Well, if your car can shoot, and if you can use first persion view (like you can in most racers), then theoretically, it's a first person shooter. Nothing in the genre name that says you can't be in a car.

Then again, I can't remember any shooting in Carmageddon, apart from that crazy spring thingy powerup.

Well yeah, but that's Crysis for you. Not exactly the most optimised game.

yap.thats sad...

If it was anything but a remake of the xcom franchise it could have been good, the aliens have been replaced by black gloop and now looks like a cross between the thing, heart of darkness and with alan wake thrown in for good measure.

Could be interesting I suppose the trailer if I had never heard of xcom looked promising

Biggest kick in the balls regarding classics of the past is that asian mmo they are doing for dungeon keeper

I feel like a dumbo now. I got confused with the two somehow or rather lol.
Or Carmageddon 3. Or simply a remake called Carmageddon.

personaly i think that remake of first game would be even better than new game

I would buy an HD remake of both 1 and 2.

Not TDR though.

"st June, 2011. Isle of Wight, UK.

The Carmageddon brand has been reacquired by the team that developed the original PC titles Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now. Stainless Games today announced that a new title is in early development, called ‘Carmageddon: Reincarnation’.

"Carmageddon has returned to its Indie developer roots, and the time is right to bring the game to a new audience.” said Patrick Buckland, CEO and Stainless co-founder. “Originally an ambitious title that tested the hardware limits of its day, we’re excited that the game will finally get the showcase it deserves on today’s platforms.”

“Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success.” said Neil Barnden, Executive Director and Stainless co-founder, “All the laughs, the crazy power-ups, and extreme destruction will return. We will make sure the existing fans get what they want and expect from a Carmageddon game, and a new generation discovers the delights of sliding into a Cunning Stunt.”

“I was in the war!” Patrick added.

Now in the early stages of pre-production development, Carmageddon: Reincarnation is slated for release in 2012. Stainless Games is actively seeking a partner with whom to move the project on to full production.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation is being developed for digital download, for which Stainless Games have built an enviable worldwide reputation, with numerous cross-platform releases and multiple No.1 titles on XBLA.

C1 + Splat Pack 3DFX versions run perfectly in DosBox up to 1920X1080 with the nGlide wrapper while using the voodoo2 executables with the -vrush option.

It even works quite well through the steam overlay. Here are some screenshots taken through the steam overlay feature.

BTW, anyone interested in a Max Pack release here (C1 + Splat Pack) should head over the carmageddon.com forums and beg.

New Carmageddon page is active almost 2 weeks,and still no new updates.. :(
