| Re: Weaponized Transhumans: Halo, Deus Ex, Crysis. | |

In Response To: Weaponized Transhumans: Halo, Deus Ex, Crysis... (General Battuta) That was a very interesting read. I do agree that the concern about AIs taking over is more and more present in our media, even if subconsciously or implicitly. However, I believe you took the interpretations (at least from Halo and Crysis) a bit too far. Warhammer and Deus Ex, however, are pretty blatant. Except for that bits in the datapads in Reach and the Terminals in H3, Halo was never about human usefulness. Sure, you can easily interpret it that way (you did it wonderfully, for example), but I can't see as a conscious choice from Bungie. I have not played Crysis 2, nor know enough about its story to comment upon it, but, given what you talked about, it seems like it is the same case as Bungie. At least originally, it was not the intent of the developers to bring up that subject. Anyway, beautifully written, Battuta, as you always do!
