI is probably what I love about this game the most.

Possibly Ninja Gaiden. There are some other pretty incredible AIs out there. Nightmare In Quake Three Arena seemed like a task.

Does it have to be good AI? Cause, I find that the best ones are the idiot ones.
