"A REAL PHYSICAL THING!"
There's a sense of humor, I like that. Shouldn't the Kickstarter be its own thread, though?
*LOL Schafer as a pedestrian, hahaha.

FFS.......this Kickstarter business is a bloody menace - bleedin' me dry it is. I like their moxie however, so I'm going to scrounge up some change from behind the couch cushions and pay the $15.
How can I not support a developer who digitized Tim Schafer just to run over him in game?

Good to see Carmageddon getting a kickstarter, I am probably going to pledge at the $150 mark within the next week or so myself. I loved Carmageddon 1 and 2 and it would be well worth the 150 bucks to get an updated version.
I see Notch has been splashing the cash around too, he has pledged $7,500 to go to the party. I can't say I blame him if I had the cash I would happily pledge 10 grand to become an opponent in the new Carmageddon, but alas I am a poor boy with a poor family.

Not just someone - the guys who invented Carmageddon. And based upon their pledge descriptions and pitch video, their gallows sense of humor is fully intact

God damn it, I told myself after DFA, Wasteland 2, the Pebble watch, Shadowrun Returns Republique and the Jane Jensen game, there would be no more Kickstarter projects for me.

Done backing. I love backing all the game reincarnated and veteran devs cause its my way of saying "Thank you" for the countless hours of fun they provided me as a kid, especially when all the games sold in my region were pirated and I didn't know any different (hell, there was no alternative).

SHUT UP! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT
If this Kickstarter business works out as intended, I don't think I'll ever need to get another console game again. PC gaming FTW

I would've left them in personally but it is neither here nor there. If people took time to actually read the blog they would discover the WIP are just quick "knock out" jobs to get player feedback on how the new Eagle should be designed (there is even a poll you can vote on for your favourite Eagle design).
They are already up to $27,000 and someone has pledged $10,000 (don't think it was Notch) would love to know who did that.
You've still a month (well, 29 days) to scrounge together $15.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation Kickstarter [400K goal]
Carmageddon: Reincarnation Kickstarter page.
Max Damage is back! Carmageddon: Reincarnation is going to reintroduce the gaming world to the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows) equal points and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. Its the racing game where racing is for wimps.
Originally released for the PC in 1997, Carmageddon was an instant hit thanks to its anarchic gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence.
Carmageddon: Reincarnation is a re-boot of everything that made the original games such a blast to play. The new game will be inspired by the classic environments, cars, drivers and power-ups from the original, but dragged screaming and kicking into the current state of the rendered art. And of course, there will be a bunch of brand new STUFF too, including true rag-doll pedestrians and physics-based power-ups that let you mess with their limbs whilst wiping away the tears - of laughter!
Multiplayer was the hidden-treasure of Carmageddon back in the dark days of LAN parties, but will now be able to be enjoyed by almost all of our players, thanks to the entire planet going online since then. The single player game will be brilliant too, thanks to demented opponents with demented A.I. brains made from demented code written by demented programmers.
Another cutting-edge feature that our loyal fans loved about the original game was the Action Replay facility, and this is also going to be coming back - but with a modern twist: You'll be able to post your clips on YouTube and other such sites. And of course we will be embracing the Social Media revolution and linking up to your Facebooks and Twitters with in-game integration so you can disturb your parents without even leaving the game.
The Carmageddon community means the world to us, and over the years a dedicated army of Modders continued to develop content for the original games. Well be making sure that the tools we use to craft the game are developed in such a way that we can release them as well, thus making player-generated content a central part of the Carmageddon: Reincarnation experience.
What Do I Get For My Hard-Earned Dollars?
We've planned Carmageddon: Reincarnation as an iterative development project. This means that if we just make it to the $400k target, we'll be able to deliver Release #1 in February 2013. Kickstarter backers of $15 and above will receive Release #1 plus all subsequent releases.
If we exceed the $400k target, it'll allow us to include even more content in the first release. And if we smash the target, it'll also allow us to greatly expand the scope of the game, and to roll it out across more and more platforms, with Kickstarter backers getting to select their delivery platform of choice: consoles, tablets, phones, Macs, toasters, vibrating pillows, bananas... errrr.....
.....anyway! The higher our budget, the more it accelerates the development of major game features and get them in the game sooner, and the greater the ultimate scope of the game's content and delivery platforms. Wahoo! We all win!
If we reach our Kickstarter target of $400,000, we'll be able to deliver the first release of Carmageddon: Reincarnation by February 2013. Following that, our backers will get every update of the game as it's released, for FREE. You get it all for the minimum get the game pledge of $15. You get to download the first release via Steam, and your updates will occur automatically after that.

Carmageddon is one of the funnest arcade racers there is, right up there with Burnout and F-Zero.
Does that mean we'll be able to run over Notch?
They're not even alpha graphics, duder.

So yep Notch's pledge automatically means he will be a ped in Carmageddon Reincarnation, hell the game just became more awesome by a factor of 10 million right there. Whether you like Notch or loathe him, who could resist the chance to run his avatar over ?

Oh wow, freaking Carmageddon! I loved playing this when I was younger (I know, bad parents). Kind of weirdly excited someone went for that $10,000 reward, I look forward to seeing what they come up with.

Fuck. I hate the whole kickstarter stuff but It's Carmageddon. Backed.
It is, I don't get the logic of it.

In the last hour, it went from (give or take a hundred) $30 000 to $38 000. I guess it'll accelerate once the media starts covering it.

You look famous, could you like spread the word so it gets more attention?

Won't be backing but I wish them Good Luck.
I wouldn't use the word "famous," but our 35,000+ Twitter followers now know about this.

Love me some Carma but this just went wrong i think. First they were making it all proper, now they fucked something up and lost the publisher? So they ask for fans to fund it.
Games in Kickstarter should be born out of the need for money to get a project going that would otherwise be doomed, like Wasteland 2. For a car combat game with the Carmageddon license i'm sure can be funded by publishers too. Sorry, this gets no money from me :/

Playing the first one with my brother whist listing to The Slim Shady LP made me feel like a badass...
damn I was a fucking looser.
Such a massive miss read of the current state of the industry, are you a Pachter alt account?

No, and mediocre ones like "Smash n Survive" just got released on PSN.
These guys have a 600hp Range Rover with Carmageddon stickers, what do they need my 15$ for?
