How Forzas Racing AI Uses Neural Networks To Evolve | War Stories | Ars Technica Ars Technica 2020-09-13 | Today on War Stories, Ars Technica is joined by Dan Greenawalt, Creative Director of the Forza franchise, who takes us through the colossal potential (and many challenges) of utilizing deep neural networks to build sophisticated racing AI. Beginning with the original Drivatar AI in Forza Motorsport for XBOX in 2005, Greenawalt and his colleagues experimented with computer learning, refining their methods from iteration to iteration. It was once the AI system was unshackled from local hard drives and placed online in Forza Motorsport 5, however, that the floodgates truly opened. As the AI rapidly evolved, producing unexpected new behaviors, the Forza team quickly learned how challenging it would be to wield this two-edged sword in creating realistic opponents. 00:00 Introduction 00:42 Chapter 1: The Setup 07:17 Chapter 2: The Problems With AI 11:00 Chapter 3: Drivatar 19:24 Chapter 4: Rubber-banding 23:32 Chapter 5: The Lesson Thank you to the following YouTube users for gameplay footage: kevi86 TheYamiks pHiLaToR99 Tyerell testdrive426 Alex SandOr Paragleiber (Gleiber) GameplayOnly SpecAgentProduction POWERHOUSEHD John GodGames Freelancer Gamer Pirate Love SnoopZaKT1 ApexClone RapidKiller11b THE RED DRAGON Connect with Ars Technica: Visit ArsTechnica.com: http://arstechnica.com Follow Ars Technica on Facebook: facebook.com/arstechnica Follow Ars Technica on Google+: plus.google.com/+ArsTechnica/videos Follow Ars Technica on Twitter: twitter.com/arstechnica How Forza Uses Neural Networks To Evolve Its Racing AI | War Stories | Ars Technica

How One Gameplay Decision Changed Diablo Forever | War Stories | Ars Technica Ars Technica 2020-08-18 | Today on War Stories, Ars Technica is joined by Diablo lead programmer David Brevik to break down the genesis and development of a PC hack & slash masterpiece. Unbeknownst to some, the original concept for Diablo called for a traditional, turn-based RPG - a genre Brevik came of age with and was heavily influenced by. However, following a fateful vote by show of hands at the Blizzard North offices, Diablo became something new entirely and an initially reluctant David Brevik was on the cusp of creating the first entry in a legendary action role-playing series.

How Robert The Bruce Continued The Story of Braveheart Under Brutal Conditions Ars Technica 2020-05-19 | On today’s episode of War Stories, Ars Technica is joined by the creators of the film “Robert The Bruce” to breakdown the bone-chilling conditions under which they worked while bringing the story to life. Writer and star Angus Macfadyen first portrayed the outlaw Scottish king 25 years ago in Mel Gibson’s Academy Award-winning epic “Braveheart,” a film Director and Producer Richard Gray was determined to do justice to. Despite having a budget more suited to an independent film than a Hollywood period piece and shooting in sub-zero temperatures with chest-high snow, the cast and crew of “Robert The Bruce” overcame each challenge and delivered a film that feels intimate from moment to moment, but epic in scope.
