Midtown Madness 2 game features

• Two New Cities to Race & Explore! Midtown Madness 2 features two all new fully-living and interactive cities each with accurate street maps and accurately rendered landmarks:

  • London
    Tear across Hyde Park and take a snap-shot of Buckingham Palace as you race in the twisting streets of ole’ London town! Or dash your car into the ‘Tube’ for a quick short-cut… Just look out for that train!!!

  • San Francisco
    Lombard Street and Union Square ain’t seen nothing yet as your car leaps from hill to hill in San Fran’s suspension bustin’ streets. Look out for that Street Car!!!

   

• 10 all-new vehicles to smash and crash! Midtown Madness 2 puts you in the driver’s seat of 10 all new campy urban roadsters ranging from the Aston Martin Vantage DB-7 to a cherry-red Freightliner Fire Truck in addition to the madcap assortment of cars and trucks from the original (like the VW Bug and Ford Mustang)!

   

• New Crash Course Mission Mode. Jump in the drivers seat as either a Hollywood Stunt Man on location in your latest action-thriller in San Francisco or as an aspiring Cab Driver just entering the hallowed halls of the East End Cab Company School of Driving in London. Crash Course mode features a series of skill-building scenarios where drivers can master the challenges of Madness Driving in addition to unlocking cool new races, vehicles and Easter Eggs galore!

   

• Improved Driving & Racing Performance. Midtown Madness 2 builds upon the groundbreaking physics engine of the original allowing drivers all new racing challenges like power slides, mastering the hand brake, and more. In addition, damage modeling has been improved allowing breakaway parts and even better damage detail.

A little chat with Andreas Roman, Digital Illusions C.E.

Midtown Madness 3 is hotter than hot in the community. Digital Illusions C.E. is taking the Midtown Madness franchise one step further. We sit down with Andreas Roman, lead designer for Midtown Madness 3 and asked him some questions. Would you like to know more about this highly anticipated title? Read on and find out what’s coming right at you in the first quarter of 2003.Monty: We’d like to thank you for taking time to talk with us about this highly anticipated title. Could you introduce yourself to our readers? AR: My name is Andreas Roman. I am the lead designer for MM3. Monty: Let’s kick off with a short question. How many people are working on MM3? AR: Roughly 30, I would say. Monty: As in every Midtown game, the city will be realistic but modified to increase the gameplay. How do you make a huge city like Paris or Washington DC realistic? How much time is spent on research? AR: Research is done all the time, though the groundwork is very focused at the beginning of the process. We had parts of the art team fly to the different cities and photograph and film them. We constantly revisit this material to make an accurate image of Paris and Washington, while still being aware that gameplay and technical issues require compromises on some level. However, I think it’s safe to say that you can use your game as a tourist map quite accurately. If you found no other use for it, that is. 😉 Monty: Cars in MM3 will sustain visual damage; in what ways will this have effect on your car’s performance? AR: In lots of ways. We’re going for a more general damage model. Midtown is not about building your car between races, it’s about crashing your way to the end. Crash hard, you’ll notice performance drops. Sometimes it’s the engine, sometimes it’s the springs. Monty: As in any racing game, artificial intelligence is an important factor to make a game feel realistic. What can we expect regarding the A.I. in MM3? Can players hold a true ‘legal cruise’, following the traffic rules and such. AR: We have ambient traffic on a realistic level, as well as AI cars that behave mostly like you would – ignoring the boundaries and heading for the goal. AI in this game is a bit devious, it takes different routes and has different personalities. It’s possible to play a legal cruise game mode, you can follow the traffic rules and the cops won’t come after you. But I dare say that’s a trial of patience worthy of any Yoga master. 😉 Monty: MM3 will support multiplayer and online play. Will the popular ‘Cops n Robbers’ be included once again? Are there any new multiplayer modes? AR: It will. We will have a bunch of new modes, and actually avoid the most conservative ones on purpose. You won’t be disappointed, though, the multiplayer modes are not cheap twists on already existing modes but new concepts designed for multiplayer alone. Monty: In the last couple of months, high resolution in-game screenshots have been published on the internet by Microsoft. However, a regular TV does not have such a high resolution as the in-game screenshots. Will players notice a big difference? AR: I don’t think so. Midtown’s beauty lies mostly in the level of detail and the style that our art team is aiming for. It’s not a character intensive game in a visual context, and it’s not about close-up expressions. It’s about size and realism, and for that, you don’t need to see every pixel clear as crystal. Monty: So far we have only seen screenshots of Paris. What about Washington DC? Where is it? AR: It’s in the north-eastern part of the U.S. The President lives there. 😉 It’s also in our game, and it’s substantially different from Paris. This affects gameplay, since races are adapted to fit each city’s theme. It’s coming along very nicely. You’ll see some shots from DC in the near future. Monty: Will both cities feature in-door areas, such as parking garages? Are these areas going to play a large role in player’s cruising behavior? AR: They might. And if they, hypothetically speaking, are there, it’s up to the player to use them in creative ways. Leaping from the fourth floor of a parking house with a sports car, hitting the ground, pushing the pedal and speeding away from the confused police is great fun, though. Hypothetically speaking, of course. Monty: Can you tell us something about the “Story-mode” that will be making its way to MM3. AR: You’re working undercover in Washington or Paris. Each city has its unique story and you don’t have to play them in any particular order. You move between different covers to unravel the plot in the city, and we promise a lot of drama! Kidnappers, Italian movie producers, German racing stars, old ladies, raging mad poodles� You’re going to work as a delivery driver, taxi driver, chauffeur, paramedic, security guard, secret agent, a stuntman a lots more to reach the climax of the story. We’ve got special characters walking around in the world for this purpose, characters that appear and reappear, AI competitors with personalities that haunt you like a nemesis. This is where the game starts to TALK. You’ve never really competed against an opponent in a racing game until you’ve tried this. You also have new themes here, car chases, surveillance missions and driving people around are all ideas new or evolved to this instalment of the series. Monty: Any chance a PC version will be released as well? AR: If you bug MS about it real hard, who knows what they could come up with? Actually, there will be a PC version, although the release date has not yet been determined. Monty: Final question� In your opinion, what will really set MM3 apart from the previous two games? AR: The story mode, the multiplayer modes and Live! In practice, that’s a LOT! You should consider previous Midtowns as starters, and this game as a huge main course with so much stuff in it, you won’t know where to begin. Best of all, though, you can eat until you�re completely satisfied. Monty: Thank you for your time and for answering our questions. We all look forward to the third sequel of Midtown Madness. AR: Thank you. I hope the fans will enjoy this title, we’re doing our outmost to conserve what’s good with the previous ones as well as expanding on new stuff. This one’s for you.

