John Carmack talks consoles again

I'm not going to add a biased spin to what he is saying; watch it yourself and get your own impression.

I tuned him out a long time ago.

Well I view it this way.

The drama caused by putting console users up against each other is creating a lot of discussions around Rage; which gives the game a lot of coverage.

carmack is digging his own grave, he hasnt made a great game in years and his last one, quake wars was crapbigLLL

Carmack had nothing to do with Quake Wars.

The last game he worked on was Doom 3, which got great reviews and was id's most successful title in its history.

Interesting interview. I respect him alot, as a developer. I think he knows exactly what he's talking about. I'm no developer, but seeing his work, his experience over the years, at least he's more credible than any other PR spin.

im pretty sure he did with the pc version... and doom 3 was a failure in a lot of peoples eyes. so typical of a pc fanboy to come running to his defense, and honestly do you think sony or microsoft are going to be happy about him talking so much crap about there consoles, hes basically calling out microsoft on something that is probably ment to be private, as if microsoft is going to be happy about that at all.[QUOTE="dgsag"]

Doom 3 was a failure because it failed to caputure Doom2 fun levels and overall great gameplay...Doom3 was not a failure...a failure would be lair, Haze, those would be failures, an 8.0 on GS is not a failure....in my eyes doom 3 did fail because doom 2 was so great..BUT the overall game was fine..

Carmack can say whatever he wants...hes speaking the truth..the PS3 is harder to devlop on..the 360 is eaiser but Blu ray is a superior format..360 version of rage will look uglier due to compression and the PS3 will look better but again it harder to devlop on...

everything he said has a good and a negative i just showed above..its stupid fanboys that spin it into somthing that is completly out of context...im tired of idiots saying "OMGZ carmacks is teh biazed!!! teh 360 superioursz!!!" hes not saying that at all..its complete BS from this forum..

He makes alot of valid points. But here they are summed up...

"Both systems are powerful enough to handle our extremely intensifying games but each have a major weakness. The Xbox 360 is much easy to develop for but has Microsoft dictating HDD use and space issues are becoming a problem. The Playstation 3 is hard to develop for but Blu-Ray is teh awesome!"

Summed up...

I think I speak for all of us when I say "SHUT THE **** UP CARMACK!!!!" Jesus, does he got a pay rise everytime he does an interview or something?! He's done about 10 interviews saying something about some console in like the past 4 days.bobbetybob
