News from Carmack!!!!

[Luck JF]

I dont know the multiplayer community is pretty saturated right now with more games than players.
This is what seems to be happening with the new tribes and with Doom 3 Multiplayer.
Both games have about a couple hundred players at a time tops.

Acclaim? McDonalds? Heh, I have no id--wait, wait, I got it. Tell your tech guys to start incorporating some Aureal tech already, dammit! Blargh!!!

Well he says he's working now on that transparency effect that light creates when it hits tissue. It must have some tech name but I forgot it.

OMG, it's the fabled tissue lighting! I heard nV will render up to double the tissues per clock with their next-gen GPU, whereas ATi can only do so with AA enabled!

Ah, too easy. Thanks for the heads up, and let JC know that if he ever gets tired of his Ferrari, I'll be more than happy to take it off his hands--no charge, of course.

All I can say is that the game engine is "kinda 75% doom3" with a whole lot of new things. No game will look as good when this yet untitled game comes out by possibly december 2005/jan06.
You guys wouldn't believe that how the new lighting tecs and shadow effects look!!!!!!!
John is really working hard to get that SW light transparency effect that ILM used on yoda.
I would really like to tell you guys more "but a contract is a contract"
I must remember patience is a virtue.

You talked to God? He's working for ID now that is awesome.

Yeah apparently God is designing the lighting effects for the new id game and they look unreal. There's going to be some cool angelic halos around the characters and the graphics are a far cry from what we've seen in the past. Compared to Doom3, this game should have a much longer half life too.

And I just lost my mind......

Uh Doom 3is very close to reality graphics wise. It has a few issues. Flesh as pointed out.
One thing Doom 3 has over every other game is metal. Doom 3 metal looks like real metal. Metal of every color. Doom 3 is the only game that makes metal look like metal.
That in and of itself is quite an advancement. Take what doom 3 has already going great which is multi light shadows and lighting on surfaces and add 25% more to it sounds like it'll bring us one more step close to total photo realism.

You're missing the point, everything in game looked like metal. Nothing really seemed fleshly, it looks shiny and wet...

Nah it'll just be start the game and you'll see a corridor with a bright light at the end. Then you walk towards it and the game will be over. It'll cost you $55 until a year later when it's $10.

But wait... its 75% Doom 3

Unreal Engine 3 comes out early 2006 with a bit of a delay.

Umm i think ill bet on the UE3 being a more technological and better engine dont u.

So we should expect AMAZING lighting and shadows...

Anyting else he wants to improve, like texture detail and all that stuff...

Everyone here has seen the UE3 pics and video, and honestly can anyone say an engine based on 75% of the Doom 3 engine will be able to beat that? Maybe, Maybe not, they havent showed us anything yet, but i can still see major improvements for UE3.

Also the Doom 3 game for the Xbox.... Can someone tell me how they ported and OGL engine onto a DX engine, and is this the reason why it looks ugly?

I really don't understand your mentality here. Why does the next ID game have to beat UE3? Why did you suddenly try to turn this into a competition? We are talking about the next ID game, not UE3.
Just to keep you in the loop.

Actually we're talking about total BS. The OP said he talked to God.

Maybe an addendum to the Bible will be released in a few days. :roll:

 

[theblackbox]

And being a PR I don't know much of that tech talk you guys babble about.

I known John for about 7 years.

You do PR? Hopefully not copy.

Well, i was talking to him the other day and he told me in quake he was going to make the wall textures ultra high quality with low quality monsters and effects to balance out the look of Doom3. And this time, when you walked into a hall, the lights would come on, then monsters would attack you.

Uh-uh! What if the Programmable Tissue Processor is FUBAR - will the world end up covered in "grey goo"? What if the GPU overheats? Will it lead to tissue with 3rd-degree burns? Will it need aloe-vera-tropic filtering to heal it properly? What about "colored" MIP-mapping, and issues of cheating? Shouldn't all colors of tissue be treated equally? Will the NAACP want to get involved?

You don't think that if his "real" rocket crashes and burns too many times, that he might retire from that field, and want to go for a cruise in his "road rocket" instead?

PS. If McDeath's start giving away obsolete Aureal sound cards as prizes in a Happy Meal, I'm there!

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. RTCW WAS AWESOME, ET HAS BEEN KEEPING ME BUSY AND NOW I'M READY FOR RTCW2! :beer:

DOOM3 THE GAME WASN'T THAT AMAZING. DOOM3'S ENGINE WILL ALLOW OTHERS TO MAKE AMAZING GAMES. FARCRY, IN MY MIND, IS BETTER!

And you know it's "total BS" for fact? I guess you know Theodoor and know he is lying just to be cool?

I love how everyone tries to jump on people when something sounds far fetched. We don't know. He may know John...may have known him for years. Maybe they talk and engage in stimulating conversation daily.

Don't hate because someone knows something you don't. If you don't buy it then read it laugh to yourself then switch back to the porn and continue to fondle yourself. We will all be better off for it.


Edit: For the record that isn't a personal attack at anyone (SickBeast). General statement about things that irk me on any number of message boards I post on.
