John Carmack's dev notes on Doom Classic for iPhone

• yesimahuman 17y ago
  John is awesome. After hearing Doom Classic was out on the iPhone I immediately bought it and tried throwing myself into hell to see what would happen. Immediate reaction: Doom is really hard to play on a touch screen. I really hope they make Doom 2 for either Xbox Arcade or the iPhone.

    Everything is hard to play on a touch screen. Touch screens are horrible for gaming.

      I usually agree. One game that isn't a pain to play with it: MotoX Mayhem.

      I also bought Doom Classic and found I got much better at it after just 20 minutes of playing. Still no comparison to mouse/keyboard for FPS games, but neither are console controllers...

  "I doubt one customer in ten will actually play a network game of Doom Classic, but it was interesting working on it." That may be true. On the other hand, I, for one, am going to become a customer because of the network game option.
