Such a shame all these tracks didn't make it.. (especially Black Betty & Radar Love)
Anyone who has played any Grand Theft Auto title will know that the radio is a key part of the gameplay. It can introduce you to new music, or allow you to listen to your favourite track whilst taking part in a bank job heist, in an attempt to calm your nerves as you try to escape from the fuzz. The music selection in GTA V is varied, but its also inconsistent. You could be listening to a station like “Non-Stop Pop FM” and in it you would have songs from the 80′s such as Wham!’s “Everything She Wants,” then songs from todays era of music such as Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In The World).” Both sound worlds apart and – to reiterate – inconsistent.
But its that inconsistency that reflects the time spent developing GTA V. Here we have a game that has been in development since 2009 and only just went gold master sometime in June/July this year. Naturally you are going to have changes down the line to things like the song lineup on the radio, in the same way you would have changes to a particular mission dynamic. In fact, Rockstar changed the radio song lineup soo much for GTA V, that they actually ended up dropping over 130 songs before the game finally went GM. And by the power of connections and sources, GTAGaming were kind enough to let us in on the songs that were dropped by Rockstar earlier this week.
