Game has been released in Russia. RU version have a few issues with gamepad and video card drivers, but all of them solved in 1.2 patch. Game is great, by the way. Better than Full Auto 2 and much more exiting. Hope you’ll get EU and US release sooner, guys.

Yeah I remember this one. Deathtrack was awesome fun back in the day, but I don’t think I’ll be getting the remake. Times move on.

Ooh a Death Track remake. The original was released by Activision waayy back when this newfangled vga thing was rearing its ugly head… I finally threw out the box a year ago.
I spent a lot of time with this puppy. Skateboards with rocket engines and warheads launched from a moving vehicle, landmines and machine guns… what’s not to love.

Looks like its scattered about the web as abandonware now.

Bring on Carmageddon 4!!
Anything else, including this ‘Death Track’ nonsense is just Mario Kart for lame people …

Anyone remember a game called Redline? It started out being a furturistic cars-with-guns game that touted destructable envrionments . I remember one designer saying you could destroy a chunk of highway to eliminate a competitors escape path. Unfortunately it didn’t work out as well; they tacked on a shitty FPS component and the tech simply wasn’t up to speed with the scope (it came out in the late 90′s). Rollcage was kinda the same, the “destructable environments” amounted to a couple prop buildings that could fall if it hit the right part, but it never meshed with the gameplay. It was always easier, and smarter, to just race.

Has there ever been a game where destructable environments have worked out well? I remember an FPS in development years ago that was going to be based around it, but I don’t remember whatever happened to it.

Any racing title where you can demolish large buildigs is okay in my book.

DeathTrack… the game made by Sierra/Dynamix back in the late 80′s or 90′s?

Actually, I remember playing a “cars with guns” game on the PC in the early 90s called Death Track. They’re probably playing a tribute to it with a subtitle of Resurrection.

I was thinking of Carmageddon: The Death Race 2000.

(What happened to Carmageddon 4 anyway?)

Cool. Because the other thing I was thinking of was the Death Race movie 2000, which has a remake in production and a monochrome game inspired by it.
