Midnight Club Iceberg EXPLAINED

[@N4SVideos]

You may have already seen this video but this is a re-upload/Remix version of the same iceberg Video after being hit with a copyright claim a few weeks ago. After the video got claimed, I've decided to remove it and not just fix the copyright issue, but all or most of the mistakes I made on the video itself that have been pointed out in the comments. What do I mean Remix? This version is basically the same iceberg but with the issues mentioned in the original upload fixed along with new topics and more information on some existing topics. This is the definitive edition of the midnight club iceberg. I also plan to bring back the original video in some capacity for comparison (and endure cringe). So yeah, hope you enjoy this new version of the midnight club iceberg. Here is the original iceberg video if anyone wants to watch it and even compare on what was changed/added. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmirlqp7esZ_kJI

Neat video. Your dedication to this racing game series is appreciated. Left a like for you.

[@alexiscardoso1413]

Hey Reiji

[@tonedefleppard6738]

How I got the Audi R8 (5k special use requirement): - Position car to face ocean - Go online - Tape your nitrous button down - Go to sleep Nitrous counted as a “special use,” and crashing your car in the ocean while online doesn’t ask for a button prompt to reset; it just sets you back to your previous position (facing the ocean). So about every 10 seconds your car will accrue 1 special use. If you fall asleep and come back 8 hours later you will have added nearly 3k uses. I felt really smart figuring this out by myself 😂

[@funalky]

damn those hidden dialogues was deep as hell, feel bad for them

[@caden1404]

You can turn off auto save when pink slip racing to keep your car after restarting the game.

[@upload2137]

[@rotarydude9737]

But why? Defeats the fun...

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

That's what I did. Mostly I just didn't want to loose cars I spent hours making paintjobs for. I guess if I can figure out the saving feature for vinyls, it wouldn't be so bad, as even if I couldn't win the car back, I could buy another later and put it back. Either that or just use burner cars with only performance upgrades.

[@josephikalashnikov2385]

To each their own, some people have fun playing it like this, but personally it just takes the thrill out of it for me, I mean it's just kinda funner playing with a big risk, is it not?

[@thec.e.oofbasedindustries8013]

Midnight Club is a rare example of a series that kept getting better overtime. From 2 onwards they were all good but MCLA was just a perfect racing game

[@rotarydude9737]

Honestly, disagree. MC3 was the peak, MCLA was rushed (foreshadowing the fall of R* San Diego from rushing them into games), from the lack of extensive customization (seriously, even the PSP version of MC3 had more!) to the smaller car list and map, it is a damn good game, but not the peak.

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

@@rotarydude9737 Those things were disappointing, but for me the real let down with MCLA was the physics. In Midnight Club 3 you could really see and feel the suspension interact with bumps in the road and body roll when cornering. You could also make both drift and grip builds viable, and the drifting took actual skill. Drifting in MCLA just felt wrong, you basically didn't have to counter steer, your car would just loose speed and streighten out all on its own. I really loved the first person view though, and the option to use the right stick for shifting.

[@vipprimo]

I played the games from day 1. I was part of the Import Knightz in Part 2 Online. I know the owner of the Rimbuk and Kubmir codes and Dustin from the cover. You did a pretty good job with the video. I think I’d go into more the Dustin “Mischief” link which is really cool. There were a lot of us that made this game legendary back in the day and we’re basically forgotten because the internet was new. One thing you didn’t review was swerving being a way to reach top speed in 2 and how it played a huge roll in racing that unfortunately made it to 3. Also the huge capture the flag presence which many don’t know because they weren’t there. There were a ton of clubs but only about 5 really made it to the top with racing and CTF. It spawned one huge rivalry that IK won due to the other team not showing up. It’s unfortunate that you guys don’t know Spirit R, OmegaKnight, Laszlo, Zen, Nefas, and Kubmir. We had a very cool community and much of those connections still exist today and potentially records that nobody has ever seen. Best of luck and btw you will never see another Midnight Club by R*. But don’t expect anyone in the know to discuss why. Until I see you next, I’ll be racing in GTA and real life.

[@ibnulbevan8020]

You missed out one thing there was an anime named 'Wangan Midnight' just like 'Initial D'. Wangan Midnight was about the real life story of the Midnight Club of japan

48:38 Oh god, I thought I was imagining things for years! I always used to have these "glitches" where I would be racing full speed and a long way ahead of everyone else and a black car would appear out of nowhere just a bit ahead of me, no markings, just a misterious car barely faster than me... I used to think it was a Skyline, but now, more than a decade later, I find out it was real. Damn.

[@aaronwoodcock4715]

Midnight Club 3's soundtrack exposed me to the N-word uncensored (Body-Head Anthem by Roy Jones Jr. Feat. Choppa), and the idea of Sex (Jump on it by Trick Daddy). It is an enigma to how the game was still Rated E+10.

[@zeromatter128]

Midnight Club 2 is such a great classic, the debate between 2 and 3/3 DUB Edition Remix AND MCLA is crazy. MC2, for me, I think was the last truly underground racing type of game to ever release. MC2 just has a very unique charm that I can't seem to share with other titles. And the soundtrack on that game oh my gooddddddd. I miss it all...

I've never even played a Midnight Club game, but this was really interesting. Nice work! Small critique/suggestion: I would add either a titlecard for small pause between topics, because sometimes topics would switch and the only way I knew was because the text at the bottom changed. Tiny little nitpick, but ya know.

