Need For Speed The Run Cop AI Tactics Explained

The last developer interview for Need For Speed The Run came out. It features game designer Justin McGuire, the man behing most of the cop AI and tactics for the game.

Some new features will be installed for The Run players regarding the strategy of the police cars chasing the racers. Most of the agressive actions made by the cops while positioned behind your vehicle are put to the side and the focus will be on blocking from side or front positions, decreasing reaction interval for you thus making it harder to evade.

Justin McGuire talks about replacing cantity with quality regarding cop cars from The Run. Instead of a big number of black and whites crashing all over the road, the number will be severly decreased while the AI will be increased. Check out the full interview below and go thorugh these final days before the launch as quickly as possible.
