The handling is great!

[Korben Tanner]

Since there are so many threads in here complaining about the handling i want to show there are also people who are liking it. And i like it a lot. Arcady with just enough realism so it doesnt get boring. Well, atleast its great with the xbox360 gamepad. I dont know if its the same with keyboards.

[Fabbelito]

I agree!

Except for the Annihilator. Impossible to drive!

funny story

i'm not nearly as bad at driving in Carmageddon as i am in Project Cars using a controller of course.

The handling is fine. Carma was never about glued to the ground handling (though there is at least one powerup which provides this).. different cars also behave differently..

Just like gravity was never entirely realistic either yet you still could predict... well most of it :p

I was having a hard time at first but that was because you have to test every car you unlock, as some have drastically different handling characteristics. I finally unlocked a car that is much more responsive and it feels much better overall.

The first couple of unlocked cars seem very hard to control, I wish there was more detailed stats for the cars so you can better see how it's going to perform.

actually i think it depends on the car. some cars have great handling others have very bad and unreal. like projext X compared to faust. both cars have tracks not wheels. faust is much much heavier and have much smaller tracks still have 10 times better grip than project X. why???? some cars have god grip some feels like on ice all the time.

LOL. You are right, @Spocks Toupee. The cars handle better in this game than the first 2. I really don't count TDR2000. Different company altogether made it. Torus.

You whine a lot for a guy your age, don't you?

It seems you keep ignoring advice and instead just want to rant. Read my post(s)

See - these are the exact people I'm talking about.

They play for an hour and go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because they expect magic cars that do all the driving for them apparently. The handling isn't much different from Carma 2 (which still has the best handling in the series IMO) and I know this because I just finished playing some about an hour ago.

The most helpful advice I can give - get a refund from Steam. You're under 2 hours of playtime, they won't refuse it.

Agree with you 100% OP, it takes me right back to the classic Carma games of old. They were totally unique in their handling (and overall physics) and nothing since has come close to replicating that craziness and the very high skill ceiling required to master it - until now!

The team at Stainless have beautifully demonstrated what all Carmageddon fans knew already - any studio can make a decent racing game, any studio can make a decent destruction derby game, but only Stainless can make a Carmageddon game. Shame no one told that to SCI or Torus back in 2000, otherwise we probably wouldn't have had to wait almost 20 years to relive the magic.

Exactly. Powerslide-piledriving peds is one of my favorite things to do in Carmageddon games

i even happen to find myself enjoying driving The Plow and Subpressor just because they are quite fast and can surprisingly powerslide well

Guys, if anyone feels there is an input lag, contact the devs or create a thread. It is important to get it solved.
