we are w8ing Nemessi for ur review

..:: peace ::..
Jeba

hey dloaded the demo today will post some shots here

W

Still i am not able to download te demo....give me the exact url in YIM today

N

sorry 4 taking so long guys....but here goes my review.....

it is one hell of a game....
the graphics have been improved quite a lot. the gameplay is a lil slower..i mean the car felt a little heavier but then again it may b so bcoz the cars they give in the demo r not fully tricked out. the demo gives 3 game modes and a choice of 4 variants of the nissan 350Z. u can either select circuit mode or drift mode or free roam (new mode). the drift is on a city street not some cut off area...so it is even tougher. circuit is just a normal race against 3 cpu players....

but the best part is the free roam mode...basically u can drive the around the city (a few areas r closed bcoz this is a demo) and accept random challenges frm other racers 2 an outrun race...u gotta get ahead by at least 300m 2 win an outrun race....u now have a cell phone which gets smses and stuff....u have shops spread around the city where u can get parts 4 ur car and get visual upgrades. also, instead of following a set path, u now drive around the city and u will come across different races. u can accept the challenge and race....in the demo, there is 1 circuit challenge and 1 drift challenge which r the same as the separate drift and circuit races....

they have included online play with the demo...u can race with other players online upto a max of 4 players per race....they have 3 tracks frm the game soundtrack here....

all in all, i did not have any trouble with the game...but i guess u should not download it and wait 4 the full game....man i cant wait until it comes out....and i also finished doom 3 so i can play nfs!!!!!

W

hey one of my frnd's frnd say...he has got the FULL Version of tht Game...is it possible ??

he says he downloaded it ..

G

if cud know the url...we can confirm its full version. The full version is expected to be something around 2 GB !

And also guys, please dont waste ur presious b/w and current downloading NFS U2 ! Digit will be providing them soon... I guess :lol:

Or we can also post a demand !! What do say ?

W

Ye i also got tht...

he said it is around 1 GB...

anywyz I hav asked him......hop i get it asap

G

The previous version was already about 1.9 GB, this will be atleast 2.5 GB, who cares, I have given 3.65 given to Doom3, I don't mind giving for it

PS - NFS Underground 2 wallpaper is about to release, made by me

N

underground 2 is available on p2p netwroks....and i think it asks 4 2GB...read it somewhere...cant seem 2 remember where...

G

so how abt starting a thread and posting a request to digit to provide us a demo version NFS U2 ?

P

collin mcrae rally is available only on dvd -it's a realistic simulation
where as nfs underground is not that realistic but a fun game with
a neat story line -last time they had 113 missions in it i wonder how
many will they pack in this time

Hey guys

I may get UG2 nex week

Its 70% sure

A

allajunaki's Review

OK guys here is my review.
I downloaded the game on the second day after its launch..

--Intro--
Need For Speed Underground 2(NFS8) is a sequel to hugley popular Need For Speed Underground (NFS7). NFS:UG was a revolutionary in NFS series ,as for the first time they (NFS Developers) chucked out ferraris and Porches for street cars. Its no big secret that its heavily inspired by 'Fast And The Furious' (F&F , 2F2F) Movies.
Original NFS UG was good, So good that i completed the game 3 times (playing for the fourth time!!). And it prompted me to change my Via board to an Intel7205 Board,OverClock the processor (1.6Ghz -> 2Ghz) and Chuck out my GF4MX Card to GF4Ti4400 (So that i can see all the cool motion blur)

So my anticipation was high for this game..
So when I learned bout the demo release, used my hack to get 540Kbps and headed straight for the downloads... So here goes my review

--First Impression--
So when i first fired up the game , I was like cool intor video. then they showed me a green Nissan 350z. The interface has a much more polished look. Its easy to use and looks cool , if not the coolest.
So went for the biggest feature in the game , Free Roam Mode.
Free Roam mode is awesome (in the lines of Midnight Racer 2). Here you travel to places for various modifications and accessories.
You now recieve tips and clues as SMS's, which is quite neat.
In free Roam u have conventional Races also. You just have to travel to those hotspots and accept the Race (Drift and Circuit in demo).
Another Racing Mode (that can only be accessed in free roam mode) is Outrun. Here u engage with random Modders on the road and then you try to outrun them. Cool thing about outrun is that u are not restricted to any particular way. whoever is leading the race gest to choose the path. U win the race by managing to put a gap of 100feet between u and ur opponenet

