GT5's AI will be more "human-like" than in previous games in the series, Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed.
Racing fans are still waiting on a release date for GT5 - with speculation rife that Sony will finally nail one at E3 in June.
When CVG sister mag PSM3 asked him if the 'robotic' AI from previous games had been banished in GT5, he replied:
"How close the AI can come to human lap times? That was the focus of development up until GT4. Now that has been successful to some degree, an attempt has been made to express more human-like behaviour in GT5."
Little is known about what improvements Sony has made to 2008's GT5 Prologue - Yamauchi said earlier this year that GT5 was '90 per cent' complete.
His new comments come as part of a eight-page racing preview spectacular in May's PSM3, which also features F12010, Modnation racers, Blur, Split/Second and more.
