Id Software had been a bit quiet in recent years following the release of 2004's Doom 3, but all of that changed during QuakeCon 2008 last week. The legendary game developer shed light on some of its new projects, including its new intellectual property Rage as well as a fourth Doom installment. And of course, id's co-founder and lead programmer John Carmack was in the center of it all. Widely regarded as one of the fathers of the first person shooter, as well as one of the top minds behind game development today, Carmack constantly pushes the envelope with both the titles and technologies. Tom's Games Game reviews spoke with Carmack in Dallas at QuakeCon 2008 to get his thoughts on id's new projects as well as working with Electronic Arts , making games for consoles, and the future of game development.
John Carmack: Well, "a lot better" may be stretching it. All of the key scenes, the things anyone is going to take a screenshot of are going to look exactly the same on both platforms. They'll get the high quality compression. But if you go into some areas in the wasteland, like behind a fence where nobody will typically go and explore, this is where the 360 version may look a little blurry compared to the PS3.

Well, one can't like everything. Even so, most people seem to enjoy the game so far. Very much so.

Ok, I'll bite. How is this gonna work?
You're gonna provide a birth certificate, basically a legal document to a 17 year old part-time employee at this Komplett store? Or, does that employee have to be in the delivery room of your baby to verify?
Annoyed that you have to switch between Meta Quest, Steam and SideQuest for your VR games? Not anymore thanks to SideQuest!
Hes fine, instead of actually reading the article i am juist going to sit and look at his pick!
Yes they got owned.
Complain loud enough to have MS relax the DVD royalties for extra discs, but keep damaging comments about the 360's limitations to a minimum. He does, after all, want to sell games on the 360 as well as the PS3, and shouldn't piss in his Cheerios.
Gabe Newell should take note.
He contradicts what he says in every article I read on him. Im sick of this guy already and his game isnt even out. I was looking forward to Rage, but as much as he talks crap about the ps3, Im not gonna get this.
