Remember Vigilante8 on Playstation 1 ? Who's for making a V8 / Wacky Races Mod ?

Check out this trooper, pimpin' it in his 1955 Porsche (not my model btw, just a concept test). We could have Classic '50s cars for CW and '70s/80's cars for GCW (Starsky&Hutch or Knightrider, anyone?)

omfg. I rented that game once. Dayum it's old now. It was kinda outshine by Twisted Metal.
What a nice way of flaunting your turbolaser at the same time.

I can't really remember it that well...I only have a playstation(original) and n64, but I only had the game a few days. I remember a couple of the guys like that guy in the motorhome type thing with thebeehives that sent swarms as an attack, and I remember a few levels like the las vegas type place at night...

LOL! The attack bees were really funny... there was a schoolbus and a UFO (that may have been in the sequel), an awesome rocket launcher... kinda like an early hailfire droid...

I remember the schoolbus and kinda remember the rocket launcher...Wasn't the UFO an unlockable? I remember shooting at it but never got to be it I think.

all we need now is a pogo stick or a pod racer, perhaps a bicycle!

Imagine... storm troopers on bikes... or rebels bouncing up and down on pogo sticks.... Perhaps even a boat... or a hover craft, mmmhmmm.

We're kicking a lot of ideas around right now, so it's impossible to say what will and won't be in. I put a lot of work into making the turret so I'm keen to have it in a map, but it'll depend what direction we go in. It may end up as a Death Star trench run with a bunch of sports cars instead of X-Wings 8) If we do cut it, it may be hidden in the released .lvl as a bonus for those who know how to find such things. The turret was something I was working on a while back, and over the weekend stumbled over how to make it work when I was researching something completley different. Serendipity :D
