360 - Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights - Photographer claims THQ used a 'Juiced 2' shot without permission

Photographer Paul Ferradas has said a photo he took of a model has ended up being used without consent from him or the model.

Apparently an ex-boyfriend of the model was playing Juiced 2 and recognised her in the "loading - please wait" images of the game. No comment from THQ at the moment, which may be scrambling to investigate themselves.

THQ Explains Stuntman And Juiced Failures

360 News from N4G | Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights

360 - Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights - THQ Explains Stuntman And Juiced Failures

During THQ's financial conference call with analysts, company execs explained why two of their highly anticipated in-house games, Stuntman Ignition and Jucied 2: Hot Import Nights, did not do as well as anticipated in sales and reviews.

For Juiced, THQ felt that giving the developer, Juiced Games, a total of six different platforms to develop all at once was too ambitious and that going forward THQ will only give their game developers no more than three SKUs to work on at once.
