Carmageddon: Max Damage will shift gears to 1080p on PlayStation 4 and 900p on Xbox One, developer Stainless Games has announced.
Speaking during a chinwag with GamingBolt, the studio’s Co-Founder and Brand Director, Neil Barnden, also revealed that the upcoming reboot of the 90s gory racing series will run at 30fps on both formats.
However, Barnden trampled over any hopes of seeing Max Damage receive PlayStation VR support, suggesting the technology is better suited to other genres.
“VR is far better suited to 1st person gaming experience than one designed for a 3rd person view. We did recently implement a 1st person view into C:MD (again, as a response to community feedback), but because the cars weren’t designed with this view in mind it’s often a less than perfect experience (albeit fun!). So no – at present we have no plans to do a VR version.
“It would be better to start from scratch on a new game design, with VR as a focus from the outset.”
Carmageddon: Max Damage offers over 30 different cars for players to jump into and cause all manner of vehicular mayhem, along with more than 10 environments to splatter red with the blood of their unfortunate pedestrian victims.
When you’re not mowing down legions of innocent folk in wheelchairs, cyclists and even aliens, there’s a career mode to tackle featuring six different event types, a multiplayer mode with four event modes, plus heaps of power-ups and an Action Replay Mode.
Carmageddon: Max Damage is unleashed on PS4, PC and Xbox One in the U.K. on June 3.
