For the uninitiated, that means each 'race' event (each of which takes place on a sprawling, quasi open-world map that is far bigger than just the 'course' itself) can be completed in one of three ways: run through all the checkpoints and complete all the laps in order (easy-ish, particularly if you can get an early lead) wreck all of your opponents before they wreck you (moderately difficult) or flatten each and every pedestrian on the map into a fine, bloody paste on the asphalt (nigh-impossible). Carmageddon: Reincarnation in its current form is little more than a prettier version of the past games, none of which tended to deviate too significantly from the formula established by the first game. It's quite simple, really.ДЄnd I mean that quite literally. I've had the chance to have a bit of a play with it, and I'm very happy to confirm that it most definitely is a new Carmageddon game in the purest sense. The Kickstarter-funded Carmageddon: Reincarnation is soon to reveal itself to the public via the Steam Early Access system, but the team released a very early pre-alpha version to crowdfunding backers early in March.

Developer Stainless Software went rather low-key for a while, quietly working on some of the excellent Xbox Live Arcade updates of Atari classics and three different versions of Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers, but now it's back doing what it clearly loves: hurling heavyweight cars around vast, open arenas and flattening pedestrians into a bloody pulp in the process.

The series has had its ups and downs since its original installment, with an excellent sequel (and a decent, but not quite as good second sequel) on PC as well as some truly dreadful console spinoffs.

My Carmageddon tips book originally graced the front cover of UK PC gaming magazine PC Zone and was subsequently bundled in the Virgin Megastores special edition Christmas bundle of Carmageddon and its Splat Pack expansion, and can, much to my delight, still be read today in PDF format thanks to GOG.com's inclusion of it in its recent rerelease. Not only was it an extremely addictive, highly playable game that proved the PC more than had what it took to take on consoles in the arcade racing stakes, it was also one of the earliest games I ever wrote about professionally. 'What we want to avoid,' Garber said, 'is the response that happened for the Killzone demonstration at the PS4, where nobody actually clapped but it just looked good.'ДЄdding support for the consoles means adding time to the project, and suggests that it will be ready to show the game in the fall.It's not an exaggeration to say that I consider the original Carmageddon to be one of the defining experiences of my gaming career. It still might not be as 'shiny' as a big-budget driving game, but Garber says making it feel right is more important. That will be enough to put it on the PlayStation 4 and next Xbox, but the studio is still negotiating with the platform holders for development kits.Д®urogamer reports that the team doesn't expect the injection of funds to turn it into a blockbuster, as publishing director Jason Garber calls it a 'relatively modest budget.' He says this will help turn it into a boxed product instead of its prior plans as a downloadable-only game.

The Kickstarter reboot Carmageddon: Reincarnation is coming to a few more platforms, after Stainless Games privately raised an additional $3.5 million.
