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.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
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.
