Finally a proper sequel/remake of the classic original.
Posted January 13, 2017
It's definitely a remake and from the looks of it, a shot by shot one.

A lot of the stuff in that trailer are literally frame by frame re-shoots of the original.

AND HOLD ON...

No Machine Gun Joe Viterbo!

PASS!

This looks great and all -- and the idea of a major studio giving a recognizable IP and a big budget to Roger Corman of all people is highly amusing -- but at the end of the day, why would I watch this when I could just play Carmageddon 1/2 instead?

On that note, why haven't we gotten Carmageddon: TDR 2000 yet?

This is NOT a big budget. :P

For the same reason that movies will never stop being made no matter how good games are/will become. Some times you don't want to do anything, just sit/lie down and absorb entertainment, passively.
Also, what in that trailer made you think this is a big budget film?

I guess I just instinctively assumed that big name studio = big budget. And maybe it's just me, but it actually looks like something with at least a respectable budget. Then again, my standard for "low budget" is something like Manos: The Hands of Fate.

And after watching it a second time, I'll actually come out and say that yeah, I'd actually go see it if I could round up a bunch of friends who'd be up for a silly gory action movie. I mean, hey, I love Malcolm McDowell. Oh, and was that John Lithgow in the white car?

And seriously: apart from "because reasons", is there any explanation for GOG not having Carmageddon: TDR 2000?

I got a feeling Torgo's legs cost more than those cars. :P

I have it on Steam, IIRC it's very buggy and has several problems with "modern" hardware and OS. It's probably not easy to fix all those bugs and make it run properly on current machines.

Nothing official from either side. I'd wager a guess that GOG is not interested in a game that its current owners (and developers of Carmageddon 1+2) consider it a pile of flaming poo. Yes, they released it on Steam, but only after putting various notices in the storepage such as:

Overview
The turd game in the Carmageddon series...

Yes, it's the game literally... SOME of you asked for! And so, in the spirit of "well, alright then, if you insist..." we present the third game in the Carmageddon series, in the knowledge that some of you Carma fans out there would like to have a complete Carmageddon collection in your Steam library. Nothing wrong with that.
I think it could still come along with Carmageddon: Max Damage. At least, when Stainless finally creates the DRM-Free build for the latter.

Has Malcolm McDowell aged at all from Wing Commander 3 (or was it 4)?

He looks 10 years younger than when he appeared in Insurrection. Amazing. Also love him as an actor. He has something of a Christopher Walken quality in him.

He was in Heart of the Tiger AND Price of Freedom.

Looks like a perfect movie for a beer & pretzel evening!

And I have to admit i still haven't seen the original. *hides in shame*

Yeah! I saw this as definitive proof of the existence of the Supreme God of Heavy Metal and that He loves us. ^_^
