GT Sophy can now race at 19 tracks, up from the 9 that were introduced in November 2023. The AI agent is an alternative choice to the common, dumber AI within the recreation’s fast race mode, with simple, medium, and exhausting settings. However now, at those self same tracks, it’s also possible to create customized races utilizing GT Sophy, which means you are not restricted to only two or three laps. You possibly can allow issues like harm, gas consumption and tire put on, and penalties, and you’ll have some management over the vehicles you race towards.

In contrast to the time-limited demo, the toughest setting is not alien-beating. As a GT7 participant, I am slowing with age, and I discover the exhausting setting to be that—exhausting, however beatable. (I think however want to verify that the sport tailors the toughest setting to your potential based mostly in your outcomes, as, after I create a customized race on exhausting, solely seven of the 9 progress bars are stuffed, and within the screenshot above, solely 5 bars are stuffed.)

Having lifelike competitors has at all times been one of many more durable challenges for a racing recreation, and one which the GT franchise was by no means significantly nice at throughout earlier console generations. This newest model of GT Sophy does really feel completely different to race towards: The AI is opportunistic and aggressive but additionally provokable into errors. If solely the developer would add it to extra variations of the in-game Nürburgring.
