Nodz86 · January 18, 2009

is this for the PS3 aswell?

Its in the multiplatform section so yes, and iirc it says it is in the 1st post ;)

Shy Guy · January 18, 2009

Rockstar should make an update to make the game less laggy, the loading lags and sometimes the car is faster than the graphics

Nipper · January 18, 2009

Rockstar should make an update to fix the graphics getting funky?

Sooo how do you propose they upgrade _hardware_ with a software update? Hmm, go figure.

Software updates can improve graphics and performance in games. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Nipper · January 19, 2009

I am well aware of that, but software updates can only do so much. :)

Eventually games get to the point where the hardware needs to be upgraded. In this case, MCLA seems to outrun the xbox's performance. Good luck fixing that with software changes. :)

Then again, I suppose it is different between the Xbox's, as internal components have been changed over the years. Making the new 'boxes more stable.

It could be really poor coding too, and yea with there being so many versions of the xbox it's easy for some to work well on some games and poorly on others.

CarMadMike · January 28, 2009

will it be released tomorrow?, Or not tomorrow? that is the question!

Shy Guy · January 28, 2009

I can't believe they release junk like the '09 Eclipse, they got all the Mitsubishi's right, we want the Supra DAMMIT!

And also instead of releasing many GM muscle's, why don't they give us some Mopar with the '69 Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, Roadrunnner, etc. or maybe even the Mercury Cougar

Aquila DK · January 29, 2009

It's not out yet :(

Nipper · January 29, 2009

It's not out yet :(

Did Rockstar ever say it was coming out on the 29th?

Immelmann · January 29, 2009

I wonder how the in car view will be in the R8.

Shy Guy · January 29, 2009

I wonder how the in car view will be in the R8.

The R8 is already in-game

Immelmann · January 29, 2009

Oh. How is the in car view?

Shy Guy · January 29, 2009

Oh. How is the in car view?

I don't have the car, its a DLC and you can only unlock it when you do the stuff in the R* Social Club Driving Test, I saw it online in RMR(Rate my Ride) and the Interior is pretty much anything you can find in MCLA

a nugget · January 29, 2009

the interior is nice,similar to the rs4

Immelmann · January 30, 2009

I don't have MCLA. It was more of a question that would let me know if there are in fact in car views, as google refuses to tell me that :D

TimBud · January 30, 2009

Yeah, MC:LA does have incar views... and they're amazing. Very well detailed, with fully working guages. Right down to the milometer/odometer. Interiors are very customisable too: seats, steering wheels, colours, neon (lol)...

At ShyGuy, the R8 is not a DLC, it is included in the game you just have to complete the driving tests to unlock it. :)

As for the release date, R* have only said that they will release in the early part of 2009 and I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it was likely to be Mach time.

I do not believe it will be any time soon because of the L&D release on the 17th Feb. Also we have to remember that the Burnout paradise DLC is out soon, so i reckon they'll release to coincide with that.

CarMadMike · January 30, 2009

March!, pfff, thats ridiculous >.<, Thanks for telling us anyway.

Shy Guy · January 30, 2009

March?!!!! damn... I guess I won't be playing MCLA for long, I'm tired always playing with the same cars...

Hmmmm might make my BP vs MCLA choice easier. Though, if I get MCLA and then this DLC, I'd be spending $85 on one game. :eek:

Shy Guy · February 26, 2009

I hate how there are no Chrysler or even Ford Muscle :( all GM, and I'm sure everyone would have liked a '69 Charger and a '70 Hemi Cuda instead of a Riviera and '66 GTO, but if it was the '69 or '70 one I wouldn't mind.

CarMadMike · March 5, 2009

South Central page is now up, http://www.rockstargames.com/midnightclubLA/southcentral/#CARS

Yeah but only one 'exotic'. There's the lowriders and muscle cars to satisfy the US market but little for the Europeans.

Undecided whether I'm going to bother with this one now:rolleyes:
