This and double the fr. RDR would be amazing as well and GTAIV only needs a resbump to 4k.

Well we still don't know if the BC team's techniques/methods to double the framerate on select Xbox One games even work on BC 360/OG Xbox games yet.
However it would indeed be amazing if it does.
And by the same token, I think if you do have a feel for it, it rewards skillful (or lucky) gameplay without too much "artificial" difficulty bullshit, at least from what I've played. Classic Need For Speed titles often cheated so much it made actual wins feel empty, but this strikes a good balance (even when you can tell the game sometimes "gives it to you" at the end of some events).

This may be blasphemy but If I had to pick between the two, I'd pick 4k.
Please don't hurt me. LOL

It's ok since for that gen there were actually a lot of games that couldn't even reach 720p, and then there were less than reach 60fps!
Either 4k or 60fps would do!

Don't get me wrong 60fps would be great. However we still don't know if the BC team's current techniques and methods to double the framerate will work on 360/OG Xbox games.
We do know that the BC's team's techniques and methods to increase the native resolution of select 360 games does indeed work and has already worked on that generation's Rockstar engine with Red Dead Redemption.
So my wish is a bit more realistic than yours is. 😛

What DLC are you trying to grab? AFAIK, the Complete Edition already includes everything that was ever released.

You were playing using a disc? I could've sworn I read that a regular disc version will download the Complete Edition through BC for you to play.
This version is named "Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete" so it has everything no?
Yes! I was surprised at the difference
I'm starting to get back into the hang of how the game controls.
I really hope they can get a fps boost patch out for it. Racing games at 30fps feels weird
Also, fuck the police in this game lol just let me get to my race, dude 😔

Maybe, Maybe not.
It's possible this could again be a mistake or Take 2 renewed all the licenses so they could resell this game.
Only time will tell.
I was just about to post asking if anyone actually plays the game in cockpit.
I tried for a few races after getting the hang of the handling again. It is incredibly difficult to use that view. You need too much situational awareness in this game and the cockpit limits you too much IMO.
If it was in VR it might be a different story.
Don't know but I wish there was a way to play midnight club 1 on modern systems.
The police are the second worst thing about the game, ignoring the world's worst adaptive AI. Literally the worst.
ok so it's not just me? lol
thanks to the "power of X", if I get in a car chase I'll just force close the game and reboot lol
Complete Edition is the full MC:LA game and all of the DLC included.
each time I see this thread on the first page i'm assume it got revoked LOL
Haha. Ok. I was a PC gamer before the PS4, so I missed a lot. Or did they release them on PC, too? Anyway, I'm always ready for some nice racing action.
Only Midnight Club 2 got released on PC, and it was on Steam for a bit but got removed. And yes, try these games, they are so good!
i haven't played MC 3 in over a decade, and i dunno what the complaints are this is still so good in 2021
Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix is a work of art.
Midnight Club Los Angeles (The fourth one) had many flaws.
The two biggest were the cop cars and the AI. But I believe in later patches, they turned it down a little, but didn't completely fix them.
The cop cars around the city that made it a HUGE waste of time if you got caught trying to go to your next event. If you learn to watch the mini-map, you can avoid them.
The adaptive AI, however, is one that will completely fucking wreck you the longer you play in a subtle way you don't notice until it's too fucking late.
So, let's explain the adaptive AI algorithm:
1) If you come in first, the AI becomes a little more difficult on the next race
2) If you don't, it becomes a little easier on your next race.
That's the entire gameplay loop that adjust AIs. But there's a HUGE FLAW in that logic. Restarting a race. All the other MC games up until this one didn't have the 'adaptive AI' which meant if you looked like you were going to lose, you just restarted the race and did that until you mastered the course and won.
Except in MC:LA, restarting the race has NO bearing whatsoever on the AI. Which means if you play MC:LA like all the other MC games, all you EVER do is win, according to the logic to adjust the AI, which means after a few hours of gameplay, it's ludicrously hard. Every. Single. Race. And you're wondering if the other cars just got better parts than you.
It took way too long for players to figure out this bug. Because the idea of "just lose the race" to make the game easier wasn't even a thought that occurred to us.
You have no idea how frustrating the original release of the game was because of that design flaw. Couple that with the cops chasing your ass down all the time, and it was completely disappointing.
Ha, that's a nice piece of trivia, I had no idea! No wonder the game got so hard by the end, lol.
Did they ever fix that?
Funny how that's 'trivia' now, but when we all got the game, it was a psychotic attack as only some of us found the game getting stupid hard and others had no problem.
I don't believe it was ever addressed. The patches said they did some things, like adding an easy mode or something? The other thing to consider is we're also playing on better hardware AND TVs than we were a decade ago.
Playing it in 480i on a crappy TV with a PS3 is a world of difference than in BC mode on an Xbox One with a modern controller and a great TV.
