Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights

I think that means it is a DX10 game... there may be some type of way to get it to run on XP by upgrading only certain parts of DX9, the same way some games need some parts of DX9 in-order to run on DX10.

It's good that I have Vista...

But it's a bad thing for the XP users.

Okay, sorry it came across that way. This is being released for PSP is it? If so I might get so that I can play it when I go to the Gamman ranges in Sep.

Yep its coming out on PSP all consoles you can pretty much say...

@Carcrazy: Well when the PC requirements get released we will see if people need vista.

new preview + 2 gameplay vids (lol @ this guys driving)

interesting quote from it (this better be for pc too ffs

):

Racing fans who just can't wait to get Juiced up should be pleased to learn that a new Juiced 2 demo will be available on September 6 over Xbox Live. Playable both online and off, the demo will allow players to sample some of the full game's best drifting tracks, as well as try their hand at car customization.

Ahh! I love THQ it's great that they added player customization.

also 'YaelDjiel' that quote about the demo tells me its a Final demo of what the game will be like since the demo for X360 right now has some paint problems and shadows are pixelated & was released ages ago, I've also noticed in the new pics they fixed the duel exhaust pipes when using nitrous.

For some reason, I doubt you'll be getting Juiced 2 in September, race_invader:

Hopefully they're wrong or it's only for America, but otherwise I'm extremely pissed, not only the Juiced 2 bit but also the apparent "Stuntman canned" thing.

Article wrote:PS-Gamer reports that PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable owners will have to wait a bit longer until they get their hands on Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (DS, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360).

According to THQ's latest release schedule, Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights' release date for the aforementioned platforms has been moved to October. The multiplatform racing game's September release date for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 is apparently still a go, though.

Thats just America i guess, also it says Xbox 360 version is still a go which means the only versions going to be released are Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PS2 until October so PS3, PSP users have to wait, im getting the Xbox 360 version so im all good if this stands for Australia too.

also i've noticed that PC hasn't even been mentioned in that article at all.

I hope they don't kill the PC version.I'm really looking forward to this one.

taz947 · Post by **taz947** » 13 Aug 2007, 09:04

WTF?why the PC version wasn't mentioned in that article?

Like Ginix said,I hope that they won't cancel the PC version.

race_invader · Post by **race_invader** » 13 Aug 2007, 09:31

Well also if you look at the link of the artical is says

http://ps3.qj.net/PS3-PSP-versions-of-Juiced-2-Hot-Import-Nights-delayed-Stuntman-Ignition-nowhere-in-sight/pg/49/aid/99776

In the link it pretty much just says PS3/PSP so really that article is just about PS3 and PSP so other consoles It will be released in September, also that might be the reason PC didn't get mentioned.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 13 Aug 2007, 13:34

Yeah, I kinda failed to mention that. Sorry.

race_invader · Post by **race_invader** » 13 Aug 2007, 14:35

That's alright

although i have know idea why you said "I doubt you'll be getting Juiced 2 in September, race_invader" seeing since im getting the X360 version

i won't have to wait.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 13 Aug 2007, 14:49

Yeah, kinda forgot you had X360 hehe. Sorry bout that too.

GINIX_2007 · Post by **GINIX_2007** » 14 Aug 2007, 04:34

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 14 Aug 2007, 12:03

nice screens

DAMN you Juice Games for making damage visual only >_<

heh, that guy playing @GS is a lot better than the guy @IGN

Just watched the new video's i saw a Fiat Punto but i can't see the bum of it to actually confirm.

also during half way of the video someone sign's in

so that footage might be from the final demo.

Edit: I forgot if the car is in the game but anyways, if the 350Z gets put in juiced 2 im wondering would they put the roadster or the Fairlady Z...

Edit2: Played the demo again, ive just noticed that along with damage the tire walls fall apart when you hit them with tires just rolling around etc, and your rims can get all buckled and dirty from the impact of other cars or walls.

I found a new article (I think) they talk about what is in the new demo coming out and multiplayer options etc and the demo is only for Xbox 360!i think but anyways sorry guys!

