Carmageddon: Reincarnation Linux Version Confirmed

Posted by Soulskill on from the putting-on-the-tux dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Stainless Games has been fundraising for Carmageddon: Reincarnation, a modern day remake of the classic Carmageddon racing games, on Kickstarter for weeks. Stainless said that if they hit $600,000 in pledges before time runs out, they would commit themselves to creating a Linux port of the game, as well as a MacOS port. Today they made it official: the fundraising has come so close to netting $600K overall, with a few more hours left to go, that they are officially committing themselves to creating a Linux port of the new game. PC gamers will get to play Carmageddon 4 first, with a February 2013 release date. The MacOS & Linux versions will follow the PC version later in 2013."

    Don't you mean Windows gamers will get it first?

      Those are the Mac retards of today. Brainwashed by Apple fapvertisements, they *actually* think a Mac is not a PC, so they can keep their pretentious e-penis hard.
      And of course, as a side-effect, they now think Windows would equal PC.
      But what do you expect from people who would use an iDevice and love living in a golden rubber cell / cage?

    Nope, read TFA. That $600k includes developing AND porting the game.

    Don't get me wrong, the more games that are Linux-native the better, but I think the summary writer missed the real point here -


    THEY'RE MAKING ANOTHER CARMAGEDDON!!!!!

    Best. Gaming Franchise. Ever.

    They released a video of a recent work-in-progress version of Carmageddon cut with some video from the original Carmageddon. This gives some idea of where they are at the moment, and how much there is to do.

    I really hope they can bring Fear Factory back to do the soundtrack.
    They just put out a new album and it wouldn't be a stretch for them to massage some of the tracks for the game.

  8. These guys are nuts by sqldr · · Score: 2

    About 12 years ago I had a job interview with these guys. They're based on the Isle of Wight, and the first thing I noticed was that the guy who picked me up from the ferry port drives a Delorian.

    First question they asked me in the job interview was "how much do you drink?". I think my reply was "you know when we're under the table? That's round 2". The interview was held in their communal area and there was about 4 people in the background watching Jerry Springer while we were trying to conduct an interview.

    With the aid of a marker pen, anything on any wall, surface or ceiling that could be made to look like a penis or a pair of tits had been done. Their office is some old cottage with really low roofs everywhere, so they probably have head injuries from banging their head on the ceiling.
