NFSU2 Previews

Post by **SuperRacer** » 18 Aug 2004, 06:50

GameSpot has posted a new hands-on preview of NFS: Underground 2. Check it out here.

Ign has posted 12 new gameplay movies featuring a silver RX-8 and more screens.
Check it out
here

And some of those videos feature the silver car driftin in a stadium!

It looks like this time drifting will be done in stadiums just like in real life!

Thanks SuperRacer.

Thanks.

But what cars are these.. I bet the car in the back is a Corsa.

The green one has a spoiler I've never seen.

BTW, I'm talking about a Opel Corsa. I don't know the name of it with Vauxhall.. Just to avoid confusion.

Which new car? The silver one? That's a RX-8.

Thanks for posting the links.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 18 Aug 2004, 07:59

The silver car is an RX-8

with horrible body kit , ive downloaded one of the movies.

It might look good with a spoiler, but the booty is scary.

MikeFarrar · Post by **MikeFarrar** » 18 Aug 2004, 08:02

hmmm i couldn't see what it was coz of the horrible camera angles and that crappy body kit. Hehe. and btw i've edited the post.

Hey nice news!
About unknown car discussion, I thought it was a Celica... each one of us think a different thing lol.
Now I see the GT emblem here in the rear so it can't be a Celica. Maybe you are right and it is a Mustang. I this case, bad EA!!
Edited: BTW, why the hells they re-placed the map in the game display??? ow it is very close to the car, it sucks!! (IMO)

I am afraid that the new widebodykits in the game are as horrible as can be.

StreekG · Post by **StreekG** » 18 Aug 2004, 11:44

holy crap, the 2005 mustang!!! that is so cool... i love that car... looks real agressive with that body kit too, i like it...

From what I see in the video, if we keep on drafting during Drag Races, we will have unlimited Nitrous Oxide...

Oh, BTW Dani, the footage you saw on IGN and GameSpot were all taken from Xbox, the GUI is a little different from the PS2 version.

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 18 Aug 2004, 12:52

I hope the GUI on the PC version is better then that off the Xbox or PS2

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 18 Aug 2004, 19:02

I hope so DoR, and yeah, the GUI of xbox is diffrent than pc, thats why the dimensions of the RX-8 was so small i think, the Audis too, something wrong with their dimensions, anyway, i loved the way of driving of the RX-8, didnt wanna hit as much as possible

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 18 Aug 2004, 19:29

man... the bodykit on rx8 looks horible...

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 18 Aug 2004, 19:38

yeah, its horrible, but the most realistic thing in this game is the sounds of the engine and the gears.

Xzidique · Post by **Xzidique** » 18 Aug 2004, 20:53

Here it is.....A veilside CELICA

Xzidique · Post by **Xzidique** » 18 Aug 2004, 20:54

The bad thing that EA did is that did not put official Body kits from APR, Veilside, C-West, Ings....Extreme Dimensions and SO...But the Car Engine Sounds ARE AMAZING!!!!!3 points on that EA!!!!!

I hope the NFS community will dig out a tool For making our own bodykits......

It's more likely to see EA giving NFSU2 out for free to anyone that that.

Good thing about Mustang GT (it's not a concept, it's for sale) - I really like that car. And the car upfront looks like some Fiesta or Corsa or some other tiny p.o.s.

Xzidique · Post by **Xzidique** » 18 Aug 2004, 21:05

From UrQuattro's mouth to EA's ear.....!!!! THEY MUST RELEASE A TOOL FOR BODYKIT CREATION/EDITING....

Thank you for your information SuperRacer.

Yeah, that would be easier if it was 2D. But it's 3D. Try working with Maya and you know what I mean.

If EA can do it, chances are we can do it 10 times better. 3DSmax isn't very difficult to figure out, it's certainly do-able.

exonn · Post by **exonn** » 19 Aug 2004, 12:04

dont thikn taht EA will give us that tool but it wuld be nice... anyway, hope that vinyls still be in DDS format...
