New Midnight Club for September News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PSP Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

LA with no load times, tracks or rules.

Rockstar has revealed that Midnight Club: Los Angeles will be out in Europe on 12th September.

It will be the first of the series to arrive on the glitzy PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware, and boasts a seamless and realistic LA with no load times, tracks, rules, or Jack Bauer.

Rockstar San Diego is the returning developer behind the wheel, and we're promised more customisable cars than we know what to do with. Also: motorbikes.

"From the beginning, Midnight Club has been about street racing in an open world," said Sam Houser, boss of Rockstar. "With our team at Rockstar San Diego we have developed a game that we feel once again pushes the boundaries and expectations of what a racing game can be."

Rockstar also plans to release Midnight Club: LA Remix on PSP alongside its bigger brothers. The game is being polished up for handheld by Rockstar's London studio.

Pop over to our Midnight Club: Los Angeles gallery to see how it's shaping up.

Fucking yes! I've been waiting for this announcement.

You can keep your GT5 Sony, this is all the racing game I need.

/Doesn't expect anyone to agree

EDIT: Christ it actually looks quite nice, too.

Looking forward to this.
Midnight club 2 was the first PS2 game I played online. Got it going about 2 hours after the broadband installer had left.
Happy days.

Can you run into pedestrians like in MC 2? That was such a great added bonus to main gameplay.

It does sound like Paradise City. More bitching about reset options fast approaching

This was always the best street racing game. MC2 was especially awesome.

@Eraysor

MC2 was great, but it went seriously downhill with DUB edition. Dire Rap music, car modding and in-game ads made it seem too much like NFS, which also started to become tiresome after NS Underground.

Loved all of the Midnight Club games so far, so I'm looking forward to this one too.
The whole Free roaming things does sound Very Burnout-ish, but I have no doubts that it will be vastly distuingishable (gameplay-wise for the dummies) upon release.
