** Official Carmageddon: Reincarnation thread **

Been playing the original again (free copy via GOG for backing the new one), it is such a classic and was ahead of its time. The choice of which way to complete the stage is always difficult - wreck the opponent vehicles, race through the checkpoints/laps or mow down every ped in the map :p
 
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.
 
Couldn't agree more, HangTime. Carma1 was just great but the sprites (although funny) got old quickly. Carma2 updated things but the engine never felt quite right to me & always struggled to run smoothly. CarmaTDR2k was ok but don't remember playing it much.

My problem with Carma2 was that you had some "missions" levels. I just wanted to drive around and wreck my opponents! I don't want to complete laps in specified time :(

My second problem was that you could get wrecked. In the first carma you could throw yourself off tall building at high speeds and fly for miles. It was hilarious. In Carma 2 if you did this you could get wrecked so really ruined the fun.

Yeah there were some nice long straights and you could clip a small ramp and fly across the map, especially if you picked up the hot rod bonus :D Great stuff.
 
Update 3 was out yesterday :) Runs a bit better for me now.

TECH

Optimisation work on our engine and rendering tech also continues, and you should experience further improvements to the performance of the game on medium spec PCs. See the specs details on the Steam Store page for more information regarding tech requirements. We’ve also fixed lots of bugs, however, please remember we’re still in Early Access, and so the oft-repeated caveats concerning game performance and BUGS still apply!

If you already own the game and your Steam update is set to run automatically, then you won’t have to lift a finger; all these new goodies will be downloaded the next time you run Carmageddon: Reincarnation!
