Wot I Think: Event[0]
Event[0] News — September 14, 2016
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Futureshock: one day in some strange year to come, Event[0] [official site], a game primarily about simulating conversation between you and a possibly self-aware AI, will seem like a vaguely absurd relic of an innocent past. From my festering chair in the retirement home, I will stave off loneliness by holding convincing conversations with Google Deep Mind or AppleSoft Siri or Sony Zangief or Trumpatron 3000 Gold. A videogame in which I converse with a rudimentary AI that can only really offer canned responses to keywords? Might as well play Space Invaders.
Even so, lost in spacey / chatbot adventure Event[0] has very clever tricks up its sleeve, and hints of where videogame conversation might or should one day go. Its tinman has a heart.
