Anyone else wishing for a 360/PS3 Carmageddon?

cemetery man

Playing the new Burnout demo really made me wish for a 360/PS3 Carmageddon game. The whole time I was thinking if there were some pedestrians, penguins.. elephants etc, that it would be the perfect game.

Handkor

Yes, this series should be revived properly. I had so much fun with the original. It's a simple formula that should be redone but this time they should have at least two modes of play:

- Classic: Just racing/Destroying other cars/killing
- Challenge mode: Do objectives scattered around the levels

I hated wierd challenges presenting me from just moving on to the next level and having fun.

MarkyX

Yes.

cemetery man

I agree Handkor, on the PC version I always just used the freeze timer code and drove around at my leisure destroying everything and everyone.

I want a new version of this game so bad that I'd even take the pussied down version with zombies instead of people at this point. Basically they just need to take the good stuff from Burnout and add their universe and some people to run down and we're ready to roll with a kick ass revival.

I'd preorder this today if it were the case, and I rarely preorder anything.

A new Carmageddon would be a breath of fresh air, especially if it retained the design and art style of the original games which would set it apart from all the cookie cutter sci-fi games that come out these days.

PMAvers

I'm surprised there *hasn't* been one yet.

NickTheNewbie

Yes.

Evander

Wasn't there one in the works for a while, before quietly getting cancelled/being delayed indefinitely.

cemetery man

They were working on another one but got canned in 2004 or so. Not sure but I think it was for PC.

bombcar

Hell, at this time I'd take one for the Wii. Even just a direct port would be fine.

Electrobastard ray!

Accualt

Yes.

Especially if the Football field made a return.

DevilGuy

yeah a new carmageddon would be sweet, I'd love to see it remade with modern graphics.

apotheos

Only if its like the first one. The second one was garbage.

Hotlead Junkie

Oh hells yes

The 2nd one rocked! Usually it seems the only one most people dislike is the 3rd. I thought 2 was highly regarded by just about all fans.

Svelte Penguin

I loved the second one. Never had to cheat for time, was always easy to murder enough pedestrians to rack up 20 minutes or so to just screw around really quickly. It was a great, strange hybrid of racer/destroyer/car based platformer, especially with the collecting of powerups and money for said powerups. Plus, there's nothing better than the pinball? powerup combined with the powerup that made people fall apart easily when you hit them. Driving through a crowd of people and having dismembered limbs in the hundreds bouncing sky high is uniquely hilarious.

A sequel would be awesome, but it would need to be pretty cartoony. The old ones had that blocky polygon goodness that kept you immersed in bugs bunny/monty python violence world. Carmageddon 3 was terrible. It was all about the racing, and they were really stingy with the time they gave for doing anything, so you were stuck playing it like it was burnout or something.

Big Classy

Low gravity pedestrians was the shit. Knock 'em into space!

KimFidler

I loved both of them and played them both alot. I bet if I went back and played them now they definitely would not have aged well, but that doesn't spoil the memories I have of them.

Xbox 360 version with Live support plz.

Big Classy

Actually, I had the first one earlier this yr and it's still ridiculously good fun. They could stick it on Xbox Live, it'd be the first game I'd be willing to pay so much for.

We need to start a god-damned petiton or some shit to get this game on live

KimFidler

I'd be willing to pay some Billy Bucks for it.

Big Classy

OH God........... I just remembered the loop-de-loop on the amusement park arena.....
I want this game so bad now

Cherrn

I was definitely more of a Carmageddon 1 guy, but 2 was awesome as well. It had some of the coolest vehicle deformation I've ever seen. Plus, Iron Maiden songs!

FreddyD

The youtube stunt videos look obscenely fun.

so... much... nostalgia.

Thanks a lot, Cemetery man, now I'v got to go and hunt down copies of Carmageddon 1 and 2 and spend most of my time trying to get them to work on my lappy.

It would be awesome on live.. Maybe they'd see we're hungry for more.

This video from Carmageddon 1 is even crazier. The best part is around 6:20.

I posted that video at the beginning of that quote tree

Also, one thing I've never heard anyone mention ever is that the music that plays during the intro for Carmageddon 1 is the exact same music that play during the second half of the Johnny Cage/Scorpion fight in the first MK movie.

I never did find out what the deal was with that.

For comparison's sake: Carmageddon vs. MK

No one will care, but it bothered the hell out of me 10 years ago!

zanetheinsane

I remember getting both the UK version (Carmageddon TDR 2000) and the US version (Carmageddon 3). Sadly at that point in the internet the only way to reliably play online was through Gamespy Arcade, but I had more luck playing with brits than anything else. It took months before US players and UK players could even play together. :x

While a disappointing game, it was still fun to drive around aimlessly. Of course, 1 and 2 are still superior, but god damn, I'd plunk down the cash for a fourth game or an XBL version. I don't even think SCi exists anymore.

Dissolution

God, Carmageddon2 was the shit.

I would go out and buy either console for it alone...because, you know...I'm poor.

cemetery man

Someone tell those guys to make another friggin game already! I found my discs of 1,2 and 3. I think when I'm off around Christmas I'll be torching some peds with the flamethrower.

Ah_Pook

man YES. the first two games are definitely some of my favorite games ever. me and my brothers would spend so much time wreaking havoc laughing our asses off. i would buy whatever system they made a new one for, no questions asked.

DoctorArch

I remember shearing my car in half when I collided with a barricade at top speed.

It was the first game that really did that if I remember.

Also, who remembers Quarantine?

They're both the track "Zero Signal" by Fear Factory. Its from their best album, Demanufacture. I recall that the original Carmageddon had five or six of their songs for the soundtrack.

My fave power ups were in Carmageddon 2, the springs. Whether you were blasting pedestrians into orbit or sending opposing vehicles smashing into the nearby buildings, tons of fun.

Big Classy

I just remembered an article about the developers working on something new. It's a racer.

Not really
