MythAlex Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Since the game uses a radial / circle menu for the radio stations, I wonder if Rockstar will add Independence FM (= custom user tracks) to it. But this would mean making the radio stations closer to each other in order to have 1 more station added. Or the radio stations icons would get smaller. I really don't know if Rockstar will make this. I am kinda pessimistic. What's your opinion?

Vice City criminal Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I hope so. I'm sick of the Radio stations in this game. icecoldkilla1467 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/764839-will-we-get-independence-fm-back/#findComment-1066904327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanBurnsRed Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Rockstar likes to keep their traditions of late PC releases and custom radio stations in their GTA titles, so I would say with out a doubt yes it will make a return.

ChumCrumpet Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's been in every other game so far. I don't know why it wouldn't be in this one. I know it's not announced yet, but by going on previous installments, yeah I imagine it would.

RedIndianRobin Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's doubtful whether it'll be there or not. I'm surprised R* did not even mention about this thing.

Eurotrash Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It probably will be. But who needs it, just mute the game music and listen to RadioTunes in the background.

Kampret Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 As of now, there's no R* GTA PC title that has no custom radio station. It's like a tradition, it'll be there without a doubt.

Dock Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They'll figure out a way, in any case what do you lose if they make the radio station icons smaller, amirite? And it's not much to discuss about by them really, it's pretty much an obvious addition that's been present in every GTA title on PC, so don't sweat it.

Earleys Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It will probably be added, and if not then it could still be a mod. But I think every GTA that came to PC (at least since GTA III) had this, so it would be kinda dumb if GTA V won't have it.

donnits Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think the radio icons will just get smaller and yes, Independence will return. Or at least i hope so.

utack Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Might be OT, but why did they not add it on consoles? USB drive with music, done. Should be really easy.

Tanto Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I voted not sure because they haven't said anything about it yet but I would love to have voted a definite yes. Either way I'm hoping we do get it. I don't know of any console game that let you use your own music in-game. Midnight club: LA is one of the only console games I know of that allowed you to use your own music but you had to choose between music or in game sound effects so it was pretty pointless.

In fact doing so, it could mean an app on the characters smartphones. Yeah just my thinking. You could tune into Independence FM for a random selection of music, with adverts and a DJ, or you could choose the individual songs via "Snotify" on your smartphone.

icecoldkilla1467 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 i really hope so although gta v has alot of good songs that got way better in the next gen some of them i still find repative and i dont like to hear those same songs again again like i loved to in all the previous gta's so my custom 90s/80s/70s classic rock 80s and 90s pop and some 80s heavy metal would make it better and hopefully ill play this game more with that Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/764839-will-we-get-independence-fm-back/#findComment-1066916631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe1606 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Previous GTA Titles didn't had Independence FM on consoles either. It's a PC only thingy. Gta trilogy on xbox got this option ( no Independence fm for sure , but San Andreas had the option to mix the songs with commercials, if I remember correctly . The name Independence fm is also featured for the custom radio station on the apple store version of Chinatown wars. Midnight club: LA is one of the only console games I know of that allowed you to use your own music but you had to choose between music or in game sound effects so it was pretty pointless. Last gen consoles allowed us to play our songs while playing . On X360, the in-game music will turn off by itself and the console only keep the sound effects on . It was more a console than a game feature . For Independence in V , I hope R* make something a little bit audacious . Like allowing us to upload playlist file on dropbox or whatever so our GTAO buddies can listen to our mix while in our car .

JB1982 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I imagine there'll be some form of this featured in V on PC. Whether it's a proper radio station as it was in IV obviously remains to be seen but I have no doubt that there will be a custom music track option.

Probably . I didn't read at the moment but the idea that Rockstar should allow us to create the radio's mix via our Spotify playlist is a better idea ( easier for R* and the players ) . Well, that is just fantasy , but we'll sure have a nice radio station made with the same attention to details than the others . Independence fm in IV got a cool dj and humourous jingles .

xeth004 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's been in every other game so far. I don't know why it wouldn't be in this one. GTA Online could be a reason against it. So far that was the only thing that caused all the f**k-ups in Rockstar's tradition and schedule regarding V. So yeah, as long as they are quite about custom tracks (and they are), I'll wait with the applause.
