Gamasutra: Does it scare you when you see Crysis... or, I don't know. What's the biggest competitor in the game engine market? Is it id's stuff, or is it another company?
Sweeney: Today, it's Crysis. Because Crysis is doing some things on high-end PCs that we're not doing ourselves. That's a tricky case though, because we could do vastly more than we're currently doing if we focused on supporting dual high-end video cards, which have about 10 times the graphics horsepower of a console today....
Gamasutra: So you'd have to create a perfectly realistic virtual human first to have perfectly realistic graphics.
Sweeney: Yeah, you'd have to simulate the brain and nervous system in the computer.
Has this guy ever made a multiplayer game? Yet he "knows" how easy are they to make. Funny, thing. Team Fortress 2 took 9 years of Valve's spare time to spawn. Nine fucking years. And I doubt Blizzard would describe WoW as an easy task. Looks like this silly clown does not realize how much effort is is needed to provide the players with the means to actually PLAY the damn game.
Kinda hate guys like him. He wants to take the control from the player and make the game more like a movie. Well, gues what moron, I am a gamer and I pay for games with GOOD multiplayer only.
Anyway, he's making single-player games which I will never play because I simply hate story-driven, deep games in which the player is led by his nose. No thanks dude, I'd prefer Quake Live any day.
Activision is only a publisher and does not own the rights over any id Software IP. A co-owner and a founder (can't remember if it was Adrian Carmack) id was fired because he wanted to sell to Activision.
Yeah, because I am sick of reading complete bullshit rated as Insightful. And pointing they are incorrect. But oh well, this is slashdot so why bother anyway.
First and foremost, id Software, Epic and basically every game company makes their engines with their specific needs in mind.
Renderware is EA property anyway. Unreal Engine is relatively cheap and for the last couple of years we've seen a crap load of shit and honestly really bad looking games made with it. Gamebryo is not really a competitor. Or you really thinkg the same tech was used for Civilization IV and Fallout 3?
Cut the crap dude. I won't bother talking about Doom with people like you. But id Software is indeed doing completely new stuff. Name's Rage. Now shut up.
I don't believe he is capable of making proper sci-fi movie. OK, Alien was great but then again Aliens and Alien: Resurrection are far better Alien movies.
Also, I never liked Blade Runner. It's dull.
James Cameron is the right man for this kind of job.
First, I suggest you try Warsow. Someone already mentioned it so there's not much to say.
Now on Quake Live. The beta is going extremely well, although, very slow. Their website is actually better than most, if not all, current games' GUI systems. The matchmaking thing is also working like a charm. I'd say Quake Live is going to rock when the public beta kicks off. The ads fit extremely well as Quake 3 had big video screens from 1999.
It's basically Quake 3 gameplay with some tweaks the so called "casual gamers" may or may not notice at all.
The only "problem" I see with QL is that it may not be as easy to play at work as one might suspect. At least not for everyone. At work, I am only able to log into the site but not install (and then play) it. The installer tries to put files in Documents and settings folder which as well as in system/32.
They only thing that other sites don't have is Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. This guy's video reviews are hilarious. I love this guy when he bash RPG's and ohhh I really do. MGS4 review was pretty good too.
Slashdot Mirror
true, the game was released a few months before StarCraft. slashdot wouldn't let me edit my post, though.
And Age of Empires 2 was released back in Feb 1996, which makes it 13 years old now.
:)
doh, why do I even bother. He's going to be modded 5 and I'll be -859365834 troll for speaking the truth
Dude, it's mid 2009 now and I am yet to see a game that beats late 2005 / early 2006 games in the graphics area. Except Crysis, that is.
And why do you bother speaking about the problems today's gamers are facing since you are not even one of them?
The point being... you got it all wrong.
Just about any 40nm Core 2 CPU is overclockable to at least 4GHz without much trouble, ie. no voltage increase.
Perfectly Realistic Game Graphics 10-15 Years Away

That part of his interview was most interesting to me.

Some pretty funny quotes:

Beer? You must be easily attracted to ugly women then. I use vodka for this kind of "needs".

And I have never heard of you until now.
That's funny!
Good for FileFront. Love their service. Thank you, Original owners.
It's heavily modified Doom 3 engine. Modified by Raven. They also licensed HAVOK for the physics.

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Go read wiki to learn what Wolfenstein is all about.
An "Insightful" for this crap? Give me a break.
This "new" trailer is now about 2 weeks old. The article at Joystiq is pure crap and a shit summary of old, badly interpreted news.
Why not write about that stuff when it's actually new?
ok, mod this as flamebait. I know the drill
this is ridiculous
Gaming articles on slashdot are almost exclusively late and poorly written. As in pure crap.
Why bother writing about games when you don't care and don't know anything about them anyway.
Slashdot is always, and I mean ALWAYS weeks late when it comes to games, so why bother using words such as "early"?
Also, the article is poorly written.
Yeah, because I am sick of reading complete bullshit rated as Insightful. And pointing they are incorrect. But oh well, this is slashdot so why bother anyway.
shht, this won't win you any +5 for making troll statements.
I agree completely. Except that FPS games don't bore me at all if they are sci-fi.

exaggerating a little bit? You don't know what you are talking about. I hate when uninformed people talk about games and gamers.

I see a new agency to observe / control these.
