Board 8 > Why don't they do this anymore? [GTA, Saints Row]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Been playing Saints Row the Third recently and something occurs to me...Something GTA3 related but not what you are thinking, it has to do with music.

Originally I played GTA3 on PS2, but eventually I got it for xbox so my brother could play it. Now when I was playing the xbox version, I was able to play the music I had on my xbox as a radio station in the game, I think I was able to do that in Vice City as well, but I don't remember. When playing GTA4, the option isn't there, if you want to listen to the music on your console you have to use the media player which overrides the game audio, same thing with Saints Row the Third.I like the fact that in SR3 you can make a "mixtape" of the tracks that are in game, but it isn't the same.

Anyway, why don't they still allow you to do that? If it it could be done on xbox, surely it could be done on 360.

They spend tons of money licensing the music. I guess they assume that they need people to listen to it.

You can do this on the PC versions of GTA:SA and GTA4

Saints Row the Third makes up for it for having the best ****ing radio stations in any of these games.

Seriously, 10 hours in and this game is top 10 material.

Aiming a plane into a group of thugs while the Venture Bros theme plays cannot be topped.

True, but I still want to know why the option isn't there, though shados nay be right.
