Carmack and the X-box
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 14, 2000 12:53pm PDTThe guys at PlanetXbox are reporting that John Carmack will be on the Xbox technical advisory board, so he will no doubt have some influence in the technical design of the Microsoft console. Of course, so far id has not announced development for the machine, a lot depends on whether or not OpenGL will be supported.
New Zone of the Enders project underway
Carmageddon ploughing into GOG
Harry Potter for Kinect announced
Mad Riders trailer goes heavy on the meta

Why I oughta ..........
behold the power of cheeze!
The x-box will be preferred to developers. Why? Because it is very much like a PC. We just printed out an errata document that is 250 pages long for the psx2 (due mainly because of translation errors from japenese to english). This along with all of the custom coding of the CPUs makes developing on the PSX2 much more difficult.
The stuff that The Carmack is working (beyond which all I can say is that it is increadible) is more suited towards the x-box's rendering abilities.
And for my cryptic message: remember the power of cheese...

The French call this the "Arabic telephone effect" (I'm not sure if that's the politically correct terminology however!)
Samples @ http://www.turrell.clara.co.uk/clara.net/t/u/r/turrell/webspace/boa/main.html -- for the curious.
I particularly love "Duvet" and "drinking." You can find some mp3's on napster if you look hard enough. Those guys are gonna be popular here in a year or two, I think.

This thing has 733mhz P3, 64 megs of ram, 8 gig hard drive (that can be used to record TV), DVD-ROM, broadband NIC card, sweet sound chip, a mega souped up NVidia card and the fact that it is strictly for gaming make it hard to beat. All this for $200 what a steal. Now Carmack is involved - - - - sign me up!
