Midnight Club 3 2025 (4K Edition | FULL GAME) [4K 60 FPS] - San Diego

Thanks for stopping by. Please consider subscribing for more gaming videos. This was my first time playing Midnight Club 3. I had to crop out a few parts due to music copyrights, but overall I was able to keep most of the original soundtrack. I hope you enjoy.
If you're interested in how to add the 4K textures or remove the street light blur just let me know. I can make a separate video explaining how to make those changes.

Agreed. Had to keep it in the video despite getting copyrighted.

[@Idrissarold]

Facts!🔥

[@EngineNinja]

4K textures make it look almost modern. The handling in this game is peak arcade racing.

​@@FoizfawzyfooozyelfaizabuelfawaIts a arcade racing game, not simulator like Gran Turismo.

[@Foizfawzyfooozyelfaizabuelfawa]

@@Victor_2000s Ok so whats your point the mechanics, physics were overrated, it realy had no story probably the only game I could compare to NFS and nfs wins What's your point

[@Foizfawzyfooozyelfaizabuelfawa]

@@Victor_2000s Here's another and more of a professional opinion Fast forward to 2023 I tried the game out about an hour ago. First of all I'm not a graphics snob, I'm completely fine playing an old game as long as the style is good. This game looks like Wheelman got burnt. (Yes I checked the brightness setting). This game is so dark and dingy with the game being saturated in all the wrong areas. The lens flare made me question if there was something wrong with my monitor. The sun looks grey in this game same as everything. If you've ever played Battlefield 3 and been disgusted with the blue or green tinge, this game is you're worst nightmare. Aside from the game not really holding up. I thought the old games did there vehicle handling ten fold better. I'm not trying to be some old boomer vying for the good old days. Man every time I took a corner to drift the game does that nauseating hyper zoom on the rear windshield. Every car felt like it had water sloshing around the trunk making for frequent spinouts and an even worse time getting out of a jam. I thought this game was stinky. Similar to a moldy stuffed animal you have fond memories of, but just needs to be forgotten about and thrown away before if makes you ill. Now that I've laid into this game for disappointing me feel free to lay into me and tell me your thought on this. After this is just my opinion

[@JAMESYQ24]

One of the beauties of being a kid when this came out is a GS430 with Lexanis and a chrome grill is STILL “brand new” to me, and I could build a DUB one for 1/3 of the price of a new Ford Fusion. Every car in this game still seems new and cool to me.

[@Shinobi_Vii]

@JAMESYQ24 I was thinking about something similar recently. I remember playing Gran Turismo 1 as a kid thinking an '89 car was so old, but in a 2024 game that's the same as a 2016 car.☠️

[@Jeyghzly]

This game is what made me love cars and know all kinds of cars and parts, huffffttt the beautiful childhood will never return to those days. I can't believe it's been 23 years, thank you content creator for bringing me back to that time🙌🏻🔥

[@Shinobi_Vii]

@@Jeyghzly Thanks for watching. It's crazy to think it's been that long. More videos to come from this time period. Back when making a fun game was the primary goal of developers.

[@CJDiecast]

I can't tell you how many memories this game triggers! I was hooked on this game when I was eight! I spent hours after school, on weekends and holiday breaks playing this along with many others such as the early Need for Speed games, Burnout games, Forza, etc. It takes me back to my grandparent's house and I would bring the console along with a few games from home and my brother would hook it all it for me in the guest room and I'd just to go town on this! The graphics were great for the time, the selection of cars was healthy, and you can choose different cities to drive in as a bonus. But the background music, the sound effects, and the visual checkpoints all trigger those wonderful memories of being a 2000s kid. The best time that can never be relived. It will be missed especially nowadays with how wacko the world has become. Take me back to 2006 please!

[@Shinobi_Vii]

It is crazy how powerful these memories are. That's the main reason I mostly play retro games modded to be slightly more modern. Nice channel, by the way; a mix of diecast and real cars.

[@tylercouture216]

Being a 2000s kid was the time on earth. No other time will ever be as perfect as that

[@CJDiecast]

@@tylercouture216 I miss it dearly. I would do anything to go back 😢

[@CJDiecast]

@@Shinobi_Vii I have a question that needs to be verified. Is this game backwards compatible? I currently have an Xbox 360 and would love to play this game on it if possible.

[@Shinobi_Vii]

@CJDiecast unfortunately it looks like MC3 was not added to the list of backwards compatibility.

[@GwoppyTrai]

I still to this day say and argue that Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix is the best PS2 racing game of all time! I put thousands of hours into this game and know all routes to all the hardest races by heart.

[@Armada433]

Underground 1 is better ,Underground 2 is the best .

[@faheemahmad228]

Hey man, great video! I’ve been longing to play these old games especially at such resolutions. Can you provide me with a description of how to do so? Thank you

[@Shinobi_Vii]

Hello, Faheem. This was played on the PCSX2 emulator. You will also need to acquire an ISO file (also referred to as ROM). In PCSX2 you can play the ISO file. You can change the resolution up to 4K. If you look up "Midnight Club 3 4K Textures" on KZbin you will see a video for the mod and download in their link. Then in PCSX2 you can enable the 4K texture file. Getting wide-screen and 60FPS used to be more complicated, but with current versions you can click Settings > Game Properties > Patches > Enable Wide-screen, 60 FPS > Motion Blur Disable. I hope this helps. There are also videos on how to setup PCSX2 on KZbin if you get stuck.

[@faheemahmad228]

You’re the best! Thank you for such a descriptive response.
