Excellent news about Carmageddon. I however have much more fond memories of the sequel. Is this on the cards?

Well, if i remember correctly, both games are still owned by the same company, so we should probably see it a few months after we see the first one.

Unless C2 being a Windows title wrecks compatibility.

Is that the one that had "missions"?

GOG probably has it high in the pipeline, but my guess is that they don't want to flood the list with too many new releases. Yes, Carmageddon 2 had some missions, unless you mean TDR2000 which was missions only.

I doubt it since there are a few compatibly fixes for C2 plus GOG has a deal with nglide so that takes care of the 3dfx support. The only real issue I know of and had experienced is the lack of music in game on windows 7.

The music (which is in a form of normal audio CD tracks) plays fine at least on my Win7/64bit machine. But the problem with the re-release would probably be that it isn't only game music, but real music (mostly Iron Maiden I think, "Aces High", "The Trooper" etc.).

I'm not a lawyer, but I presume Stainless Games can't freely distribute the music, so maybe the possible GOG version would ship without music, or some replacement music. Which would be fine to me, the game is nice even without the music, or if you prefer, you can always pop in your Iron Maiden or other hard rock CD and play it in the background while you are crushing pedestrians.

I think I'll add the steps how to make the game (Carmageddon 2) Win7 compatible to the other discussion...

The music was much worse than the one in the first Carmageddon. I don´t care so much about it.

Not a fan of Iron Maiden? :)

But I agree the game is fine even without music.

I've only played the first game and TDR2000. The first game was purely races, and TDR2000 alternated between races and missions (I couldn't complete the very last mission without using cheats though).

I respect Sentience, but I think the music didn´t fit well wih the game, and I also do like Iron Maiden, but not all the music they selected for the game.

I loved Carmageddon 2. But there was something about the first one that was never topped. I think that the more robust cars helped. I wasn't a fan of cars that fell in half like they were cut and shut jobs. Then there's the soundtrack and the total lack of missions.

Carmageddon should be played with Wagner only. =D I never played TDR2000 much, I know it wasn't the best Carma game but I think I should give it another try.

wich one do we get the real bloody gore edition or is it zombie killing time?

And also there were much less pedestrians, I think the game would have been better if they used 2D pedestrians like the first one. But it was also a great game.

Anyway, I am a bit afraid about the new game... I think too hyperrealistic graphics wouldn´t fit with the original Carmageddon gameplay. Anyway, I backed it.

What I've seen so far does not suggest they're going for hyper realism. But yes, you're right, the 2D pedestrians where better. 2's peds were like Minecraft dudes. But at least you got to run over dogs.
