Competent AI opponents are the key to a good single-player racing game. And with this week’s update, Gran Turismo 7<\/em> is getting an AI upgrade as Sony rolls out its Sophy AI agent as a permanent feature of the game. The entertainment company tested the waters earlier this year for a few weeks in a limited test, but when the GT7 Spec II<\/em> update rolls out to consoles tomorrow morning, Sophy will be able to race 340 of the game’s cars on nine of its tracks.<\/p>\n

Ideally, you want the AI in a racing game to be good enough that the race is a challenge, but perhaps not quite so unbeatable that it’s a fool’s errand to try to win.<\/p>\n

That’s been harder than it sounds to get right\u2014the older players among us will remember the AI in earlier installments of GT<\/em>, which mostly stuck to a preprogrammed line with little concern for where you, the human player, wanted to put your car. Microsoft’s long-running Forza<\/em> franchise actually has its origin in a neural net experiment<\/a>, and more recently, its developers used each human player to train an AI agent that would populate their friends’ games, albeit with imperfect results<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
