    I think Midnight Club 3's promotion with DUB was possibly the most successful word of mouth campaign I've ever seen. So many of my friends that were into cars got into Midnight Club because DUB magazine gave out demos and showed articles. I have no doubt that it sold playstations as well.

    they're prob not gonna go back to midnight club tbh. they've fleshed out the racing and vehicle customization and city layouts so much with gta5 it seems kinda unnecessary to make a whole other game and license a whole new catalog of music, develop another realistic depiction of a city when they already have a massive licensed music catalog, they already have the big realistic city and the customization and everything so why do all that again and license real car brands on top of that for a franchise that historically doesnt pull in as much revenue as the other IPs and still has to compete with the 45 other racing games out there. i'd love for them to go back to it but from a business perspective it doesnt make any sense. i'd love for them to at least remaster the older games tho

    Sorry 3 was a disappointment trading crazy and civilian squashing for licensed cars and limited customization. If you’ve only played the PS2 versions you’ve missed out on the performance and image quality improvements of the Xbox versions (similar to the GTA Xbox version superiority). Another advantage of the Xbox versions? Custom soundtracks so you could listen to good music. Yes, Midnight Club 3’s music is atrocious if my previous statement wasn’t clear 😛
