TheChaoscard mowi:

Mar 25, 2012 - @GIMPMan1972 plus the philosophy of Carmack that a team should be small to craft a masterpiece, and he did that by taking the time to craft their latest id tech 5

Mar 29, 2012 - Megatextures in Rage were a complete joke because he decided to design them on fucking 7 year old hardware

Ultizer mowi:

Mar 29, 2012 - it actaully sold better on PC it was a massive failure on consoles

GIMPMan1972 mowi:

Mar 29, 2012 - Wrong, it was the other way around. Rage only sold 250,000 on the PC, Xbox360 sold 1.3 million. Problem is that Steam sales are not counted. There are over 5 million Steam users.

Apr 8, 2012 - It must sound amazing to a non-developer and/or non-programmer, the things he talks about. I wonder if he realizes it's mostly fans there :) Anyway this is ten times more fun to listen to for me, because some of what he says surprises me, I just haven't done things the way he describes. John is one hell of a programming/tech visionary :)

Apr 13, 2012 - This video really drives home the sobering fact that I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how videogames are built. I'm really glad there are people like John Carmack out there to do all that complicated stuff for me and i'm more than happy that we fill his pockets with enough money to buy twin turbo Ferrari F50's and rocket ships.

Apr 17, 2012 - i like how john can keep talking about games for hours without any break. :D

Apr 17, 2012 - John might look a bit like a scrawny nerd, but if you read Masters Of Doom, you'd know that besides being brilliant, he's also a fucking badass.

HypnoticSuggestion mowi:

Apr 19, 2012 - What is Masters of Doom? I'm very curious. I love id games and I've taken an interest in Carmack lately.

HypnoticSuggestion mowi:

Apr 19, 2012 - It still only has 256MB of Vram, there's only so much you can do with that.

0neDoomedSpaceMarine mowi:

Apr 19, 2012 - It's a book written about id Software, it goes from the beginning, from where they got together, to about 2003-2004, when the book published. They have a very interesting history. It should still be in print, I bought it off Amazon half a year ago.

Apr 25, 2012 - a) You are not THE developer, you are A developer. I am as well. b) I couldn't care less that you are a developer. Games were not build for developers, they were build for everyone who would play them. Which leads me to c. c) Don't tell someone to be quiet. His opinion is just as valid as yours. You made some good points. He did to. Have some respect.

LeGaben mowi:

May 6, 2012 - none of the engines that are really used right now do anything special, not crysis, not unreal and every games look like they were made in 2007 so whats the point anyway.

andybrown2310 mowi:

May 10, 2012 - never fails to amaze me, the amount of thought process that must be involved to BUILD A GAME ENGINE, anyone bitching and moaning about shit that Carmack isn't even talking about here. Clearly doesn't understand how games work at all or indeed have any REAL APPRECIATION of the hobby... Come back to me when you figure out that building a game engine and building a game are 2 TOTALLY SEPARATE things. Learn what coding is. fuckin...14yr olds cant listen or read properly anyway....

jonskunator mowi:

May 12, 2012 - Fascinating talk. It's nice to also see the glow of positivity and enjoyment of doing things that Carmack has.
