Also, some soundtrack details.

Grand Theft Auto 5 features 15 radio stations, two talk radio stations, 240 licensed songs, and "somewhere in the proximity of 20 movies worth of score", according to Rockstar's soundtrack supervisor, Ivan Pavlovich.

"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," he said.

"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."

Pavlovich continued to namedrop a selection of the many artists and DJs featured on the soundtrack, which includes Stephen Pope and Nate Williams from Wavves; Camilo Lara from the Mexican Institute of Sound; DJ Pooh, who hosts a West Coast Classics station; Jesco White, "of the [documentary] The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia"; Pam Grier; Bootsy Collins; Kenny Loggins.

Flying Lotus and Odd Future's Tyler The Creator have collaborated on an original song for the game.

Pavlovich said: "There is an original song made for the game [by them]. What Steve [Ellison, aka Flying Lotus] did so well was that he reached out to all of his artist friends and asked them to send him music.

"You'll find some classics on his station, but a lot of the station is based on unreleased new material, created either by Steve himself or friends of his who submitted music to him for this project. Steve's a huge gamer, so I think this was as exciting for him as it was for us to work together."

The game's score, meanwhile, is the work of a combined effort between Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson, who scored Red Dead Redemption and part of L.A. Noire, Alchemist and Oh No.

"Although each of these composers is used to define a character or an environment, what's been interesting about this process is that it's been the first fully collaborative score that we've done."
