New Carmageddon!!

Pft, I think TDR 2000 was better than that other game and for me it's the right after the first game. :>

I wonder if they will be able to get the spirit of the first Carmageddon game or if it will become yet another lulzy fail.

Go here and download the correct patches for whatever version of C2 you have installed: http://rr2000.toshiba-3.com/R4/PC.htm

Then use one of the Glide Wrappers such as dgvoodoo or zeckensack's Glide wrapper.

The game is still buggy as hell and frequently crashes no matter what you do.

Well what do ya know, that glide wrapper fixed the timer. It also lets me run it at 1920x1080. Good call.

For whatever reason, the music won't play, and the mini map is way too close to the center of the screen (probably a side-effect of playing at 1920x1080); but I'll get over it. I've got to group 3 so far without any crashes/game breaking bugs, so fingers crossed that it keeps up.

 
Hold shift and use the arrow keys to move the minimap around. Music doesn't work for anybody. Carma2's CD audio is broken on modern operating systems.

Also, go to your data folder and open OPTIONS.txt
Find these lines and change them to what you see below:

YonFactor 1.000000
SkyTextureOn 1
CarTexturingLevel 3
RoadTexturingLevel 3
WallTexturingLevel 3
ShadowLevel 3
Yon 135.000000

Thanks dude! Minimap position was bothering me too. View distance (Yon) at 135 caused FPS drops though, had to settle with 80. Still, looks better than before.
Lack of in-game music never bothered me, this is the type of game that is great to play with music from your own playlist.
 
I used to play Carma 1 often. I never had too much trouble either killing all the pedestrians or winning the race, depending on the map. Don't know whether or not I'm up for another one, but I'd give it a shot.
 
there is only one way how I would accept another one. If it has the same violance like the past games ;)

But that is today pretty much a "no go"

Besides Germany/Australia, I don't think there'll be much of a problem at all with the level of violence. Hell, check out Prototype sometime. It takes mowing down hordes of pedestrian meat balloons to a whole new level.

Yeah gamers hate violence nowadays. I still remember how no one bought Fallout 3. Reviewers hated it too.
 
that is not what I had actually in mind. Prototype seems to be centered around violance yes.

How many kidz could you kill in F3 ? Sure. Not the most important thing in the world. Nor had Carmagedon kidz (not any I remember).

But you definetly see many developers not going for what they want to do. But what they think is "correct". I mean look at the Duke. I was surprised you could not simply punch all the (anoying ...) people around you.

I konw I know. It is kinda somewhat a weak argument. But I still have the feeling Carmagedon will go more for the 16+ violance instead to avoid any "higher rating" which would hurt sales eventually. I mean hey. That is what Bethesda did with Fallout 3. Offering so much violance that it is "exactly" enough. Not to much to make moms head explode when little jimmy is playing it but also enough so our 12 year old jimmy can get some joy "look ma. Exploding heads!"

*Did I mentioned I love arguing ?

You know, I cannot stop thinking in the original John Carpenter movie "Assault on 13th Precinct".
The gratuitous violence in the scene of a 10 year girl being shoted in the chest while asking for an ice-cream is simply marvelous! :cool:

Somewhat I expected to see this on movies again to no avail.

The other day I was seeing a movie called "Legion" on HBO cable. Never heard of it, but it has Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid and other 2nd tier Hollywood actors, so I think 'let's give it a shot'.
The story is about the Apocalypse, God became tired of humanity and send his angels to kill everyone.
Yes, end of life in the mud ball, good call!!!!

The movie is a worthless piece of crap, BTW, but in one scene a boy around his 8 years old is possessed and attack some people. Did I mentioned that everyone in the scene was armed?
So we see the boy having his head blown up?
No sir, some "elaborate fight" simply fall from the sky (no pun intended) and the boy run away after beating the shit out of everyone.
Of course, everyone had a gun, but still we didn't see the deliquent being putted down! :?

Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Reject" is a good example. The movie is very violent and sometimes offensive, but it don't resort on the "Saw" or "Hostel" gore-porn, you hardly see brains floating and guts exploding, but the violence portraited is trully "Violent".

I'm not a sadistic or violent person, but if you are doing something that requires either being violent, sexy or smart, do it in full form, not by the halves.
Nowdays games, movies, sometimes even comics are so diluted when dealing with certain topics.
It's depressive.

True, no kids in Carma, but I sure remember running over plenty of grey-haired little old ladies with walkers as they tried to cross the street. :mrgreen:

I don't need to run over kids so much, but hippies would be good. With detailed entrail splattering.
