Did a Mazda MX-5 just overtake your lightning-fast Polyphony F1 car? Does the enemy have a literal army before you even get a Tesla coil up? Is the AI looking through walls at you? Is a chess game making OUTRIGHT ILLEGAL MOVES? Congratulations you are up against a cheating AI.
The Japanese joint venture’s real-world electric car will include an interior sound created by Polyphony Digital. Deliveries of the production car (which is in Gran Turismo 7 already) will arrive in 2026, starting in California.
I had no idea Sony created a whole car brand with Honda. I thought that car they showed off years ago was some one time tech demo to then sell electronics to manufacturers. This is kinda cool. I'm curious to see how it will turn out.
edit: Actually nevermind. Apparently this thing will have a subscription plan. Bruh fuck that wtf.
That's alright, I'm sure it'll sound like a vacuum (GT criticism for ages) anyways..

Your comment makes it appear that you haven't played or seen a GT game since GT5.
GT Sport and GT7 have not only surpass modern Forza in sound, there some of the the best sounding racing games on the market.
Free for Playstation owners
Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.
“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”
This is pretty dumb to say the least.
That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.
If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).
Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)
I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.
It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.
I've seen this in a lot of games. Whether it be CoD AI able to snipe you with sub machine guns from a quite a distance away, or Mario Kart's rubber-band AI always catching up and never leaving you alone (not to mention the constant spiny blue shells).
But I'm not as miffed about them. They create challenge. Sure, it's unfair, but so were a lot of older games back in the day. The first Super Mario is downright brutal once you get to the later worlds. And that game was marketed toward children!
Let's stop being so negative. Again, you're right. It's not fair. But it's not really anything to get angry about.
Cheating AI p***es me off, its a cheap way of extending a games life.
Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge but not when its cheap in how its executed (COD on veteran) I prefer something like Demon Souls, where you die through lack of skill rather than being cheated :)
Over the years you realise that 99% of games cheat especially if you play a game on hardest difficulty ,no matter how powerful computers get they still can't come close to beating Gods computers fairly.
There are games/genres where cheating AI is neccesary to keep it's challenge for the player ...but there are also games/genres where it's just bad game design. Especially in genres that are built on real life activities it should be a matter of realism who wins ...
Fighting games tend to have cheating AI also. Every fighter including the slow ones move faster than the player. Precognitive throw escapes and counters which if done to the extreme can break a game (Dead or Alive 4).
