Microsoft has created a playable demo « inspired » by Quake 2 using its new AI tool, but it’s practically unplayable.
Back in February, Microsoft unveiled its Muse tool that uses generative AI to aid « gameplay ideation ». Now we can see it in action with something that looks like Quake 2, in a tech demo to show how Microsoft’s AI tools can « simulate interactive gameplay ».
Hosted in Copilot Labs and playable in a web browser, the demo « dynamically generates gameplay sequences inspired by the classic game Quake 2 », according to a Q&A. « Every input you make triggers the next AI-generated moment in the game, almost as if you were playing the original Quake 2 running on a traditional game engine.
