Interview with Rockstar San Diego. ( Before Game release)

We give you real vehicles in real places, but we let you do some wild stuff. Call us crazy, but this is fun to us. So many racers are stuck in simulation, going 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. Big deal. YOU can do that driving home. Why would I want to do that in a video game too? We give you vehicles and a city that you can have a connection with, something in reality, then we let you do things you just can’t do in the real world. Take a jump off a parking garage at 150MPH, land and weave through traffic to the finish line? These are the things we find fun and try to incorporate into our games. The game is meant to be a driving fantasy.

Roads are a little slicker when wet, but not enough to be frustrating. For the first time in the history of the franchise there is a 24-hour day/night cycle. Everything from weather to traffic patterns in Midnight Club: Los Angeles change during a 24-hour day.

With Midnight Club: Los Angeles, we really wanted to make every race count for something. So every race you complete, whether it is in career, arcade or online mode, rewards the player with points. These points drive your progression and unlock things like vehicles, as well as performance and visual customizations. The amount of rep points you earn is entirely up to you. Racers in the city are represented with colored icons on your GPS. These colors represent their difficulty. The more difficult the opponent, the more reputation you earn.
