Hey Speak how come you always come off pissy whenever you post something

Stay on topic. Warning #1 -- And just because I have an opinion and I'm a mod means I can't share it? I'll sound exactly like I want to and if you don't like it then you don't have to read my posts.

If you don't like the SUVs, then don't use them. I didn't like the Neon in the first one so I didn't drive it. Simple.

How do we differentiate between a PS2 screeshots, Xbox screenshots and PC screenshots?

Abdi · Post by **Abdi** » 16 Sep 2004, 11:19

If you look at the PC screenshots, they have AA(Anti-Aliasing) on which makes the edges of the models smooth and not jaggy. But the edges on the console models are jaggy because consoles dont support AA

Here is an example:

Another sugestion:
A feature that allows you to remove/keep the badge (not depending on which bumper you install). Smth like this:

Very nice... Good thinking Dani!! I never thought of that. No news about the DEMO for PC.... There're some speculations that the DEMO might not even be released for the PC..

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 16 Sep 2004, 15:39

lol that speculation is total BS. There will be a demo for PC, after the demo for PS2, everyone just needs to chill out.

@BluePhirePB: Ok so lets see... because you do support SUV's, your allowed to make posts about them stating that you like them. But because I do not like SUV's I'm not allowed to say anything about it? Yeah whatever.

Hey read it carefully. I said if you don't like SUVs don't use them. Not shut up about them.

You only made that comment in order to make it seem like what I was saying was stupid. Obviously if I dislike something I'm not going to use it, but just because I dislike something and don't use it, that doesn't mean I'm not going to say something about it. If you like it then use it and S T F U -Sp3aK

@Sp3ak

The demo is on the Burnout 3 disc..

SharkPower · Post by **SharkPower** » 16 Sep 2004, 17:55

why is everybody so HYPED about a DEMO....

I really don't get it... it's a tiny little part of the game... it will keep you busy for... I don't know.... maybe even minutes.....

I know I am going to wait for the full game and nothing else...

I know I downloaded the Juiced demo cause I did not know the game...at all

People are so HYPED about a demo because they really need to play the game.. Actually, this demo can keep you busy for a hour. It's fun to explore this little part of the city, and challenge others for an Outrun.

Ya, I'm hoping the demo comes out soon too. I wanna see what changes they've made compared to the first one besides the map.

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 16 Sep 2004, 22:19

what do you mean, so hyped about the demo?
Demo's are great way to find out about physics, sounds or what do I know else...

If you have a weak graphicard(r9000), why should I buy a full version if demo runs a slideshow? Demo's are very useful if you ask me.

But come on... a escalade (???). That's almost like Transit in CMR4; just for fun... come on

I'm looking forward to audi TT or that new mustang, but an escalade???

Post by **TheStig** » 16 Sep 2004, 22:24

well I'm not so interested in if it will run... still got my 9800XT so it will run fine, and well some other aspects.... like sound... I don't believe all that anymore... cause the sound of the underground demo wasn't the same as the orig game... it was better....

enjoy · Post by **enjoy** » 16 Sep 2004, 22:43

I would very much like to see how much the graphics are improved in this game compared to the first one..
You can't really see it on a screen shot, and the videos are too small... So the only way is a demo...

And why don't they release a full screen 1024*768 in game video... how hard can it be.. ??

Nowadays with all the surround sound hype. its hard to tell the difference between 5.1 and 7.1..your ears cant hear a difference...well only if ones on your butt...(that way youll know if your sitting on a squirrel during a drag)

Mate, it all depends on your Graphic Card too. You'll need to have the minimun requirements or even much better in order to enjoy good graphics.

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 17 Sep 2004, 00:36

You guys are forgetting that the demo doesn't have the same systeem requirements as the full version. A demo is always off lower quality then the FV

Sp3aK · Post by **Sp3aK** » 17 Sep 2004, 01:35

Truth to all of the above.

The demo is kickass because of free-roam. The graphics are better IMO, but the overall look of the game is still quite cartoonish, which is something I was hoping would end but alas, it hasn't. That's why I was interested in JUICED.

Anyways.... Yeah alot depends on your specific system setup, I've got a 128mb ATI Radeon 9800+ PRO so I have no worries and I can crank everything up to HIGH and still see it smoothly.

Plus what D-O-R said is like 110% true.

Well, EA did say that this was an arcade game which is why they didn't try to make it look real. But you're right; as far as graphics go, Juiced has it made.

Texhnolith · Post by **Texhnolith** » 17 Sep 2004, 09:12

The PC demo of juiced I played was plain horrible on the pyshics.
The graphics of the tracks (buildings etc) was quite poor.
Only good thing was the car models.
