In 2013, developer Stainless Games brought forth a Kickstarter proposing to revive the old Carmageddon car-combat series from the 1990’s. They got their funding and then some, and as of today, the game is officially complete on Steam.
Here’s what’s in it: nine maps, 36 routes, 24 vehicles (25 if you gave the Kickstarter enough dough to get a special car), a Career Mode that spans 16 chapters with 3-4 events each (50 events in all), a multiplayer mode for both online and LAN play that supports up to eight players, and six event types: Classic Carmageddon, Car Crusher, Fox ‘n’ Hounds, Ped Chase, Death Race, and Checkpoint Stampede.
“In 1997, a videogame was released that caused establishment scandal and media hysteria around the world,” Stainless Games said in their press release. “Banned in some countries, censored in others, and even condemned by a Pope [not the actual Pope, but a British minister of parliament named Pope], overnight it became the poster child for everything that’s wrong in society… and therefore right in a videogame…And now, Stainless Games is proud to announce the FULL RELEASE of the latest ground-breaking game in the series.”
Since the Kickstarter, Carmageddon: Reincarnation has received additional funding from Bullfrog Productions founder Les Edgar, allowing the game to be ported to next-gen consoles. Those versions have yet to materialize.
