Wow, apparently this is gonna be a pretty cool game. Judging from the screenshot the graphics are gonna be pretty good, and they're gonna have some pretty sweet customization options.



However, also judging by the amount of detail in the screenshot, you will probably need a powerful card in order to get good, smooth performance. I hope my GeForce FX 5200 can handle it lol. After its little power boost (which is still myserious) I trust it will.

anyway, back to the game:

QUOTE
Need for Speed Underground 2 will challenge gamers to immerse themselves in the tuner culture, exploring an expansive, free-roaming city divided into five distinct neighbourhoods. Gamers will encounter rival racers who will initiate events, tip players off to the hottest racing spots, and show them where to buy the most sought-after licensed aftermarket upgrades.

The game will feature new game modes, deep new performance customisation and tuning, and more than 30 licensed cars. The game also delivers twice the visual customisation upgrades as the original game, providing a staggering 70 billion possible car combinations for total automotive self-expression.

Need for Speed Underground 2 is currently under development by EA Canada and is scheduled for release in fall 2004 for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, PC, and Game Boy® Advance. This game has not yet been rated by the ESRB.


sounds good, cant wait!

Did this little power boost come after a driver change, by any chance? winkiss.gif

nVidia has driver optimizations in most of there newer drivers which many people complain about. That's ONE reason I never bought an FX and got my 9800Pro. So far, the GF6800 has stayed clean of any "bad" optimizations, this makes me very yes.gif

Oh yes, about the game. It should rock. The first one did. But then again, all NFS's rocked to an extent. icon_twisted.gif

Yeah, but you can still only go so far with chicken wire, carbon fiber decal-tape, and colored duct tape... even if it IS virtual. icon_biggrin.gif

Oh well. At least if they're racing on their computers, they'll stay off the streets (I hope).

More news guys, they hired a chick named "Brook Burkes" as one of the main characters in NFSU2. She used to work on an assignment on E! Entertainment and that looks pretty good.

Also, there is going to be a in which you can freely roam around, said to be over 200 KM of drivable road. There's virtually endless possibilities with customization in this one. You can buy little tweaks here and there, or you can buy a whole performance kit for ease. Personally, I'm gonna love the scissor doors icon_biggrin.gif

thumbup1.gif It's Brooke Burke, if you've ever seen the show Wild On during the first season, she was the host. She is also one of the women who appear in more than half the swimsuit catalogs ever made. And thanks to the Guess that celebrity cup-size game on Newgrounds.com, I also happen to know she has 32C's. Finally, more and more famous actors are being used in video games...

New news guys, the second trailer is out... and its sweeeet. check it
NFSU2 Trailer

Game's out, lookin good. Check out some of the cars I've made (I know some may not be to your liking, I'm gonna change the skyline as soon as I have the cash for it.)

the demo BLOWS

The car physics sucks too

Get Burnout 3 Takedown on XBox if you want a FANTASTIC racer with crash deformation and all

I'll guarantee you that trailier is NOT in-game graphics.... just another f'in movie

I hate NFS forever... what a dung heap. I like to SMASH cars.. these crash, but since they are models of brand name cars, the manufacturers will never let them smash the hell out of the car.

Like I said for racing... Burnout 3: Takedown

I am also trying Forza racing.. ultra realistic simulation... but again, no smashing cause they are models of brand name cars
mew905
it's true the NFS series was a hell of alot better when damage was involved, and you brought up the reason why they wont anymore... icon_cry.gif it's sad really, if they could just put in damage (or someone makes a damage mod) then that'd make the game WAYYY better (I always wanted to know how my car would look after smashing into a wall at 350 KPh
Mandark
I've been playing the Forza Racing demo and there is damage but not catastrophic damage like in Burnout 3

Wow this game is just like amazing such good graphics on the computer im thinking of getting this for my computer but im wonderin how long did it take you guys to make those sick cars?

Jan 2, '07?

Dude you're way behind the times, this is NFS 8 (Underground 2), NFS Most Wanted (NFS 9) and the new, killer game, NFS Carbon (NFS 10) are already out. Should see some cars I got goin on in there and the kind of sick graphics it's got. Look around on google for screenshots of Carbon. NFS 11 is already in the works, no news on the name yet though, but with DX10 cards already out, chances are it's gonna have some deadly graphics options as well as sweet gfx for the older cards (GF 7 and Radeon x1000 series and lower). I'm a little behind the times right now, stuck with my GeForce FX Go5200 again (my grandpa wouldnt let me take my computer with the 6600GT in it icon_cry.gif) but I'm lookin to buyin a budget comp with 1GB RAM, Athlon 64 3200+ S939, 250GB SATA HDD, and my personal fave part: The GeForce 7600GT (probably wont grab one until the 8600 series comes out to push the 7600 down. Supposed to be comin out next month)

Love playing this game I finished it for how many times but still I love playing it.

Most Wanted is the best NFS game so far. Way better even than Pro Street.
