Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory
An anonymous reader writes "CNN/Money interviewed id Software wizard John Carmack at the recently completed QuakeCon. Among the topics discussed is Nintendo's recent announcement that today's games are too complicated and hard for players. Carmack, surprisingly, agrees, saying 'I agree strongly with that point of view, but I'm in the minority in the PC space. I want a game you can sit down with, pick up and play. [Role playing games], for example, got to where they had to have a book ship with the game.'"
Well, duh!
I want a game I can just pick up and play.
Because I don't have much free time to play a game.
This doesnt mean difficult to me, a game can have a simple control scheme and style of play but still be extremely challenging.
I just never went in for the type of thing where every key does something different and blah blah, like Mechwarrior and such.
But, I think doom/quake/rtcw are boring and old and I dont find them fun.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Um, I'm sorry to tell you, but 3DFX went out of business and no longer writes drivers for its hardware. Therefore, Voodoo cards don't work with any new games.