41:44 I don't think any racing game even has this damn 😂🙆🏽‍♂️ but hey it's Rockstar. They are known to put in a lot of details in their games, big props to them 👌🏽✨

[@FurryWrecker911]

I remember on my first play through of MCLA I completed the pink slip races and realized that there was only so many of them you could win. After that, over half the parking lot was empty and it just looked pitiful. I did a second playthrough years later in which I saved the pink slip races until after I completed Carol's final task to get him a million bucks which unlocks everything. Pink slip races are not career reliant, so you can choose to do them late game, or even skip them entirely. Doing that I made a long list of custom beater cars and intentionally lost pink slip races at all the different car parks just to fill the parking lots. It's a lot prettier seeing 7 cars there instead of just 3.

[@UndercoverBoy833YT]

one fact, when you type NFSSUCKS on the license plate, police dispatcher says "Need for speed sucks" which implies that entire Nfs franchise and nfs undercover as a whole sucks ass EDIT: Ok apparently you cannot trigger the voiceline as it's actually cut in the game. It has the audio files but yeah you can't trigger it. Sorry for my misinformation I did a while ago.

[@Coco-Rockhill]

Rockstar really needs to bring this series back.

[@HP_594]

It’s bad R* didn’t release MC3 of MCLA at least, for PC Still wondering what was the reason behind it tho.

[@FemboyMotorworks]

R* in general isn't too keen on PC ports (i.e. GTA IV, Bully Scholarship Edition) so to expect one from the first three is near impossible at this rate

[@kenjamago3977]

it could be because of the rampant piracy issues around that time (III, VC, & San Andreas being pirated to the brim)

[@cannedbeverage7687]

It's ironic how DMA/R* started making games for the PC (e.g. GTA 1 and 2), but the moment they started making them for console (GTA 3), PC went to the back burner. GTA 5 is the only good R* PC port, which is probably why it took 2 years to come out.

[@MrGilang100]

Well, if they did release it in PC you bet that it will turned into racing version of gta 5 (make it online and continously releasing remastered versions)

[@Alex68dash]

You forgot to mention that the Lusso XT from MC2 is able to reach even faster speeds when using the fishtail technique and is also a thing you can do in MC3 to reach the top speed cap in the game

[@poprocks25-_-80]

Imagine if Rockstar would make a new Midnight Club game with today's graphics instead of updating a 9 year old game.

[@NeCoruption]

I don't even want better graphics. I low-key want them to release a new game under these very engines and technology.

[@tekkayagi6814]

If I’m not mistaken, there’s a tcrf webpage about MC1 SR’s prototype build that consisted of a model of the cut Tokyo map. There’s also some cut traffic for MC2 that was found on the PlayStation version. Racing Freak had done a restoration on these vehicles for the PC version, but has yet to release them. Mention of these models can also be found on tcrf.

[@VIccs826]

I remember many years ago playing Midnight Club LA on my Xbox 360, and I had to reset the game entirely. I lost 4-5 of my cars in pink slip races trying to win them back. I was so angry at the time

[@mikemoss6045]

I always did the freeway highway races on motorcycle. Follow them until heavier traffic, flash headlights, and split lanes.

[@NeCoruption]

I build up an agro and hit them with it after starting the race 🫣

I’ve broken sooooo many controllers losing my shit over this game. Between the pink slip races or being on the last lap of a race and a random truck spawns in front of me and fucks me over. Best racing games tho I wish they would bring them it back 🏆

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

Here are two you missed from Midnight Club 3: Drift boosting and out of bounds glitch. * Drift boosting requires you play with manual transmission, during a drift, you downshift so the engine redlines, now instead of loosing speed, you gain speed mid-drift, even above the car's normal top speed. Just make sure you shift up again as you exit the drift. * The out of bounds glitch is in Tokyo during split screen, if you doughnut against the garage door, you can glitch through into the buildings.

[@driveri1435]

I remember grinding for that R8 when I was like 12/13 lmaoo. Great video

[@ReiCaixa]

I remember losing my car, it was the Chevrolet Camaro Concept DUB Editio or the Dodge Challenger Concept DUB Edition. Then I had to speedrun with the other car until it was enough tuned, so I could win my first car back. That was actually an exciting mechanic for a racing game, more exciting than even NFS Heat's Heat at night (where you gamble your night's winnings by either continuing playing and upping your Heat, or drive home and save your night earnings before you risk getting caught on the next chase). Wish we had something like that today for racing games.

I remember when I was younger I saw promotional posters outside Hollywood video store for Midnight club 2. And I remember the rating on the game was M for mature before release.

[@SandyDawn17]

Asshole jokes aside. If you wanna cheese pink slips in MCLA, the way turning the console off/quitting still steals your car is because the game is programmed with a delayed shut off auto save. It forces the auto save before shutting down so trying this cheese tech (which worked in street racing) doesn’t work. Turn autosaves off. It stops this delayed shutdown from working as intended. It might crash Xenia on emulators but it works still. I know the internet has the whole “git gud” culture around video games, but some people want to casually play a game without having to practice it like a job. Theres a reason grinding is so hated. It’s also a terrible way to respond because saying “Just practice” without giving a way for people to practice is reductive and stupid. Practicing only really works if you KNOW what you’re practicing and how to practice it. Why do you think weight lifters need to know the correct lifts and technique. Because if they were told “just practice” they’d probably do it wrong, do a bad lift, hurt themselves, and maybe never improve.
