Rockstar still remained mum as to GTAV or when we would see the game next so as of now we’re still out of luck in that regard. However, interesting GTAV tidbit was revealed this morning via the Sirius XM satellite radio show Opie & Anthony. Those who closely follow Rockstar Games should know that the studios’s go-to audio extraordinaire Lazlow is friendly with the O&A staff, thus a lot of the guys from the show do voice-overs in games ranging from GTA to Bully. This morning it was mentioned that O&A co-host Anthony Cumia was visiting Rockstar to record some audio for a game. While it was never explicitly said what game Anthony was recording for, it was allued that it was indeed GTAV.

The reason this news is kind of important is because it gives us a clue that the game could be in the home stretch development wise as supplementary audio, usually for the radio stations and TV commercials, is recorded near the end of the dev cycle. I don’t think GTAV will come out this year like some “esteemed” industry analysts tend to believe, but the possible March/April 2013 release window is looking to be more of a sure thing at this point. Btw, it should be noted that Anthony Cumia sang the awesome song for Pisswasser in GTAIV. So will we receive another wonderful ballad poking fun at consumerism in GTAV?

TheRedBull:
"Just a translation of the most important part for the non-German speaking forum members:
Satellite radio broadcaster Sirius XM claims they are working at Rockstar studios, recording for a game, which name is not to be disclosed. Seems fairly obvious, that this ominous game is GTA:V, as R* is currently not working on any other game."

r4in:
"For all of you who don't speak German:
This article is about moderators of Sirius XM who said in their show that they are taking records for Rockstar in their studios for a game. But they didn't want to say which game. I think they mean Lazlow Jones but I am not quite sure about this.
Furthermore I know this gaming site, they are legit in my opinion (+well-known, so no chance that they publish fake news)
/edit: The fact that they just started recording some voices for the radio implies that the game is too far away to release the game in 2012. I know that they record these things mostly when the game is in final stadium but I'm pessimistic towards a October release. "

thanx Chico Vialpando for finding this

I'm not surprised by this, to break it down in less fancy jargon, Opie & Anthony are recording some stuff for Rockstar.

Now, as most long time followers know, O&A are very good friends with Lazlow and they've had cameos on the GTA Radio before in the past as various characters and even done voice work for Red Dead Redemption.

EDIT: Also, O&A are not Moderators of XM Radio, haha, they just have a channel where they do their show and other stuff.

EDIT 2: They may as well post an article about Lazlow being in GTA V to.

Great find..

[Xcommunicated]

It was pretty much a given O&A would be doing some voice work for V. It'd make my day to find out they had Louis CK doing some stuff for V as well. I'd also like to see Jim Norton and Rick Shapiro have parts again. IV's talk radio was some great stuff with comedians like these involved, so V's radio surely won't disappoint.

I'm wondering how my post got here haha.

Also I'm curious about these voice acting records. Does someone know - maybe from previous GTA's - when they exactly start recording things for the radio?

[huevos_benedicto_180]

Huh, good stuff.

[poklane]

Srry if I'm mistaken, I'm almost sleeping. So Rockstar is putting songs and stuff in the game for V? I think that's one of the final things to do.

[Spider-Vice]

Depending on how they do things, yes audio is sometimes one of the last things in a game, bugtesting could be going at the same time they put in the radio stations.

[poklane]

OMGZ PEOPLE IF THIS IT TRUE OCTOBER IS STILL POSSIBLE.
I find it a mirracle this hasn't been posted yet.

Wish I could see what songs they're adding. Please o please no sh*tty mainstream music. Rockstar has good taste though, so I can't see that happening.

[ayyob]

well, it's a great news to know what the current development the game are now.

No, it's about moderators of Sirius XM who said in their show that they are taking records for Rockstar in their studios for a game. They were basically responsible for talking in the radio in previous GTA's.

Highly likely GTA V, since it is the only title they are officially working on now.

Actually I would like to see some mainstream music! For instance in GTA IV there was Ne-Yo and in Episodes of Liberty City there was a remix with Akon. Though it would be kind of "not GTA-like" to have too much of these mainstream songs, I agree with that.

Not sure what to make of this.

We've had a lot of reports in the past month of so and so recording something for R*.

I would imagine if they are on this stage, it's quite close to done. It doesn't make sense to focus on the audio aspect of the game if you're too busy devving the game world and creating missions etc. Audio in the form of radio and music would probably be among the last things they put in. It just seems logical to me that way, that it wouldn't be a major focus until the very end.

Or they could have a seperate team working on it while the main team continues devving; so they can just plop it in when they are ready.

Yeah that would all be great, I'm just disappointed Patrice O'neal won't be doing anything for it like he did for iv. This doesn't really bring anything new to the table regarding a release date unless anyone knows how far into production the radio parts are done.

[UncleVlad]

Wow, good news. The radio is always the finishing touch on GTA games.

He passed away. You probably already knew.

Is that right? How do you know this? And if you do know this, how do you know the cycle has not evolved AT ALL in the four years since the last GTA game?

Not trying to throw cold water, I want the game to come out as much as the next guy (and think it will in TTWO's fiscal 2013), but let's pace ourselves a little here.

I wouldn't go that far, december is still my guess.
