5. The Police AI Is A Lot More Sophisticated
The police AI, that is, artificial intelligence, looks a lot more sophisticated in GTA V. The stars system for wanted levels returns and at the lower levels police use tasers rather than loaded firearms, which is far more realistic - nobody has ever been shot to death for punching a guy and resisting arrest. Cops will also employ Rottweilers to chase fleeing perps, and as the wanted level rating increases, snipers are called in. Snipers! Their presence will make police chases all the more unpredictable if you suddenly find yourself with a red dot pointed at your forehead or a tyre blown out by a well-placed marksman. Of course, Michael, Trevor and Franklin aren't utterly defenseless against these new policing techniques - and not just because they'll by armed to the teeth. Players can take advantage of the dark at nighttime by evading police searchlight by crouching in bushes before hightailing it, with stealth becoming an important factor in escaping wanted levels. Having a run in with the law looks like it could be a lot more interesting in GTA V.
