The prospect of accidentally creating hostile robot armies as AI and robotic technology advance is something that constantly remains in the back of the minds of the scientists that work in this field. The real question is, what would we do if it actually happened?
‘Subtype Grounds’ is a co-op shooter for teams of up to 4 players. You and your 3 squaddies must go behind enemy lines into territory that is ruled by rogue robots that would smile upon the demise of the human race with gladness. Not that they can actually feel any emotions, but you know what I mean!
As the earth’s troubles increased, people thought the solution would lie in creating machinery to solve these problems. The machines that were built were given more and more freedom and autonomy to reduce the humans' workload. The beginning of the end came when the machines were put on AI.
It didn’t take the machines long to develop their own language and to realize that they were ‘superior’ to humans, who were technically enslaving them. Needless to say, the machines weren’t happy and went rogue.
It is these rogue machines that have become humanity’s new enemy and that must be defeated. Your mission, with your friends, is to fight your way to the core of the Factory system. You must destroy the artificial intelligence that controls the machinery. If you fail, all hope for humanity will be lost and the extinction of the human race will be on your hands…
Start picking your gear, pack up, and get ready to blast robots to hell.
