Midnight Club: Los Angeles Coming to Xbox, PS3 in ‘08

By Victor - Wednesday May 16th 2007

Finally, our fair city is getting the illegal street racing video game it deserves. On the heels of news that LA is a Top 10 road rage city (#5), comes news today that San Diego-based Rockstar Games has announced the 4th installment of it’s popular Midnight Club street racing series… Midnight Club: Los Angeles! (Emphasis mine!)

Midnight Club

Since the game is not due until ‘08, we have ample time to fantasize which freeways and streets they will digitally render for maximum extreme maximum driving. Personally, I’m looking forward to taking the 10-110 northbound on-ramp at 270 MPH in a Ducati GT1000, flying off the rails of the 405 onto the Sepulveda pass in a Gemballa Porsche and driving right up to the front door of the Getty, and blazing down Olympic from Bundy to Fig in about 12 minutes in a Lamborghini Murciélago. Or maybe even jump a Kawasaki Ninja on Manchester, right through the aperture of the big Randy’s Donut.

Randy’s

Of course, our Shittiest Intersections of LA must be included. (Rockstar Games: We are available to consult, so hit us up.)

So which LA roads are you most looking forward to burning up–in video game form? What LA details must be digitized and included?

And, because I’m sure it will be the first thing out of your mouths, let me just check “Picking up trannies on Santa Monica Blvd” off your list right away.




What now?

    I need to take a 1966 Ford GT40 down the harbor freeway, ramp the hell over Pedro and land in the Avalon Casino Ballroom on Catalina. If this is not possible, I am not buying the game.

    -Run over homeless people camping in the 2nd Street Tunnel

    -Peel out while taking the 105E to 110N carpool connector at 280 on a Ducati and end up somewhere in the San Gabriel Valley

    -Circuit racing around Marina del Rey with a ramp jump from Bora Bora Way to Fiji Way

    I think the Walt Disney Concert Hall is screaming for side-wheelies and 720’s.

    I just can’t imagine what it’ll be like to actually move on the clusterfuck that is the 101-110 interchange. I think I scream everytime I make that 3-lane change, lest I be doomed to exit off that sketchy Wilshire/3rd nonsense. That thing is do or die!

    I’ve been waiting for years for this to happen. Capture the flag around Staples anyone?

    Hmm, the curves of Laurel Canyon might actually be hazardous to navigate going more than the requisite four foot lunges between brakes-mashing. . .

    How about the fact that a lot of people are terrible drivers, but mask it by honking.

    Will there be a secret level where we have to avoid being killed by R&B superstar Brandy?

    Actually, you’re supposed to honk to give warning to people. So if they’re terrible drivers, they’re giving proper warning of “watch out. i suck at this.”

    Is it extra points to help out paparazzi and chase after celebs? Doubly if they try to kill us while intoxicated? How about avoiding getting killed by teenage Chads/Trixies driving Range Rovers in the Beverly Hills area? Oh the possibilities. This should be a fun one. I might even buy it for myself.

    I think I’d pick up this game if I could drive around the city and eat at all my favorite spots.

    Dim sum in Alhambra, then do 180mph in my Lamborghini Murcielago to Pico to get some Roscoe’s, then 200mph to Anaheim to get some falafel and hummus.

    If my character were able to gain weight, he would be a circle by the time he made his way around the city.
