Ah yes, I'm mixing up the venerable nobby with some freakish elf creature or cast member of Biker Grove, depending on your niche British TV preference. My favourite part of all this so far (other than you know, Carmageddon skidding back in to our hearts) was seeing Nobby and his wife having a congratulatory glass of champagne when they hit the Kickstarter goal. Such a normal looking 40something couple, one of whom is responsible for the glorious tabloid baiting massacre that is Carmageddon.

gently caress yes, the Electric Blue Love how the electro-bastard ray now blows up the pedestrians, it always felt a bit wimpy in the older games even though the BZZZZT sound effect was quite satisfying. edit: I actually kinda like the untextured black Annihilator, it has that Batmobile look to it. Looks to be completely impossible to control, though, thanks to the built-in Hot Rod powerup. DMorbid fucked around with this message at 12:40 on May 1, 2014 |

I didn't find the football stadium in Bleak City, but aside from that the level is packed with stuff and places to explore. It's also horrendously unoptimized, and I had to drop my resolution to 720p and most visual options down in order to get anything resembling a playable frame rate. That said, the Countryslide level runs extremely well at 720p and medium to high graphics, and it finally has powerups. Including a ped repulsificator in the cow pit: The combination of a big ramp, lunar gravity and spinnertron yielded some interesting results: Pinball mode also works as intended now:

A tribute to Russ, who is dead Getting on rooftops is a little tricky but doable And then things stopped being physics'd and I crashed super hard. Bleak City is buggy as gently caress but fun to explore, I started accelerating out of control a few times and I ultimately crashed before I was finished snooping about. No Stadium in this map, Nobby said this is City A and City B is coming. This map takes like 6 years to load btw.

It loads much, much faster with the virtual textures enabled. Of course, those will also slow the game down because they haven't been optimized, but the only time I tried running Bleak City without the VTs turned on it loaded for ten minutes and then crashed.

Here's today's stream for those of us who missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1BolrmaF50 Looks like the city level runs like poo poo for them as well, even with the graphics turned way down. edit: I just tried it on medium-ish settings at 1080p with the virtual textures off, and it's quite playable now. Just takes forever to load. DMorbid fucked around with this message at 03:01 on May 8, 2014 |

I just noticed the last patch changed the "I WAS IN THE WAR" voice clip for the old ladies! It now sounds slightly less like (although probably still is) nobby mumbling in falsetto. Game ruined, preorder cancelled, etc. (edit: actually it might still be the same clip, I'm not 100% sure) At least the amazing cow sounds are still intact. I always loved the ridiculously animal noises in the old games, especially the boars in Splat Pack. edit: what do you mean my car doesn't pass inspection, it's perfectly driveable DMorbid fucked around with this message at 14:02 on May 20, 2014 |

Just a reminder for anyone who cares (and for myself so I don't forget it again), this week's stream featuring nobby and Sim is starting in 25 minutes or so (5 PM BST) at http://www.twitch.tv/carmageddon. I wonder if they have anything new to show us this week.

Some insane people have modded the Carma 2 airport and all Carma 1 levels into Reincarnation Don't know how well the Carma 1 levels work, but there they were in the menu. edit: The old Maim Street is completely playable, the textures are pretty wonky at the moment because they were directly imported from Carma 1 iOS and haven't been fiddled with yet.

I'm really impressed by the modding work already. Yeah, those imported Carma 1 levels look lovely right now because the textures need to be fixed up, but the game is in pre-alpha and we already have playable versions of all those original levels. That is loving amazing. I'm certain it's only a matter of time until the community mods every single old Carmageddon level and vehicle into Reincarnation, and if CarMODgeddon turns out half as good as nobby is saying, this game won't be running out of new content for years. Works for me.

Well, I felt like I shouldn't let this rot in my backlog considering how I got it. So I played it a little bit yesterday and I'm pretty happy with it for what it is. I don't have the nostalgia for the old titles like some of you (I've never played them) but I still found what's there to be pretty entertaining.

New gameplay trailer, showing off Bleak City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFoc9qNp78Q I assume this is what HDTanel was working on in the background during last week's stream. Personally I'd have waited until the level was a bit more optimized before making the trailer, but it's still pretty well made and does a good job showing all the carnage and damage and general mayhem.

About ten minutes into this weeks stream. Multiplayer and Tashita in the next build! Fox and Hound, Deathrace and another mode in next build, no idea what that means! http://www.twitch.tv/carmageddon Edit: nobby answered me Checkpoint scramble spawns a random checkpoint on the level you all have to hoof it to for points, if you wastes someoen you get some of theirs. Fox and Hound is one car is the fox and everyone hunts them. Deathrace, you race! Shoehead fucked around with this message at 17:16 on May 21, 2014 |

That golden Eagle mod is awesome. Here's a link, also has a bunch of other colors: http://www.carmageddon.com/forum/topic/27002 I know what color I'll be using. edit: Of course someone made a nude pedestrian mod. Never change, internet. e2: in less horrible mod news, the textures in the Carma 1 levels have been mostly sorted out and they no longer look like a horrible blurry mess (still some jankiness here and there, but they're much better than what we saw on the stream last week): Also, picking up pinball mode in a places like this cave can have some interesting effects: (had to recover to get out of the ground there) DMorbid fucked around with this message at 01:10 on May 22, 2014 |

This week's stream just started, they seem to be playing the new build that has all kinds of cool new stuff including new race routes and cars (Tashita and Volkswrecker have been added and neither one has textures at the moment). http://www.twitch.tv/carmageddon edit: THE BEAR! Also without textures right now. Sumo map DMorbid fucked around with this message at 18:00 on May 28, 2014 |

According to nobby, the new update is hitting next Thursday (June 5th). No word on whether the currently untextured cars like Tashita will have textures by then, but the most important things are that 1) next week we'll be playing the poo poo out of multiplayer mode (multiplayer Death Race sounds like the best thing, looking forward to letting you guys get a look at the tail lights of my Eagle ) and 2) the performance is supposed to be much, much better than it is in the current build.

NOBBYYY (that emoticon actually kinda looks like a sad nobby now that I think of it) Anyway, in my latest race I got t-boned by Vlad pretty hard. As much as Vlad sucks his car can actually do a good bit of damage in a major impact (it's not so obvious from the pics, but the Fat Cat's chassis is bent to poo poo and the driver's side door is just caved in): max your arm isn't looking so good no really max you should get that checked, it keeps flopping around and that was your good arm too I CAUGHT A SCIENTIST WHEEEEE

In any case, they're showing the new stuff that is in the next update, and it seems like that new stuff unfortunately doesn't include textures for The Bear, Volkswerker and Tashita. edit: well that was really short because the guys want to go watch football, but at least the update is going live RIGHT NOW.
