I can’t be the only one who finds Forza Horizon boring. It’s a racing game where one of the weakest elements is the actual races.

They have this really cool performance customization system, but there’s hardly a racing-benefit to use it because the AI just matches whatever you bring, and you can’t upgrade your car past a certain class if you want to progress the story in FH6.

FH’s storyline has all the excitement of a mandatory HR training seminar, and it’s all unskippable. The city also feels sterile with no pedestrians or realistic traffic. And almost all of the roads are designed like a racetrack instead of actual infrastructure.

The only silver lining is that the cars drive in a “sim-cade” style that I enjoy, but that’s literally it!

And I’ve tried NFS— I hate all the modern ones because of the handling model. And they all feel slow asf.

All of this made me spend hours figuring out how to emulate MC 3, because I was thinking “surely it can’t just be nostalgia”

It wasn’t just nostalgia-goggles, Midnight Club is the goat arcade racing franchise, bar none. The sense of speed in MC 3 is insane, the cars are fun to drive, there’s an amazing “vibe” with the soundtrack and story characters (you can skip it, but it’s good enough to the point that you don’t actually want to), and the customization is unmatched.

Truly, they haven’t managed to improve arcade racing since Midnight Club went MIA back in 2008!

I swear to god, if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I will do is buy a large share in Take-Two interactive and force them to make Midnight Club 5 lol

Totally opinion based but nothing beats 3 and la in my opinion. I've played a lot of racers even the new forza (which is pretty good actually) but nothing keeps me hooked like midnight club la. Motorfest was pretty close for me cause the arcade play style, need for speed lost its way although heat was cool but just imagine midnight club with forza and Motorfests car list

Outside of the eight cities Rockstar took these games, so many locations could have been brought in had they continued to develop the games.

1. Las Vegas, Nevada
2. Miami, Florida
3. Madrid, Spain
4. Barcelona, Spain
5. Lisbon, Portugal
6. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
7. Moscow, Russia
8. St. Petersburg, Russia
9. Stockholm, Sweden

If someone were to develop a spiritual successor, I’d like to see them go to Vegas, London and Tokyo. And with today’s computer technology, a Los Angeles (MC:LA) size map of each city could easily be done.

i'm trying to play midnight club 3 for the first time on the pcsx2 emulator, i'm now at the first mission and the car moves way too slow, am i doing something wrong? should i show my emulator and controller settings? i'm using ds4windows(because the analog triggers don't work properly in racing games while connecting my ps5 controller directly) and i mapped the gas and break buttons to the triggers, also im not that bad at racing games normally, i bumped into other cars at one point in the recording because i really didn't care anymore after beginning this mission so many times

I saw a guy spamming about that port in some MC:LA videos, but he didn't give any more information.

So yeah the title is pretty self explanatory. The game runs superbly, but with Xenia Canary the vynils are still broken. They do work with Xenia edge but it runs and looks much worse there. Any fix?
