How do the police find you?

According to Polygon, cops rely on your last sighting, especially if CCTV caught you. They can also follow car trackers and witness reports. In the sequence described, Jason and Lucia run after a robbery and a motorcycle crash. A K9 unit joins the chase and an Alsatian jumps on Jason, pinning him down. Polygon jokes that anyone who hates shooting dogs will spend a lot of time in jail.

Will every bystander run away?

No. Per the same piece, each NPC has its own traits: some back off, others attack, victim or passerby, and some try to play the hero. We covered the 600,000 NPC animations earlier today.

What about public transport?

Buses and trains in Leonida reportedly have their own routes and timetables. Head of development Phil Hooker told Edge: "I'm obsessed with making sure they always turn up." Polygon adds that you can ride the bus and watch clouds, as dynamic weather is shaped by wind, humidity, fog, time of day and season. Our weather piece has more.

None of this has been confirmed by Rockstar on its Newswire: it all comes from Edge's account. Dates stay as on the release page.

Why it matters

Running becomes a real game of hide and seek: one camera, tracker or witness can give you away. And a bus that turns up on time says more about Rockstar's care than any explosion.
