The Carmack & The DOOM

Carmack's last statement about patents garnered my everlasting respect. Kudos to John for not limiting his ideas to just id, but he should also watch his as so someone doesn't take his idea, patent it, and screw him over.

The Carmack is an exelent lover

I look forward to taking it up the ass from him every night

Bow before The Carmack, as he is your God now.

doom3 will be neat.

I bet you Carmack is going to make this badboy 64-bit color ONLY! :)

Hmmm, instead of 3d card companies trying to race toward 64 bit color, I would rather see development of 'true virtual reality' headsets. And if 3d card companies really think about it, they will see its in their interest to do it. After the 'next gen' consoles come out, people will be a little {maybe a lot} more reluctant to plunk down $300-400 bucks for the 'next gen' computer 3d card w/64 bit color, if they already have an x-box or PS2.

Who's The Carmack ???????? What he has to do with Doom 3 ????

CARMACK IS MY DARK LORD.

how can everyone not love this man? aahh....he's the greatest.

yes, i'm a carmack fanboy. if anyone in this industry deserves it, it's him.

Carmack: Even now, as we test the DOOM renderer, the level designers constantly present me with pathological uses of resources that I would never consider doing, but they did the first day.

Interesting choice of words from the man who likes to anthropomorphize code. There's a masters thesis waiting to be written based on Carmack's views. :)

Alas, the only thing "pathological" about id's level design of late has been its ability to inspire suicidal boredom.

I want to BUMP tonight! :)

HEHEHEHEHEHE

Doomie Doomie Doomie !

Bump Mapping?

So Like.. Matrox is still in the game? Still haven't seen a card that can do the mapping as well as the G400 could.

bump dat stupid shit

Read Carmacks response to the last question. I have a world of respect for the guy.

Pole Position sucked!

Wait, so Graeme will be programming? I thought he was supposed to be "lead design guy" or something like that.

-Ze BFF d00d

he makes a good point about the patent thing.

Doom 3: Beyond Thunderdome is vaporware.

Features-Schmeatures. We'll believe it when we see it Carmack

Cliff Bleszinski's .plan file has been updated.
Designer Epic MegaGames

Here is a summary of the update made:

"Uh, I must have been on dope the day that I wrote this question for Apache and Voodoo Extreme for their Carmack interview. I didn't finish the question. Crunch mode has a way of draining the brain. The question came across as such:

>>The climate for a successful FPS has changed dramatically since Doom first hit the market. As great as Doom was, any game that comes out now and features 40 hours of mindless shooting with key/door/switch puzzles will be ravaged in the press and sales will suffer. Half Life didn't just raise the bar for SP FPS gaming, it destroyed it, and with the possible exception of System Shock 2 and Deus Ex no game has come close to capturing the public's heart...and gaming dollar.

I meant to finish it with something like:

>>Id is infamous for keeping "lean and mean" with their development team. How do you plan on competing with the raised bar of SP focused FPS gaming with such a lean and mean team now that gamers expect so much more?

There.

Now, I'll get back to my crackpipe. :P "



:D epic guys smoking crack, no wonder!

Notice how he totally evaded making a statement the likes of Romero when he was asked that Half-life raising the bar question? Heh heh, id seems to be going out of it's way not to talk too much about the game play of Doom 3...

...which is a very good thing.

And with his beta testing, in case anyone from id software reads this: make your beta test a totally separate game from the actual one. Different monsters, different levels, and only one weapon that won't be in the real game (pee shooter or something.) I don't want to see the real game until it's installed fully on my hard drive.

Yawn!

JohnnyC? is that what you called him when you got to beta test q3?

ftp://shack:shack@35.10.176.135.:120/upload/archive.xls if anyone has any requests message me........opps wrong topic..

g'nite people.

I've noticed that John always refers to it as DOOM, not Doom3 or anything. So is this the official thing?

Carmack comments again!

i want to KNOW NOTHING of Doom3 until shareware / whatever they call it now is on my HDD

if id fuck this up, i will be eternally vengefull, they've allready taken on a mammoth task they had the option of leaving alone but they decided to ca$h in on the old name

they are make or break on this one - maybe not for profit, but respect.

Uggg I took my last Vicodin..need to go fill to the pharmacy and get more...my head is floating and my arms/legs are numb.....exelent!

I read a post on slashdot. Ugh, I feel so dirty now!
