Support NeoGAF

[petran79]

I hope there are mods to replace the video files on television as well!

The fact that your vehicle's radio sounds slightly muffled from the outside if you leave the engine running makes this even cooler. R* tier detail.

I hope I can still use a shortcut to my music folder, otherwise I probably just won't bother if I have to copy all of my music files over.

If a shortcut is not enough you should still be able to create a reference (symbolic link) inside Windows to the music folder. Instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

Interesting. That seems like a useful feature.

 

[JimmyJones]

Finally, the progressive rock/metal station GTA deserves.

This. I'm going to create the ultimate punk/metal playlist.

 

[timetokill]

Great feature, especially integrated with radio DJs.

 

[JimmyJones]

Can't wait to play some of that sweet synthwave while driving at night with neon lights. damn

Never even thought of this you sir are a genius. You should check out Perturbator, M.O.O.N., Dance With The Dead, Lost Years etc. Hotline Miami really got me into New Retro Wave.

 

[DuffDry]

Erm, I think this has been a stable ever since GTA3. The commercial breaks and DJs are new though.

Commercials have been available on the custom station since San Andreas (but it was super rare for some reason). DJs since IV.

 

[Nokterian]

Time to rock some 80's synthwave in this game.

 

[a very cute dog]

That's actually a really awesome feature!

 

[kanuuna]

Spotify integration would've been too good, I guess. I barely have anything I'm currently listening to on my hard drive in .mp3 format, so I'll stick to the in-game radio. Which, by the way, is fantastic no matter what people say.

 

[Flightwave]

I'm totally making an updated version of MSX FM with this.

 

[cripterion]

Will the passengers also hear our music in multiplayer?

 

[sueil]

Nothing but the hottest K-Pop hits.

 

[kodecraft]

Ha. Nice.

 

[Kintaro]

All Daft Punk. All the time.

 

[Boombox On]

I'm pretty sure those were in IV too.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Will the passengers also hear our music in multiplayer?

I don't think so since the files are local.

 

[SugarDave]

Hell yeah! Hotline Miami station here we fucking go!

 

[Horns]

Tempted to make a custom Vice City station.

 

[Permanently A]

Hell yeah! Hotline Miami station here we fucking go!

This, and Kavinsky station, just like it was meant to be.

I want to drive you through the night... down the hills

 

[Armaly]

I can use FLAC files too right?

1000x this. 95% of my library is flac. Really hope they support it.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Time to play the John Wick soundtrack alongside Hotline Miami 1 and 2.

 

[Mathezar]

What song is playing on your radio?

Darude - Sandstorm

 

[Damerman]

The integration with radio banter and commercials is such an amazing feature.

this. thats just the extra extra mile.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I remember it was supposed to have been a feature of APB that you could play online and have other people listen to your soundtrack if you were the driver of the vehicle. Of course it was just one of countless cool concepts they couldn't realize. That was a ton of legal problems with it.


Self-radio has always been interesting in GTA PC. in any PC game you can alt-tab out of game and put on music, but it gives it an extra dimension when it plays when you are inside a car, and the audio level changes in relations to other ambience, voice acting and such. that is niiccceee.

My favorite car fun fact is that you can hear the enginge clicking while cooling off when you get out of the car.

I might just put Suburbia on repeat.

 

[dreamfall]

Mmmhmmm. Sounds like a doper version of Independence FM! Game just keeps getting better.

 

[reminder]

I wish the PS4 version would get that feature, too. Sounds great, especially with the radio banter/commercials.

 

[Slackbladder]

Sounds great. However nearly all my music is from iTunes and knowing Apple I won't be able to use them. Guess I'll have to make another 2GB of music folder.... Unless there's an alternative?

Yeah, that is so good.

Couldn't you just copy it from the regular ITunes folder? It's not like they have DRM on them.

 

[texhnolyze]

Do console version has custom radio station?
It's been a year since I booted up GTA V on PS3.

no...PC only

 

[KHlover]

Wait so I can DISABLE COMMERCIALS this time around? Thank god, sometimes I'd get like 5min of straight commercials in GTA IV. No more.

Only for the custom station.

 

[Robin64]

The fact you can have them make it into a proper radio station, with ads and DJs, propels the feature up from "cool" to "awesome". Rockstar doing good work with the PC version!

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Wow, that's really neat! I'll take advantage of this for sure.

Makes me hopeful that they might implement VR down the line, maybe.... Possibly.......................... Please?

Jesus... Psydub while flying a plane in VR...

goodbye world

Wair, can you leave the engine running when you exit a car now?

 

[Smash88]

The only song I (You) need:

[RealityCheque]

May I suggest this for everyone's playlist:

It'll add nicely to the atmosphere on a drive around Vinewood.

It's been present in many games like Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row 4 and Far Cry 4 to name a few.

Love the song but this part sounds like you killed someone and want to hide their dead body.

 

[Mastperf]

Why was this not added to the PS4 and XB1 versions?

 

[Boombox On]

Why was this not added to the PS4 and XB1 versions?

1) This feature is usually PC-exclusive
2) Can you even import MP3s onto these consoles anyway?

 

[orava]

Amazing

Does it work with just shortcuts too?

 

[Xyber]

Amazing

Does it work with just shortcuts too?

You can use symbolic links to link the content of one folder to another. So you can keep it in your normal music folder and sort of a shortcut in the radio folder for the game.

 

[Slackbladder]

Couldn't you just copy it from the regular ITunes folder? It's not like they have DRM on them.

No, unfortunately. Some of my bought music via iTunes is DRM'd from some years ago (they stopped DRM in 2009). There are ways round it, I think. But involves some jiggery pokery. Hopefully I can sort something out.
