Carmageddon: Reincarnation is a part of the Steam Winter Sale, and the developer Stainless Games has announced Santa’s Bulging Fun Sack update, which adds two new cars and 60fps gameplay.
”To help everyone get in the festive mood, today we’re releasing Update 3 for Carmageddon: Reincarnation. And what’s Santa got for you in his bulging Update sack? Well, Santa’s pleased to announce the coming of the first TRACKED vehicle to the game!” announced the studio, ”Yes, Heinz Faust is back in his updated killer ride. This new version is called the “Blitzkrieger”, and it’s got a terrifying set of tank tracks more than capable of crushing everything in its path!”
The update also brings some gameplay and graphic tweaks and additions. Most prominent is the addition of 60fps gameplay for players with rigs good enough to handle it. Adding the Blitzkreiger has enabled support for vehicles that use more than 4 wheels to get around.
It also adds a new damaging model that accounts for the possibility of a chassis twisting when it gets damaged enough. ”Any damage that causes whole body deformation – things like the damage you get from Mines, Slaughter Mortar, Mine Shitting Ability and Earthquake Bomb – now includes a chance for a chassis twist!” explained Stainless. ”It can even happen through extreme damage, such as falling off a very tall building or very high speed impacts. Whilst fiddling in this area, we also made the Earthquake Bomb do more mine-like damage.”
