FiringSquad has posted the 2nd part of their John Carmack interview. It's long as hell and of course interesting if you want to know what Mr. Carmack is working on next. Here's a bit:

John: We probably are going to be going a different way with our next game, because not everyone at the company does feel the same way I do about that. So we're likely going to be doing something a bit different next time, but we haven't exactly settled on it yet. FS: Have you decided if it's going to still be a first-person game? John: It's very likely to still be a first person game, but it may not be an action game.

  • I\'m not exactly sure where I stand on the whole Doom re-hash idea, except that I know I loved the original game so much I wouldn\'t want the image tarnished by a poor replication of the original.

    On the other hand, I also crave the ability to play with that kind of atmosphere using new technology. Imagine how much better the sound, graphics and music could be if it was worked on properly. Maybe Valve should attempt to swing a deal with iD. They\'re pretty much th only company out there I would have enough faith in to reproduce the same \'feel\' as Doom produced. Still nothing will really beat the feeling we all got the first time we booted up Doom. That was mind-blowing...

























  • dude i think the point is that UT bots suck ass. I don\'t care about the \"gameplay\" whatever shit, but
    Q3A bots rock
    Q3A graphics rock
    which means that from a programming standpoint they make a kickass program, but not necissarily a kickass game. However, with Graeme and some attention to Valve\'s development process, their new game could rock because seriously, Carmack\'s end of things is in quite good shape (and i think mr.elusive will crank out a kickass AI next time around, school or not) so hopefully Graeme replaces romero. what do y\'all think lol
