Carmageddon Careens Back Onto Radar

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to GameSpot's report that a new version of gory driving title Carmageddon is listed for release in 2005 by publisher SCi. This highly Death Race 2000-influenced franchise often got in trouble with censors for "sequences in which pedestrians are run over by the player", and despite suffering diminishing returns for the sequels, was a fiercely addictive title (especially in the original's rarely-tried LAN multiplayer modes.) However, there's no word yet on platforms or gameplay details for this new title.

You didn't hear it from me, but...

There is one -- if you apply the no-CD patch, Carmageddon 2 no longer complains when you run it on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP (I've personally run it on 2000 and XP, no problem. Never tested NT.)
