Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V, a game that stirred up more controversy, made the PETA (and people who just don't like their kids running over coyotes) mad.

Unused Audio
Annihilator



Hunter



Horse-related audio



There is a bunch of audio that never made it to the final game, but the Hunter was actually seen in a trailer for The Simian (before the MeltDown movie). Horses are a completely new thing that comes from Red Dead Redemption and is rumored to be from a cut heist. They would come in various colors, but the last traces of these are unused police scanner quotes. There is even audio for the Annihilator, but that helicopter is only available in GTA Online and can be obtained in singleplayer only by save editing. The police scanner isn't normally heard in Online.

Unused Textures
A ton of textures which makes the LCPD police computer from Grand Theft Auto IV is here for some reason. When you look in the interior of the Police Interceptor and even the civilian Stanier, you can see a low-res LCPD police computer that's black and white. It could mean that the Police Computer was either scrapped early in development, or might appear in a future DLC. There is even more leftover GTA4 HUD in Hudold.xtd, there's textures for the radar, thumbs down, dropping a grenade, etc. And there's some shapes colored red and without a transparent BG in graphics_pc.xtd, which seems to be just test textures. In the same texture file is a circle, hexagon, and octagon.



Build Changelog
Inside the game's common.rpf, there is a file called builds.xml that shows a lot of builds, with the earliest dating back to 2009, a year after GTA IV was released. This also mentions the heavily demanded PC and PlayStation 4 (codenamed "Orbis") versions a bunch of times, which in here seems to be only for the developers.

Oddities
Using a save editor, your character will unlock every single contact in the game's files. You can even get some storyline related contacts, unused ones, and some from GTA Online. There's even a test contact named Dummy_1 that can't be connected to.



The trailer from Mr. Phillips is actually a car that can be spawned in your hangar with a save editor. It's missing the rear for some strange reason.

Unused Text
TXDCut.ide is STILL leftover from GTA4. Really, it's from GTA San Andreas, and it's disturbing to see this STILL in the game's common.rpf. TXDCut.ide simply redirected the cutscene cars textures to the non-cutscene version cars, like the Cutscene Greenwood uses the non-cs greenwood's texture.

Regional Differences
In Japan, some scenes of the game had to be cut out. This includes the Torture Scene, the scene where Trevor pulls his pants down, him having sex with Ashley, and the celebs having sex (instead they have a peaceful conversation).
