Last March, the American giant registered a patent known as “Persona Driven Dynamic Content Framework”, although it was not published until this month, and the truth is that everything contained in the said EA patent is very interesting, especially since we will see some brush strokes of what the future of video games might be.

The first thing that strikes us about the patent is that it contemplates using technology to create completely personalized content. These personalized contents would be based on the player’s own actionsand several distinct profiles are considered: “explorer, competitor, collector, support, fighter, tank/leader, commander and completist”.

Based on all of the above, the game could adjust its own content to offer an experience completely tailored to each player’s preferences. It goes without saying that for this purpose it would be necessary to start from process developmentas some titles that have been around for a while have already done, including classics like Diablo or, more recently, No Man’s Sky.

So, for example, if a player opts for more gritty action in a title that also allows for the use of stealth, it can be modified to offer the experience. more in line with the player’s preferences. Interestingly, however, this patent would also make it possible to do the opposite, i.e. enhance the opposite experience take the player out of his comfort zone, something I honestly find very interesting.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the use of this technology will also offer users recommendations of games you might like, also taking into account your actions in games that you have enjoyed before. That seems like a good idea too, because the truth is, I’ve been having a hard time finding games that I really like lately. Maybe I’m getting more selective with age, or the level of games is dropping (or a bit of both).

It’s important to keep in mind that this patent is currently just that, a good idea on paper, meaning it may never be implemented into a real project, and even if it does, it could take several years to complete. they have some practical use, so we must be patient as it is unclear what will happen to this patent in the coming months.
