For them, the gameplay is the same as before. Max Damage seems to be a game for the veteran fans of the franchise. Despite the evolution, the entire experience feels outdated. Wait, what am I talking about? Quick recap: Stainless Games, the developers of the first two installments at the end of the nineties, took Reincarnation, and improved it a bit further into Max Damage (which is also a name for one of the „protagonists”), releasing it for the PS4, and the X1. In the meantime, here is a video from Stainless to set the mood.In May 2015, on Steam, Carmageddon: Reincarnation quit its public beta phase.

Of course, we’ll need to get hands on the full version and review the darn thing before we can be certain, but hopes are running high over here.

Considering it will be packing thirty vehicles, sixty events, and more than ninety different power ups, this looks to be a bargain. In the meantime, the game will be launching for all three platforms for forty dollars. People who already have a Steam copy of Reincarnation will receive the game at no cost as a make good for the previous issues. Needless to say, I am incredibly excited for the game to launch July 8.

Racers idle at the start line ready to tear through the countryside like their hair is on fire, in hopes of causing their opponents hair to actually be on fire. The non-participants are huddled under their beds while the brave and foolish stake out spots along the path.