Another Feature that I missed sorely from NFS6 on is Replay function (NFS6 had replay but its absolutley useless one). UG2 has a Very good replay function. (so u can see how u have done and see all ur mods in action). I wish they implemented Replay in outrun mode also..((replay only applies to Circuit and Drift in Demo)

--Graphics--
Graphics looks a lot mature now. Polygon count is a lot higher now. One thing i like now is they have become a lot more sensible with motion blur. NFS UG1 had nice motion blur. But they made u almost blind at full speed. UG2 has a more sensible blur. Even Reflections on the car has been improved (they no longer look like mirrors) even track side reflections has improved (tey to dont look like mirrors)
Nitrous Blast also has the 'blue tone' which was there in NFS UG1 for Playstaion2. Anyways They have managed to use Pixel Shaders More sensibly than in UG1.
GF4Ti is begining to show its age in this game.. But still holds on well , My entire PC is a lil old. But it somehow manages to hold on well.

(My Config is P4 - 2.03Ghz , 256MB DDR266 in dual Channel DDR, Asus p4G8x(Intel7205) , GeForce4Ti4400 128MB DDR,)
Medium settings performs good enough (800x600) .

P

hmm....
Looks cool.
I think the NFSU2 demo will surely be included in the Dec. DVD.

F

Well guys its very demanding game. If you are using onboard video then dont even trouble yourself to download demo.
Even if you are using DX8 graphic card like GF4 and GF3 you are missing lots of effects.
Music is simply mindblowing, cars now actiualy sound different from eachother.
Graphics are good, but basically extension of UG1. But overall game is now as it should have been. Actiual street racing. You can roam in city to find people to race with ya.
Good game, must buy for NFS fans.

R

the full games been leaked.... u no where to find it...

G

Hmm, I wonder will my 3 months old FX5900XT be able to hold up, thats preety good in other games

Those who have got the game & a GeForce card, plz download the latest drivers & the updated patch 1.1 for NFSU2 & inform here how is the performance & quality as 66.93 drivers had some image quality issues with NFSU2

For more mirrors go here

*www.3dgamers.com/dlexit/xlontech/games/needforspeed8/nfsug2v1-1us.exe.html

P

ur worried about ur 3month old card so hat am i supposed 2 do with
my 1 year old geforce fx5200

yeah U2 has been leaked and I know where to find it but currently downloading beyond good and evil. 2.4 gb takes 2 weeks on my dial up.

All I played was NFS3,4 and nfsu1 demos and nfs5 and nfshp2 full. I want ask whether it has a story which requires knowledge of nfsu1. Also r there any babes. I heard that brooke burke is featured.

N

yes brooke burke is there...but only as art work...but u will hear all the time....plus, the underground league mode has 150 races....damn...it is so expensive out here...$40 4 the PC version...and $50 4 the xbox, PS2 and gamecube...it is also being released 4 the gameboy 4 $30....i will have 2 wait until prices drop....

Hell its already on sale at bazee see here

G

For those who want to download the patch here is a link to a lot of servers

*www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/needforspeed8/nfsug2v1-1us.exe.html

Download size is 4.8 MB

Such an expensive pirated versions. Also indicative market price is wrong coz its Rs 90 in mumbai. (I meant the version he is selling)

F

make it 70bucks. I know a person who sells for 70/cd.
But i will read more reviews. if it has good multiplayer I will get original copy. I have original copy of NFSU1 as i love to race online with people.
I will be getting original HL2 too.

M

It comes with 2CDs of NFSU2 and 1 DVD of The Sims 2 , in Mumbai and even BLR , it's not out yet !

whoa man games not out but still on sale what has the world become man.

N

indicative market seems 2 b very wrong....last year, NFSU started off at Rs. 1299/- and its US price 4 the PC version is $39.99...so 3000 seems 2 b way off...and since it has already been leaked, those with fast connections can get the game 4 free.....and the bid closes in 6 days....so lotsa time b4 the game releases...at least in the US....it is probably a pirated copy...and at 300, it is an expemsive pirated copy....

S

i got it on my hdd and it roxxxxxxxxxx people i love it

P

i just rent it for 20 bucks!! - and copy usin clone cd.

Hey Guys

I am gettin Need for Speed Underground 2 on tuesday..

For more info PM me

Send me the screenshots of the babes

F

i said i know the guy. I dont buy anything from him.
I buy limited but retail games. We have a group. we buy games and share them.
Mostly i am interested in playing games online so pirated games dosent make any sense to me.

