its not an official thread without some animated gif goodness! Enjoy!

Based on all these gameplay vids, PD still hasn't fixed the super-agressive, clueless to your presense AI.

actually from those vids they have made the AI more aggressive and no longer immune to losing control (that RX7 for example). The collision physics have been fixed and the cars dont bounce off each other now. AI also locks up the brakes and corners more aggressively.

yes i saw that, the ai is most certainly better

Look at the very first animated gif of the first post on this page. Thanks to the AI arsehole the player lost the front bumper, broke the door, popped the hood, and who knows what mechanical parts got damaged. That's what I'm saying PD should fix.

Wow onii, hyped eh? :D

How can the AI be super agressive if they are clueless to your presence?

You know what I mean...

Now what would give you that silly idea.. hahah XD

You cant judge the way the AI behave off that first animated gif for a simple reason.

Think of that situation in real life. They are on Tokyo city circuit at a section that is a blind high speed S bend when entering it. The evo is taking at speed the fastest line through the S's (racing line) while the subaru has crashed and is parked in the middle of the racing line. If this happened in real life the same situation would occur. The evo would slam up the rear end of the subaru cause there is no time to brake and no way to avoid the colision without putting himself into the wall. Hence the result would be the same as what we see there.

BUT with that said we have to wait until we see more gameplay footage (mostly from TGS) and have the game in our hands before we can actually say the AI is the same.

Some guys from GTPlanet were lucky enough to be at gamescom and said they were surprised by how aggressive the AI are now and said be ready for a more challenging experience.
