What's up everybody welcome to IJN Game Scoop I'm your host Damon Hatfield

Joining me this week is Tina Meeney. Hi everybody. Sam Clayborn. I've been thinking about what to say at the head of Game Scoop for like five years

And I like what our producer just said let's roll

And Justin Davis scoop

And we've got a great show for you this week. We are going to discuss the return of E3 E3 the white

Maybe it's called it's back to the same

We're gonna flip through IME3 as it was intended to be

We're gonna flip through a 1998 issue of PlayStation magazine. I'm not sure which month I picked but I'll

We'll look at that when we get to it hold your horses everybody, but first

How would everybody feel if you were playing an EA published game and EA was just deciding

How difficult your game should be for you and they're making all those adjustments behind the scenes

EA has patented an adaptive difficulty system that will adjust the difficulty to hopefully keep you playing

Longer the system. This is from a patent the system can't quote review historical user activity data

With respect to one or more video games to generate a game retention prediction model

This model is then used to predict how long the user is expected to play for

Using this prediction the dynamic difficulty system can calibrate the challenge to make sure you play for that duration

It's a little unclear to me. Do you guys this is sound like they're going to like make it the game easier to keep you playing longer?

Or they think you're getting bored with that? I thought they're like make them fight the boss nine times

But that's like a nine times first that wouldn't keep me playing though

Yeah, that's how I interpreted it to that it would it would extend like let's say there's a level and you blast through it

So clearly or very adapt skilled player and the next equivalent level they make it more difficult so that it takes longer for you to get through that chapter

That's how I interpreted it, but yeah, Damon you're right like it's very unclear in general
