Before the release of Grand Theft Auto V, there were features that were removed from the final product. These changes range from deleted vehicles and player skins to the removal of entire characters and mission strands.
Characters[]
- According to the Rush Casting Call, a lot of characters' names in Grand Theft Auto V were changed. The names mentioned were[1][2]:
- Trevor Philips - Simon
- Michael De Santa - Albert De Silva
- Steve Haines - Mitch Hayes
- Andreas Sanchez - Miguel Gonzalez
- Wade Hebert - Clyde
- Brother Adrian - Brother Adam
- Barry - Eddie
- Jimmy De Santa - Kevin De Silva
- Simeon Yetarian - Harut Vartanyan
- Ron Jakowski - Nervous Jerry
- Dave Norton - Calvin North
- Lester Crest - Jerry Cole
- Tao Cheng - Tae Wong
- Cheng's translator - Tae's Translator
- In the gameplay trailer, Jordan was playing tennis against Michael, but she was replaced by Rae instead.
- In the game files, Michael is named Michael De Santo in police scanner audio files.[3]
- Mark Fostenburg was originally named Glen Stanky.[4]
- Dexie was originally named Mr Muffy Cakes.[5]
Clothing[]
- In Franklin's trailer, Denise Clinton can be seen having a different appearance with a different hairstyle, glasses and a green hoodie representing the Families but this was changed before the game's release.
- In The Long Stretch, Lamar Davis originally wore his green cap backwards, and his T-shirt had a logo of San Andreas Magnetics on it as seen in Franklin's trailer and some GTA Online missions.
- In Prologue, Trevor's and Brad's Balaclava had a different design.
- Franklin Clinton was meant to wear a helmet during the Dom missions, and was able to wear different undershirts.
- In Did Somebody Say Yoga?, Amanda wore a white robe and towel on her head as if she got out of the shower.
- Ron Jakowski wore a different outfit in the second trailer.
- In the Loud approach for The Jewel Store Job, Michael and the crew members originally wore balaclavas.
- In Michael's trailer, Jimmy De Santa can be seen in Daddy's Little Girl wearing a red cap and striped shirt.
- Also in Michael's trailer, Tahir Javan appears totally different than his final version.
- In The Paleto Score, the crew originally wore masks along with their Ballistic Equipment rather than helmets. This can be seen in the Social Club image of the mission[6] and in the unused gear intended for Franklin[7].
- At one point during the game's development, Michael had an LSPD uniform.
- In Artworks, Franklin can be seen wearing earrings in only his left ear.
Missions[]
Main article: Beta Missions in GTA V
Various mission changes were made to the game before its initial release. It appears that while some missions were removed entirely, renamed or simply edited for the sake of better gameplay and an overall better storyline, some changes were made only during development for the sake of screenshots and trailer previews, particularly the configuration of pedestrians and major characters in cutscenes and the position of certain props and vehicles to ensure the video captured the most detail out of missions. For the sake of feasibility, all differences are listed as potential changes.
Animals[]
- Chop originally wore just a plain brown collar (as seen in screenshots and trailers).
- There were more dog breeds (e.g. Huskies, files can be found). These were postponed until the enhanced version.
- Horses were meant to appear in the game, most likely would have been seen at the Vinewood Racetrack, Ranch or Farms, (removed for unknown reasons, as files "left over" could have been similar to Red Dead Redemption).
Map[]
An early version of the game's map can be found in the map, titled as a debug map. The map appears to be a relatively late version of the game's map in terms of development, given much of the map is similar, if not identical to the final game's map. It can be noted that for some reason, the Alamo Sea is not colour coded, as well as parts of the rivers connecting to it in the final game. This is likely a simple paste error and not a case of the location not existing in the game, given some areas of these locations can be seen in the first trailer of the game, including the Los Santos Storm Drain, which also lacks colour on the debug map.
As well as water errors on the debug map, it is apparent that several roads around the map are listed but are not marked on the map in the final game, but still exist, including roads inside Fort Zancudo and around the Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
While much of the game's map remains similar, clues around the world still suggest differences during development, including road signs.
Beta Map
According to the debug map, ignoring the blatant mistakes with regards to water;
- Several roads around Great Chaparral were changed.
- The Zancudo River was wider and had fewer islands.
- The horizontal direction of Zancudo Road traveled slightly further west before merging with Route 68.
- The road from Route 68 to Bolingbroke Penitentiary took a slightly different approach towards the prison.
- The island LSIA and La Puerta are situated on was significantly larger.
- Mirror Park had a third cul-de-sac stretching out as an extension of East Mirror Drive.
- Murrieta Oil Field had significantly more dirt trails.
- North Point did not exist in the beta.
