What beta/cut features would you have liked to see stay in any GTA gam

[Gtaman_92]

In all GTA games there are always features that simply don't make it into the final game wether it is due to time restraints are simply a change of thought. Which features would you have liked to see in any GTA games that did not make the cut? For me I would of liked for the Sea plane seen on the 1st trailer of GTA V to have been featured. I still don't know why R* would cut it.

[Pfister Comet]

Alcatraz prison in Sa

Skateboard in Sa

Hunter in V

 

Honestly though, every single cut content. There can Never be too much content..

[universetwisters]

Even though it was a hoax, I'd like to have seen Franklin killed in GTA 5 and replaced with Lamar.

[Payne Killer]

Everything that was cut in V, and should've kept it in the final build instead of being lazy.

Hammer in IV, Shovel, and Visible Body Armor.

[Fuzzknuckles]

I would have liked to see the Skateboard in San An, and Darkel's missions in III.

[Lowi]

Buying houses in GTA V.

[Vice City criminal]

Binco in GTA IV instead of the Russian Shop.

[Kalerney]

Even if it was not really a cut content : Liberty State in IV.

 

In San Andreas :

The ability to manage a casino

Animals

Radio stations only play in the region/city they are supposed to be broadcasted.

The ability to get drunk

Skateboard

 

In Vice City : Nothing, the final version is better than the beta (especially regarding the map).

 

In L.C.S : The ability to buy properties

 

In V.C.S : I don't regret anything from the beta, the final content is largely enough.

 

In GTA III : Darkel missions

 

In GTA V : Seriously R*, EVERY cut content would have been cool on the gold version !

[ROCKSTAR MANIC]

I believe San Andreas had the best cut content. its a shame what completed potential it could of had apart from what it has now.

[The Harwood Bitcher]

Trevor usa helmet, hunter and hydra ,axe (would go real nice with the "shinning "outfit of trevor and hockey masks) cut mission from michael where he robs a jet, for solomon, cut missions (sharmoota job, more strangers and freaks missions for franklin and michael) and the undershirt for franklin's jacket (the "option" to change it is still there,)

It looks alright, but then again I prefer open face helmets. All it needs are some groovy decals and boom - sexy

Everything that was cut in V, and should've kept it in the final build instead of being lazy.

How does removing something that's complete make R* lazy? It's a design decision.

Edited September 15, 2014 by TJGM

[TheFlareEntercounter]

The 150 weapons in San Andreas.

[The Harwood Bitcher]

Also i might add:

Nailgun vice city, jets and planes in gta 4, revolver in gta 4, gloves for niko and beta niko (he looked more cool like this) beta victor vance (looks worst but looks like victor from vice city) huskies in gta 5 and bullion in lcs (sounds badass to drive a car named bullion)

[KarimNTerr]

Here's a list of cut features I would've liked to see in GTA games:

GTAIII:

- Buskers. They would have given a more alive enviroment to Liberty City. However, I love how Liberty City feels in GTAIII.
- "Back to the Streets" by Tom Novy, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC and "Cary Me Off" by Conor and Jay were cut from the soundtrack.
- The fact that safehouses would gradually improve in their appearance as the player progressed and gained more money.
- The Butler, Curtly, Darkel and Tom Novy as characters. By the way, I understand the reasons behind their deletion.

GTA: Vice City:

- Mr. Moffat was a removed character from the game. Mr. Moffat and Tommy Vercetti knew each other from the past, he was meant to appear in a mission where Tommy Vercetti would help him to escape. Curiously, Mr. Moffat share the same surname as Sam and Dan Houser's mother, maybe that's one of the reasons behind his deletion.

- The AK-47 and the Grenade Launcher were cut. I think that they would have been a pleasent addition to the game.

- Various missions and phone conversations were removed from the game.
- Inside Track betting shop was removed.

GTA: San Andreas:

- Many, many missions ("Impounded", "Tanked Up", "Roadside Assistance", "The Truth Is Out There" and "Looking for Big Smoke") were deleted from the game, while other missions ("Doberman", "Photo Opportunity", "Beat Down on B Dup" and "Fish in a Barrel") have been heavily modified.
- There was an island in San Fierro Bay, located to the north of San Fierro, based on Alcatraz.
- Flash FM was mentioned in early reviews, it would have been great to listen to some 90's Pop hits.

GTA: Liberty City Stories:

- Phil Cassidy was supposed to have a much larger role.
- Various side-missions ("Assassination Contracts", "Firetruck Frenzy", "Massacres" and "Mobile Massacre!") were removed. However, the game already has a lot to offer.
- Various properties were meant to be purchasable.

