Pseudo Interactive’s Closing Killed New Carmageddon?

A new sequel to the racing game for the chemically imbalanced has reportedly been canned with the recent closing of Pseudo Interactive. The developer of Full Auto was shutdown following major layoffs by the hand of Eidos and SCi, who more recently scrapped several games – including one in development by Pseudo, which was, according to Next Gen, a new Carmageddon.
They claim this news comes from a senior games industry executive that isn’t connected to either Eidos or Pseudo. If true, it’s simultaneously disappointing and exciting. While it’s a shame that Pseudo wasn’t able to follow through with development of a new Carmageddon – which is a pretty natural step after having developed Full Auto – at least it shows that there was some interest in rebooting the franchise.
Does anyone else have fond memories of any of the old Carmageddon games, or am I alone on this one?
Ahhhh Carmageddon… good ol’ times
. You’re not alone here pal.
Last week I told some of my friends I was really looking forward to a new Carmageddon game. Bummer that there was one planned but got canceled… (why!!??why!!??)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Carmageddon 2 was awesome! a carmageddon in todays gaming would would have been amazing….
one of the former concept artist of Pseudo has some work of a project on his site called “crude awakening” which was the code name for the new Carmagedon. check out the work. http://www.robertorobert.com looks like the look would have been like Team fortress. Man it looks like it could be so good. WHY GAMING GOODS WHY?!?!
