Don't be an idiot. If Rockstar released a new Midnight Club, it would have five cars and two tracks. If you wanted more, you could buy cars at $20/car, or tracks at $50/track. Just let Midnight Club rest in piece while we still can remember it as something other than microtransaction filled garbage.
Development for Midnight club LA Rockstar was rumored of pushing their employees to hard to meet deadlines. Which is why we havent see a new Midnight Club since 2008. I dont see Rockstar making a new midnight club game since they are still milking the shit out of GTAO and completely abandoning RDR and RDO
There have been rides that would be awesome to be pimped out, as well as some old-school ones that the games of those days missed, e.g., the Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer (both the old-school, as well as the new-school, versions of those vehicles), almost anything from TVR, the Equus Bass 770, the Equus Throwback, the Callaway/Chevrolet C4 Sledgehammer Corvette (it held a speed record until around the time that these games were released, and that was from a car that was from the 1980s), the Pontiac Tojan, the Fox Body Ford Mustang/Second Generation (USA/Canada) Mercury Capri, the 1960s Chevrolet Bel Air, the 1969 Chevrolet Biscayne, the entire First Generation NOVA nomenclature (Chevrolet Nova, Pontiac (Canada) Acadian/Acadian, Pontiac Ventura, the First Generation Pontiac Phoenix, the Buick Apollo, and the First Generation Oldsmobile Omega), the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser (which was such an underrated, understated, and underestimated ride in Driver: San Francisco), the International Harvester Travelall, the Ford Excursion, the Cadillac Escalade ESV/GMC Yukon XL/Chevrolet Suburban, the 1970s to early 1990s Chevrolet/GMC Suburban, the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Demon, the Trans Am Worldwide Trans Am (think of a modern Chevrolet Camaro, but with Pontiac cues, and a bit more power than most Chevrolet Camaro models), the Hennessey Exorcist, the Hennessey Resurrection, the Chevrolet Yenko/SC Stage II Camaro, the 2019 Chevrolet eCOPO Camaro, I honestly could go on and on with vehicles that would fit into a new game in the series.
Mannie fresh's Big was so hype. "Push that button microwave oven" bars lol. one of things that I liked about this game that it has pedestrians surprisingly nobody got hurt and everyone jumped out of the way in time but it was great it really made the world feel alive
@@adventsociety5382 , technically, you could, though it leaves no blood or hurt people (it IS a game that has tweens for a base recommended age, you know, but I never cared for the CCCP, er, ESRB, and their hypocrisy anyway), but it has to be adjusted in the Settings...also, you can remove the pedestrians as well.
To me it's the pinnacle of open world racing games!, Super deep customization on everything on the vehicle,Four cities to race especially on the dub edition remix can I ask anything more...........
This game Burnout 3 and Most Wanted were my childhood when it came to racing games. Your enthusiasm really resonated with me, this was a truly great game. I actually have bought it three times over the years. The first was a gift and the second one I bought a couple of years later because as a kid I scratched the first disk. The third time I bought it was about 10 years ago, from PSN on PS3. This game deserved it. In 2019 I 100% the storyline for the first time on my original PS2. I can't describe the feelings I felt that day. A dream of a young me came true.
nothing better than going back to an old game and beating it huh? specially if you didn't beat it the first time, last time i did that i played halo combat evolved, i beat it so fast i didn't even get to fully enjoy it because i was rushing through it, since i play mostly fps games and am better than when i was 12 hahah, need for speed underground 2 is a great game to finish as well not gonna lie
You just had to be there. Sure you can play the game now, but having and playing it during that time was something special. Best racing game hands down. Such great memories. I miss the 00s.