G

Those who already own the game, plz post the bugs U R facing here, with the configuration of your PC, CPU RAM & GFX card

Also this will be fun, post your cars here, lets burn the others..

For best result plz take a screenshot from the garage & downscale it to 640X480 & use high JPG compression, try to maintain the size below 50 KB

We must know that what are the problems one might face with these games, this will help other FX, & Radeon users

C

nahhh ug will be dark na
and anyways tht fraps is too crappy it cant churn out a good quality vid
:evil:

G

GX, u need to turn up your gamma a few notches....It's really dark.

Hey guys i got serious problem with my NFS-U2, when i buy any neon lights or headlights or nitrous purge for my car's i am not able to see those lights.Its the same even after buying them,but have to buy them to increase the reputation.Anyone here with the same problem???

Is the problem with my graphic card?Its GEFORCE2 MX400 with lastest drivers installed.
I even played the first NFS Underground,but had no such problem that time.Any solution plss.

G

The game itself is dark, i don't know how to change the gamma in it, besides , i will in a parking lot with no card & no lights, so it is dark

Fraps in it's shareware version used uncompressed avi encoding, the resulting file was 800x600, whiel being 670 mb for only 30 secs, i had to edit & cut the extra part to compress & lower the resolution, so it came down to 500 kb

A

can i run this game at slow computer with some software
thanks

U will not be able to See lights coz it needs Shaders... (GF2MX = No shaders)
And no Smoke (Nitrous Purge) b'coz U have Particles OFF
and yeah NFS U2 needs a DX9 card for all effects. GF2 is DX 7 Card (or is it DX6?)

Yaaa right said .........Direct X 9 absoultly need ...least even direct x 8 .
Anyway its worth if ur upgrading to direct x9 card.
NFS 2 underground is a rocker

H

in a problem...

i am on the verge of comepleting stage 4 (coal harbour)...but there is a problem...

The region Completion Status = 100%
World EVent Wins = 32/30
URL event wins = 4/5
DVD = 2/3

now i understand that i have to win one more URL event...but there only DRAG's on the map...NO URL races...WHAT SHUD I DO!!??

well play all the drag races then mebbe brooke will interupt at some point and the last one wod get unlocked

all the URL events are not seen from the starting

H

one more problem...

DUDE....i am not good at DRAG's.....

and moreover..i have completed all the world events...anyone knows the locations of URL races in the city...

Re: one more problem...

hearthacker said:
DUDE....i am not good at DRAG's.....

and moreover..i have completed all the world events...anyone knows the locations of URL races in the city...

Drags and Drifts are the two most easiest races in NFS!!!

Here is a tip from me

Don't worry about the perfect shift for the first time... just step full on your gas and let u get an over shift... and then U should practice to get perfect timing for the second shift... believe me ... if you get the first shift to over and second shift to perfect u'll always be in the lead...

Unless u are driving your mom's car....

Tell me if U have any more problems...

H

drifts are easy but drags...no...i have even tried the cheats but everytime i hit something and i get totalled...

so...PLEASE...i need locations of url races...

Drags r my speciality man i love drags. Didn't play NFS UG2 tho was an ace at drags in NFSU.

G

Does anyone know how to rip the songs in UG2? The trax simply rocks!!

H

i am doing it...

i am ripping all he songs from NFS UG2....40% of the tracks are done.....i am planning to do the same with NBA LIVE 2005....

H

thanx

F

whohoo.
Now i have unlocked everything.
But anyway I now have 10 star car with all level3 and unique updates and car fullly pimped up.
I have even done a review of this game for www.guru3d.com
*www.guru3d.com/article/gamereviews/167/
This is 1 addictive game.
Now playing online most of the times.
Its funny now some car handles after upgrading them. Some cars simply cant take upgrade, tail all over the place

A

About the problem with the map,I think so it is not a problem since the GPS
is good enough to take you to the desired point.

G

I have updated the video of my car in NFS UG2, it is now golden in color, take a look at the video.

The car is 10 stared, with all the lever 3 extreme Performance upgrades opened, 60% game is compleated & 99% stuff unlocked

The video was taken at 1024X768, but then clipped to show the car only, it was then reduced to size 320X240 with DivX 5.21, so make sure u have the codec installed.The reduced quality is due to really high compression in Divx, to reduce the file size

*www.geocities.com/gx_saurav/gfiles/tiburon.avi

Three cheers for EA!

