    I've seen this mentioned too, but carmageddon.com is still owned by Square Enix Europe according to a WHOIS search, so I'm not sure what to think.

    I loved the 1st Carmagedom, It was carnage! Yes the Iron Maiden music made it all the better. :D

    This worries me intensely. If they can completely and royaly **** up the franchise that made their goddamn company (i.e. FF13) then what they could possibly do to a title obtained from a smaller developer is too horrible to contemplate :sigh:

    It's difficult to say. Square Enix have been supposedly taking a hands-off approach on some titles, and exerting their influence on others.
    Bear in mind that Square Enix are the owners of it because of the SCi->Eidos->Square corporate buyouts a while back.

    I guess the concern is still relevant in 2011 regardless of what companies are involved though, because of seemingly everything going multi-platform, mass-market and non-risk these days in the games industry. What that could possibly mean for a new Carmageddon game is difficult to guess at. :eyebrow:
    Return of the green-blooded, censor-friendly zombies, I wonder?

    quite possibly zombies. from what i remmber it wasnt really possible to win the race/level by driving quickly and going through checkpoints, i always ran out of time without the running over and hitting things...

    the cars all had massive oversteer, which didnt help... but the damage models where awsome :)

    Just spotted this thread! I loved Carmageddon 2 and this has got me intrigued, looking a tthat website right now it has the timer on 06-05-12-38 so let's just say we've all got 6 years, 5 months, 12 days and 38 minutes to wait! Lol, it's gonna be another Duke Nukem Forever! Mark my words haha.

    I remember as a youngster and after a particularly long session on Carmageddon 2 with the Splat Pack I was riding shotgun with my dad around the glorious paved streets of London town and I found myself really, seriously wondering why people weren't just crashing into each other. In my young mind I just thought 'it wouldn't be so bad - it might even be fun'. I remember thinking how stupid that idea was but it took a while to shake, so vivid. Awesome games..

    Because the fourth item decreases every second, the third item every minute, the second item every hour and the first item every day ?

    Holy F-ing Jesus!!!

    On the subject of the running people over, who actually completed each level by racing? I dont think I ever completed one lap, this may or may not be related to the reasons I dont drive a car.

    Well the movie looked like a Game anyway...