There is a very specific feeling which is exclusive to this game. You're down to a final club race which you've been grinding for hours because of how insanely hard it is. The race starts. You're blasting off at blinding speeds, drifting around highways, not knowing what was coming around the corner, and not caring either. Because you just need to finish the race. The exhiliration of needing to go faster because the other racers are right on your tail, no matter what you do. Even though you know the race layout like the back of your hand, you're hyper-focused because the map has no boundries; one misplaced turned and it's all over. Finally, after manuvering winding roads, slippery opponents, and a swarm of oncoming traffic, you see the red blip on your mini map. There it is. The red flare. You go through. The controller drops. You slunk back as the post-race stats roll in. The adrenaline runs thtough your veins like it'll never stop. After every thing is done, you just want to cruise around and bask in your victory. Yeah, it's a really specific feeling only those who've played the game can understand.
It was so challegening to the point where opponents constantly had the same final race time as you sometimes, it was all about smashing the nitrous button when facing the red flare
@@geadah5146 I remember one of my friend standing by at ths PS2 so he could shut it off directly as soon as we lost. That feeling was the closest 4we got to doing crack as we'll ever get.
Just finished replaying the remix on the Playstation 2. Just as fun as I remember and it brings me back to when the AI racers were actually challenging
I memorized every single race on midnight club 2 for the ps2 because i never owned a memory card. So every morning i would start career mode from the beginning and play all day until one day i beat the whole game. Hahah good times
People never talk about how amazing online was in this game. Anybody that's heard of the real midnight club will know it was all about motorway racing. There was a motorway went round the entire map in this game, n online anybody that was big into the game wouldn't drive around the city or do events, they would head straight to the motorway. Ya would drive around for couple mins on you're own until ya came across another player driving up ahead. Then use would have a 200+mph motorway race through traffic etc just like the real midnight club. Most people didn't use mics back then so use would communicate and start race's by flashing the headlights, gave it an extra real feel tho cause in real life you don't chat with the other driver.. use flash lights then race lol Also one of the first games that let online players customise cars to that extent.
I remember playing this game on ps2 it was painfully fun, painfully as in the sense of it being hard but fun for its intensity I wish rockstar makes another midnight club game or at least put all of their midnight club games on next gen
You sure seem to be looking for a fight by going onto random comments and talking down to people for having their own opinions. I hope you can move past that. 👍
God I love the IS300, to think the car was already featured in a racing game as a tuner when it was still in its production life. 2000’s was a crazy time I wish I could experienced longer
Great video, I honestly won't be surprised when this gets more and more views. midnight club 3 was also my all time favorite racing/childhood game. i recently installed it to complete it too. 10/10!
So unfortunate that R* didn't port Midnight Club 3 and Midnight Club LA to PC, the games would still be alive! btw, Midnight Club LA just needed a couple graphic mods to look as good as recent games.
...and massive improvement to its controls, and more songs...like, say, Boston's "Don't Look Back", Hall & Oates' "Getaway Car", Metallica's "Fuel", Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive", 2Pac's "Picture Me Rollin'", 50 Cent's "Get in My Car", Bass Mechanic's "Bass Mechanik", The Cars' "Drive", Chamillionaire (feat. Krayzie Bone) and their song that is named "Ridin'", Cybotron's "Cosmic Cars", Deep Purple's "Highway Star", Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Dogg, Ruben, and Jewell) and their song that is named "Let Me Ride", Gary Numan's "Cars", Kendrick Lamar's "Backseat Freestyle", L'Trimm's "Cars That Go Boom", Lil Troy (feat. Fat Pat, H.A.W.K., Lil Will, and Yungstar) and their song that is called "Wanna Be a Baller", Massive Attack's cover of "Be Thankful for What You Got", Mike Jones (feat. Paul Wall and Slim Thug) and their song that is called "Still Tippin'", Model 500's "Night Drive (Thru Babylon)", Rich Boy (feat. Polow Da Don) and their song that is called "Throw Some D's", Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive (55)", Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars", OK Go's "The One Moment", Blackfoot's "Highway Song", Space Rangers' (feat. Diamond Pistols and SNEEK) and their song that is called "The Move", The All-American Rejects' "Move Along", King George's "Keep On Rollin'", I have tons of ideas for new music.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 , do you have any better ones? I would like to hear them, otherwise, zip your lip, Chip. Also, Slim Thug already was a part of the soundtrack for the game that was literally mentioned in this video.
