9 days to go???

Oh! New Carmaggedon game?

Sweet

Since it's common nowadays to ruin comebacks/revivals, I rather hope for a HD-version of Carmageddon 2!

I think it's now time for a GTA4 Carmageddon total conversion.

LOL
well said glynn
that WOULD be the ultimate baddassery
i'd toss Quarantine in there too
gotta torch those pedestrians

yes please! that game was so much fun.

GTA4's driving physics lost a lot of the fun of simply hooning around when they overcomplicated the simulation. I'd much rather have completely unrealistic physics that catered to driving really fast and launching into the air at the drop of a hat in a game like Carmageddon... well in any game, really, but particularly something as ridiculous and cartoonish as this franchise.

I hope the over the top car damage makes a return. Not many games since Carma 2 have had a "splitting cars entirely in 2" feature.

oh my god remembering forcing an opponent car into a concrete wedge and the force of the impact splitting it.

I came.

GTA4's car handling had a similar low gravity feel, and I reckon would fit pretty well with Carmageddon's similar handling.

I thought the feel of the vehicles was perfect in GTA4, too :P Lots of fun!

Sounds cool, but I still miss Destruction Derby wtb a new version

I bet it'll be a zombie driver game rated T exclusively for the Xbox360, a Jeremy Soule soundtrack. and have a score of 67 from IGN because it rips off GTA3 which invented third person vehicle maiming. but even worse points deducted because they ignorantly expect the driver to be able to get out and shoot with gun


Unless SCi makes a comeback and does it right... I really want to drive airplanes into others in multiplayer on the S.S. Lewinski again.



So they're retconning TDR 2000?

Nostalgia alert!

I only played the first one and the Splatter Pack addon. GREAT times.

Never played the 2nd. Bah, I'll miss it.

fuck yeah!

I loved Carma 2 with a passion, really hoping that Stainless are behind this version, seeing that it was their baby in the first place though DR2000 which was essentially carma 3 was worked on by another team.

Comeback of one of my favorite games ever!
Just reading stuff like S.S. Lewinski brings back memories (pushing fighter jets overboard haha).

Stuff they need to do right:

-lots of crazy cars, of which half are useless but funny (like that Stuka or the Dumper that doesn't even fit through checkpoints)
-same 3 ways to finish a race gameplay + super hard challenges inbetween!
-a bunch of really unique and memorable maps, no freeroam crap plz. I want stuff where I can torch elephants, drive my car through the wildwater ride, blow up penguins, launch off a skislope, try and prevent airliners from taking off, push opponents on traintracks, etc..
-No cutting back on gore and crude humor!
-Crazy damage system up to next-gen standards.

I thoroughly enjoyed these games, and I don't know if this is blasphemous or something, but played the heck out of TDR2000 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

However, I am actually finding it a little hard to imagine Carma these days without it being well, lame? On one hand I'm not sure how well magical giant springs, or bouncing suspension or so many of the powerups will look decent transposed to modern times, on the other would it be Carma without the bizarre crazyness? Definitely curious to see what direction they go with this. I just hope above all else that it doesn't end up stacked up with giant glowing power up symbols and overly flashy effects.

+Licensed heavy metal soundtrack

CUNNING STUNT.

+1 for the return of Fear Factory, too.

OH yes totally forgot. No lame soundtracks, has to be very badass and preferably oldskool.

Oh man, this is the best news in ages. I've played every single carmageddon, carma 1, splat pack, carma 2, and TDR2000.

Though I did play a great deal more Carma 1/splat pack and carma 2 than TDR2000. Heck I still have the manuals for Carma 1 + splat pack, but sadly all my disks for all games were stolen

And I see no reason it can't be a bit more realistic visually with the same insanity we expect.



How ever it turns out, they have a guaranteed play from me.

As for cunning stunt, my brothers and I used to call it stunning cunt bonus...

You know for a fact what ever this is (Carmageddon4, etc) will not be anywhere near as awesome as the 1st or (lesser good) 2nd. For me anyway. There was something simple about it that made it brilliant. Large tracks, tons of zombies (which should have been humans as the demo was), cartoon style powerups, and loads of cool cars with very differing handling, speed, stats, etc.

A new version will be complicated, probably realistic, and not nearly as straight forward.

having said that. I'm still excited and hope it'll be awesome...

I expect its a DS game of iOS or something though.

Well I think any sequel to a child hood favourite, will never live up to the memories we have of the originals, I can't think of any game that does.

GTA 1 was amazing, simple and ridiculous in places, remember the gourangas. GTA 4 is a great deal more realistic, and honestly a totally different game, but I still enjoy it immensely, purely for the physics and the sandbox nature of it, lanning it my friends and I get up to all sorts of weird mischief and experimentations.

It's the nature of sandbox games, carmageddon I used to try kill as many zombies and do as many checkpoints as i could without finishing the race, then kill all my competitors in as nasty a method i could come up with.

I just jizzed my pants...

Speculations?

The Carmegeddon website is not owned by Square Enix

Yet according a whois search, the carmageddon.com has Square Enix Europe as the registrant

CARMAGEDDON.COM WHOIS
Updated: 22 hours ago
Registrant:
Square Enix Europe (SQUAREEN853)
Wimbledon Bridge House
1 Hartfield Road
London, London, SW19 3RU
GB

So I have my doubts about that, but in 9 days, we'll know for sure.

It's owned by the Europe division (EIDOS)? Now that makes it even better!
