"of the popular crown funding platform" should be crowd i think?

Nice that they met their goal!

[edvinasm]

Yes! Please please make it Carmageddon 2 like, not the 3000... Hopefully they will have some Flatout type damage engine too. Flying bits all over the place!

There is only 7 days left to buy the game for $15, after this the pre-order price will be increased and should be available through their main website via paypal.

" The head of games at IHS Screen Digest said to the BBC “(Kickstarter) has become inundated with games funding requests, which I think will hamper the potential of future projects securing necessary funding. Also we have yet to see any major results from the games funded through Kickstarter. The future success of this channel of funding really depends on the results that come out of it.""

Well no ****. Somehow funding a game doesn't mean it comes out the next day. Who the hell are IHS Screen Digest anyway? Sounds like some overpaid non-knowledgeable quango.

2 Things I want to see:

1. More like Carmageddon 1 as 2 felt like driving through sludge.
2. A return to Fear Factory doing the soundtrack - it helped define the game as genuinely awesome!

I'm fairly certain the first Carmageddon was a 1997 release. I got it for me Birthday that year, oh the memories..... Every few years I get it out again for a quick blast.

I would prefer a Carmageddon 1 style, HUUUUGE maps and the cars handled the best, not 2 or TDR 2000 (miniture maps, and felt like driving a barge everywhere), they lost the way. That said number 2 had some awsome music!

Obviously agreed on both previous posters. Carmageddon 1 was absolutely stellar, not the (bad) comic visual style and feel. Although, a few gameplay mechanics from Carmageddon 2 would be welcome, namely the player's car actually being able to be fully wrecked, which would lead to the level lost, as the pseudo invulnerability of the first game was way over the top

And PLEASE, let there be a suitable soundtrack...

Keep an eye out for this, soon to be released: http://www.gog.com/gamecard/carmageddon_max_pack

And yes, legacy games there that originally lack compatibility, are patched up for modern OSes, as well as often coming with goodies. Definitely deserves more gamer support.

I have to get this, even if its just to try and re-live my gaming youth! :-)

I could not agree with this any more even if I went and brought a city and renamed if to "Agree with Vimeous-ville" and have the mascot of the city to be a huge thumb up hand...