Bad news

Two months without a newspost. If you guessed that this has nothing to do with maintenance anymore, then your guess was right. In the past two months a lot has happend that has given us reason enough to rethink our actions and personal goals. It’s hard to believe, but there are actual living human beings with lifes of their own behind this site.Let me first try to explain the why. Midtown Madness 2 Central launched in July 2000 with the goal to give the community the best coverage on Midtown Madness 2. We didn’t really expect to see a third game in the series ever. We expected to close MM2C around now, until we revealed a PC version of Midtown Madness 3 was under development in an interview with Andreas Roman of Digital Illusion CE. Work began on developing version 3 of the site to be able to accommodate for an increased number of visitors. We have been saying version 3 is as good as done for about 4 months now (some content is still missing), this is still the case.So, why the little history lesson? I am trying to make clear that the only reason (at that time) for MM2C still being here, was the announcement of Midtown Madness 3. MM2 is over three years old now and the third game was our only hope to spark new interest into the community and to spark our interest into the website.“But Midtown Madness 3 for the PC is still going to be released, right?” Wrong. Microsoft Game Studios is still refraining from giving any information on the fate of the PC release, but the information gathered in the past two to three months leads us to conclude that Midtown Madness 3 for the PC has been cancelled. Either that, or people are playing with us.Simple truth is that we are nearing the final chapter of a great book. We have lost our interest in the game a long time ago and with these recent happenings our motivation as well. Besides the personal reasons, there’s a financial reason as well. Statistics show that the number of visitors have decreased by 50% in less than a year and we are barely covering our expenses (and the way it’s done aint pretty).We will stop updating MM2Club with news regarding Midtown Madness 2 and 3, effective immediately. If you wish to stay up to date,  our fourms are still going strong. When we will take our last breath online is yet to be determined, but a complete newspost will be posted a month ahead of time.I have tried to give you a tip of the iceberg, but the situation is still a lot more complicated. You will hear from us soon again (hopefully not too soon!).

Has now realesed MM3 which is only for XBOX 360 and XBOX.

Midtown Madness® Update
The following changes and improvements are made to Midtown Madness when you install the update:

• Vehicle tuning parameters hard-coded to prevent unfair changes.
  Once the patch is installed, the tuning parameters for each of the featured vehicles are hard-coded to prevent “illegal” tweaks that may give one player an unfair advantage over his/her opponents.
• Locked vehicles not available for multiplayer games.
  Once the patch is installed, you will not be able to select otherwise locked vehicles when joining a multiplayer session.

In addition, several issues relating to switching views are also fixed with this patch.Click on the link below and choose SAVE TO DISK. Then go to the folder in which you saved it and double click on the icon to begin installation.
