Looks and sounds great! I loved the blood and gore in Carmageddon, infact along with Thrill Kill, Carmageddon was the greatest game of the era. JQ

I did still manage to get it on the ps1… eventully. JQ

I’ve watched the trailer. Sorry to disappoint Armageddon Riders creators.

Graphics

The overall graphics look great – no need for better ones. Still, sparks are overdone and they are of a too bright yellow. Try a little darker orange and not round as stars. They spawn too many from a little scratch. If you love sparks make them spawn more often – from dragging parts on the road, from colliding other objects than cars etc.

Physics

The game looks like it’s more NFS-ish but lacks its assets: complex parts and performance tuning, social life mood etc. Another close comparison would be with Carmageddon. I think a little inspiration from Carmageddon series woudn’t hurt; so compared to the latter, there are some downsides:

The car controlability is too childish – the car stays too sure on the road, not to mention when it lands from a jump or hit by an opponent. It gives the impression that is a single rock box, instead of a car, a compound of different objects (body, wheels).
The body of the car is too resistant to shocks – it adds to the mentioned impression. It should deform like paper, body parts spattering around, shocks/springs work more visible.

Concept

The cars are too common, too compact which adds even more to – you guessed it – box feeling. They should contain “disposable” parts like visible ailerons, reinforcement bars, shields, gross spoilers, wheel caps, spinners or name tags and all these when you see at an opponent, you can’t wait to peel them off his car and grieve for your every lost part of car. It should be like a human dismember, only it’s on cars. Plus – the car has a reason to be more endurable: it’s hardened with all that stuff and it lasts longer till it gets undrivable.

Maybe the most enjoyable aspect of Carmageddon which boosts it past other car games is this:
You can drive free wherever you see with your eyes: no road limits, no height limits, just everywhere. There’s no forward and backward, left or right. Although you HAVE to race going forward, you CAN go otherwise. It’s why I don’t play NFS the last version and I play Carma with crappy graphics.
Seen the “Death Race” movie? it would be great if someone would copy some things from there: story, weapons, shield and traps and add a gadget tuning shop or alike.
It also would be nice if the tires would blow up, or the upper side of the car would tear apart. Even more: the wheels would go off, more often than in Carma, so you have to steer harder to overcome unbalanced traction. Make it so you would be able to drive with one wheel ). Make so you could drive with half the car (which I’ve actually REALLY seen, go figure…). Make it so when the car is violently hit, it bends a little on its length (in Carma) but still drivable. Make driving more dynamic.

What Carmageddon lacks is that the mood and approach is too childish. Also the graphics but hey, for that time… also, the cars would stick to walls, not too pleasant.

I don’t want you to mind, I’m sorry if I misunderstood your game; I just said what I’d like to see in the game as a player.

I just wish tthis game was out it would b a hit

its called clutch
