Rockstar San Diego has announced that their upcoming racer for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, needs a bit more maintenance under the hood before it’s ready to peel out onto store shelves. Accordingly, the previous September 9 release date has now been moved back to October 7.
The delay should hopefully mean further improvements, as Rockstar promises a complete lack of load times as you drive around their virtual representation of LA at speeds that will likely far exceed the posted speed limits. Such news is certainly good to hear, as nothing kills my racing mood more than getting a loading screen seconds before crossing the finish line, or, as is much more likely in my case, crashing into the wall that’s next to the finish line.
Midnight Club: LA Remix, the Midnight Club title for racers on the go, will also be releasing on October 7 for the PSP alongside the console versions.
Are you planning on getting your race on this fall when the club that happens to meet at midnight finally gets together?
