[TommyT]

He says Doom 4 so many times, he's either immersed in it or worried about it.

He pretty much just said that the entire company is going to all hands with Doom 4 soon.

[Technosteve]

I love this. I want a weekly podcast called "On There" where it's just John talking for 3 hours about his current work.

[Xyber]

Oh god, what happened to the sound!?

Everything Carmack is saying is breaking my heart. Rage was awesome. Flawed? sure, but VERY good. Dissolving the mobile game division - despite making money - to focus on games that hit it out of the park for Bethesda is lamentable. When Carmack is excited to tinker with fun, quick-out- concepts that play in the mobile world, we get great stuff like RAGE on iOS, and gaming is better for it. Until RAGE, we didn't even think iOS could push those kinds of graphics!

But the thing that's REALLY killing me is that he's saying that he's acknowledging the difficulty level in older games when compared to newer games, and compensating accordingly. WTF?@! Doom 3 was many things, but NOT hard. The ammo-stinginess and darkness was what made DOOM 3 so appealing. This...'push', it seems, by Bethesda, to make the games more (and these are my own words) "accessible", is very disturbing.

Rage, for all of it's faults, was the best 'feeling' shooter I've played in YEARS. ID makes games that PLAY right. IF Bethesda is taking away their slavish devotion to fidelity and performance (albeit slow), their 'hardcore' feel, and their fun side projects...

..Now I'm VERY concerned. I really like Carmack, both as a person and a visionary genius. I wish he was a Valve. Seriously.

And I'm a console guy.

[Fersis]

Damn i totally missed Carmack talk :(

[Totobeni]

Carmack' son better make Doom 13 on id-tech 9 in the future

[Technosteve]

[Delusibeta]

Damn i totally missed Carmack talk :(

[Tobe]

yeah its a little sad to hear him talk about this. its pretty obvious that he always just wanted to program and Romero + their little team is what made such great games. now he has a big team of people that lead to something as mediocre and muddled as Rage, and I don't expect much from Doom 4

[papersleeves]

Damn I love listening to this guy.

[ciridesu]

Hearing Carmack speak always gives me the weirdest boner

To be fair id's main issue last decade was lack of proper development lead, direction and focus, and I feel Bethesda can really help in that regard as they have good personnel for it.

The leaked Doom 4 pictures didn't look like the doom I've been waiting for and proper reassessment all-around was seemingly needed. I'd claim id still has the most say in the big design philosophy decisions and such so I'm not that worried about it.

[2MF]

One of these years I'll have to spend $1000 on a round-trip to Texas around August...

[Fersis]

YES!
lol at the thought of programmers arguing with Carmack about best practices. lol

Game Engines are more complex than NASA code - Programming God Carmack

[KingKong]

haha just casually dropping that he's working on the next xbox and playstation, so cool

[DopeyFish]

Well at least on Xbox, it is known he is one of the few developers on the advisory panel for Xbox hardware

So it would be likely he's been talking with at least Microsoft about it for a long while now

[Baller, PhD]

More Mac shit, fuck yeah. :-)

[2MF]

"Intel's latest integrated graphics are good, the drivers are not" <- paraphrased.

[Randdalf]

Just casually dropped in Steam Box to the talk

[PnCIa]

Quote from the live chat: "i couldnt work with guy who has such verbal diarrhea". I love hearing John talking about anything but this is funny :P

[ekim]

What?

[Baller, PhD]

He hasn't even paused to take a drink of water. Dude is an animal.

[dragonelite]

I believe he is also part of the DirectX panel or am i confused?

[2MF]

I think that term is highly inappropriate in the context of Carmack, but if it's funny for some then all the power to them ;)

[Raptor]

I want more than one Doom every decade John!!

[Randdalf]

What?

He was talking about Valve and mentioned Steam Box but I think he was speculating.

[KingKong]

I wonder if he would have a better time working at Valve where they would just give him whatever he wants to work on engines or drivers or anything

it seems like he's really being constrained by Bethesda and by iD basically needing to make Doom 4

[DopeyFish]

I believe he is also part of the DirectX panel or am i confused?

Without a doubt, he is.

[2MF]

He was talking about Valve and mentioned Steam Box but I think he was speculating.

He made it very clear that he has no insider info which is why he can speculate (no NDAs).

[ekim]

I hope I can watch this later on YouTube.

[Mr Swine]

I want more than one Doom every decade John!!

Me too, I'm will get disappointed if they don't show anything this year :/

[Tobe]

The VR tech talk started <3 <3 <3

[2MF]

All this talk about latency makes me think he's not a fan of Onlive :P

[Delusibeta]

All this talk about latency makes me think he's not a fan of Onlive :P

Turns out he's not a fan of most monitor manufacturers.

[Tobe]

Fuck input lag!!!! Long Live Carmack!!!

[Fried Food]

oh wow. He just dropped some mad truth on latency with TVs/monitors

This man...

[dragonelite]

oh wow. He just dropped some mad truth on latency with TVs/monitors This man...

He twittered a lot about it some months ago.

[derFeef]

oh wow. He just dropped some mad truth on latency with TVs/monitors This man...

Like last year IIRC.

[Lazy Jones]

He twittered a lot about it some months ago.

Yep, I remember seeing it on there.

[Fried Food]

He twittered a lot about it some months ago.

Yeah those were some damn good tweets

[2MF]

He wisely pointed out that it should not take longer for a frame to get from the computer to your eyes two feet away, than a TCP/IP packet travelling from the US to Europe...

[Dictator93]

carmack is a blast and a joy to watch. What a great guy

[derFeef]

Bios drift.
?

[2MF]

Bios drift. ?

Bias. I think.
