Especially for a AAA release, licensing music seems like little to be gained. Music games (eg Rockband), I can understand. People want to play music they know.

Music games (eg Rockband), I can understand. People want to play music they know. There are very few musical tie-ins in a video game that seemingly make the difference.
- jen20 3y agoGTA Vice City is one where I can think of where the 80s soundtrack makes the game!
- ChoGGi 3y agoI always found it odd how VC and SA had much more recognizable licensed music, while 4/5 went with less known stuff. Or maybe I'm getting old :)
- Macha 3y agoI think it's also why games with licensed vehicles are way stricter on how they're presented now (no damage models, etc.). As the big brands became more away of video games as a big thing, they held closer control and pricing compared to it being "ehhh, whatever" remnant income
