Yes, it's very near, says Sam. You can see it, look. I, er, thought that was just a pokey-out bit of England. The Isle of Wight is just a pokey-out bit of England," says Sam, sagely.
It's just that there's a moat surrounding it. The island's near enough to Southampton to warrant a bridge or a tunnel, but the islanders don't want one built.
They like the isolation. They call us mainlanders. Do they have sheep? Yes, they have sheep. Lots of sheep. An hour passed. Another incorrect assumption: I thought we'd be able to walk from the jetty to Stainless Software. In fact I thought we'd be able to walk from the jetty to everywhere.
But the Isle of Wight's a tad bigger than that. Cue the oldest taxi driver in the world -a woman, aged about You should be able to find where you're looking for from there. Thanks, said Sam. Eventually we did manage to locate the Stainless Software office, and were greeted by Patrick, the md, who's all hair and beard.
A suit-free zone, then. There was much laughter and merriment emanating from a nearby room, which we duly entered. The cause of the merriment was now obvious: it was the Stainless staff playing Carmageddon and enjoying replays. Again and again. Think about it, though: these blokes have been working on the game for god knows how long, yet here they were, hooting and hollering as if they'd just seen it for the first time.
Speaks volumes, I thought. Eventually the room cleared and Patrick started to show me the current state of Carmageddon. There are basically three ways to play," he explained. First, you can just race the other cars, through the checkpoints, in an attempt to place first. Fair enough.
Or, of course, you can go for the pedestrians. Kill them all for a win -not forgetting that you also get points for style. Okey dokey. Finally, you can attempt to take out all the other cars: the last one left moving is the winner. He proceeded to show me some of the tracks - although Cworlds' would really be more appropriate. How many are there? I asked. Thirty-six in total, he replied. There are five totally different environments, too, he added.
And 25 cars, many of which you'll be able to drive yourself. As you'll have seen from the cover cd, no part of the game map' is off-limits and this is true of all 36 tracks: if there's a ledge, you can fall off it. If there's a tall building, there's probably a ramp somewhere, aiming towards it. That sort of thing, and much, much more. He was zooming about, trying to locate one of the biggest drops in the game and, once he'd found it, he did exactly what you or I would've done. The car bounced and buckled off the sides of the vertical mine shaft all the way down to what must surely have been the centre of the earth.
Then we watched the replay, which looked even better. The replay camera is intelligent, explained Patrick. It knows where you're going and switches to the best jsitions as you drop or pass. It makes sure your view is never blocked.
Then he loaded up a track which had a Cbeach scene', a la Baywatch. And what carnage followed! What superb artistry. Blood and oil, all over the sand, and not a single surfer or cow spared.
And then, switching to the inside cockpit view, Patrick plunged into the sea. There was a Pamela Anderson chick paddling about and, being submerged, all we could see from within the cockpit were her legs. Patrick floored the throttle, and then switched to the replay. Automatic close-up of screaming girl, with distant Cfin' ie the top bit of the car heading towards her from behind. Gib city. Here we have a small British software company, located in the middle of nowhere, with only nine members of staff, and yet what's being produced will blow you away.
If I was into buying shares, I'd buy some in this. The philosophy at Stainless Software is that the player should never feel constricted, and that certainly applies to Carmageddon.
However, that doesn't mean you're given complete freedom and no gameplay: there's a proper Cstructure' involved, in which you work your way up the rankings from 99th to First place, and, as you progress, are given access to new tracks, power-ups and hardware. Or something like that, anyway. Wait for the review to see how these sorts of things click into place although I strongly suspect we're looking at a game to rival Quake.
Personally, though. I'm even more interested in seeing what'll happen when a Daily Snail journo gets wind of it. Imagine the outcry! Still, just to pre-empt the bastards I've written my own Daily Snail-style shock horror piece. Have a look at the panel below and compare it with the real McCoy when the shit eventually hits the fan The warnings are being ignored, but for countless youngsters these heinous games are simply part of everyday culture: blah blah blah.
Decline of morals: blah blah blah. Innocent children unwittingly exposed to Satan's squirty bowel movements: blah blah blah. Mentally scarred infants: blah blah blah. Tiny kittens, butchered mercilessly.
Blah blah. Hail Mary. Carmageddon threatens our comfortable middle class existence: blah blah. Makes a mockery of those who died in the two World Wars: blah blah. We must stand firm. This darkly seductive game will turn children into drug addicts, muggers, rapists, lesbians, and one-parent families. It is vital to send the right signals to youngsters before it's too late.
We must bring back National Service if we're to avoid this terrible cultural degeneration. String everybody up. Hanging's too good for 'em.
Moral apocalypse. Blah blah blah Auto racing fans are in for a twisted turbo boost with Interplay's new take on carnage, Carmageddon. Frantic but flawed, this hot-rod hellion of a game might just turn inexperienced drivers into mincemeat!
While your main goal in Car-mageddon is to win the race, you'll spend most of your time driving over varied terrain, slamming into opponents, pulling acrobatic stunts, and plowing through screaming pedestrians.
Especially notable although of questionable taste are the piles of mush you'll create from pulverizing people and cows--if you drive through their remains, you can create tire tracks of blood. On the options side, Carmageddon features 5 environments, 26 vehicles, and 36 tracks. If that's not enough, multiplayer Carmageddon has options that will keep you running with a full tank all night long.
Despite its outrageous action and appearance, Carmageddon is a few cylinders short of a V The sound is solid, but the low-res graphics limit your visibility. Also, you'll want to use a joystick; the keyboard controls are frustrating and sluggish. Perhaps the game's most disappointing aspect is that it's centered more on gore and sheer destruction than on racing.
Gamers who prefer a driving sim with more meat in the action than on the road should look elsewhere. SCI has a new car game with a familiar theme. Bash the hell out of your opponent while trying to complete a race. The difference here is that you're rewarded for mass carnage, which helps you upgrade weapons, and you get extra points for nailing pedestrians, which gauging by these early preview screens, looks like it could make for a messy drive.
Race against 25 psychotic drivers on five 3D tracks, and experience a new twist--you can run someone off the road, then steal their car! Carmageddon could spell the end of civilized driving! Carmageddon is a demented form of racing game where the player has to compete against 25 other maniacs through five totally different racing environments.
You earn credits for automatic damage repair and can even expand your tool of destruction with upgradeable parts from the parts shop. One really interesting feature is how you can even ditch your own wrecked car on the curb-side and steal another driver's dragster.
