What was shocking and revolutionary in 1997 isn’t necessarily the case in 2016: Grand Theft Auto V has already taken open world action games to new heights, and open world racing games are already starting to become stale this generation.
Just as Independence Day Resurgence was a 20-year-late sequel that nobody asked for, you could argue that Carmageddon is no longer relevant in today’s market. Fans were eagerly anticipating its release, but Carmageddon Reincarnation was so poorly optimised that hardly anyone could play it – even on powerful PCs that were more than capable of running it.
#Carmageddon 2 review Pc
Carmageddon: Max Damage is essentially a port of Carmageddon Reincarnation originally released on PC in 2014 following a highly successful Kickstarter campaign. Nearly 20 years later, the series has made a fighting comeback on consoles with Carmageddon: Max Damage developed by original series creators Stainless Games. The damage modelling was impressively intricate for the time, and the open world tracks were revolutionary in a racing game. It’s a shame, because Carmageddon had some genuinely revolutionary features beyond its gratuitous gore and puerile humour which were overlooked (you can read more about Carmageddon’s colourful history in our developer interview looking back at the series). Indeed, the series regularly appears in ‘top 10 most controversial games of all time’ list features for its graphic depictions of 3D pedestrian-pummelling violence that were genuinely shocking at a time when Grand Theft Auto was a tame-looking 2D game. When you think of Carmageddon, you automatically associate it with controversy.
