elmuerte Posted May 8, 2012 hmm... what a crappy thread title Anyway, Carmageddon: Reincarnation has resorted to kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stainlessgames/carmageddon-reincarnation I loved the original Carmageddon, but 2 and 3 sucked quite a bunch, specially because they introduced missions and stuff. I'm not sure if I would back this project. If it'll be like Carmageddon 2, I'll pass. But the details are a bit sparse. Also, again a game project that was already started long time ago. So it's not really a kick-start, but more a kick in the rear to wrap up the development. It's not a bad thing per se. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youmeyou Posted May 8, 2012 The first Carmageddon was absolutely perfect. So much fun, so many hours sunk in, trying to run over super-fast cows and "police, stop!" and that football stadium stage... oh the memories. That being said, I loved Twisted Metal 2 and haven't even *liked* anything else in the franchise since. For whatever reason it never felt right without the early crunchy low-res 3D aesthetic. And maybe I grew up a bit too. So this gives me pause. I'm skeptical that they can take what made Carmageddon great and translate it to something that's relavent 20 years later. (Which is also a general problem with most of these nostalgia-based kickstarts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted May 8, 2012 Is this Tim Schafer? EDIT: And I didn't yet watch the video when I posted originally this so apparently it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 8, 2012 I'm afraid this kickstarter marks the point at which I stop backing game kickstarters just because they're game kickstarters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