GTA: Vice City Stories:

- Leo Teal was supposed to appear in the game, it would have been nice to know more about his background before the events of GTA: Vice City.
- By the way, not much has been changed from the Beta to the final version of the game except for some aesthetic aspects such as characters' clothes and appearances.

GTAIV:

- Some missions ("American Dad", "Jacob's Ladder", "American Dream" and "I and High") were cut.

- Barber shops were meant to apperar in the game.
- Many songs were cut from the soundtrack:

- VHS or Beta - Burn It All Down
- Humble Pie - Cocaine
- Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
- MOP - Downtown Swinga '96
- MOP - How About Some Hardcore?
- Bob Marley & The Wailers - Get Up, Stand Up
- UNKLE ft. Josh Homme - Restless
- Res - They Say Vision
- The Go! Team - Junior Kirkstart
- Fat Joe - Sh*t Is Real
- Run-DMC - Sucker MCs
- Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot
- System of a Down - BYOB

- The Virgins - One Week of Danger

- Celebration - Fly the Fly (Holy F*ck Remix)

- Datarock - Computer Camp Love

- Greenskeepers - Lotion

- Alicia Bridges - I Love the Nightlife (Disco Round)

- Chic - My Forbidden Lover

- Gloria Gaynor - Never Can Say Goodbye

- GQ - Disco Nights (Rock-Freak)

- Hamilton Bohannon - Let's Start the Dance

- Michael Zager Band - Let's All Chant

- Peaches & Herb - Funtime

- The O'Jays - I Love Music

- Vicki Sue Robinson - Turn the Beat Around

- Louis La Roche - Love

- Cassie - Me & U

 

GTA: The Lost and Damned:

- Johnny Klebitz had 2 outfits, the one from GTAIV and the one he wears in GTA: The Lost and Damned.
- Girlfriends for Johnny Klebitz to date were meant to appear in the game.

GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony:

- The HVY Brickade armored van.
- Just as GTA: Vice City Stories not much has been changed from the Beta to the final version of the game except for some aesthetic aspects such as character's clothes and appearances, plus weapons.

GTAV:

- Many side-missions and activities have been removed, including: "Vigilante", "Drug Dealing", "Pimping", "Import/Export", "Burglary", some "Random Events"; Basketball, Air Hockey, Pool, Bowling, Weightlifting, and more.
- Princess Robot Bubblegum. Althought this anime has been removed, it still appears in the credits of GTAV: The Manual, and in the ending credits of the game itself.
- Many, many songs were cut from the soundtrack: http://gtaforums.com/topic/656909-cut-songs-from-gta-vs-soundtrack/ (Credit to NightSpectre).

The GTA Series:

- Cut songs from soundtracks.
- Various vehicles being removed.
- Deleted features due to Hardware limitations.

[Trillest]

Wait, there was supposed to be an AC/DC song on GTA III's soundtrack? Is there a source for this?

[Nico]

There was a trailer featuring that song. I can't find it at the moment.

 

EDIT: Found the trailer, but due to copyright issues it has no sound, sadly. This trailer had that AC/DC song, Push it to the Limit and another one I can't remember.

Back on topic, I agree on everything what toxluv said, and I would add some things.

 

GTA III

-Staunton had street performers who played music much like the saxophone guy in IV.

-The original Panto, which was a Fiat based car.

-Blue paintjobs on police cars. R* confirmed that the color change wasn't due to 9/11.

 

GTA: VC

-All the removed weapons. From the big ones (Steyr Aug, land mine, MP5K) to those who seemed to be useless like the taser, the stapler or the nail gun.

-The original third runway of the Escobar International Airport. That curved one where Tommy's plane lands looks horrible and makes no sense. Seems like they added Fort Baxter very late in the development.

 

 

GTA: SA

-Almost every strip club had a second floor. They are present in the blue hell of the game but remain unused.

 

GTA IV

Was meant to have a ferry system.

Edited September 16, 2014 by Nicolas Chiribelo

[Femme Fatale]

Darkel, all of the cut stuff in San Andreas, Revolver and songs in GTA 4

[donnits]

All the activities that were cut from V.

The helmet hair and buzzcut hairstyles, as well as the gloves in IV.

Alcatraz above San Fierro would have been great and Big Bear had a larger role in SA, i would've liked to see that.

[Undyne]

Niko's fingerless gloves.

[cj2000]

 

In Vice City : Nothing, the final version is better than the beta (especially regarding the map).

In VC a lot of weapons were cut, also some vehicles, so it´s not always better than the beta.
