screw the crowd! lets just hope that Juiced will have a better multiplayer system than NFSU! becaues the one on NFSU was ridiculous! the reflection on NFSU sux also it is too shiny and ugly looking, in my opinion Juiced has way better graphics than NFSU.

yea the damage factor is good, even though i cant for the life of me hit anything hard enough the back and frnt bumper actually physically fall off, they just hang on for dear life dont they!, yes ill agree the supra is so friggin hard to control, its a whole new kind of racing for me anyway,besides nfsu i really didnt play much racing games except for midnight club 2 which was hardly challenging, maybe juiced has become so life like im not actually able to realise it, i keep complaining about how crap the turning is and how crap the start is but physically in real life thats how it is, so it can go 2 ways, 1 like nfsu, it caters to wat we want, just speed spped speed speed and looks. whereas juiced is more relating to realism, like urq said, like a simulation, but id love to be able to turn off the crowds, they bug me big time, keeps reminding me of my days of playing ULTIMATE RACER 4, the horror! the horror! naah its all gd.. but for me definitely nfsu2, juiced is alright but just wasnt wat i thought it would be, i just dont like the menu screen and when u enter the game and all that the other selecting options, super childish looking, it just lks so cheap it aint funny, i mean al this is my OPINION so nobody take it to heart. so yea, nfsu2 for me

but ill most likely get my hands on juiced and SRS at the same time just for the hell of it.

I think the garage looks pretty sweet in Juiced (not the one in demo) that is shown in the Videos in the Demo section. Check it out, it's quite nice.

And the crowds dissapear when it's raining too.

Just out of interest, has anyone actually figured out which button is for nitrous yet?

I pressed every button on the keyboard and still didnt find it...

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 16 Jun 2004, 12:45

I tried too, but it looks to be disabled. Juiced should have at least published the controlls...
Here are the ones I only found:
V - View, 5 in total
B - Handbrake
End - Revers
Arrows - obviously...
Space bar - view back

Nitro - ?...

I thought so, would explain why the best Ive finished so far is second, he N2O'd me on the very last bit, nothing I could do. I'll get him back when I buy the full game though, revenge will be sweet...

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 16 Jun 2004, 15:15

When it's out, I'd love to play you online man. The multiplayer with clan part sound very sweet. And in this game you'll be able to imitate your car 95%!

well, i think that NFSU2 will be better anyway

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 16 Jun 2004, 18:27

Does anybody know the homepage of the game? (Juiced) I dont know the game, only few screenshots and some things written in this thread. I have an idea now, but I would like to visit the web.

And I am too lazy to download the demo, so dont tell me that solution

samurilos · Post by **samurilos** » 16 Jun 2004, 18:40

The demo wont start for me, I get a system error when i try runnning it, anyone else gets this and in the config, those info are filled out, so its not that.

Nice web... I like Flash presentations.
So with Juiced you can create a team and reclute drivers... wow. It is a nice idea. And I suppose you win money when racing and this. It is what I ask for, when talking about nfsu2.

I read a preview over at IGN (might find the link later), that had a part on crew racing. You can recruit your own crew, and tell them what car to use. You can bet on races, and even races that are not your own you can bet on - you can also spectate races that your not taking part in.

God that Supra is hard to get the hang of ...

I'm trying a new combo, using my joystick for steering, and the keyboard arrow up for acceleration ... accelerating on my joystick is firetruck, as it's pulling the joystick back instead of forth ... completely unlogical. Sadly i can't define controls whatsoever .. so I still have to work in two hand combo, which I found out is pretty comfortable actually ^^ Getting better results this way than with pure keyboard. At least now I've got pregressive steering ..

I'll hold you to that

If its any consellation summ, Supras handle a bit like that in real life too

No, no use. Like soemone said, its probobly disabled. Or its probly a series of simutanious buttons :/

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 17 Jun 2004, 20:30

Well, it is more than surely disabled. But not for the AI!

Look at this screenshot I took.

Also NOS effect is not the smooth motion blur of NFSU, but the violent shaking of the car when NOS applied, and your vision gets all distorted.

Looks bit funny. But ok. Since the demo is pretty old demo, I hope a lot will be ironed out.

NOw, about that MR2. It's there, but we don't get to race it... BUt AI did. Again, here are the pictures.

I won't post the NOS picture. Too see it, let the game get into 'demo' mode - just leave it running and don't press enter at the beggining. in a minute it will show one of the demo races (night with Supra, day with weaker toyotas). BTW, in both you see MR2 - red during day, yellow during night.

Whoha! This looks good! Nice NOS flame...

If you ask this in a NFS forum what do you think the answer will be? NFS du you need to ask this some where els, Some where that doesn't just focus on one game such as these two.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 24 Jun 2004, 17:19

Not necessarily, I prefer juiced so far

Im downloading the demo from this site, it works

Tonight I will tell you my opinion. Now I go Elena's home

toineed · Post by **toineed** » 24 Jun 2004, 18:04

Well i played the demo two. But the game sucks in almost every way!
The graphics look like they made the game ages ago!!
The game only wants to ride along with the succes of nfsu. The cars look pretty nice but overall it sucks badly!!!
