QuakeCon id Software Keynote Coverage
ruiner5000 writes "If you are not at lucky enough to be at this year's QuakeCon, then you might be wondering what John Carmack and crew are up to. Well, John is a father of a baby boy as of yesterday, so he was not here for his traditional talk on what id is up to. Instead, he appeared on pre-recorded video, followed by normal Q and A session with other id personnel. AMDZone has full coverage of the id keynote, including some pics for your enjoyment. If you want to know about the next engine, the Xbox, OS X, and Linux ports, id's standing on piracy, or Carmack's vision of game engines for movie rendering, then give it a read." S!: There's also continuing QuakeCon coverage over at GameSpy, including a long interview with Todd Hollenshead.
Doom 3 is nothing but Quake 3 with special lighting and texture effects. Huge let down by the way, it's soon to be overshadowed by HL2 and the next Unreal engine.
Quake 4 isn't even being developed by id, they're letting ravensoft do all the work.
Carmack is also busy diddling with Aerospace Armadilldos or whatever. Looks like this is the end of the once innovative and groundbreaking game developing id as we knew them.
Nauseating fanboyism.
I think I'm going to fucking hurl.
"grand things are done by folks who don't have kids"
WTF???
Yeah, some clown who has written the same fucking games over and over again for over a decade. Whop dee fucking do!
Uh, thx for the, uh, advice, dumbass.
Poor little Mac owners like me with dual G5s and 9800 Pros.
Sniff.
"your game options consist of Blizzard, iD, Epic, and whichever of the various companies have ported the DnD games."
Bzzzt!
You fail it retard.
No wonder every-time they survey the intellegence of computer users, the peecee user come out at the bottom.
"And a damn good coder to boot."
Says who?
Have you ever even met a game engineer in real life, little fanboy?
It's a fricken game for crying out loud. It should not require that much power.
I'm waiting for computer game developer to wake up and start coding fast and "playable" games again.
Back to my Game Cube I guess.
Jesus was a compassionate social conservative who called individuals to sin no more.
It's Carmack's dog, what did you expect - Not all red eye effects are just in photos. Every time he lests that mutt out, it's doom for my rododendrons. One more urinated pentagram on my lawn and I'm breaking out the BFG-13,000. ... And yeah, his wife's cute.
Who is John Cabal?
