9/13/2023 0 Comments Carmageddon ps4![]() Some events give you the choice to either go for the checkpoints, annihilate the other drivers, or kill a target number of civilians, while other events demand that you stick to the route provided and just race. ![]() OK, that sounds better than it is, but when you’re in the middle of a race, it’s not an ideal situation.Īh, actually, it doesn’t really matter because the A.I of the opposing drivers is particularly terrible. Trying to pull off anything more complex than driving in a straight line often sees your vehicle careening out of control, spinning around with limbs, heads, and wheelchairs flying in the air. Cars don’t ever feel like they’re in your complete control and the frame-rate flying around really doesn’t help matters. Unfortunately it’s not just the graphics that are a let down in the technical department the frame-rate is piss poor and fluctuates every few seconds. For a franchise that was once dripping in controversy due to it’s at the time realistic portrayal of vehicular violence, it’s a bit of a let-down that the modern version actually looks quite tame when compared to some of the other stuff out on the market. It looks like a game that would have been considered ‘alright’ back in the middle of the PS3’s era, but those days are long gone and we should expect something a little higher quality.Įnvironments look flat and uninspired, while pedestrians are about as basic as the developers could get away with before people scream “stick men?!! WTF!” At least the vehicles don’t look half bad, and considering the damage they take that gets rendered as it happens, they could look a lot worse, but it’s still not up to scratch, really. We’ve been spoiled with glamourous releases since the PS4 came out but Carmageddon: Max Damage doesn’t aim to please the eye. One of the first things I noticed was just how not-next-gen the game looked. Thankfully some of the locations in the latter stages of the game looked pretty nice, though nothing stood out as being particularly memorable. A bleak town that just needed to be painted red with blood. Don’t forget the killing.ĭriving through the first location wasn’t the best first impression the game could have presented to me: the city was a bland, lifeless hell hole devoid of all life and colour. To collect points you need to kill, race, kill some more, and then, if you feel like it, race some more. To progress through the game you need to collect points. Pretty standard, then, though the ability to mow down the aforementioned members of society does give it a bit of spice. There’s a wealth of locations to drive around in, and each one offers a handful of various events. No, Carmageddon: Max Damage is a certified B release, and the B stands for ‘budget.’ Let’s start with the positives: the gameplay is pretty funny for the most part, and the lengthy single-player offering is more than you’d get from most full-priced AAA releases. On one hand, I really do enjoy the mindless killing of fat hookers, cripples, nuns, dogs, and all the rest, but on the other hand, the game runs like turd and just isn’t that enjoyable for more than a few minutes at a time. Carmageddon: Max Damage hasn’t been an easy game to review.
