Rockstar has noted that the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto V will be the biggest one yet.
Rockstar’s Ivan Pavlovich told the following to Rolling Stone:
We have 15 radio stations, two talk radio stations, 240 licensed songs, and somewhere in the proximity of 20 movies worth of score. It’s the largest soundtrack that we’ve done, and the largest score that we’ve done.
For this game, which is set in our version of modern day Los Angeles, what was important for us was to capture that feeling of L.A. and California. We approached the radio stations as the musical soundscape [you experience] as you fly into L.A. One of the things we’ve never done in a GTA game before is a pop station; exploring that made so much sense in the context of L.A.
It’s amazing that Grand Theft Auto V packs 15 radio stations, plus a score as well. If the score is the length of 20 movies, we can be sure that the entire game will offer games hours and hours of great gameplay to boot.
Grand Theft Auto V will be out from September 17th for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
