@LukeAlmighty are you talking about forza? because yeah, they're just AI cars that use the profile of real players, including the way their cars look.
@LukeAlmighty btw i hated forza, it's what made me go and play hot wheels lol
@Jazzy_Butts @LukeAlmighty define "modern" because racing games have been doing this forever. mario kart on the snes and mario kart 64 are two of the biggest examples of rubber banding ai in racing games.
idk if i saw any of that in forza, but i didn't play it for very long. it seemed less focused on racing against other vehicles and more focused on just getting good times, though.
@Jazzy_Butts @LukeAlmighty it is actually one of the worst rubberbanding racing games ever lol, if you're in first place they can go faster than using a star powerup to overtake you. i think you may be able to lap an AI that's in last place or even 7th, but 2nd and 3rd will be right there with you the whole time.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty Are you sure? I remember being able to lap ai in mk64
