Well, let's just hope that the HIN liscencing isnt Juiced's only selling point.

just the fact that you can now have carbon fiber trunk lids lets me know that the customization may live up to the 5 zillion as stated with the first game. it's about damn time people start putting the s15s in games.

Mmm could be very nice.

The carlist in Juiced was pretty impressive, if they fix some problems that where in the original it could become a very nice game.

idk mates, i don't liked that part of the standings....
i think this is another CLOSE circuit game...not free roam....
Nice gfx btw...
Let's see what NFS11 can give us in the future....

tbh.. i think thats good.
removes driving around for pointless tasks or shops or unneeded stuff like that
if i want free roam, i'll play TDU

Damn you, I was just about to post this!

Anyways, it seems it is using the same graphics engine which even in Juiced was really outdated. Hopefully they will fix the handling physics...

PS: How is that THQ is able to get licensing for Honda but EA can't...those lazy bastards...

hmm..I was optimistic about the first game, but it was a let down. Lets just wait and see..

I hope by the time it comes out, I would have already bought my ram and PSU for the new card, so I can play this one which looks great btw

To me, Juiced 1 sucked the fat one.

However, I DO like the sound of REAL cities (something I've been asking for for ages - hint, hint EA). I can just imagine caning it along Piccadilly, up Regent Street, terrifying the shoppers in Oxford Street and burning round Hyde Park Corner past No.1 London (Lord Nelson's house near Marble Arch - this is its actual postal address). Awesome.

Just as long as they sort out the appalling handling from the original game.

donaldgladden · Post by **donaldgladden** » 23 Feb 2007, 01:08

oh god. drift racing? i hope the drifting is natural other than the F&F game's drift engine.

Tuners Rock · Post by **Tuners Rock** » 23 Feb 2007, 02:07

hmmm, the first game was a bust, cant wait to see what this one is like

Post by **TheStig** » 23 Feb 2007, 02:40

I don't think the closed circuit system is a bad system, I choose a good prebuild track over a free roam system where they put in a point to point system as a track, any day.

most tracks in U2 MW and Carbon simply sucked compared to older nfs games like NFS 4 and U1.

PGR 2 and 3 also don't have free roam, but have to say some are pretty good, specially in PGR2

couldnt agree more

also, the tracks in J1 were quite good (excluding a few)

i hope they balance the cars more in J2
in the first game you cant beat a Subaru with a Supra and the V8 cars accelerated like shoppingcarts

and the viper was faaaaar too overpowered

Sweet-16 · Post by **Sweet-16** » 23 Feb 2007, 04:02

actually twin turbo vipers could reach 750 horsepower with the older models ('93-'02). the new vipers can reach 1200 with a twin turbo set up. in J1 i just used the vipers for the sprint races. sometimes i could win all 3 heats. i don't mind the closed circuit stuff either, like TheStig i miss all the old NFS games where it was preset tracks, just as long as the tracks are built well. NFS4 had some of the best tracks. and NFS2SE had a few good ones.

i'm also with a lot of people on the handling thing. it's just like Carbon. believe it or not, muscle cars do NOT slide around every corner just for turning the wheel. you really have to bring the torque out in it (slowing down, then goosing it too early in the turn) to get it to spin. i also noticed that subarus and other AWD cars in J1 handled like a puck on ice.

that may be so, but there was no other car that could even match the viper in J1
it was unfair, needs to be balanced
everything 499hp and higher was viper territory and it was unbeatable..
does that sound fair to you? it doesnt to me

race_invader · Post by **race_invader** » 23 Feb 2007, 15:59

Looking at the cars interior and stuff my brain clicked over and i suddenly thought of interior view...

Do you think it could be possible? coz the interior looks really detailed kinda like TDU and stuff and if there is interior customization then yeah ya get my point....

I think you need to play MCI, or MCII. A perfect example of how free-roam can be brilliant

Ha! That would be sweet!
