EGM: KillZone 2 Dumbest AI..... and Halo 3 Best AI

177 In what looks like the "dumbest" comparison, EGM have decided to side by side compare Halo 3 - due out on release in under 3 weeks, with the alpha build of Sony's KillZone 2 that was previewed at E3. Despite the game being almost a year away from completion, and despite the developers noting that the A.I was not yet complete, the journalists at EGM wanted to include the game in their "Best Of.." section of the magazine and it seemed like the only category best suited for KillZone 2 was the "Dumbest AI".
This is a direct contradiction from the latest hands-on by IGN and Game Informer, whom actually chose to note the positives of the early version of the game in relation to the "aggressively good" intelligence of the game.

I could tell this just from the gameplay vids, I know the game is early, but when Crecente from Kotaku questioned the Killzone team about this when he had his playtest, they didn't have much to really say about it. They did say that it is a lot better than the first Killzone though. It seems like they didn't really work on A.I. again. This game is a pure graphics game and they are putting too much of the power into that and not into things for gameplay like A.I. A.I. should be something that works pretty well from the get go, even if it is alpha the enemies shouldn't just be standing there doing nothing. Hopefully they will tighten up the A.I. by launch time next year or they are gonna have a lot of disapointments with a pretty game.
