Next month, publisher Steidl and Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games will release a hefty tome on the creation of its games, from Midnight Club to Bully to Red Dead Redemption. Asking price is an impressive $US450, if you’re game.
When one thinks of South Central LA and illegal underground street racing, one also thinks “Pizza!” Logically, Rockstar Games and Pizza Hut have partnered to promote Midnight Club: Los Angeles with the power of pie.
The downloadable content for Midnight Club: Los Angeles announced in December went live this morning for Xbox 360 owners. We (and Microsoft) hope you didn’t download it. Because that could be bad.
Rockstar Games is giving the Midnight Club Los Angeles faithful a chance to run riot in South Central next year with a free expansion to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 street racer.
Rockstar has issued a new title update for Midnight Club: Los Angeles, adding “improved AI balance to adjust dynamically to user skill level.” Wait… does that mean less expletive/controller hurling, thanks to sane AI-controlled drivers?
Here’s the latest trailer for Midnight Club LA and the police chase action you can expect to find. Or does a police chase find you?
When we last saw Rockstar San Diego’s Midnight Club: Los Angeles, way back at the Leipzig Games Convention, we walked away impressed. Pissed that we weren’t allowed to actually drive, but impressed. Thankfully, E3 wasn’t a total bust, given that we got to spend a good hour playing the Xbox 360 version of the newest Midnight Club.
It’s really too bad our illegal street racing skills weren’t up to the challenge. Sprinting through Sunset Boulevard in a Mazda RX8, then through the Hollywood hills in a late ’60s Ford Mustang Boss 302 showed that, while we were thrown a couple of “REP” points here and there, we have a long way to go before actually having a respectable racing reputation.
Fortunately, we looked pretty good, even when finishing fourth.
The Leipzig Games Convention provided us with our first look at playable code of Rockstar San Diego’s upcoming Midnight Club Los Angeles. I just got back from Rockstar’s home base in Surry Hills, here in Sydney, where I was shown similar content on the 360 version, but with a few new tidbits, fresh for the biting.
