id Software has announced that its next project for Xbox Live Arcade is called Quake Arena Arcade, based on the ever popular Quake 3 Arena FPS.
The list of astonishing oldie shooters. Let's get back to 2000s and feel the thrive of retro action once more!
There's no doubt about it; id Software has been responsible for helping shape the games industry into what it is today. Without Doom, Quake and John Carmack's coding wizardry, you can bet we'd be playing very different games today. Who knows, the Russians might've even won the Cold War?
Doom has stuck in the minds of a generation of gamers, while Enemy Territory rocks the online charts and Quake III Arena is still played after almost ten years on the shelves.
CVG sat down with id CEO Todd Hollenshead and lead level designer Matt Hooper to discuss the rise and rise of id.
Q3 forever!!! Greatest multiplayer game of all time... in my humble opinion. I wasted 6 years fraggin it up in that motherf*cker
QuakeCon's big event is Friday night – John Carmack's keynote speech. GameInformer had the opportunity to catch up with things since the CES interview and get the important details about id Tech 5. Will it work with DX10? Wii? What is Rage? What's going on with Doom 4? What the heck is Quake Zero? Carmack spills the beans on the next Quake Arena project and a whole lot more in this extensive QuakeCon interview!
It looks like Doom 4 has just been officially confirmed. Too bad it'll probably have a release date of something like 2010.
john carmack jus dont want to go bck on his words since it will make him like stupid..
Great read. Interesting tit-bits about how much difficulty they're having with the memory limitations on the PS-3 and when John Carmack says so, we must concur.
great read indeed. And yeah John Carmack says so, we must concur. Hes the man
too bad that memory problem isnt as much a problem as this idiot thinks, the ps3 isnt dependent on memory, its all about teraflops and floating point, that is why ps3 is supercomputer, and thats why its able to make realtime movies, and that theory of memory will continue to be shattered even past killzone, rsx memory doesnt equal rsxs performance, the thing was made to synthesize hollywood movie graphics, that still wont be realised for a while, this rsx even is nowhere near maxed out, this carmack wants to get pc and 180 fans excited, for nothing, but good try
Are you a good programmer? Are you a programmer at all, so you can say (stupid) things like this? You call him an idiot, and he is one of the legends in computer programming, one of the best out there since the original Doom in 1993.
"the ps3 isnt dependent on memory, its all about teraflops and floating point..." - You obviously don't have clue what you're talking about, and you call him an idiot... Really sad.
...I'll believe"
That's ridiculous. John Carmack is not infallible, that's why Unreal Engine and Crysis are dominating.
I find it funny that some Xbox fanboys are already ejaculating with thoughts of PS3 having memory limitations. You know, every console has its pros and its cons, that's something you need to fit through your thick skulls, fanboys.
Stop being so domesticable and learn to make your own opinions. One question though, are you just gonna pick tidbits of information selectively and convenietly, or are you gonna take this one bit as blindly as you took the other one?
"....we’d rather develop on the Xbox 360. The PS3 still does have in theory more power that could be extracted..." John Carmack
Yes, we'd believe a genius like John rather than take the word of someone on a forum.
I hope for Doom 4 they leave Doom 3 and go back to the roots and make it a next-gen game with story and elements like Doom 2 (My fave FPS ever!).
I respect Carmack as a developer and I am not going to jump in here saying I know more than him about how a system uses its memory and such, cause I don't, but I can't believe anything he is saying about the supposed "limitations" that he is finding on the PS3. Yes, we know it is a difficult system to develop for. Unlike the 360 which has a very PC friendly style of development, the PS3 is definitely something new and challenging.
He is saying almost the exact opposite of so many other developers though, which is what makes me questions how he is approaching the system. It is possible that being a PC developer he isn't seeing the system in the same light as everyone else, but that is just speculation on my part.
carmack does seem a little bias toward xbox360, maybe uncle bill had $ome infl$u$en$c$e(money) in there... but i want you to know carmack i love you no matter what ****
wow, possibly most awesome arcade game ever =]
Great news I used to love playing Quake 3 online.
WOO HOO! I played this game to death on the PC...and still do, occasionally.
OMG YES!!!!!!!! THIS IS A GIFT FROM GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMGz!!!
