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 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.
