PC AI vs Monza Junior's chicane.

[daan]

4 lap race in road cars at Monza Junior. I get through into the lead at the start of lap 2, then the video flicks back to the chicane for some fun and frolics.



That didn't go well.

Oh Dear

Lol. Weird how the black a class doesn't try and reverse.

Also the cars look weirdly super imposed on The track.

That's Project CARS AI summed up right there.

The blue A class has a clear path, yet he sat there the whole race.

Also the cars look weirdly super imposed on The track.

It was foggy, and the graphics can't be turned all the way up on my PC, so it may be that.

Yep, that happens on PS4 as well :-( And the foggy conditions do make the graphics look very bad indeed :-(

It's so weird how bad they are at Monza junior. SMS' last game, Ferrari Racing Legends, had the same track, and I never once saw an AI car have a problem negotiating that chicane. FRL was also based on the same Shift engine that Pcars was, albeit far less changed from the Shift engine.

In this vid, 16 cars in the race, not one AI had a problem. FRL basically used a way more basic version of the engine that became the Pcars engine. Strange that the AI seems to have gotten worse in some ways.



Edit: What's with SMS using such "epic" music in their racing games? My girlfriend commented the other day while I was playing Pcars that the music sounded out of place for a racing game, and would be more suited to "Lord of the Rings battle scene music" lol.

Had that happen when I tried out a one-make race at Monza Junior. Had to stop and literally idled for a minute before a gap opened. A lap later there were still cars stuck at the chicane lol.

I personally think the music is awesome for this game. Once those tracks kick in I get a sudden urge to race/drive. Same thing happened in Shift 2.

That's what I told my self the first time I played P.Cars the music from Shift 2

LOL same thing happened to me

Or



Take your pick.

Gotta love the chicane of doom!

I always see them smashed against the wall before the turn on PS4.

 

[TT92]

Seriously now, surely I am not the only one that wonders how this sort of idiocy got through testing and was actually released to us poor mugs?

Lol thank you for tagging me to this.

Don't try this with forty cars, you get to lap five and it all goes horribly well

There's a similar outcome in the rain challenge at Nurburgring Short, managed to wriggle my way through the first bend carnage while the rest of the field got mangled.

I assumed it was scripted. Similar incidents happen in real life, google GP2 Monza 2010 if you want to see a video of some of today's F1 drivers involved an incident that took out half the grid.