Well nodoubt, when it comes to car simulations. Nothing comes close to NFS. This series of game has people like me goin' gaga. The best car simulation yet. The Trax in here are just awesome. Increases the game XPerience tremendously. One thing missed though. More Ferraris.
LONG LIVE EA

when i buy any neon lights or headlights or nitrous purge for my car's i am not able to see those lights.
Is the problem with my graphic card?Its GEFORCE2 MX400 with lastest drivers installed.

Click to expand...

U will not be able to See lights coz it needs Shaders... (GF2MX = No shaders)
And no Smoke (Nitrous Purge) b'coz U have Particles OFF
and yeah NFS U2 needs a DX9 card for all effects. GF2 is DX 7 Card (or is it DX6?)

well if thats the case then how was i able to see theose effects in NFS Underground??

harish_21_10 said:

Dude... just goto the graphics option and increase the light setting to maximum...
That will solve it... coz my card doesn't have any shaders and I still see all the effects....

G

Wooohhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooo

NFS underground 2 all done, I compleated the game, at 6 pm today, after that took a lot of screenshots, now going for something different

Now, who said a Hummer can't race, I compleated the game & since i had a lot of money, baught a hummer & modded it, to the max, all Leverl 3 parts were installer, white colored so that it can be seen clearly, & a few videos. It got a golden green level 3 purge too, & the max speed i could go, 180 Km/h

Download the Hummer zip, 1.64 MB, all videos are DivX 5.21 encoded, with really high compression to minimize the file size, so that killed some quality

The tiburon zip has the game shots after game ending

Tiburon, the game is done

Hummer, the big bad bear

cool...`

hey man..congratos....i am still stuck up on coal harb east.

are u sure U have not deleted the EA Trax, if possible backup your save game & reinstall NFS

Well I'm pretty sure that I didn't delete any file. And did reinstall the game but the problem still persists.

neo_anderson said:

Looks like you don't shift the gears at all buddy. In a drag race you have to change gears manually its not automatic. To need to have the best timing just keep an eye on the tacho and as the needle turns green shift up. Or alternatively you can watch the light on the top of your screen it blinks and when it turns green shift up the gears. To win a drag race just keep the shifting perfect. Try not to over rev or short shift. To use the nitro efficiently I just hit the space bar when shifting through the gears as soon as the lower gear changes I give the nitro until the tacho hits the rev limit. And as soon as the gear shifts up again I give some more nitro. But I don't use it everytime. Coz Nitro is limited and should be used judiciously. Or you can save it all for the last dash to the line and give it all in one go. Well this is my way of nitro boosting. There may be other ways too.

hey ?
How the hell do u get ties like this
I always lead by 6 sec
remember one thing - you start with a lead in any mode except drag you always lead

CHEERS for making a once seemingly immpossible tie up race :idea:

also my bank's 87,000 currently .also the last boss mission sux (if anybody played it)
i was leadin him by +89 seconds

p.s. can any body tell me how to add pics on this posts ? plzzzzzzzz

source code :

NFS U2 tracks are in a file called SDATA.viv and cant be ripped or extracted off

Alternatively u can record them by usin some recorder software like all audio recorder (DIGIT : Jan 2005)

or u can find a ditty tool online via google for U2

i recorded them anyway

S

how abt we post the car tweaking of our cars here so that ppl might have more fun. i don't remember properly but i tuned my mustang gt in such a way that in the 4th gear its goes to 7-8 rpm. then i shift . but there is hardly any powerloss. the needle stays at 7-8. then ishift gears again and the same thing. btw the tie thing can be considered as a glitch in the game. also i played nfsu1 after playing nfsu2. i was pretty impressed by the creativity of nfsu1's tracks and the awesome soundtracks. i wish ea would have put these tracks/maps in nfsu2 in some kind of an unlockable reward thing . also the celica is not so gud for dragging, the skyline(not tweaked) and the 350 z are very gud]

Use FRAPS to take screenshots within the game. Although PrintScreen works, you won't be able to take more than one screen shot at a time. Download FRAPS:

*fraps.com/

About Tuning...
I'm a xtreme tuner-

Heres what i do

1- Circuit and sprint- good balance (60-40) of topspeed and accln.
2- streetx and drift - full accln. and 0 topspeed ratio
3- url - does it need tuning ??????
4- drag - a little accln and lots of topspeed

Completed the game 2 days back -100%

bank cash : 200,500+

all magazines and dvd unlocked

all quick race cars tuned to max.

I think this thread is now non responsive coz nfs mw is releasing soon (ps2 already released).

