Will we be able to add ai to multiplayer?

I searched the forums and could not find a thread for this.. Hope I'm not duplicating..

My brother, a friend and I, used to race in Assetto. Absolutely love the game and the FFB is the best out there. The online part is just missing the AI we thing, It is not that fun to race just us three, so we joined www.revs-simracing.co.uk very nice guys, but way way to good for us, and we can't always race the same weekday. Joining other multiplayer games was just not that fun often just a handfull of cars, some clown would ram us or they were just to good.

So we actually switched to Project Cars just so we could race with 25-30 Ai.

My qustion is do anyone know if they will add AI to the multiplayer? I dont care if the are bad. Project cars AI is not the best but it is very fun.. and that is what is important for us.

 

It has been discussed before.

Like you, I would love for it to be possible, but it does not seem to be in the short to mid term plan.

 

As I understand it it is never going to be done.

 

Bummer, my brother and I prefer Assetto Corsa, but resort to Rfactor2 for multiplayer with AI. Would love for AI to be added online.

 

Why not find a good bunch of racers and join them? Much better than AI in every way possible. Anyhoo, enjoy your racing.

 

I compare it with my experiences. I had some fun races with a friend who is not into sim racing or racing in general. But he owns Pcars and so we could have some rounds with a full AI grid but you dont wanna have him in a serious online race. Second is, that the choice is on you which car and track, pretty fast configured. Thats not possible in AC this way. So I would like it too to have the option of AI Cars on a Server. But I know its not so easy to implement. I could live without it. I love my AC how it is

 

Thanks for the answer and sorry for bringing it up again..

To bad it is not going to be a part of the game, but I'll live

Again thanks

I know this is not the solution to the problem, but I can recommend the ALOOG servers. Also, I could use some "slower" people there since most folk there are too fast for me We race fair and clean. Bare in mind though that they are Minorated; meaning you have to reach a certain grade of "cleanliness" to be able to connect.

 

A problem of online servers for random occasional races is that you have to choose between the available servers, what if you don't find the combo you're looking for? Setting up a private server allows that level of control, but then there are just two cars on the grid, and it can eventually get boring. Also between more friends it becomes harder to match day times and skills level.

Having the AIs on the grid allows just us two to have the possibility to choose our combo, our days, our weather, our settings, and most importantly the opponent's level, to make the race just perfectly fit to us.

I can see though lots of difficulties implementing online AI support, and surely an increment in both processing power and bandwidth requirements for the host. Yet, I'd really like that to happen

 

well I can`t imagine I could ever run with humans whole lap or two 2-3 cars wide I did today with 30 AI in V8s in GSC but yes, human randomness gives a lot to experience (sadly works both way and on public usualy the bad way) ... yet how could anybody be against mixed human/AI servers as option

 

The ones that need to make it work.

But yeah... 1. There is just a small bit of possible combos you can race online, 2. There is a limited amount of drivers who don't screw things up.

I personally love to play onlinegames just with a few guys I really know and in this case AI is pretty handy.

However, I would rather hope for bigger grids and multiclass first. Recreating all those endurance races that have far more then 24 cars in different classes would be awesome.
And on the Nordschleife and LeMans its kinda necessary to have density so you have company in later stages of the race.
You can invite one or a few friends and swap every few rounds. Thats my favorite kind of MP. Cooperative.

 

When we think about it, RF2 has it, PCars has it, mind you they are both based on the same ISI physic engine at the core, but still since it is possible in many other SIM/racing game, it might be possible to have it in AC one day.

 

I know your question is sincere, but there are a ton of reasons. By being able to fill up a track with AI my brother and I can race at any time on any day. Further more, we can simply remake the race if something comes up (phone/work/etc). Additionally, we have complete control over the tracks, cars, settings, etc.

 

In 100% agreement with this one.

I just bought AC for PC while waiting for it to be released on PS4. I'm gonna buy it no matter what; the vision of this game is just too compelling.

However, adding the possibility of racing against AIs together with a few friends would really add further value to the product IMO. And besides that, I also think it'd be a good selling point, since my job persuading friends (who are not that much into online-gaming) to buy this game would be a lot easier, if we knew that there were good possibilities for easily creating exciting races without being dependent on external factors (servers, other players...)

 

still no AI in multiplayer? We switched from AC to pcars because we are only 3 or 4 people and AI in multiplayer makes much more fun.

come on!

 

Enjoy Pcars then because there are no plans to ever implement AI being available in MP.

 

Add those loons to the MP servers! Holy flying lizards batman, ain't the open servers bad enough. Keep AI where they belong, in single player mode.


P.S. Thinking about it they would be banned real quick by MR so bring em on.

 

Agree that AI belongs to SP and should never reach a public server. But, I can see why playing with friends on a closed server with AI filling the grid would be appealing. Much like playing any other game in co-op, sort of. I wouldn´t use it meself, but I probably would 10-20 years ago when I was less comfortable with my skills against other players.

 

exactly. Public servers are not an alternative for us...