Gamespot Article wrote: A few days ago, after receiving a new work-in-progress Xbox 360 version of Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights in the mail, we were invited to spend an hour or so checking out some of the game's online features alongside staffers from THQ and a handful of other media outlets. We had an opportunity to check out a couple of different competition types on two very different circuits, but first, of course, we had to customize our car and create a driver avatar to sit behind the wheel.

Actually, your avatar in Juiced 2 does a lot more than just sit behind the wheel of whatever you're driving. He or she will stand around looking uncomfortable in a club filled with pole dancers while you choose your next event, will celebrate on the podium when you win races, and, among other things, will line up alongside the opponents before each race while you decide which of them you might want to place bets with. Even in the relatively short amount of time that we were afforded to customize our drivers, everyone in our group managed to create someone with a different look. The driver editing tools are easy to use but quite powerful, giving you the freedom to perform virtual plastic surgery on everything from noses and mouths to brows and cheekbones. There are also several different items of clothing to choose from when you start the game, and that number is sure to grow as your career progresses.

The cars in Juiced 2 offer an even more impressive array of customization options, and after opting for a somewhat underpowered Toyota MR-S, we set about transforming it into something that would hardly be recognizable as the same car from the showroom, in terms of both its appearance and its performance. The first thing we did was replace the standard bumpers, hood, trunk, mirrors, headlights, rear spoiler, and side skirts with licensed aftermarket parts, of which we generally had at least four or five each available to choose from. Next up were the rims, which we chose from an almost intimidatingly large selection, and a coat of paint far more fetching than the gray that, as far as we could tell, was the only color available at the Toyota dealership. The customization was all very easy up to this point, but became a little more confusing when we tried to apply decals to our creation.

Car damage is clearly not a taboo in Juiced 2.

Decals in Juiced 2 are sorted into the usual categories, such as flames, stripes, manufacturer logos, and geometric shapes. In addition to those, there are at least a few dozen (that we saw) themed decal packs to unlock, which feature great-looking artwork depicting robots, anime-style characters, skulls, and the like. The themed decal packs make it easy to achieve a finished-looking car in minutes, though in using them online you'll certainly run the risk of competing with players who've opted for very similar designs.

Among the event types that you'll be able to play online will be the two that we tried out: Circuit Racing and Drift Obliterator. Circuit Racing, predictably, is a straightforward race to the finish, and the only feature that really sets it apart from a garden-variety racer is that you need to drift around corners in order to accumulate nitrous for speed boosts. The track that we raced on, Nitrous Maximus, was set in and around a caricature of Rome, complete with the Colosseum. Drift Obliterator is a more interesting mode in which, while attempting to be the first across the finish line, you're required to score a certain number of drift points on each lap to stay in the race. The points don't play any part in determining your position, but if you fail to score the required total on any lap, then you're eliminated. The Frost Bite circuit we were drifting on was relatively short, with only a handful of corners, but because it was icy we had no trouble getting drifts started. The hard part was sliding around corners without colliding with barriers or opponents, which would result in us losing any points accrued for the current drift.

In addition to those of us who were racing, a number of THQ staffers were serving as spectators, and they were able to influence the outcome somewhat by cheering and booing specific drivers. Quite how significant the effect is of having spectators cheer and/or boo you (which each spectator can do up to three times per lap) isn't clear, but when we were cheered on while bringing up the rear of the field during one race, we definitely noticed our nitrous bar filling up as a result.

Everyone drifts, all the time! It's impossible to drive straight!

A new Juiced 2 multiplayer demo is scheduled for release on Xbox Live on September 6, and will include at least two tracks (Rome: Gladiator's Shadow and Sydney: The Phantom) and at least four cars (Nissan 350Z, BMW M3, Holden Monaro, and Saleen Mustang). You'll also have an opportunity to customize your avatar and chosen car.

Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights should be arriving in stores toward the end of September. We look forward to bringing you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available.