The PS2 came out like 5-6 years ago :lol:

If you meant the PS2 version of NFS: MW, then that isn't out yet. NFS: MW will ship for all platforms in November, just like the previous NFS versions.

Thanks for the tip bala. Will try it out!

But i saw on some sites that NFS MW was in the top ten of PS2 :shock:

Theres F12 key for screenshot. i have taken lots of them. its unlimited, or as much as ur HDD permits.

I guess you misunderstood me. I meant that you can take one at a time if you DON'T use FRAPS. With FRAPS you can set a fixed time interval and it will keep taking shots. Btw, the hotkey is F10 and not F12

thanks a lot sirius .

any 1 tried doin a wheelie? 8)

S

done a wheelie a million times. even in drag mode

M

what is a wheelie

ok supersaiyan,

any one here knows the trick how to move forward a few metres ahead of all cars b4 the start of the race?

any other trick will also do

Jus Udate ur car's prof and then enter fresh in a race and u will be in the 1st line...

wheelie is to drive ur car on only 2 wheels or drive ur bike on 1 wheel

Wheelie = Driving ur vehicle on (total no of wheels / 2)

Dont ask bout tricycles....

Answers:
1. there will be no 'go to next race' option only 'return to explore mode'
u select that and then explore where are the other race challenges located,u can easily do it by pressing M and activating GPS on any race event by clicking it. :wink:

2. first race in career in mode is just a delivery race u reach a point(which is a garage) as shown by GPS (the arrow) select a car n start ur career! 8)

3.NFSU2 Is always in night settings, no day environment,visuals helps to look ur car good n best in the street,increases ur star rating (which u can see by pressing T )which in turn unlocks more race events.

There are no cops in NFSU2

See previous pages for More TIPS :roll:

Well, NFS MW has cops, but can we make other racers get caught too ?

P>S>@nemesis : i found that once at gamespot top 100, now i dont see it there..., maybe i saw hot topics instead of games, gotta search again...

is it just msging that u will lose unsaved things or it really doesn't save after reloading the game,
sumtimes it just says that u wiil lose but u don't!
try it,is it not even prompting you to save?
or else got garage and save,or else try the options menu at the start of the game not after entering career. 8)

Guys...

I got a new computer only a few days back so I got to play U2 only now...

Actually I'm stuck in the career mode...

I first selected a Ford Focus car and eraned some money and some sponsors too... With their help I got a Nissan... I upgraded both the cars performance wise and finally got Hummer added to the car lot...

I replaced the Hummer for the Ford...

Again there was this new Hyundai... I jus simply could not resist and replaced my Upgraded Nissan for this one...

I finished all the races visible in the map... I even checked out some races which were not in the map also...

So basically currently, I jus have a few cash and this Hummer and no race to play... I jus roam about the bayview city...

What di I hav to do to proceed further guys...?

Complete all DVD shots and Magazine contracts and also LEague races to unlock the next stage...

If u have completed all stages then go to Garage and go under maps and u will see several races incomplete in every stage.. complete all to unlock 100% items and complete the game 100%

Hey Qwerty.... I'm still in stage1 dude.... I completed all the league races in that stage...

Hey... Is any1 there....? Come on man... Help me out.... I'm still roaming in the streets of Bayview...

i think u shud check those maps more clearly....please spend all your cash on upgrades.....don't change anything just like that....see that your star level increases!....put all accesories ..n...all upgrades....then c if any races become visible....or do some outrun races...till then!!

maybe the game thinks your car is not enough GAME to play more races!

ALL THE BEST !

Yes I think u need to have a good Star rating to attract sponsors... and do check the map for some more league races... coz usually after u complete all league races, many more races come on the map and u have to complete any one to get a sponsor

Hey shariq_pj is ur car modified till 10 stars ????

if not do it now

if yes then u have some hidden races to complete ............................... moreover u must finish all ur incomplete races frm the world map..

this shud help ........

Seems u hv not made ur vehicle fit 2 compete in the next stage.. if u hv enough money add some upgrades for parts, vinyls etc.,

If not do some crazy outrun challenges and earn some gud cash and then upgrade.. once u hv upgraded the stage final game pops out..

i too had this prob and did some outrun earnd gud cash and then upgraded my vehicle and the next stage opened.. try this.

Thanks a lot guys... I jus did as u guys said... Upgraded my visual rating and guess what after that I was called for DVD photo... Then eventually after doing a couple pf outrun races I was havin a whole bunch of races in the map with a part of the map gettin unlocked...

Thanks a lot guys...
