Is Sophy AI fully integrated across all tracks now?

If so I might return to the game after more than a year away from it.

 

[SoullessApples]

[Senua]

Very nice update indeed!

Now all they need to do is add a proper campaign mode and we're golden

 

[TrebleShot]

GT will never come to PC sorry , too much risk of cheating.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Edit: Deleted because of thread merge.

 

[DJ12]

Think you want need for speed or grid

 

[akaFullmetal]

Wow, great update. Sophy is really cool.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Four player support is super dope!
Wish I had 3 other friends to play with Q.Q

 

[Senua]

Think you want need for speed or grid

No I want GT1-6 style career, not shitty super limiting cafe system

 

[Con-Z-epT]

 

[GHG]

A fully authentic classic GT campaign mode with the Sophy AI integrated would be fantastic.

 

[Porticus]

So underwhelming, we need proper race track not this snowy garbo.

 

[//DEVIL//]

At this point the GT team is cleaning the floor with turn 10 devs faces .

A game that not a next gen only and has a PS4 port, looks better than FM ( I have at PC maximum graphics with 4090 ), has VR, has 4 player split screen ...

Yeah most of the team at turn 10 needs to get fired. Especially some of the heads that flat out lied and released a downgraded game.. on a fucking PC neverless.

If I am not mistaken. The team at PD is even less than half of what turn 10 team at.

Just to show the difference between competent devs and fucking woke idiots we have here.

Then they cry why not work from home and "he looked at me funny and he is not super gay like me I demand a raise and everyone fired"

 

[GreatnessRD]

GT will never come to PC sorry , too much risk of cheating.

That's interesting. Well, time will tell. So far, you're right.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

No I want GT1-6 style career, not shitty super limiting cafe system

With how their updating the game, if enough people make noise, maybe there is hope an old school career could be added.

 

[DJ12]

No I want GT1-6 style career, not shitty super limiting cafe system

They had a campaign that was any different than you doing the races and race series events that still exist?

 

[Senua]

[Tsaki]

So with 2.0, Sophy will become a permanent addition to the game but it works on 70% of the cars? That's pretty good. Likely next year they'll integrate it to work on everything.

 

[jroc74]

I just posted recently about the debate over who even plays split screen and how I had a family member who wanted to do that with Wreckfest.

The 4 player split screen is a nice surprise.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

It also showed 19 AI's drivers on track in the trailer.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Very meaty update. Sounds awesome.

 

[Ronin_7]

What a fucking studio DAMN

 

[Duchess]

The 4 player split screen is a nice surprise.

Meh, whatever.

Forza on Series S has 7 player split screen, at 1440/60 (with the extra square being devoted to Cortana AI race commentary).

 

[Markio128]

I may be being a bit simple here, but what do they mean by adding 5 standard and 2 expert level races? Is that to every track in the world circuits pavilion? Is this replacing what is already there?

 

[lughnasadh123]

I'm sorry, did someone say free?

That's a meaty patch to play around with. And all for free in an era where a lot of games want to charge you for every little thing.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

PD are the GOATs!

A major update like this adding a ton of features and content and it's FREE for owners of the game. no additional purchase necessary.

 

[Bojanglez]

Great updates keep coming.

Seems like Sony already have the roadmap for how to roll out a successful GaaS, no need to check everything with Bungie.

 

[BootsLoader]

4 player split screen in 2023.

So GT is becoming Mario Kart?

 

[DJ12]

Same.

Literally no idea what campaign you are talking about.

Do a series of increasing difficult races and then redo.

That's my memory of gt1 - gt5.

Pretty sure there's even a video after you finish the series events in gt7 although it's been a while so maybe not.

 

[Tsaki]

Sweeeet

 

[tommib]

That's an insane update. The game that keeps on giving. Best Sony game released this generation after Returnal, of course.

 

[Markio128]

It seems like a great update - the new events, menus and Sophy integration are the standouts to me. It’s just a shame there is no mention of adding options to the custom race section. Saying that, there are always a few surprises in each big update, so you never know.
