Did you know that there are Grand Theft Auto V missions you haven’t played? Even if you’ve hit 100% completion on the game, there are still a few heists that you’ve never played. That’s because Rockstar Games cut them from the game before release. Sometimes it’s a budget or hardware issue, other times It’s because the gameplay didn’t work.
While we may never be able to play these games, thanks to GTA 5 actor Ned Luke, we have a better sense of what they would’ve looked like. Speaking to a crowd at Sci-Fi Valley Con 2024, Luke and his GTA 5 costar Shawn Fonteno were asked about the lost GTA 5 missions.
“I can’t remember bro. It was just a lot of stuff that we filmed,” Fonteno said. “Yeah, a lot of stuff,” Luke added.
“There’s some crazy missions that if it doesn’t make the game, it’s generally because the gameplay didn’t work,” Luke continued. “I had a thing where there was an orgy with octogenarians, which was really funny. Oh my god, that was so funny. And then we had the Sharmoota episode, where Steven and I went and we were casing Madrazo’s house, or whoever, and the horse, and we were supposed to steal it, and we were clowns, and we acted like a gay couple, and it was funny stuff that didn’t make the game. I was so bummed out when we didn’t do it.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m curious about the octogenarian orgy. Who knows, maybe we’ll get something like that in GTA 6.
