soundtrack to gtaiv?

joe123

Does anyone know what sort of songs have been signed up to be included in the radio stations yet? Its being set in the present but do you reckon theyll have 80s and 90s along with the usual talk stations?

i'd imagine the ability to make your own with your mp3's and possibly the ability to play internet radio stations.

More than likely, á la Saints Row

Not sure a few of the radio stations are on the rockstar site. I hope it will be more modern music. Vice City was all 80s, San Andreas was all 90s IV has to be new modern stuff, well I hope

evad_lhorg

modern music is a load of **** though. itd be full of emo and crap rap stuff along with kelly clarkson and the others

Kiith

I really hope you can add your own music. Thats the best thing about the pc versions of GTA (as well as the better graphics, better controls etc...). If you can do that with the 360 version, i'd be very happy.

All GTA's have had great music.....like there is not one song I didn't like in SA, the blend was amazing.


Seriously you can't just say 'crappy' music because you like Oasis, or that Dublin band with the Junkie.

the_syco

Hope they also d a few piss-take songs as well

Must've been either a troll, or an attempt at irony...

:rolleyes: The GTA games are developed by Rockstar North, who are based in Edinburgh.

To be fair though I wasn't exactly the biggest country music fan, but today 'hey good looking what ya got cookin' and 'in the desert no one remembers your name' are all residents of my Ipod.

Hell at the time I hated 'rocker' music...

You mean 'Horse With No Name'. Anyone remember the lyrics "The menfolk found their women scary coz they were so big and hairy"

nix

I just hope the radio chat shows and advertisements are as funny as they used to be

"They've taken your family hostage"

"But im not married ! "

"You are nooooow"

And

"I'll cry.....when im done killin!"

But yeah i hope they dont mess the soundtrack up with today's pop/rap crap ;(

When i frist played through the game i only listened to the rap and the likes, second time since i had overplayed anything i only listened to K-Rose(country music) bar 2/3 songs i loved the rest and have a few in my computer now!!

Everybody from the top:
''....ALLLLLL MY EX'S LIVE IN TEXAS....''

I think I just came a little there meself....

Blisterman

Now that it's been leaked. Does anyone have a full soundtrack listing of all the stations yet?

pocketac3s

Just watching the stream there, Kanye West Flashing Lights is one track.


I want this game.

Creamy Goodness

smashing pumpkins - bullet with butterfly wings is another track.

if that's the quality of tracks on the rock station screw listening to mp3's or whatever.

corcaigh07

ah christ thats savage. the music was a little disappointing in SA overall considering the classics that could have made it(except GNR and Stone roses of course). since this game is modern day, anything could turn up. awesome.

writetojd

Hope Lazlo has a good input, quite funny in the other radio stations. Think he scripted a few too

Blisterman

I believe Laslow is the guy at rockstar in charge of the radio stations.

Charlie

Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the soundtrack. Some crackers in there. Can just imagine blaring Jim Jones 'We Fly High' as I speed across the Brooklyn Bridge with the Manhattan skyline towering over me :pac: :pac:

Blisterman

Sweet. Last time I saw that, there were only a few tracks up there.

Lots of great songs I know there. Most I don't, but what I love about GTA is how it introduces you to loads of cool songs, you'd never have heard of otherwise.

corcaigh07

big budget soundtack. i see iggy pop and juleitte lewis are 2 of the djs! have they nothing better to be doing...

genericgoon

Looks very nice. I kinda liked having a classical music station though.

Smegball

Holy Christ, thats the best soundtrack I've ever seen :O
Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Black Sabbath, Daft Punk, The Who, and loads more:O
OMG :):)

estebancambias

Daft Punk? Class.

I really want to wait for the game to see who's on the rap/Hip Hop stations.

Air - La Femme D'argent and Daft Punk - Make Love on one station.. relaxation on the way:)

Mikeyt086

Jim Jones?!?!?!

Im sorry, but i am in LOVE with that song. BALLIN'!

SNL

Jean michel jarre excellent electrochoc all the way

minidazzler

I have a feeling that they could produce more content every now and then and release it for the Radio stations!!

My favourites on the soundtrack:

Kanye West featuring Dwele - "Flashing Lights"
The Smashing Pumpkins - "1979"
Electric Light Orchestra - "Evil Woman"
Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"

joe123

doesnt look like it will beat gta vice city in the soundtrack department. Hardly know any of the tracks listed...hopefully theres some good unknown songs

Borneo Fnctn

I think the best song ever put into a GTA game was Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Nick_oliveri

Nah the song about Amos Moses in SA.

"Thats all he got left cuz the Alligator bit it!!"

Heh I love that song.

I'm disappointed there's no Country & Western station in IV.

eggplantman

loved welcome to the jungle in sa

anytime billie jean came on was a good time in vice city.

Deadmau5 as well... Definitely one of my favourite new artists, it's good to see him getting represented properly here.

remus808

That Wikipedia article keeps getting changed...

I want to believe it but stuff keeps coming and going off the page. Surely someone who has the game can put a list up online?

remus808

Found (after much searching) scans of the manual.

http://s217.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/kev25b/

Only about 50% of the rumoured stuff is on there. No daft punk or interpol . On the bright side, Kavinsky, Boyz Noise and Justice are all there!

Blisterman

What's the opinions so far?

Personally, I only knew about, maybe 20% of the songs in the game, before I played. But I must say, after only a few hours playing, I think the standard is very good.
I can see a lot of them seeping into my brain as I play more, and staying there.

humanji

Personally, I think the music is a huge let down. There's a few songs that I'll listen to and the rest just really annoy me. Which is pretty ****ty, since I want to listen to the DJ's and don't want to have to listen to the music in between.

Smegball

I actually really enjoy the soundtrack, Electo Choc and Liberty City Rock being the favourites
