you know the fact there’s police cars in the game makes me wonder if they really did just push the game out without a vehicle AI
lol
i don’t think they just didn’t write it i think they just...forgot
There's reasonable evidence to suggest that AI is entirely pre-determined and/or scriptet. I've noticed multiple times now that if you kill a civvie, cop's and cop-drones will literally spawn out of thin air somewhere around you; sometimes not even hidden. Just completely out in the open.
It's presumably also why vehicle's don't have the knowledge to navigate around you whenever you park your car on the road. All the car sees is something blocking it's path and subsequently it can only proceed unless the blockage is removed.
I've got a strong feeling that it isn't because they forgot, but because they ran out of time. The crunch time probably got the better of them, so as far as they were concerned; making a car drive on a pre-determined route was enough to at least tick moving cars of the development schedule without having to sink hours into coding a legitimately good driving AI and ultimately sacrifice what little time they had on something else.
