Photog Claims Juiced 2 Swiped His Work

While THQ may have backed away from the Juiced series and developer Juice Games, it may still ultimately be responsible for the alleged swiping of one man's work. Photographer Paul Ferradas claims that Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights features some of his work, a photo which he says was used without his permission.

Ferradas writes on the photography-focused forums at Fred Miranda that the model he shot for another client recognized herself in the game, but that neither she nor Ferradas agreed to give rights to THQ or Juice Games to use the image. She happened to be a model for Hot Import Nights, the tuner car expo who partnered with THQ for the game.

We're following up with THQ for comment and will update if and when we hear back.

Juiced Is Dead, But Juice Lives On

Now that publisher THQ has squeezed the Juiced franchise out of its software line-up, what will become of its developer, Juice Games? Juice's Colin Bell says to GamesIndustry.biz that the team will soldier on, creating two new titles. Bell says that the axing of the franchise from THQ was "disappointing" but that the team was "working on two very fresh and exciting projects that I can't discuss but the whole office is buzzing with the work we've done here recently."

We can only hope that the Juice boys go on to generate more product that results in advertising on booty shorts and more "banned" commercials that feature full nudity and the forceful removal of women's clothing. Our hobby's teenage boys need third-rate racing games now more than ever!
