XB1 New AI

I had an issue last night where it felt like they didn't hold their racing line. TT Cup race at Nurburgring GP and every time I tried to take the classic out braking inside line into turn 1, the AI car would swing to the right into me. Regardless how far I tried to stay to the right, here it would come over. I'm going to try and run that race again tonight to see if it was just a one time thing.

 

I've seen weird behaviour with the TT cup too: they ram you from behind inside the corners if you brake a little bit too much and they take corners badly; meaning they go inside the corners, they open too much and when they release they are going to go off track or go out the driving line, they turn dramatically to correct the driving line.

 

ive just had
an insane battle with AI in the praga r1 .... i think there is still few issues with certain cars but im sure kunos will tweek them

 

i also think the AI in pcars 2 arent going to cut it from some of the reports ive seen on youtube today

 

Silverstone GP. 8 laps. Group C grid. Myself in second place with a 787B and the first one with the same car. I was noticeable faster and I couldn't overtake the other car in the whole race: remarkable stuff (seems that in Silverstone the AI work fantastically).

God bless Stefano Casillo for this update.

 

Agree with you really enjoying the AI in AC feels (to me at least) like I'm racing real people, I know it's still not perfect but it's getting there. I also want to thank Stefano and the guys so much for continually improving the game, I bought Project Cars 2 and all that has done is make me appreciate AC more and more, the physics and FFB feel so much more realistic in AC, can't comment on the AI yet in PCars2 haven't had chance to do a race. I just hope Stefano and co keep on improving and adding things to AC and then AC2 and so on because I can't enjoy Forza, Gran turismo and PCars2 etc in the same way again after experiencing Assetto Corsa

 

Pcars2 AI currently.

 

I Tried PC2 and immediately after A.C. same car Ferrari 488 GT3 in Barcelona. Sorry to say for SMS they improved their game but it is still far far far from A.C.. Kunos 4 SMS 1. Only the number of tracks...

 

I think its best to look at Pcars as a game rather than software you use to enjoy driving cars you can only dream of owning. Objectivly speaking, pcars2 is probably the best racing game to hit consoles since the first TOCA game on PS1 ( not talking about physics but just as a video game). And the great thing for AC lovers is that Kunos can not rest on their laurels, they cant just offer AC2 with more content than AC1. They need to bring something to the table that gets the attention of the press and the non niche players who only care about physics first.

They need to match Pcars for many of its feature, and surpass it. I propose Kunos add some Trophy trucks, with some stadium courses, and with some modified courses on circuits like they do short rally courses at Monza. They could have 20 odd courses that way, and why not, an official license. I think it would be awesome to have them in a proper SIM.

 

Nice... Cars can actually climb on top of each other that's quite something. Now I know why they call them self's Slightly Mad Studios

 

I agree with you when you say that PC2 is a game and not a simulation despite the media tried to assign to it this title. From this point of view PC2 is still far from AC and IMOalso the graphic despite is well made is too toys stile. In addition if you got a look in the PC forum you can see that PC2 is a festival of bugs. SMS repeated again the same mistake they did last time. So thank you Kunos for realising A.C. with custom championships and new AI on console. If you like to "drive" AC is your software meanwhile you like to "play" then up to you....

 

What is this? The Great Wall?

 

I've seen a few videos where inputs from the controller completely cut out during a race. That's a pretty bad bug.

 

So is the new AI improved across the board? Including career and special events? Or only custom championships and quick race?

 

if your talking ac AI then yes they have massively improved in 1.15 patch
im still getting used to not being knocked off the track 3 wide round a corner

 

Yep, some combos are obviously going to be better than others though.

 

Thanks friends! Yeah I’m talking AC AI, but on PS4 if that’s what you meant. I know this is a XB1 thread, I figured both platforms performed the same in this aspect. I haven’t had much seat time with the latest update unfortunately.

 

yes im on ps4 should imagine xbox are the same
i feel dirty as ive been on pcars 2 since release but the AI are useless i shall return to ac

 

Ha ha same here, sort of. I went to playing PC1 again for the gameplay neglecting the latest and greatest from AC. I’ll have to give it another go this weekend.

 

My experience of the AI is a little different I'm afraid. Brands Hatch in the 98T and the AI seem to struggle to take turn 1 without going wide and then the car just sat there for the rest of the race. A few laps later another car does exactly the same and I ended up with multiple cars there which caused further problems any time a car did the same again. This happened at several spots around the track, between the two sweepers being another place. The last corner they also struggled especially if following close behind and invariably drifted off wide. Also, every lap out of that final turn they would jink slightly right losing pace and make it very easy to pass underneath along the straight. Into turn 1 was another place they were too easy to pass.

Obviously this is only one car and track and I did have some decent racing in between these thungs happening and I hope I find things improved like you guys have as I have more races over the coming weeks.