3:30 nowadays all this customization would be cut in half and would only be obtainable by inhuman levels of grind to force people into paying real money for it
This game was my childhood, I still boot it up on PCSX2 and beat the story every now and then. Twista- Sunshine is a classic song. I think my copy got stolen by movers though.. too bad. I’m so grateful I grew up in this gaming era.
Makes me so happy that you talked about MC3! GOD I loved this game. Had it on PSP, played it for countless hours. It was fun, it was hard, it was addictive, it was grindy. It was perfect. I'm with you on that; to this day there hasn't been another racing game getting close to this. I still remember wondering why NFSU was such a big thing compared to MC3. It was great, but... definitely not on the same level AT ALL. Back then it felt like the forgotten child, glad to see it now gets the recognition it always deserved.
Literally if they remastered this game with just updated graphics I would cry, this game was my childhood and I keep trying to find a racing game to bring me the feeling of this game I had and none of them come close its in its own category this truly is the greatest racing game ever
I played this along with most wanted and gran turismo 4. These games sparked my car enthusiasm. Man those were the days. Just come home from school, play video games. Now I dont even have time to play games
Bruh, this game, GTA San Andreas, James Bond Everything or Nothing, Jet Li Rise To Honor, DBZ Budokai 3 & Tenkaichi and Spider-Man 2/Ultimate Spider-Man on the PS2 was my SHIT when I was a kid.
My first game when the psp was released. Couldn't believe my eyes, this game was out of this world in a handheld console in 2005. I still remember the time I first boot it.
Just bought another psp since mine got broken 10 years ago, was my first game as well and I loved it. I bought this game as well so I can play it again
@@gavinlee9478 yes, you can unlock the vita to play psp games. It's not hard, but if you can get one already unlocked you just need to download the game and play it. I have a huge library of psp games on the Psvita, plus the Psvita games.
I just recently hopped back into this game on the pcx2 and it brought back so much memories. I was such big fan of racing games in the 2000s like NFS Underground 1 and 2, Most Wanted, Burnout, Street Racing Syndicate but I had more fun playing Midnight Club. Man they don't make racing games as they use to anymore its such a shame.
Hell yeah. Idk if it’s a nostalgia wave or coincidence but all these games you’re reviewing I recently just started playing again, and I’m back to being addicted as if Im a kid again and I’m okay with that. I just found your channel and love your retrospectives. These old gen games are more relevant than ever with triple A’s making overpriced half baked games and indie devs being inspired by these 2000s classics to make something new
This game was so legendary. I had a 96 impala that was dark candy red with 28 inch Davin Blak Onyx spinners. You had to really grind for what you got in that game!
I loved this video I had the PSP version of this game and spent months playing it. Oh btw it's called a Lamborghini Muhr-cee-eh-la-goh, it means bat in Spanish.
I remember having this game on the original Xbox, I had the massacre, ready to die, the documentary & get rich or die tryin downloaded on it and played those tracks as I beat the story lmao. Man I was 10-11, the memories man
ONE OF THE BEST RACING AND CUSTOMIZATION GAME THERE IS TO DATE I REALLY LOVED THE FIRST ONE TO PLEASE BRING THIS GAME BACK. THIS GAME ACTUALLY FELT VERY FAST
Spent hours on this game as a teen. Funny cuz I let my friend at school borrow 50 Cent the Massacre CD and in exchange he let me borrow this game lol played this bitch as much as I could until he wanted it back. Good Fuckin times. Definitely in my top 5 games of all time, not just how good the game was just off nostalgia. Good review 💪🏽
Great video! Bought it back in 2006/7, enjoyed it! I also owned it again after losing the first copy currently for the PS2. But now I've just bought it for the PSP for a flight when I go on holiday. Should keep me entertained for a while.
