Me thinks you don't know what words mean at all. This is basically arguing with a brick wall.
My math teacher can't make a video game because game development isn't math.
Programming needs math which is way very different than: "video games = math".

So yeah, Im a brick wall. You not need to respond, go with users at your "hight level".
 
B Spec Bob fans,your time has come

GT Sophy is awesome, they even said there's still room for improvement, really, I don't know how much that AI can improve. Guess i'll try to enjoy my last moments of life before GT Sophy turns into GT Skynet.
I think they mean improvement in the sense of racecraft and adapting to surroundings/other players in a dynamic environment. The speed will probably improve as a byproduct of that.

From the nature artcile, they mention two explicit areas for improvement: First one is that on longer straights Sophy does not strategize for the other driver retaking position using a slingshot after getting overtaken by Sophy and rather goes for the quickest available overtake. Another one is that it still tries to aggressively overtake opponents who already have a penalty rather than waiting for them to slow down due to penalty and overtake in a safer manner.
 
Just me or does Sophy Bordeaux's hands look feminine?
Yeah. Also "Sportspersonship." And one of the people who raced against the AI was a woman, so...maybe we'll see male/female driver models...we'll see. Kaz mentioned once it's not a major thing they were concerned about and in a game where you'll hardly ever see your driver, I agree. I mean, FM7 has male/female drivers, and...you really wouldn't lose anything if you couldn't choose. It'd be nice, but not a deal breaker.

Thanks for responding. I thought I was the only one.

Side note - I hate it when I look up a word and the definition contains the word you looked up. How is that helpful? :lol:

"As nouns the difference between sportsmanship and sportspersonship is that sportsmanship is the behaviour exhibited in playing sports, either good or bad while sportspersonship is sportsmanship."

I took sportpersonship(what a tongue twister) as the AI adapting to the driver's racing style.
And the friend system might be the first legit tease of what Kaz is thinking for GT8,maybe a social system for offline racing with AI personalities?
 
Man, Sophy Emeraude is savage.

edit: I don't think you should be able to brake with two wheels on the grass like the AI is doing for turn 4 of Le Mans.

This all over the news.

One example, opening paragraph from Wired, (cool intro)

TAKUMA MIYAZONO began driving virtual race cars at age 4, when his father brought home the highly realistic motorsport game Gran Turismo 4. Sixteen years later, in 2020, Miyazono became the Gran Turismo world champion, winning an unprecedented “triple crown” of esports motor racing events. But he had never faced a Gran Turismo driver quite like GT Sophy, an artificial intelligence developed by Sony and Polyphony Digital, the studio behind the Gran Turismo franchise.

Nature is one of the most prestigious science journals out there. A video game related paper being on the cover is of course a big deal for tech outlets. I do not think most people realize how much of an achievement this paper is.

Bob is slowly but surely evolving from trauma of being outbraked by becoming last of the late brakers. Once Bob has conquered the GTverse, it won't be long before his agent figures out how to clone himself and become ruler of the metaverse. Who will be The One to stop him? I suppose if the servers are supplied by E.ON and Bob can't afford to pay the rising costs, then that will be the end until he is resurrected by a GT7 update.

So, GT sport is now at 14 million copies sold as per the making of Sophy video. Where does that put it compared to other GT titles?
