Rubber banding A.I?

[RodRov]

Really? Anyone can tell?

[The-Mighty-Lulnut]

It appears that way.

[Jazz]

Well that's really disappointing, if true

[midori]

Well, especially for this type of games there's gonna be rubber banding.
I hope it's not as bad as mario kart 64's (or gran turismo 3 arcade mode's).

[Zepper]

I'm highly doubting this, I've seen lots of review of it and I've not seen and rubber banding AI

[[NASA].OR.アナキン ΣσΩ²]

how are you guys playing already its the 10th

[Uiki]

Yeah, tons of rubber band sadly.

I'm not native english, I understand all the separate words you guys are using, but as a whole... what is rubber banding AI? Is it something about collisions or not at all?

I've watched two reviews and they both mentioned it.

It refers to the CPU players always catching up to you, no matter how far ahead you are. Like when you pull and release a rubber band.

I get it, thanks. And that's not so cool, if people (seem to) generally agree it sucks and they don't want it, why would they use it. So the race can stay competitive for longer if you are really good? More chances for cool collisions? Oh well...

That's a very poor explanation.
Have you ever played Mario Kart? Or Sonic all-stars tranformed? If it's implemented well enough you won't even notice it. again, even gran turismo 3 had rubber banding ai.

even GTSport has it.
Use an online translator for words you don't understand.

EDIT: Just tried out the game, yes there's rubber banding AI (as expected from an ARCADE), but nothing too severe. Definitively not as bad as mario kart's.

I don't think I played any of those, thx for the links I'll check those out.

The AI is REALLY rubber bandy especially on Expert.

[Dat Zorro]

It's not that bad, or maybe I'm not noticing it.

"Problem" is the slipstream, which is really strong, so the opponents simply push each other forward. The resulting destruction derby is more of an issue in my opinion.

[Leviathan]

Painful amounts of rubberband in the expert courses. I've been stuck on the last cup for such a long time. If it's not the rubberband that catches the AI up to you, it's the AI ahead of you slipstreaming each other and leaving you the dust.
