Video: In pursuit of Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Rockstar San Diego just released a new Midnight Club: Los Angeles trailer today, showcasing how street racing in LA is done. And if you ignore the in-game advertisements for Pizza Hut, Hollywood Video, DUB, The Coffee Bean and Zaxby's (just to name a few), we think Midnight Club fanboys will be satisfied. Enjoy the trailer love.

Have you ever been to LA? It's one big in-life advertisement.

I agree with Etchasketchist, endless in-game ads in this game would be pretty true to life. I live in Orange County and work in Santa Monica and I get bombarded with ads all the time while driving!
I know it's off topic but:
Just wanted to say thanks for all the X3F bloggers blogging for free. We appreciate your labor of love to bring us great gaming news.

Even though my appropriate-o-meter is reading this conversation as borderline tasteless, I say very cautiously and with all due respect that I believe our friends at X3F do indeed get paid, although not quite full-time career type compensation...
But I don't know for sure, and this is definitely not a request or suggestion for clarification or transaparency. I just know I enjoy what these guys do everyday, paid or otherwise, and for what it's worth, I hope it does result in current or future earning potential.

No they usually do get paid, but AOL is making all bloggers cut down on blogging due to loss in profits or somethin. That's why they are blogging under the name X3F staff. That's the account they use when it is "off the clock" blogging, and when they blog in their usual account with their name it is "on the clock."

You guys don't get paid! WTF?

X3F, like Microsoft, doesn't comment on rumors or speculation. But yeah something shady is going on.

The ads aren't really that bad, and they do fit the game.
ZiGGeN @ Jul 29th 2008 6:07PM
its like driving through pop up ads all over the place

I think it's funny that this game is being criticized for Pizza Hut ads when I just saw one on the front page.

Gamevideos. My archnemesis.
ray @ Jul 29th 2008 8:08PM
does anyone know if this game is gonna have some type of free roaming mode?
Firecatman @ Jul 29th 2008 8:58PM
All the other ones did and the last one had lobby based freeroam so i'm guesing this one will have something like TDU
Momer @ Jul 29th 2008 10:51PM
Do Midnight Club fanboys even exist?

X3F,
Thank you for blogging this stuff. You guys are a normal part of my day...my wife even got a sad face when I told her you guys weren't getting paid like you should be. So again, thank you.
Sean @ Jul 30th 2008 10:33AM
Thanks X3Fers for the free post... you make my work day more enjoable.

I barely noticed the in game ads, i saw em, but i didnt care, either way the graphics were pretty sick, specially since, racing is fast moving, areas need to load quicker, etc, looks pretty sick
