Every day it is more demonstrated that those stories in which robots dominated the Earth governed by a creature with a superior mind are closer than ever. If the end of the world is just around the corner, given the things that artificial intelligence is capable of doing, then we can proudly proclaim to the four winds that video games already warned us with stories that spoke of certain terrifying AI.
The dawn of the machines
Now, more and more, artificial intelligences are more present in our most daily tasks. From making drawings to projecting what we will be like in 20, 30, 50 or 90 years and not to mention that he can write for us and, very important, do it without spelling mistakes. In video games, these human creations have been present almost since the beginning of time, serving as both aids – such as Cortana in Halo – and cruel and murderous enemies. That’s why here We bring you a list with five games in which artificial intelligence is clearly the villain.
Mega Man X
You can’t talk about artificial intelligence without mentioning video games. Megaman. In this title we meet Sigma, the leader of a faction of revolutionary robots who, after being infected by an evil virus, becomes one of the most fearsome villains in the saga. An evil manual artificial intelligence.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
Speaking of Capcom, his saga crossover with Marvel it had to be here. In his most recent installment, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite we have the previously mentioned Sigma who, through the multiverse, allies himself with the malefic Ultron, the AI that on more than one occasion has been involved with the Avengers. Only the greatest heroes of both Marvel and Capcom will be able to face them.
fallout 3
It’s hard to believe that a game that takes place in the wasteland of a post-apocalyptic world involves gadgets and baddies with artificial intelligence, but it is. The Enclave is the faction we will face in this title and that, in theory, he works for the president of the United States, John Henry Eden, only that in the end it turns out that he is no longer human, but has become a sinister AI. Did you also draw?
Atomic Heart
One of the games that is on everyone’s lips. In this title we will be placed in a retro-futuristic world in which Russia won the Cold War and in which robots have become another complement of our way of life. One day, they rebel and, commanded by a pair of robotic twins, they will become a threat to be reckoned with.
Portal
Finally, we are surely talking about the most emblematic artificial intelligence in the history of video games. GlaDos is in charge of the Aperture Science complex, an organization that creates advanced devices such as the portal gun. But once she ends up losing her mind and annihilating everyone in that place, she will have fun torturing the test subjects (like us). In addition, it must be recognized that she has a great comic vision.