Around the map, during missions, within game trailers, and hints within the game's files, suggest other changes were made to the map itself:
- The stretch of Milton Road to Didion Drive was formerly Vine Drive. Vine Drive can be referred to on numerous road signs in-game on Marlowe Drive in Vinewood Hills, Lenny Avery's website and GTA V's physical map itself.[citation/verification needed]
- Route 68 was originally going to be named Route 69.[citation/verification needed]
- Martin Madrazo's mansion in Vinewood Hills does have an interior, however it is of low quality and inaccessible. It has two floors. In the first trailer, the beta version seemed more detailed and it looked like it would have been accessible to the player.
- Similarly, the Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office has an interior, however it is also of low quality and inaccessible.
- The interior can still be entered during Business Battle - Police Station in Grand Theft Auto Online. It was not changed.
- Similarly, the Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office has an interior, however it is also of low quality and inaccessible.
Vespucci Beach in the beta. Note the large amount of trees.
- There were more pedestrians and palm trees around Vespucci Beach which were removed possibly due to the limited RAM of the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
- La Puerta and La Puerta Freeway were planned to be named Los Puerta and Los Puerta Freeway, but were renamed because of the incorrect translation from Spanish.
- Road signs mentioning Los Puerta can still be found in Elysian Island.
- Sandy Shores Airfield was going to be named "Alamo Sea Airfield". This is referenced in several missions and radio advertisements and news reports, including during Caida Libre.
- According to the police scanner audio files the beta name for Fort Zancudo was "Kazansky Air Force Base".
- The Daily Globe newspaper circulated in-game mentions an area called Beachside. This was possibly the beta name for Del Perro or an area of Vespucci.
Jonathan Gwyn's Screenshots[]
Jonathan Gwyn is a 2D/3D game artist who claims to have worked as Senior Environment Artist for the countryside areas in Grand Theft Auto V.[citation/verification needed] On his website, he posted early development screenshots of the game. Most of the screenshots were taken before the prop placements, like rocks and trees, and had no skydome. The game had a GTA IV-style rounded minimap, before it was replaced by a rectangular one.
Weapons[]
So far, this is the list of the weapons removed or changed during development, though they could be released as DLC in the future:
- The Shovel - HUD Icon
- The Wrench (as seen in the mission By the Book; later added in GTA Online as part of the Bikers update) - HUD Icon
- The Fire Extinguisher - HUD Icon
- The Fire Axe - HUD Icon
- The Lasso - HUD Icon
- The Heavy Rifle, a SCAR-based assault rifle, probably being replaced by the Carbine Rifle. File:HeavyRifle-GTAV-HUD.png - HUD Icon
- The Assault Sniper, an M110-based sniper rifle.File:AssaultSniper-GTAV-HUD.png
- The Programmable AR, an XM25-based airburst grenade launcher. File:ProgrammableAR-GTAV-HUD.png
- The Assault MG, an HK21-based light machine gun.File:AssaultMG-GTAV-HUD.png
- Some weapons had the green tint by default.
- Some weapons had an older, more realistic wood-cast model.
- The Pistol had a darker skin.
- Laser sights were cut.[8]
- The RPG originally had a grip attachment as indicated by the BradyGames guide.
Vehicles[]
Main article: Beta Vehicles in GTA V
Many vehicles were cut from the game, identified in various screenshots, audio files and game data files. Among those cut are the Hunter which only later returns for the enhanced version of the game, the Admiral, Esperanto, Presidente, Police Fugitive, a Combine Harvester, a military Patriot named the Squaddie, the original Feltzer, Bobcat and Comet, and, if counted as a vehicle, Horses, as they were intended to be rideable like vehicles. Only a few cut vehicles can actually be restored, namely an FIB Frogger, a Ramp-door Mule (both of which only later appear in GTA Online) and two towable farm trailers, the Baletrailer and Graintrailer.
Various vehicles cut from the game have returned throughout GTA Online content updates. The jet pack is mentioned various times in the game's code and was eventually added as part of the The Doomsday Heist update. The Hydra was added as part of the Heists update, the Hunter added as part of the Smuggler's Run update, and the Squaddie as part of The Cayo Perico Heist update.
As well as entirely cut vehicles, many changes were made to vehicles that are still in the final game. Many of these changes are small but very noticeable, such as colour scheme changes to the Taco Van, new rims for cars such as the Comet and Baller, changes to siren and police light layouts on various emergency vehicles, cut vehicle modifications on the Police Cruiser, Clown Van and Rapid GT convertible. Some of these can be restored as they remain in the game's files, while others cannot without heavily modifying the game.
Some vehicles were replaced with others. The Police Maverick assumed the design of the first generation Maverick as it did in GTA IV, with an updated LSPD livery, as seen during the first trailer, but was quickly changed to an updated "second generation" design that the helicopter now assumes. LSPD also used the original Police Cruiser assuming its "first generation" design from GTA IV, before being updated to a new "second generation" design. The first generation model still appears as a civilian vehicle under the name Stanier.
