Go to Soundtrack. There's also supposedly a small preview, but I can't confirm since the site is getting fucking slammed by visitors and it's slow as hell.

 

[Fifty]

Thank you. Nice clear topic too

 

[Goreomedy]

Woo! Knew it had to be soon.

To hear the radio, click the numbers on the radio. 1-10

 

[pilonv1]

Part of me wants to know every song, but it's so close to the release I might try to avoid it and discover them for myself in the game.

Well, Rage Against The Machine is in, "Killing in the Name" if I'm not mistaken.

[Wario64]

Lead by Audio Designer Allan Walker and Music Producer Craig Connor, the radio aspects of the game have been given a complete technical overhaul. Instead of looping the sounds heard on each station, for instance, the entire setup is dynamic -- which allows each DJ to react to events in the game in real time. What this means is, that each and every song will be given a different introduction based on who the DJ is, as well as being prefaced with comments on CJ's progress through the game. Additionally, players can expect to hear live weather bulletins, deadly accurate news updates, music blocks, custom track lead-ins and outs, and call-ins from people all over the state.

...

Perhaps the coolest aspect of radio stations, though, is the fact that each and every vehicle will play songs differently -- since every vehicle has different speakers inside them. As an example, normal cars have a more balanced sound playback while lowriders offer a huge amount of bass and low-end audio. Players will also have access to a new optional feature that allows them to adjust the sound level of their ride.





Sounds nice

 

[Goreomedy]

Big thumbs up on even these sample tracks. And that the radio stations are now dynamic, dreams can come true. Too... much... greatness...

 

[WarPig]

Slick Rick on the old-school hip-hop station. Good stuff.

DFS.

 

[DMczaf]

James Brown - Payback!!!

 

[pilonv1]

I'm guessing the chat stations weren't listed?

 

[WarPig]

That's a good point, the sampler doesn't mention a talk station.

DFS.

[Goreomedy]

The two screens with IGNs update:

I wonder if you will lose the station signals once you put distance between you and the cities. For instance, maybe the only thing you can listen to in the country is KRose.

 

[Goreomedy]

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[pilonv1]

Holy shit that would be the most awesome thing ever. "Ice T I wish you ill".

Surely such a huge thing like that couldn't be kept quiet?

That is so fucking awesome!

Does this mean my dream will finally come true? DJs reporting my crime sprees!!!

 

[evil ways]

I think it's Opie and Anthony, they were mentioned a few months ago as having something to do with San Andreas but that they signed a document that prohibits them from saying anything about it.

 

[Bob White]

Fucking rockstar!

This is what I did NOT need to hold me over until the game comes out. I was happy being in the dark. Content with the hype being on halo 2.

Why?????

I can't fucking wait, that's why!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm too happy now. I'm...I'm......

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

'Baby, I'ma do it to you right in your earhole. 3D style.'

Gold.

The Funktipus = George Clinton? I think so

It's been confirmed ladies, Bell Biv Devoe. Take off your panties....now.

'Poison'

Girl, I must warn you, I sense something strange in my mind

A whole station dedicated to New Jack Swing and early 90's Teddy Riley, etc. Rumpshaker is a must. You can't mention New Jack Swing without Rumpshaker. And it's gauranteed to be playing at any strip club in Vegas, in this game. Fuckin Sweet.

This game is gonna rock your tight lil ass.

 

[Bob White]

The N-bomb will be in full effect is seems.

Gotta love rockstar having some balls.

Willie Nelson?!

I can fucking DIG IT!

Sounds nice

Does sound nice but I am worried about the 'dynamic' part of the playlist. Sounds like it'll be harder to hear that exact song you want. I used to time it so I could hear MJ 'Wanna Be Starting Something' or that Rick James song, 'Ghetto Life', or certain portions of the various chats, etc. I hope they have an option to select the station you want to hear, no matter what car you get into. I like the variety, but certain stations lend themselves to certain situations. And once you get your favorite station, you end up changing the station anyway. Just give me what I want Rockstar.

Willie Nelson?!

Yeah, that caught me off guard. I hear it all the time on radio but in a game, it still is a shock.

Sammy Sosa-IT'S SOOOOO REEEAAAALLLL!!!!

 

[Bob White]

It's settled already. SF-UR is my favorite station.


ROCK!

 

[jett]

Whoa, sounds great!

 

[Pedigree Chum]

(Sample Track: Killing in the Name by Rage Against The Machine)

*drools uncontrolably*

 

[ThirstyFly]

Wow, great tracks so far.

Is this the first time the f-bomb has been used in a game?

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

What about that song in Crazy Taxi? F-bomb or something?

 

[Matlock]

Wow, great tracks so far.

Is this the first time the f-bomb has been used in a game?

Heavens no. First I can remember it being in a game would be Zork.

'course, the computer didn't understand the word when I used it.

 

[Schmo Florez]

damn the dynamic radio sounds kick ass! This will totally add to the immersion factor that the series has done so well. Here's hoping Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" will be in the game.

 

[ThirstyFly]

What about that song in Crazy Taxi? F-bomb or something?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.

 

[Infinitemadness]

Dammit, early 90s better bring be some Cherub Rock.

Yay on Rage!

 

[bishoptl]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

you know which OTHER song just might be on there, right Bishy.

**winks at bishop**

 

[jett]

Wow, great tracks so far.

Is this the first time the f-bomb has been used in a game?

Consoles-wise I believe Manhunt was the first. PC games...who the f-bomb knows.

 

[NotMSRP]

What music pieces are public/free domain? Classical music? Would have been nice if GTA:SA included all known free music pieces.

Did anybody else get it? This is a Dead Milkmen joke! When he talks about seeing his favorite cover band, Crystal Ship, in Bitchin' Camaro? They play a Doors show!

 

[dskillzhtown]

How many DVDs will this game be on? Can't fit all this stuff on just 1. No way.

2 words: Dual and Layer

Excellent

Yay for excitable Germans and House music!

 

[deadhorse32]

I'm so hype for this game it's not even funny
