GTA V's radio stations being updated for next-gen release

lol, the pedestrians should do this dance every time the song plays near them.
 
I hope they add in more than just the stuff that was cut during development. While it would be really nice, at the same time there's a lot more they could do with Radio Mirror Park. I'd love to see some CHVRCHES, Joywave, and M83 on it, maybe another song by Jai Paul. A lot of the stuff cut from it wasn't that great.

For some of the stations that are supposed to play new stuff, it'd be great to see stuff from the past year included in it.
 
I thought GTA V radio was amazing. The people they got to host the radio stations was nuts.

Kenny Loggins
Flying Lotus
Cara Delevingne
Big Boy
Pam Grier

Where else would you see all those people in the same place?

How can a release date not change when no release date has been announced other than a vague throwaway season mention

They likely have an internal release date they are aiming to meet, and probably don't want to announce it till they know they can meet it. That release date hasn't changed, we just don't know what it is yet.

Great to hear. I already loved the track selection in GTAV, here's hoping I'm introduced to much more awesome stuff. I'll take that Kavinsky/electro/synth station now as well, Rockstar.

Damn, would have had that on all the time, such a shame we didn't that or a similar one. Would be a great surprise if the rerelease came with Nightride FM.
 
The lack of a synth station was weird if.only because the tangerine dream score has a lot of similar elements. I would frequently turn off the radio to listen to it.

Agreed with wanting metal and classical. It's weird going through Los Santos and not having some heavier rock playing. I also think it'd be really interesting if they added a comedy station. Rawdog on satellite radio was my go to station most of the time.

I'd go crazy if they actually include a synthpop channel with Perturbator, Protector 101, Mega Drive, Kavinsky and the likes.

Imagine cruising the highways with those 80's synth beats. Awesome.

GTA IV's radio station was bad it still had some great songs here and there.

GTA V is probably the worst out of the bunch. Minus like maybe 2 or 3 songs its all junk.
In IV, SA, VC and 3 I was hearing songs I liked that I never heard of before, being introduced to new songs.

V, i tried to do the same, listening to radio stations hoping I would like a song but nope, pretty much all were bad. I think I have had the radio turned off more than on throughout my GTA V game time.

Where is my metal station?

GTAV is seriously lacking Metal! I mean San Andreas is based on California and we don't have have any Bay Area Metal goodness? I least put some Machine Head up in this bitch.

^ Most definitely this!
I would also love some more JB Smoove talk radio segments!
 
Yea...updating radio stations to me means that songs are being removed/replaced because of licensing disputes. Happens with all GTA rereleases.

Uh... What? I mean that happened with "Billie Jean" but in TLAD and TBOGT, we got new radio stations, new DJs, new music in addition to everything that was already there.

Unless I'm mistaken? Do you mean titles that got re-released in the 10th Anniversary editions /mobile?

Man, this makes me jealous 'cause I know SD won't be making any changes like this for it's release on PS4/XB1 in October. That's really about the only thing I'm jealous of in GTA--I'm always hearing an impressive range of hip-hop on these games.

I'd like something like KDST or Liberty rock radio. V's radio stations were kinda lacking on that front I think.

This thread reminds me of how hyperbolic gamers are.

I can see someone not being in love with GTAV's stations (that's subjectivity), but some of the choice language here...

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."

There were a lot of obscure songs and entire genres of music not really represented to the high levels of previous games. Or more to the point: the soundtrack sucked in comparison to some of their earlier games.

I hope they include the Walking Dead in the new stations:

Where's the Linkin Park and Blink 182?

We need Keep your head up a radio station. I want Jay Rock's All My Life and Life's a Cycle on there as well.

Where's Closing Time? They need an 80's rock station as well.
 
I'm sort of curious to see if the Jai Paul song gets cut, considering the weird controversy surrounding that album's release. Given the timing of GTAV's development Rockstar could have gotten permission to use that song from someone who actually had no right to give it to them.
 
We need some more 80s, some better rock, some jazz and something similar to Journey from GTA4.

Edit: I hope they don't remove any current songs or stations, just add to them.
