Heck yeah, I've been playing this since the other week. It's so great to have a modern Carmageddon with all the totally goofy poo poo Stainless love and not have TDR be the last entry in the series. I can't wait to see the new tracks and cars this month. I wonder how far they are along with Bleak City?

I dunno man, I mean something as abstract as a menu sound sure (I can still hear it in my head now). But the handful of, by todays standards, poorly recorded crashcam speech clips, crash sounds, the powerup pickup noise etc, they'd be pretty jarring set against the modern graphics.

I want them to recreate the feel of the earlier games but I don't want them to entirely ignore 15 years of game design.


On an unrelated note, is that Noddy as Psycho Pitbull? That is amazing.

Pratcams are coming back. They got a mate of Nobbie's in for Max and Sim is playing Die Anna. It not a priority according to them and won't be in till later.

Also yeah Nobby is Pitbull! Someone posted a blog about heading to Stainless to get his own car and portrait done. I think he was a kickstarter backer pr something

Oh yeah that's right everyone should know that when you are playing a Stainless game you're playing a game made by nutjobs who run each other over with cars, participate in stock car races and throw entire dishwashers down flights of stairs.

They covered Nobbie's car with giant dick decals for his fiftieth the other month. :allears:

A tribute to Russ, who is dead :rip:


Getting on rooftops is a little tricky but doable


And then things stopped being physics'd and I crashed super hard.


Bleak City is buggy as gently caress but fun to explore, I started accelerating out of control a few times and I ultimately crashed before I was finished snooping about. No Stadium in this map, Nobby said this is City A and City B is coming. This map takes like 6 years to load btw.

Checkpoint scramble spawns a random checkpoint on the level you all have to hoof it to for points, if you wastes someoen you get some of theirs.
Fox and Hound is one car is the fox and everyone hunts them.
Deathrace, you race!

Bold Robot posted:

I haven't been following the development of this at all since I kickstarted it like... 2-3 years ago now? Is this game looking any good? The whole Early Access/Public Beta thing makes me pretty skeptical.

There's an Alpha release up on steam that looks pretty promising. It's very basic and unoptimised but the cars handle nicely and crunch really well. Basically we're waiting on more cars and tracks, a campaign mode and mutliplayer.
There's a few other features that they've planned that aren't in yet like splitting cars in two and paint damage.

Anyway give it a go!

According to Nobby they are unlocked the way they were in Carma1. So cheating or beating the game

This was from a few days back, but I asked Nobby during the Twitch livestream. He said that it's still part of the plan.

Speaking of multi, a patch should be out to fix some multi-specific stuff within the next 24 hours, Steam willing.

They just got an update from Q/A, their main issue seems to be fixed so they are pushing the button, so it'll be out whenever it get's through Steam's...stuff, whatever that is.

AI update is out!

quote:

Update going live TODAY for the Beta release … and this one has some exciting NEW STUFF in it! Check this out

The AI now use PowerUps!
The AI behaviour has been improved in all event types, and they’re more aggressive in Classic Carma events!

Plus, the Controls Config file has been moved to allow editing without locking out the Multiplayer Mode, there’s a fix for edited Keyboard Control Configs not saving, and importantly - graphical settings have been tweaked as well, to make them easier to understand and tuned to give a better balance of performance versus graphical quality. MARVELLOUS!

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the “AI using PUps” thing, and now it’s in I can tell you it’s FANTASTIC FUN and it makes the game even more of an Multiplayer experience in Single Player! Val Hella repulsificating your advances! Don Dumpster spurting oil slicks from his arse all over your shiny new boots! The Terrible Twin aiming anvils at your vitals! Ivan the Bastard bowling slaughter mortars right up your chuff, plus many more highly amusing opponent/PowerUp combo moments WILL BE YOURS once the game has updated! So come one Carmafans – get yer update installed and get ready for some extra-ultra-violent vehicular CARMAFUN!

Do you want to hear a couple of video game journalists poo poo on Carmageddon for 26 minutes while playing it in the most boring way possible? No? Too bad, because that's exactly what the Giant Bomb quicklook from a few days ago is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhzs4DsAklg

I watched this shortly after it came out, and there were already a bunch of commenters going "aw gently caress they ruined Carmageddon, this looks boring!" I generally like Giant Bomb, but they didn't even try with this QL. Much like the earlier Earth Defense Force 2025 QL, really. Also, Jeff says the original Carmageddon games are bad, which is possibly the wrongest thing I've ever heard him say. I understand not liking them, but to straight-up call them bad games is just dumb.

:(

I really thought Dan would have liked it

Performance is way up for me. I agree with the thread, a bunch of numbers need to be tweaked, though I'm mostly ok with damage in regular matches, the one were you have to wreak like 6 cars to win is hard as gently caress atm though.

For me, now that I can actually see things in the game, driving feels really slow and sluggish, which I know was part of Carma 1 but I think it's still a liiitttle bit too hard to turn.

Grabbed it this morning since the regular version turns my PC into a molten ball. My loading times are ok, baring in mind my pc was taking about 4 minutes to start a level

I'm pretty sure they took the strip club out of Bleak City, which is understandable!
