I agree with keiri on license plates, I'd like to see what people online have on their plates.

Well i have an idea. Why dont we post suggestions on what the official trailer might be like

Well heres my idea.
Black screen. You hear a car revving in the distance.
Suddenly NFSU style text flashes on the screen. It says
"Hold On For The Most Intense Thrill Of Your Life"
The Silver 350z smashes through the black screen and then you are brought into the NFSU2 world.
"Free Roam"
You see cars cruising the street, people standing by there massive audio systems, hot women posing in front of there cars.
"New Game Modes"
You see many cars Dragging, Drifting and doing circuits. People cheering on a guy as he's doing burnouts in front of them.
"Interactive Racers"
You see a Toyota Supra pull up to a Skyline and you walk out of your car

and challenge the guy to a race. He accepts and you both drive off.
"Massive Online Community"
A drive by camera shows many people discussing stuff about there cars, other people showing off and some people doing burnouts.
"Are You Ready?"
"Need For Speed Underground 2"

Well this is a nice trailer i made up

Oh well knowing EA it wont happen. I'd like to see wat u ppl make up.

NICE idea,i just imagined in my head that,and it would be great!!

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 08 Jun 2004, 19:33

Great idea! I modify it a bit:

1)The trailer would start with a flying camera, showing the city from sky and going fast down till arrive a big street.

2)You forgot to introduce "+30 cars". A video scene with the most important cars in game.

But your idea is perfect!!!

Summ · Post by **Summ** » 08 Jun 2004, 21:06

My idea would be a more simple and professional one, if anyone has played F1 2002, he knows pretty well what my intention is: to roll all the cars one after the other on one layer, the brands on another layer, maybe some ingame shots on the background continuously changing. Ingame footage could do well too.

the latest WRC start up movie is what you have in mind right? That's nice stuff.

Anyone agree with me when I say those neons suck? Couldn't they have stuck with the better looking, 2d textured ones? Oh well...

samurilos · Post by **samurilos** » 18 Jun 2004, 19:58

Those neons really look crappy, the neon light looks too pixalated, If it looked atleast like those neons used to signal planes then it would've have been ok. Or atleats like the neon in Juiced.

nightrider · Post by **nightrider** » 18 Jun 2004, 22:13

There's also more screens that are not in the screenshot area at

Hey nightrider - thx for the heads up here! Sheesh you think we might've checked the official site as well as those of the competition!! New screens are now added to the screenshots section.

Cheers, GT

nightrider · Post by **nightrider** » 18 Jun 2004, 23:37

I saw a 3000GT in that trailer, i want the game....

Thy_Wraith · Post by **Thy_Wraith** » 19 Jun 2004, 11:33

in the trailer i saw an Escalade, can we really drive it or is it just traffic
but the escalade drives a litke to fast for being traffic, I hope we can drive and tune SUV's.
It would be wicked.

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 19 Jun 2004, 11:34

i was watching the interview with the producer (think), great stuff, but i was kinda of hoping you could get out of the car, seems to me that to trigger a new race you just pull up to a guy on the side of the road, any way no big loss, hope you still see some1 jump out of the car - what else would scissor doors be for?

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 19 Jun 2004, 12:46

A few opinions:

--> ESCALADE is in game, you will be able to tune it and race it. I dont understand people who argue about Escalade in game. If you dont like Escalade, ignore it! I think it is funny to have different kind of cars to tune and modify. I would want to tune a lorry LOL

--> PDA navigating system confirmed, to guide you into the city. It also shows you where to find a race (I think). Interesting.

--> NORTH MOUNTAINS in the city are not to race sprints, as I thought. Its function is to celebrate Drift events here. Wow! No more stadium-circuits as in nfsu1. Well done, EA.

--> NOS discussion: I dont want to get N2O with style points... it is a stupid thing! I want to bet money, and then buy cars, parts, N2O, etc. Too bad, EA.

--> And finally, the WIN/LOSE system. If you win a race, you win. But if you lose, it is not logical to restart 20 times till you win, and finally being considered as the best driver in city (you have losed 19times and won 1time LOL). My idea is to unlock "Restart" option in Underground mode. If you lose a race, you lose money. When you lose all your money and your car, you will be kick off from city, and have to restart Underground mode. You can save game, sure! Restart option will be able at Individual race. This is the way to be IMO.
