The Best Racer You've Never Played

[@AppreciationCulture]

What's your favorite racing game ever?

[@thallrudedjentstorm1756]

midnight club los angeles, nfs most wanted and McRae Rally.

[@AppreciationCulture]

@@thallrudedjentstorm1756 the amount of most wanted I played as a kid is like unhealthy 😂

[@Neduous]

1. Need for Speed Underground 2 2. Mario Kart Double Dash 3. Need for Speed Pro Street 4. Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition 5. Need for Speed: High Stakes

[@ceriousgaming6392]

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.

[@Helvigster]

I'd also argue the opposite was true; I had no interest in cars and car magazines like DUB until I played Midnight Club 3. now I love cars!!

"London map from Midnight club is near identical to Midnight Madness London map" its almost like its meant to be the same city or something

[@diegomedina9637]

Wait until dude sees Midnight Club L.A map compared to GTA V map.

[@r3uvsgaming]

explain Midnight Club 2' LA and Midnight Club LA then

[@Dirik619]

@@r3uvsgaming when making MC: LA , developers kept in mind that the map and assets will be used for GTA 5 ( they already confirmed that the racing mechanics are copy pasted from MC:LA to GTA 5 )

Never played??😭 everyone and their mother had played midnight club 🤣

[@AppreciationCulture]

@@sadshinobi8843 I know, I’m sorry, I missed out! 😂

[@saint5766]

Nah fr midnight club was the shit

[@RiVer-Parish]

Well sucked for you. Also, try smugglers Run.

[@tyronesmith9267]

I played all of them to death but MC3 dub edition remix takes the cake for me!

[@felisasininus1784]

I haven't. I cry at night about it.

[@snope1779]

super cool info here. i loved la remix. I used to play it under blankets on my psp because the brightness of the screen was so bad lol. After I finished the video I noticed the views were so low. I'm sure you'll pop off soon, don't be discouraged.

[@RJ_Chameleon]

Racing Savo in Midnight Club 2 I actually spiked my controller into the floor multiple times Literally the most rage inducing thing I’ve ever experienced in a racing game I’ll never attempt that game ever again lol One time through was enough for me 😂

[@AppreciationCulture]

@@RJ_Chameleon dude honestly I feel that so hard 😂 there’s a few guys who made me freak out while I was playing!

[@KIDTWK]

Thank you for properly reviewing MC2 and my introduction into the series. This was awesome to watch❤

[@AppreciationCulture]

@@KIDTWK legit might be my favorite in the series haha I love all of them with the exception of 1 though 🤷‍♂️

[@thecoldduvet7381]

yeah was literally obessed with MC2 as a kid

[@diegomedina9637]

Joke's on you, I've played them all. Even the handheld versions of 1, 3 and L.A.

[@Neduous]

My brother and I made a special 1v1 mode to play in Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition. You'd have to stay in the lead while racing on the highway in free roam for an entire lap, but with special rules: 1. You unlock wo-wheel driving by beating Hector's Block Party, 2. Choose Atlanta for your map, because the highway is one big loop 3. Set traffic to max (If I remember correctly, it was a setting) 3. One person starts at the bottom of any highway on-ramp while the other starts at the top 4. Both start at the same time 5. The lead car has to immediately get onto two wheels and maintain it for an entire lap around the highway 6. The chaser car has to stay on 4 wheels and pass the lead car. Their lap on two wheels immediately begins at that point. 7. The lead car has a very strong means of attack. They can lightly tap cars while driving, which will make cars they touch turn sideways, impeding the chasing car. It was a super fun "custom game" we played. I got really good at launching every car I passed.

[@IlhamParamartha]

This is an amazing video. Thank you for putting the time and effort to do so.

[@Milty2001]

Midnight club was the dark souls of racing games, it was fun and hard at the same time

[@FR0Z0NEkeys]

Facts, no other racing series will force you to adapt or quit like that.

[@apallo.11]

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

[@SovietPenguins]

Nice thorough and informative video king 🙏

[@ibnulbevan8020]

I believe Midnight Club 3 gave Need For Speed Most Wanted 05 the most intense competition

[@domasavpedzivin]

*Regarding Grand Theft Auto & R** *but mainly the Midnight Club franchise* *There's an ongoing trend of R** , *that began some time ago , that the way they design cars is basically recreating the real life counterparts in like 99/99,5 % , have you noticed their change of approach in this regard , what can be the purpose of that?? , personally I've a theory , there is a possibility that the new Midnight Club/wether a remake or a completely new instalment/ have been shelved in favour of development of Grand Theft Auto VI , however could it be , that they recreate those cars with sucha attention so that it'd be easier for em to transfer em in the next years to the next Midnight Club?? , coz I guess they didn't changed their approach unpurposely??*

[@NFSBeast2365]

My FAVORITE Rockstar game series 😍😍😍😍

[@domasavpedzivin]

*Regarding running over pedestrians well some car brands allow it some not , look at the Getaway*

[@saint5766]

They need to remaster these games

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Ridgeline racing or racer on PS1 was badass one of my favs ❤

[@KillerEvilMonki]

Here before it’s taken down again!

