Legendary coder John Carmack walks us through 80 gigs of textures in his newest creation, Tech 5, the engine that powers Rage.
Filing a false DMCA claim costs nothing, requires no proof, and can destroy an indie game's launch in minutes. Fighting back can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take weeks (if you can afford it at all).
Copyright is copyright. DMCA is a good thing that protects creators IP., revenue and usage. and you can absolutely appeal a wrongful DMCA takedown. It’s happened to me. Was easily resolved.
it's a good thing, but it's also long been reported, across a variety of industries and websites, that currently the system is ripe for and full of abuses. From fair use strikes, to matters like the one reported in this article. It's clear the law needs some tooth to punish bad actors and that parameters need to be set in how reports are filed; ie human review of said content and not some AI bot false flagging stuff. As is the system is far to easily abused by those who have motive to suppress and flag content they have no business or right to.
Until there's genuine consequences for this type of abuse, it'll keep happening across all media. DMCA is in principle a good thing, but it needs an overhaul.

Wow, the global gaming market keeps exploding! $188.9 billion in 2025 is huge, and it’s interesting that North America and Europe make up nearly half of the spending despite only 20% of players.

Platforms like https://nowplix.com/platfor... are also riding this growth by tracking trends and payments across regions — a smart way to see where the action is.
these guys know their $hit...80gigs of texture dam
wow I am now impressed totally, more than the trailer could ever impress me. Carmack is great at explaining stuff, should be a university professor. And I hope there is 3rd part of these videos where he demonstrates the engine.
[edit] come on guys approve this. its newsworthy.
no wonder the 360 version is goin to be 2 disk or even more..lol..glad i got the ps3..
Its good to see more than just the unreal engine getting tossed around this gen. I hope to see this engine used more often, it looks amazing. John Carmack definitely knows what hes talking about and if he can get a game running like that on a ps3, people are definitely going to be paying attention.
The engine looks gorgeous but like he said, the PS3 version is lagging more than the 360. I hope everything works out at the end and nothing is sacrificed from the PS3 version.
