Carmack needs to be paired up with a real gameplay/product/market counterpart. His Steve Jobs so to speak. But if he is happy doing it his way then he should continue. I just hope Bethesda won't punish him for Rage's commercial disappointment.
- yannickt 15y agoHe needs Romero back. I think if these two were still working together, we would see some amazing games being made.
- palish 15y agoI'd say Carmack cares more about rockets than about games, at this point. Who wouldn't?
- yannickt 15y agoHis interviews after he received the gdc lifetime achievement award suggest otherwise.
- palish 15y agoReally? Interesting. I haven't kept up. That's... Well, that's ironic. I wonder why he decided to pursue gamedev with more passion than rocketdev?
- yannickt 15y agoHe actually said that "there is more opportunity for technical innovation [...] in gaming than practically anywhere else I can imagine". A modern game like Rage can stimulate one's intellect for a very long time. http://www.mytweetdreams.com/learning-twitter/inside-gaming-plus-john-carmack-interview-at-game-developers-choice-awards http://www.mytweetdreams.com/learning-twitter/inside-gaming-...
- cavalcade 15y agoI thought about John Romero but from i've read his (game) design sensibilities/taste wasn't quite the equivalent of Carmack's technical chops.
- jonromero 15y agoYeap, I think that the two of them were the "dream team".
