Carmageddon is a game more famous for its controversy than anything it actually did as a videogame, replacing the slaughtered civilians with zombies in various releases. See, you got extra time on the race clock by running over pedestrians. Fun!
Anyway, we haven't had a Carmageddon game in 8,000 years, but a countdown appeared on the series' official site, which is scheduled to end on June 1. Square Enix owns the domain now, and it's entirely possible that a brand new game could be in the works.
The last game in development, Carmageddon 4, was canceled in 2005. Since then, word on the series has been thin on the ground, so this is all very exciting, isn't it?

No zombies either please, I had to get the pirated version to avoid that shit.
But seriously this is an iphone app game ther's no way SE would spend a lot of money on something as risky as this.
could live with a xbla release
Sorry, I just had a minor aneurysm. Whenever I hear/see the word 'Carmageddon' I tend to do that.
Day one purchase. Whatever it may be. Hopefully a full retail or failing that, an XBLA release. Or, if the only option, iPhone is OK too. Just barely.
BUT I'd settle for the first two updated to play nice with current hardware. I still have my Carmageddon 2 disc but it took a few patches and a glide wrapper to get it working somewhat properly. No big deal by any means, but an updated version would be greatly appreciated. :)
JESUS BUILT MY HOTROD
But oh man, a new carmageddon would be so fucking awesome. I hope they can deliver.
also awesome ridiculous powerups: gravity from jupiter, opponent and pedestrian Repulsificator, pedestrian valium, flame thrower,"bouncy bouncy" HOT ROD!. There were car stat upgrades and absurd areas to explore. Carmageddon 2 was really phenomenal! Zombie elephants... hahaha. It also somehow wasnt an enormous shit storm, the powerups were carefully designed and placed in the levels to give you ideas about how to use them to reach new areas or kill people in interesting ways.
I suspect there is actually a big latent fan base for this... of which I am one!

Wondering if its related. :(
I'll play it if it's any good, I just don't trust them.

@DarkTetsuya: That mod's running again, just no game files included.
Hell, it's about time.
