hey all just wondering if anyone could answer a question i have about nfs ug 2 ... will there be clear bonnets or the option not to have one ? cause in ug 1 they put so much effort into the engine models and you never really saw them at all.
hope some one knows something about this

i havent seen a clear hood, but they will open in a few diff ways, eg. double doors, or hinged at the front. i think its part of the car show type stuff, like the stereo gear and spinners.
i just looked at the new screens and 1 car had a chingy vinyl, so i guess hes on the soundtrack.

Ok guys, I got some good half-official news for you. PC demo is due to be released in october!
Rumors say It should be out in a week or two.

Yahooo!! Thx for the info!

pantsonnos · Post by **pantsonnos** » 12 Oct 2004, 14:07

ive been wait for ages for the demo

its going to be great

another question with the hydralics do you think youll be able to adjust them while racing ? like have em low for the straights and up a bit for shortcuts throught construction etc.

thanks for all the help on the clear or no bonnet issue

That's sweet i hope the PC demo is bette then the PS2 demo that i have now

Looking forward to the demo

Another thing: I've read in several interviews and comments of ppl that in NFSU2 u can tune ur car so it can match the performance of most (?) cars. So we could have a race w/ fairly equal cars. But I've been checking these screenshots out, and I hope I will still understand how to tune a car! Looks kinda difficult, cuz there's a lot u have to keep in mind: different racetypes, weatherconditions, tracks & aerodynamics, engine, transmission etc etc etc

Anyone else confused???

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 12 Oct 2004, 16:24

They have said the game is for everyone. For the non-tuners and the freaks. So I guess that won't be a big problem.

Killer Instinct · Post by **Killer Instinct** » 12 Oct 2004, 16:37

yeah, I'd like it if it had two tuning options, beginner and advanced. That would be great for both newbie tuners and fine-tuning freaks.

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 12 Oct 2004, 16:47

It will be in that way. EA said that there will be fine tuning to experts, and "pre-made packs" (just like nfsu1) for beginner ppl.
Anyway I think there will be 'tutorials', Im sure Rachel or the other character will teach us some things

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 12 Oct 2004, 16:50

No, actually there's a HELP button to guide you through, I saw it in some of the screenshots.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 12 Oct 2004, 16:52

Finally PC demo will be out, but 2 weeks are alot, the game will be released in about 5 weeks.

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 12 Oct 2004, 16:57

Post some screenshots will ya? I'll be away, and I can't play it... Hehe... SO screenshots is good enough from the PC Demo.

lol, I'll be hitting it a lot I guess. Don't get me wrong: I'll be spending a lot of time on the dyno and in the testenvironment to see what setting can make ur car go faster. I mean, besides the mechanic innards like engine, turbo etc, what about the aerodynamics? Does spoiler X squeeze that couple of 10ths out of ur car and spoiler Y doesn't??? And how many combinations are we going to get, like couple of millions orso...?

If that is the case I'm going to buy a new coffeemachine along w/ the game

But it sure sounds good; I'm so curious...

samurilos · Post by **samurilos** » 12 Oct 2004, 17:12

A demo, finally, I don't care how few the weeks seperate the demo from the full game, seeing as i won't get to buy it till December a demo would be good enough for now. I really hope its true, seeing as theres a demo for ps2 and x-box, it'd only be fair to release a pc demo also @Bojan

Radiokrimen · Post by **Radiokrimen** » 12 Oct 2004, 17:24

thank you Andre

Post by **TheStig** » 12 Oct 2004, 18:34

it came straight for EA

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 12 Oct 2004, 20:10

I hope EA hasn't put a timer in the demo like the PS2 version after 15 to 20 minutes you have to reset the demo on PS2 i hope they didn't do that with the PC version of the demo

Post by **TheStig** » 12 Oct 2004, 20:36

I don't know if Speak had that with his version he got from EA. (PS2 version that is)

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 12 Oct 2004, 20:39

Damn, that sucks. Why should the put a timer in it? For shop use or something?

My guess is that that one has not. Only the Burnout 3 version has the timer.
