00:01Have you ever noticed that cars in GTA 5 sometimes pull right in front of you for no reason?
00:06That is actually on purpose.
00:08GTA 5 first came out on the PS3 at the time.
00:11The game looked amazing.
00:12But the console had very limited memory and slow hard drives.
00:15To avoid loading screens and big frame drops, Rockstar had to be smart.
00:19One trick they used was traffic behavior.
00:22When cars suddenly pull in front of you, it can slow you down.
00:25That gives the game a little more time to load the world ahead of you.
00:27So it is not always just bad luck or bad AI.
00:31Sometimes it is the game trying to keep everything running smoothly without showing a loading screen.
