Midnight Club: LA racing to Xbox 360, PS3, PSP on September 9

With Grand Theft Auto IV's release ever-looming, it's easy to forget that Rockstar isn't just about guns and ladies of the night. The company's San Diego outfit announced this morning that its previously announced Midnight Club: Los Angeles,the fourth title in the studio's racing series, will drift to North America for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 9, with Europe getting the title three days later. In addition, the game will share self space with the Rockstar London-developed Midnight Club: LA Remix for the PSP as well.

While little is known about what to expect from the portable racer, the console versions promise to let players rev their officially licensed rides in a variety of LA-themed environments, with "no load times, no tracks, and no rules." Rockstar San Diego adds that players will be able to dress up their cars inside and out with an array of licensed paraphernalia, from rims and spoilers to interior gauges and tires, giving those of us with an eye for bling an outlet to flex our garish sense of style.

"...the Rockstar London-developed Midnight Club: LA Remix for the PSP as well."

What??? The same game on PSP is called Midnight Club LA REMIX? Why remix? Anything special on it?

I was hoping R* would save the Remix moniker for a later re-release of MCLA for consoles with more content like they did last time.

I didn't personally have a PS3 or X360 at the time the MC DUB REMIX title came out on PSP... but I did enjoy that(when I wasn't playing NFS:MOST WANTED). I look forward to at least a demo in the meantime. :]

Yeah I will have to keep an I eye out on this one. Not a huge MC fan but there good fun games.

Being able to use real world cars instead of fake lookalikes is always a plus. The customisation options sound really deep as well.

On the subject of GTA, any word on whether that GTA4 DS game was fake?

I hate racing games with people shown in the cars. I hate that soooo much, I want cars but no people.

"I hate racing games with people shown in the cars. I hate that soooo much, I want cars but no people."

Unless it's a game aiming for true simulation(GT5, DiRT, etc.) , I could care less about it or not. It's not like it interferes with the driving from first person view or anything.

Though a middle-finger taunt button would be hilarious to use in MC:LA when passing people or cops.

You don't make since? You like cars driving around as "Ghost Cars" with NO drivers. That's lazy developers or developers wanting a KID's rating. For the sake of realism I like seeing drivers in cars and in car view of seeing the hands turn the wheel and shift. Sorry but I can't even begin to see where you are coming from.

It's that I don't want a whole bunch of random nobodies in my cars. I can understand if this wasn't a racing game, I'm not against videogame characters. But my point is that they are like "this is your character, even though the game has absolutely nothing to do with him". For me, I want to be able to drive, not command some dude to turn and break when I tell him.

I'm making my car all silver and allowing the bloom reflections to blind my opponents....

I really wouldn't care about this game had I not seen that private demonstration of it at PAX while in the Rockstar booth.

The controls looked responsive, the city was gorgeous, and the in-game menu seemed really impressive. The game wasn't even close to finished at that point, so I'm sure it's gotten even better.

Never mind me, just checking my post history.

... Hey, nice cars.

don't be silly.. what blog would be dumb enough to have a system where you have to make a post just to see a link to your profile/history???? That would be all kinds of stu... oh wait...

..er, never mind. Just, er, checking my post history.

11 comments....wow, nobody cares.

I loved the first MC. I hope this one's just as good..
Hover car ftw!

With all the talk about a new city for GTA4, what if Rockstar is playing some unannounced cross-game crossover? Imagine, playing new missions in LA with GTA4 and playing in new york in MNC. Look at the scenes and tell me they don't look like it could happen. The data is already there...

I'm just going to keep playing Burnout...

this is look Dub had some of the best customization that ive ever seen in a game( only TXE racer had more) should be pretty good. this is gonna be another great gaming year , GTA, Ninja gaiden, MC, and gears2, haze, MGS....damn Im a have to quit my job!!!lol

finally

Uhhh, so the date's been pushed back? I downloaded a Midnight Club video a while back (not on my computer at the moment) and it said it was being released May 27th or something similar.

It was announced awhile ago that the game was delayed.

I love how a whole game can be based on one US city. You'd never see "Midnight Club: Milton Keynes" or "Generic Shooter: Bristol Edition"....

On another note, I shall not be touching this game. I didn't enjoy the Xb games.
