Under vores interview med Turn 10's Dan Greenawalt, lærte vi en masse interessante ting, hvad angik holdets implementering af Drivatar-systemet, der gør brug af spilleres online data til at skabe mere realistiske AI-modstandere.
"We now have millions of data points from Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2 too," forklarede han, da vi spurgte ind til systemet. "And we're able to pull all that into Forza 6. So everyone's Drivatar is already racing in Forza 6."
Holdet laver nogle finjusteringer til systemet i denne omgang, så det bliver muligt at skræddersy sine venners computerstyrede modstykker, som det har været ønsket af fans.
"We now have a toggle, an option to make them more professional. You still get all their humanity, but they won't drive like jerks." Greenawalt understregede dog, at spillere vil have flere muligheder: " You don't have to turn that on - its Forza, you have a choice."
Teknikken bag Drivatar-systemet overrasker fortsat studiet, selv i de ældre versioner, som findes i tidligere spil. "As Soon as we got the new physics system working in Forza 6," mindes han, "we plugged the older Drivatars in - they instantly learnt how to drive the cars that day."
Der er ingen tvivl om, at Drivatar-systemet er en interessant tilføjelse til racing-genren. Har I haft nogle sjove oplevelser med systemet?
