The patent is a lot less interesting than it sounds initially.
It instantly made me think of the original Borderlands and how my friends and I would try to see how long we could “bounce” on each others heads, because if you jump on top of another character, you’ll just keep “bouncing” off of their head.
It’s tricky to keep landing on them, even if they’re not moving!
I kind of figured they meant that something dumb like that could be turned into an actual mini-game within a game, allowing you keep score.
No, the patent is way fucking dumber, sounds like more stupid AI bullshit, and basically focused on dumb streamer shit.
All I remember about Rage is buying it and then immediately refunding it. This was several years after release and somehow it still had stupid issues with Radeon video cards. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I suppose maybe that’s fixed by now, but I never went back.
