E3 2013: Forza 5 to feature 'drivatar' that races while you're away

4.5
Promising "the end of AI" in its driving series, Forza 5 will introduce something called "Driveatar," which will learn from players personal driving styles and upload them into the cloud as racing opponents, Turn 10 Studios said on stage at Microsot's E3 news conference.

Driver tendencies such as acceleration, aggression, how they drive in traffic and where they attack the corners will all form a Driveatar profile, available for players to race against even when their owners are online.

How these driveatars will be more sophisticated than most of what we see in online racing—sitting on the right trigger, never braking, crashing through traffic and drifting in every corner—remains to be seen.

Kal_El I love these racing games


I was never a huge fan of racing games, I did like a few Need For Speed games but never got into Forza. I may give this game a chance though.

Shrill This seems like an awesome feature. I will definitely be getting Forza 5 on the Xbox One.


I am really curious as to how good this "Driveatar" can get.

This is an amazing idea and could be quite good but if we are playing against real people then it will be very crazy hard, so hopefully they will make it easier in a way.

I've never played Forza before but I have heard good things about it. I may give this game a chance after I see more gameplay on it when it's released.

Cant wait for F5. This "Driveatar" actually looks cool though.

YIGLobbies I like the thought of this but if it does better than me it go time!


Exactly, what if you can beat a friend online but get owned by their drivatar? #ragequit
