MarvinGUEST
The Need for Speed Most Wanted was my shit.
MarvinGUEST
And then Midnight Club 3.
Gerard FortuneHOST
I only played two, but Midnight Club had a good run.
Gerard FortuneHOST
They had a really good
MarvinGUEST
run.
MarvinGUEST
Actually, they need to bring that game back because not saying I don't like Forza or anything, but Midnight Club 3 was the ultimate.
MarvinGUEST
You could do races.
MarvinGUEST
You could just cruise around, but I feel like that's what Forza Horizon has done is the free roam aspect because sometimes you just want to drive your cars with your friends.
FleekazoidSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He gets me.
FleekazoidSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As for the driving, it seems like they just copy and pasted Midnight Club into a minigame.
FleekazoidSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So while Midnight Club...
FleekazoidSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I
AsmongoldHOST
think also, like, I mean, if you want to have the...
AntonHOST
If they're going back in the back catalogue similarly out, I think Manhunt's not going to see the light of day again.
AntonHOST
I don't think Midnight Club probably Bully would be the most likely, but they might not want to.
AntonHOST
Maybe Earthworm Jim 3D? Yep.
AntonHOST
And as one of our lovely patrons suggested, yep, table tennis.
Adam JonesHOST
But here's where it really gets insane.
Adam JonesHOST
They were contracted by Rockstar to make Midnight Club and Smuggler's Run, for people who remember that on the PS2.
Adam JonesHOST
Rockstar enjoyed working with them so much that they bought the company for between $28 and $41 million, depending on who you ask.
Adam JonesHOST
And they changed the name to Rockstar San Diego.
Adam JonesHOST
Rockstar San Diego may sound familiar to you.
Adam JonesHOST
They were in the middle of making Red Dead Revolver at the time.
Adam JonesHOST
They ended up making a couple more Midnight Club games, and then they had actually taken an engine that they made themselves that was called the Angel Engine or Angel Tech or something like that, and Rockstar asked them to rebrand it to the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, better known as the Rage Engine.
Adam JonesHOST
That engine was used to make Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, Max Payne 3, and Grand Theft Auto 4, 5, and here pretty soon, 6.
Roderick TaylorHOST
Okay.
Roderick TaylorHOST
You have Midnight Club.
Roderick TaylorHOST
Come on now.
Roderick TaylorHOST
You have Grand Theft Auto.
Roderick TaylorHOST
L.A. Noire.
Roderick TaylorHOST
Crazy.
Cari GentryHOST
Midnight Club.
Cari GentryHOST
chill out bro
Paarth ShahGUEST
Yeah.
Grant Van BrewerHOST
Need for Speed, Midnight Club, all these video games.
Grant Van BrewerHOST
Which one hooked you?
Paarth ShahGUEST
Well, I mean, dude, Sega Saturn, Daytona USA, man.
Bob WulffHOST
Yeah, you had Match Pain,
Will WulffHOST
you had Red Dead, you had Midnight Club.
Will WulffHOST
Yeah.
Will WulffHOST
Back then.
Bob WulffHOST
Yeah.
Will WulffHOST
red uh grand theft auto online made a
Bob WulffHOST
lot of money for them i know but like a game like midnight club and max pain and all that like you're spending money on those games and then you're taking what you made there and putting it somewhere else so max pain might have cost a couple like like 20 million dollars or whatever but now you're taking that and putting it into grand theft auto so the money it's free it's free now grand theft auto six doesn't have that
Will WulffHOST
Right.
GeorgeHOST
Take-Two have announced promising turnover and net profit figures.
GeorgeHOST
Take-Two, the company that brought us early PlayStation hits, Midnight Club, Smuggler's Run, as well as the almost great Oni on PC and PS2, has announced its financial results for the first quarter today.
GeorgeHOST
THQ announced lively financial results last week with rival Eidos is expected to post record-breaking profits tomorrow based on the success of its million-selling TV cash-in who wants to be a millionaire.
GeorgeHOST
Elsewhere, 3DO's profits were down thanks largely to failures on the Game Boy Color platform and the company is said to have laid off 20% of its staff as a result.
RGTHOST
not more.
GeorgeHOST
So this is prior to the Mega Beast that was GTA 3.
GeorgeHOST
So it's an interesting time for them to be talking about Midnight Club and Smuggler's Run and they mention on the horizon of the oncoming Mega Juggernaut.
GeorgeHOST
And they're pinning their hopes on Oni, which I believe was a Bungie game where they were just kind of chucking themselves out there in between Halo and what became before it was Marathon on Mac.
AntHOST
Need for Speed? Or
NovPANELIST
Midnight Club.
NovPANELIST
No, not Midnight Club.
HazHOST
I was about to say Midnight Club was hip-hop based.
HazHOST
Well, hip-hop heavy.
HazHOST
Yeah, Midnight
ChrisHOST
It was like a no clip video that was saying, um, every Rockstar game they used to do was basically trialing the engine for Grand Theft Auto.
ChrisHOST
So if you remember, like they had Midnight Club was for the driving.
ChrisHOST
They had the tennis game and they made like, was it Olympic ping pong game or something? Or Virtua...
ChrisHOST
Basically, Rockstar did a ping-pong game.
