According to BGR , recalling the golden age of console gaming in the late 90s, many people may have heard of the name "GameShark", a strange device that allowed 'cheating' using cheat codes in Nintendo 64, PlayStation, etc. games. Although the time of cheat codes has passed, at CES 2024, the name "GameShark" suddenly reappeared with a completely new look: a smart game controller that applies artificial intelligence (AI).
On the official website, AI Shark has introduced 5 upcoming products including an integrated processor, game controller, mouse, keyboard and headset. Among them, the game controller with the ability to "adapt to your playing style" is the highlight.
AI gaming controller can predict player's control movements
According to the manufacturer, this controller is equipped with sensors that detect grip force and button press time. Artificial intelligence inside the circuit board can adjust the sensitivity and response speed of the buttons in real time.
"The controller's AI will learn your habits and preferences, thereby suggesting changes to button positions or adjusting key sensitivity, helping players of all levels to perform complex operations easily. For beginners, this controller will be like an intuitive guide, for veteran gamers, this is an intelligent tool that is always fine-tuned to suit their level," AI Shark explains on the product page.
However, compared to the era of GameShark, the online gaming world today is completely different. There are millions of players competing in games like Fortnite, Call of Duty or GTA Online every day. If this AI controller is really 'smart' as advertised, will it create advantages for the owner and unfair to others?
But that remains to be seen, as AI Shark isn't the first AI company to make 'outrageous' promises it can't deliver. But gamers are at least excited about the prospect of AI-powered gaming devices evolving in the coming years and how game developers will respond to them.