Vehicle's names were also changed before the game's release. Some name changes are relatively minor, such as the Dozer originally being named the "Bulldozer", the Dashound as "Coach" and Dodo as "Seaplane". Some changed entirely; the Gresley as "Detonator", the Roosevelt as "B-type", the Insurgent as "Armordillo", Valkyrie as "Napalm" and Adder as "Venom".
Other minor changes include how vehicles spawn. In various trailers, vehicles that only appear during specific missions appear in regular traffic, such as the Fame or Shame Trailer during Franklin's trailer, the Cognoscenti Cabrio and Bodhi in the first game trailer. Game code also reveals the Cheetah was originally intended to spawn in regular traffic, and the Annihilator was to serve as a NOOSE operative vehicle that spawned during higher wanted levels.
Sound Effects[]
HUD[]
Early minimap versions, as seen on Jonathan Gwyn's website.
Early version of the UI. (Steven Walsh's website)
- Michael, Franklin and Trevor originally had different mission completion themes, and of variety, similar to that in GTA IV. These remain in the audio files.
- The radio dial icons for Radio Los Santos, Soulwax FM and West Coast Classics were originally different from the final version.
- Originally the pause menu had pictures of areas of Los Santos and Blaine County in the background, similar to the pause menu backgrounds in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. These background images were made by the Lead Graphic Artist Steven Walsh.
Ambiance[]
- Various unused alarm sounds exist in the files.
- Among ambient distant vehicle audio sounds, various vehicle names are spelled incorrectly, or do not correspond to their actual in-game engine sound, suggesting changes were made to vehicles during development:
- "Banchee"
- "Carbonizare"
- "Cheeta"
- "Commet"
- "Deamon"
- Khamelion, using an internal combustion engine sound similar to the Entity XF rather than electrical sound.
- "Rapid"
Vehicles[]
- The Freight Train appeared to have different, much longer horns. These remain in the audio files.
- The original GTA IV sirens for police vehicles remain in the audio files, however are unused.
- The Police Maverick's camera sound effects were changed before release. The original sound effects remain in the files.
- The original GTA IV Fire Truck horn remains in the audio files but is unused.
Miscellaneous[]
- Sound effects for Air Hockey remain unused in the files.
- Several icons of the three mobile phones remain unused in the files.[9]
Soundtrack[]
Radio Stations[]
Pre-Millennium Radio and Santos Surf stations were cut from the final version. According to some users [citation/verification needed], there were many songs removed from the game. It is suspected that there might have been more songs cut from the soundtrack than featured in the actual game. In February 2018, many more cut songs were discovered on a devkit featuring a beta build of GTA V.[10] A complete list can be found here:

Official Soundtrack[]
- The "Epsilon" theme was originally much more sinister and eerie, as indicated by various unused Epsilon audio files in the game files. These tracks use the same melody but with more depressive tones.
Miscellaneous[]
The beta parachute in GTA V, with TBOGT's color scheme.
- The Parachute had the same color scheme as it did in The Ballad of Gay Tony according to the screenshot.
- The ability to buy properties on the internet was cut and moved to Grand Theft Auto Online. Dialogue exists in the games files mentioning, and it is also mentioned in the game's gameplay trailer.[27]
- Female officers were meant to patrol with male officers, however they can only be seen at stations.
- In a screenshot, Franklin can be seen wielding a Pistol .50 with one hand. But, in the final version of the game, he wields all pistols with two hands. It is likely this animation was only to appear in a cutscene of some sort or it was just made for the image.[28]
- In another screenshot, Franklin can be seen walking away from Families members being arrested by the police, although no such event is seen in-game.[29]
- In the second trailer, a silver 9F is seen parked in Michael's driveway, in the same spot where Tracy's Issi would spawn from time to time.
- Although, it was most likely Tracey's since the Tailgater is seen twice in the same trailer - Jimmy and Michael talking in the car (Did Somebody Say Yoga?) and behind the Frogger before the end of the trailer (beta Three's Company).
- The HUD of car statistics in Los Santos Customs was different, as seen in the game's gameplay trailer.[30]
- Cheetah and Chastity have phone numbers, which were somewhat removed from the final version of the game. They can still be called but have no dialogue.
- Players could get a six star wanted level like in previous games. Although this was removed, it is still referenced in the game files. [31]
- Updates and expansions for Story Mode were first announced in December 2013[32]. They were mentioned again in April 2014 during the GTA Online spring updates period.[33] On October 23, 2017, the director of design at Rockstar, Imran Sarwar, stated that GTA V will not be receiving story mode expansions, despite their intentions to release it in 2014. [34]
- On November 12, 2012 Rockstar Games posted a tweet that GTA V could have Turkish language support; the tweet was then deleted a few days later. [35]
- A port for the Wii U platform was originally planned.[36]