remember along time ago playing this game when I was little, probably like before middle school and such. I used to play the OG rockstars games like bully, GTA IV and this game. Such good memories on it. rockstar games make up my childhood
Most wanted 2005, midnight club 3 dub edition remix, and underground 2 were peak racing games I've ever played to this day. No matter how good the graphics get of modern games, they don't even come close to the level these games were
NFSU2, Burnout 3 and Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition were the big players of the golde age of arcade racers, you had the batshit insane Burnout 3: Takedown, with its fast as fuck speeds and banging soundtrack and awesome car crashes, to the more grounded Underground 2, with its absolute insane customization and perfomance settings and Midnight Club 3 was the perfect mix of both Burnout 3 and NFSU2, it was crazy with its abilities but you could also tweak your cars to your liking.
You should do a video on Midnight Club Los Angeles! I'd love to play MCLA on my PS5... I loved the Midnight Club series growing up. That and NFS Most Wanted (2005!) were my two favorite racing games.
I love the fact that almost everyone who has played this game appreciates it a lot, including me. Midnight Club 3 lit my car enthusiasm as a child, and I still dream of owning some of the cars in the game with the modifications I did to them many years ago
I feel like with rockstars resources they could definitely make another badass midnight club with actual drift physics mabye but with all the new cars since La that exist now it could be a huge opportunity for them
just an fyi 4:30, NFS underground 1 or 2 if im not mistaken had more customization than MC3, since you could paint the engine aswell etc which you could not in MC3. great video btw
Both games had customizations that the other didn’t have. But MC3 had way more. Underground 2 probably would’ve had a lot more if Black Box had more time with it because there’s actually hidden files for more customization that didn’t make it in the final game.
When games are so good that you buy the old console and games again to play them over a decade later, AND HOLD UP WELL, they're good. My childhood was filled with NBA 2K, NFS, MC3, and eventually Forza series. I had got a ps2 and MC3 DUB Edition Remix, NFS: Carbon, and the original FlatOut a couple years ago. I even have several Xbox 360 and original Xbox games on my Xbox One now: Star Wars Battlefront 2, GTA 4, Skate 3, recently FO:NV, The Orange Box for HL:2, MX vs. ATV Untamed, Peggle, Bejeweled 2 and 3, and even Star Wars Republic Commando. I wish my entire childhood gaming library was ported to the MS Store so I could try to buy all of them.
I remember adoring this games single player and even the online multiplayer with car clubs (shout out Racing King$) shame that teenager me wouldn't realize that it would be the peak of racing games until the unforeseeable future. 🤣😭
Loved this game when I was a kid. Reminded me of the PC game Midtown Madness from the late '90s (I believe both games came out of the same studio). In addition to all the campaign races, the game had race builder where you could set up custom checkpoints around town. You could even put your checkpoints up on the el tracks in one of the cities. The bots had no idea how to get up there, but it was a blast doing laps around the tracks whilst dodging trains and trying not to fall off. This was my go-to game to play with my friends who didn't like racing games, too, because it was fun just to go into a splitscreen free roam and screw around in this game. The game also had absolutely stunning visuals. It was just an all-around winner. Tried to play the sequel to this (Midnight Club: Los Angeles) on the PS3 a couple years ago, and it kind of fell flat for me. Not sure if it's because I'm older now and don't really play videogames much anymore, or because it didn't have splitscreen, but it just didn't do much for me. I stopped playing it after just a few days.
Hold up, at 3.30 you say it has the most in-depth customisation to date? Even in 05 it was less than many competitors. It was one of the main negatives in that eras reviews. Especially since NFSU2 released 6 months earlier. Most of the cars only had 6 to 10 bumpers. Exotics had none. Bunch of generic spoilers on most but every paint option possible. Great game that I was so so hyped for in high school. But NFS MW later on was what I was after more.