[@AppreciationCulture]

@@KillerEvilMonki I take the blame for that one… the copyright claimed version was uploaded by accident 😂

[@KillerEvilMonki]

@@AppreciationCulture haha all good man it happens! Great vids! Keep it up!

[@AlwaysSwarley]

Ok pineapple pizza goated tho... also love games with consequences (like pink slip racing). That's kinda cool feature.

[@lamambanegra9]

Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix is the greatest racing game of all time. We need a new Midnight Club from Rockstar after GTA 6

[@georgediaz1259]

Im glad youve finally played this but like... this was a pretty common game ngl

[@TacticalTartan]

Game from my childhood.. am i old now? 😂

[@AppreciationCulture]

We're all old now haha

[@techboma]

McII The ghost rider motorcycle glitch was so cool I used to do it all the time.

[@Glenni91N]

I just played through Midnight Club again just now, been about 20 years since I last played it. It's still very fun, oh my god the physics can be janky af with some cars though, haha. But hey, still beat I Smell bacon! :D

[@xity_]

Midnight Club is the only racing game I come back to between 3 and LA cause I grew up with those 2 and from the cars to the difficulty it’s all so perfected there’s only minor flaws that hardly kill the experience for me

[@riko918ab6]

Kareem savo and oscar as well Nikolai if you play every midnight club game from start to finish you gonna know them

[@techboma]

I played and loved all these games !!

[@ProdHKD]

id arguably say that need for speed never had consistency in there franchise, we had 2 hot pursuits before we had underground, then 2 undergrounds before Most wanted etc..., I think there consistency relies on trying something different

[@DarkNeon27]

If you get Midnight Club 2 on PC you can mod the heck out of it.

[@Howdareyou-ln2stars]

KZbin titles are the same u never played that u never played this u never that u neve this you you you you :p

[@sx2ap]

Everyone knows and played Midnight Club. Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition is a certified hood classic

[@AppreciationCulture]

@@sx2ap clarifying this for people since I’ve seen this same comment a few times… The title is there for people born after 2000, nearly all of which have never heard of this game, and even some indie games are more well known than midnight club nowadays… and the thumbnail is there for people born before 2000 so they can know what series is being covered in case they did play it.

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

I played midtown madness 1,2 and midnight clubs i started playing games on regular NES im 39 my oldest brother is 54 😂😂command and conquer red alert was a fun PC game and was really the game ghat got me into multiplayer games also played smugglers run

[@jorgeadame5019]

I want to play midnight club now

[@scottjs5207]

MCLA got really repetitive at the end... For how big of a map it had, they had a very limited race track list... And there's tons of ramps and shortcuts/side areas that aren't even utilized... You'll have to do the same races at least 5 times over before the end of the game... considering NFS MW and UG2 could pull track variety off with much smaller singular maps just 3-4 years before... It's rather grating to complete... I also wasn't super fond of the soundtrack or the 3rd person cameras (too distracting and static wasn't even static...) but having 1st person was actually really fun!

[@domasavpedzivin]

MIDtown madness , MIDnight Club *R** *should bring back the MC series*

[@codascapegoat1887]

Pretty sure DUB was involved with MCLA as well, considering the heavy use of the DUB branding in-game.

[@Dirik619]

"hows MC 1 for Gameboy" - SKIP

[@mikesilva44]

Huh? never played? almost every kid I knew including myself had midnight club

[@gstrdms]

damn bro you could have at least upscaled the emulation to be crispy 4k

Appreciation Culture DUB Edition

[@frodogaming491]

As a 2000s racing fan Nfs heat is the by far the worst nfs I wish rockstar would remaster some of the midnight club and just don't do what EA has done to Nfs over the years

[@AppreciationCulture]

I agree that NFS has really fell off but heat is your least favorite? That’s crazy but I respect it… I know it is still a pretty polarizing game that did not start getting love until years after release.

[@scottjs5207]

@@AppreciationCulture I like the idea of it, but not the actual game... like, an NFS Most Wanted AND Pro Street in one game? That's really cool! BUT... the handling models after 2010, just aren't what I was looking for, and none of the big racers are. I take one corner in a car, and immediately hate them... Doesn't even have Burnouts' liquidy smooth and bombastic powerslides unless the Burnout guys do it... and it just makes me want another Burnout...

[@tn420animations9]

I have that game on PSP.

@@AppreciationCulture I feel ya, i hate to say it but I feel like the era from like N64 to like playstation 2 should be considered the golden era. We should protest the current golden era of games

Kind of a reach people def played this game if you’re over 25. Entertaining though

Midnight Club was my number racing game and NFS is now my cope game since they won't make another 1

[@sagepone5830]

Dont get left behind, byebye!~

[@vgbouncehouse]

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 😛

[@daymonharris8696]

Yeah this is obviously a rage bait and you need help. I can tell by the unnecessary emoji at the end that you just want a response.

[@ElPatron42069]

Need for speed and midnight club are the best. The ret can die. Expect ridge racer 64 and Mario kart of course
