I can imagine the code for believable customized AI behavior would prove to be a challenge to write. It would be an interesting change to have more control over the atmosphere of offline bots.
I’d like to be able to use any power on demand sometimes, not like it hurts the bots to be playing against a truly unstoppable Jason. I really love the SPC maps but the bots are just to escape happy.įor Jason I’d like to be able to get rage but don’t have time or opportunity, let me start with it and set the recharge rate for Jason’s powers. When making choices they always choose fleeing over staying in the camp, it prevents them from doing anything interesting. The biggest problem with SPC’s is that they just run out of the map area. One option I’d really like is to be able to set the bots to prefer, barracading/hiding, fighting/grouping up or focusing on a specific objective. I’d love to be able to set the stage so to speak. Access to bots options would just be opened at the match start-up screen rather than having them be randomly generated. The beauty of this possibility is that it would be using already-existing assets, of course no new content required. The idea is to allow the creation of unorthodox bot matches to spice up the challenge and fun factor. Or perhaps duel against Vanessa in her Wonder Woman costume with double her max endurance and speed, or against Tiffany in her devil costume with double her stealth with maxed firecrackers and pocket knives.
As the online scene seems to be slowly dying down over time and I find myself more often just doing a quick Offline Bot match/ Single Player Challenge, I'm wondering if there's any chance of a future patch that would allow us to fully customize the offline counselor bots? Such as being able to manually select which counselors that Jason goes up against, which costume/ skin/ clothing they wear, along with being able to adjust their stats and weapons.įor example I think it would be really fun to go up against a group of 7 ultra-strong, aggressive Speedo-wearing Chad-bots who are armed with bats and machetes.
