John Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Video
Donnie D writes "Video of id Software's John Carmack is available from his address to QuakeCon 2006 last week. It was comparable to his down to earth speech presented last year when he focused on next generation console gaming. This year, he focused on multi-processor support in games. Mentioned in his address are interesting details such as NVIDIA's sponsorship of Armadillo Aerospace for the X-Prize competition, vague details on id's next game, and topics related to his cell phone games. The video includes 1 hour and 20 minutes of Carmack's address."
Wow, talk about embarrassing yourself in public...
It's long past time this clown retired, the graphics world doesn't need to hear about some relic from the 1990s x86 first person shooter era whine about how he is unprepared for modern console development.
John, please, do the console world a favor, cancel your console versions of your games. No one will mind, and honestly quite a few might actually be thankful.
What's that? The x86 game market continues to decline and you hope jumping to consoles will save you...Should have spent the last five years doing something other than hoping Intel will keep cranking up single core x86 chips so you don't have to deal with 'teh scary world of teh multi-threading'...
