Tasteless, based on that gif. I don't like doing random shit to people in GTA so I will be avoiding the fuck out of this game. In fact I'd rather forget that everything I saw in this thread.
Carmageddon does not take itself seriously in a "kill them all!" Manner (unlike Hatred).
It' more like "omg i just sent a granny flying accross the map with a giant spring lol!". As the developers say, Carmageddon's humour could be compared to Looney Tunes mixed with dark humour, it's not gorey just for shock value.
I understand that not everybody enjoys that kind of humour, though.
As for the game, I am looking forward to it. Had lots of fun with Reincarnation on Pc. It's a pity the engine is quite old and thus some of the textures are low-res (same engine that powered Carmageddon2 in 1998, but improved over the years) but gameplay-wise this game is awesome. And the multiplsyer kicks ass too
