/vr/ - Retro Games

Jet Moto 2's AI is beyond disgusting and atrocious. Well, actually calling it ab "AI" is being generous even. The first game actually had AI racers, but in order to save on precious PSX resources, the developers removed the AI from the game and replaced it with "real time recordings" of them playing the game.

What that means is that the AI plays the tracks perfectly well without a single mistake, forcing the player to do so as well. Forcing an enemy AI to fall off their bikes seems to work, but you have to go out of your way to do so, and more often than not you will even knock yourself down too.

Increasing the difficulty simply increases the playback of the recordings, meaning the AI gets impossible speed boosts (it is as if they are holding turbo the whole time). Truly appalling.
