Their talk looks at the AI and gameplay components used to create the dynamic and interactive open world of Days Gone. They’ll cover some of the different AI units, and how they interact with one another in the Freak-O-System.

They’ll also describe some of the methods used to spawn units and content into the world in a way that improves the player’s experience. In addition, they’ll will go into detail on how the human AI units form squads, and calculate a Front Line to help define the combat area, and choose tactical locations. 

It’s going to be a fantastic in-depth talk on a notable upcoming game, so don’t miss it! And for more details on this and all other announced talks head over to the online GDC 2018 Session Scheduler.
