Lüt Posted January 11, 2007 Wow, they pick the worst pictures for that interview. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted January 11, 2007 Meh, I'll get excited when they start releasing info. What I like about id is their casual attitude towards information. With Valve, they burst off at the mouth and they end up being full of shit. A Wolfenstein movie would kick ass. Nazis + Supernatural = FTW. A showdown with Hitler in the bunker would totally rock. Hitler, imbued with supernatural evil, carries two MG42s, then eventually fights BJ hand-to-hand (obviously) until BJ finishes him off with a blast to the face with Hitler's own gun. 0 Share this post Link to post

leileilol Posted January 11, 2007 as much as i hate gay informer that's a great interview. Too bad the questions are about the overhyped episodic gaming, steam and DX10 but at least the boys don't make part of them. 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofhell Posted January 11, 2007 I remember Quake was supposed to be more than just another shooter. Supposedly it was supposed to have some RPG elements. Not that I'm complaining, the first Quake is my favorite one of the "series". I'm hoping id just sticks to FPS, but more attention to actual gameplay is needed sorely, since their last offering(Doom 3) dealt a huge blow to that department imo. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, but note too that Adrian Carmack and the others were prone to amending their statements with "or we could just be lying to you and none of this will appear in the game." Though they may have PLANNED it, the end results probably weren't as good as planned. 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh, when was this? Adrian was rather silent or noncommunicative, in general, in any case. 0 Share this post Link to post

Indeed it was. http://toastytech.com/dooma/miscdoom.html(scroll down a bit to the Commander Keen thingy) Not that I'm complaining, the first Quake is my favorite one of the "series". I'm hoping id just sticks to FPS, but more attention to actual gameplay is needed sorely, since their last offering(Doom 3) dealt a huge blow to that department imo. I'd personally like to see more attention to puzzles an' stuff. I mean, Doom 3 is just really the same stuff over and over until you want to cry (though not as badly as Halo did), while in the original Doom games, and Quake, each level had it's defining things. 0 Share this post Link to post

SirTimberWolf Posted January 18, 2007 So is it just me or does Carmack still look like he's maybe 35 or so? Kinnda cool, slightly creepy. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fredrik Posted January 18, 2007 Carmack was my age (21) when he started working on the Doom engine. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted January 18, 2007 I like how id went from being one of the most innovative companies in the industry back in the days of Tom Hall and John Romero to easily one of the least. They haven't come up with a single new title since Romero was fired in 1996. It's just Quake this, Wolf that, Doom there, a new Keen for GBA, and most of those games they didn't even bother to make themselves. Hell, at least Daikatana wasn't just a rehash of the same old garbage. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's good to hear, I guess. Since I practically ignore games other than DOOM nowadays I might otherwise be missing something. I think Carmack doesn't muchly care about these considerations, though, as he's mainly an engine architect (and not a designer), and whether the games that use his engines are considered the top stuff doesn't seem to bother him as long as he's working in his field of interest and expertise. I mean, he's kind of practical and self assured. So in a way I can understand him; I'm "alienated" playing DOOM, he's likewise just working on the engines (which can then be used for many purposes by others). 0 Share this post Link to post
caco_killer Posted January 18, 2007 ID is like Rare now. They had their time in the limelight, and now they're not really doing anything worthwhile. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 18, 2007 Well, they're making money for Armadillo Aerospace. That's worthwhile in my opinion. 0 Share this post Link to post
