I hope he starts up another new company and can get another new game engine on the market too.
He is like: "Im done with F#@#$%NG nonsense, pff Metaverse da funk I was thinking!!, Im out!! :D"
Yeah he put a smile in his face too in the end.
I hope he goes back to traditional games.
VR gaming is a flop and the Metaverse has (fortunately) completely failed to take off.
One of if not, the best game engine developer in the world. I hope he gets back into developing game engines.
They need to stick VR back in RnD departments everywhere that or let the porn industry lead the way like everything else that's been introduced then brought to mass market after porn made it a thing lmfao
Today, some new in-game footage from the prototype versions of the cancelled COD-like Doom 4 surfaced online.
What's cool is you can see some of the animations they kept and revised for 2016.
For me its always interesting to see some prototype of a game of something else and see the final product on why they go another direction in the end
I don't see what is "COD-like" here? Just because there's 2 seconds footage with ironsight?
Legendary developer John Carmack reacted to the acquisition of Bethesda and ID Software's parent company ZeniMax Media by Microsoft:
"Great! I think Microsoft has been a good parent company for gaming IPs, and they don’t have a grudge against me, so maybe I will be able to re engage with some of my old titles."
This is so annoying that this much welcomed news comes AFTER Facebook deleted their VR for everyone not gullible enough to give away their whole privacy for pennies.
I would be so happy if this news happened a few months ago. Now I couldn't care less.
Please not another Doom game. I have good memories of my early adulthood tied up in Doom on the old 486 PCs and you keep ruining it by bringing out Doom shovel ware now. Please stop.
Doom 4 is probably along the lines of Duke Nukem and Half Life 3, amongst a few other games. Sadly, development hell is rarely good for the game.
Please make DOOM 4 like DOOM 1&2. I want it to be the fast paced action like the old ones not like DOOM 3 being a slow survival horror type game
Id soft should innovate more, and come up with a different game. why is it always doom and wolfenstein. the last game rage didn't do much for me. pure fps no longer gives me pleasure. maybe it's me.
