** Official Carmageddon: Reincarnation thread **

Nice gesture Mr Confused, you've reminded me that I'll be getting 3 spare early access keys myself, suppose i should do a similar giveaway.

Carmaggedon is an absolute classic of a game.

I used to play it all the time. Im not into racing games much these days, but back when Carma 1 and 2 were out, I was hooked :).

It introduced me to Iron Maiden too. Certainly cant complain about that!
 
Not had a key yet, might not be high enough tier :( think all other backers get it end of the month?

I don't know anyone who actually played Carmaggedon as 'racing game'.

Who remembers 'O K Stimpson'?
 
I'll be doing some streaming from 5pm (when I finish work), feel free to watch me here:

I've used my lunch break to set it all up, going to try to get a microphone sorted out so that I can chat whilst I'm playing it, and I'll be keeping an eye on the chat and trying to answer any questions people have!

I may experiment with some of the video settings by editing the config.lua file whilst I'm on stream.
 
@early beta access customers, so does the game include full remapable gamepad control settings?

i'm on the 20$ tier, so i have to wait till 27th

Just finished a ~4 hour streaming session, and here are my thoughts:

  • Feels just like a Carmageddon game
  • Held my attention for the full 4 hours
  • The default keys suck! Why is recover not "Insert" like it always was!?
  • Couldn't appear to rebind the keys, so I couldn't correct the above myself
  • Whilst streaming, I had the following open: Chrome, Open Broadcaster Software, Steam, Carmageddon - ran quite nicely, high frame rate, at 100% CPU usage. Until I repaired. Then, the CPU usage dropped to ~50-70%, and the framerate tanked
  • I had a couple of crashes. Once just in the middle of a race, and once when I went to view the replays
  • The post-race gallery disappeared after a couple of races
  • Getting wasted didn't end the race... it just allowed me to repair and continue
  • Cops home in on you SO much
  • Opponents ignore you and just race around the course most of the time

Just had a quick go. It is classic Carmageddon but brought right up to date. The fps is terrible right now but you can still get a good idea of the game from this already.

Multiplayer is going to be hilarious.
