Stainless has announced that Carmageddon: Reincarnation is now available – in advance of its scheduled Early Access launch date – as part of the “Rewards” package for Backers who part funded the game’s development on Kickstarter.
As the team noted, the game will be available exclusively for “VIP Backers” (who funded the game at the qualifying tier) for two weeks before the full Early Access launch on 27th March.
Stainless ran a successful campaign on Kickstarter (the popular crowd-funding service) in 2012, raising over $600k of funding.
Neil “nobby” Barnden, Carmageddon Brand Director, said:
“With the game at a point where we know that playing it is already great fun, it feels like the right point to get it out there. Launching the game now means that we can get invaluable feedback from the community playing the game, which will help us to make the finished game the best it can be.”
Have fun and stay tuned for more!

LOL the textures aren’t even done… At least I really hope those aren’t final. Seeing these vids has me worried for this game early access or not.
The article doesn’t mention it but the game is in Pre-Alpha State. I don’t expect the game to have fully textured environment when the early access goes live for the non vip or higher backers in two weeks. Optimization of the game will also be one of the last things we’re going to see before the actual release date, they’re focusing on graphics, sound, mechanics and such in the alpha and pre-alpha state. Atm. the game requires a pretty beasty PC to run more or less smooth but when that’s said… The game feels and plays like the old Carmageddon games, it’s so awesome =D
I’m glad it looks, sounds and feels like a Carmageddon game. Let’s hope they add level textures and optmized the game for early access (both videos have low framerate).
i hate that it doesn;t have cockpit view
