You know, I am thinking their response will be "Fine, the PC people want to bitch, we ust won't make games on that platform anymore. We have a set console platform, and have less QA on those platforms."
Considering the quality of the games they've put out in the last ten years (and they barely qualify for plural on "games"), I can't say that the PC people will miss them much.
I know I certainly won't. |

With a properly working algorithm and powerful user overrides, most of the technical issues raised in these RAGE threads will go away.
But the anger at Carmack's flippant, unprofessional attitude towards a core market will remain. |

From a developer's perspective, let me tell you why megatextures are the future.
Megatextures are basically a plug-and-play path for developers to disconnect their workflow pipeline from that of the graphics designers, and at the same time completely do away with the need to optimize for a myriad devices that could conceivably be dramatically different in terms of processing power (e.g. iPhone 3GS vs. iPhone 4S running iOS 5).
So while the first attempt looks like it's quite buggy, I don't see developers dropping that concept any time soon. In fact they're going to all embrace it pretty quickly.
The one thing I want to see ASAP is the ability for the end user to control the algorithmic rules. With a properly working algorithm and powerful user overrides, most of the technical issues raised in these RAGE threads will go away.
Of course I'm not talking about gameplay/story, etc... That is another story, so to speak. |

Well, if John Carmack doesn't see the PC as the leading platform for games, PC owners won't see id games as the appropriate choice for them 
Not that those games are very interesting anyway, one or two of that style were enough, now it's getting embarrassing. Yes, after all they might be just good for consoles. |

If with innovate you mean downgrading the graphics on a PC back to 1997 while required 3gb of Vram and 22gb of HD space to do it.. then yeah
He hasn't innovated or influenced anything the past 5 years - in fact other game developers truly innovated like Frostbite 2 or the CryEngine 3 for example. He simply invented a way to waste texture memory with 0 gains in gameplay while making everything a blurry mess upclose.
Carmack made a console game, and with that he is no longer influencing pc gaming, in fact the only thing hes good for now is a bad example on how not to do it. |

RAGE sucks and no amount of driver issues is going to fix the fundamental GAME DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GRAPHICS.
If RAGE is any indication, John Carmack and id can just go over exclusively to the console market and PC gamers will not be worse off. Let's just face reality: After years of development id's newest game is so full of terrible design decisions that graphics issues are just the icing on the shit cake.
But I have to give props to Carmack for being so honest about id's failure so soon after the game is released, of course he can only talk about the graphical failures not the game design failures, they are not his fault.
This.
And the random "*shrug* I'm enjoying RAGE and everything runs fine" people should catch on fire. |

All i can say is "Blame your self" for what we as a pc gamer are getting
Stop saying yes to every piece of shit they release(incl that DLC crap)
and stop falling for that "pc only" crap , why even go buy the newest hardware if all they can come up with is a Console port ITS VERY easy
just say NO , but i guess peps are falling for all that Jazz everytime and have to defend that they just flushed 40-50 60 $ down the drain for
a console port  's |

It's a "What have you done for me lately?" kind of thing. No one disputes that his past accomplishments helped pioneer gaming as we know it, but in light of his attitude displayed here it seems obvious that he is no longer relevant to PC gaming's future. And his flippant attitude towards creating a decent working product simply because the market for it is smaller smacks of unprofessionalism and arrogance. So yeah, "a quack" sounds about right.
His attitude towards the PC platform is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course your market will be smaller on the platform for which you make inferior, barely-working products. |

So I with the likes of Doom 4 will be just another console rip, so that will be pirated to hell cos no fucker is gonna buy it on the pc not after this palaver.
Always find it funny to read a game isn't worth buying, which implies it has no value, and yet is worth pirating, which implies it does have value.
If I feel a game isn't worth buying, and it has no value to me, I ignore it.
PS:
Not saying you endorse piracy, or are saying you plan to pirate the game, btw. I'm just commenting on the statement in general, since I see variations of it all the time.  |

"You can choose to design a game around the specs of a high-end PC and make console versions that fail to hit the design point, or design around the specs of the consoles and have a high-end PC provide incremental quality improvements," John Carmack tells them. "We chose the latter."
BAD choice, John.
"We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games," Carmack added. "That statement will enrage some people, but it is hard to characterize it otherwise; both console versions will have larger audiences than the PC version.
Because, in RAGE's case, it's a CONSOLE game, John. Things would be different had you made a PC game - well-made PC games tend to sell much better on PC. Certainly a well-made id game would.

I feel ya, dude. I'm stunned by his comments, more specifically his flippant attitude towards the market that made "John Carmack" a household name, but at least he's honest about things. I don't have to wonder if he or id are relevant to PC games anymore.
Of course, the asshole could have pointed this out BEFORE he got a whole bunch of people buy a train wreck that received 1/10th of the development resources of its console counterpart on PC.

No, that's not what he's saying at all, try reading the article again.
I did. He specifically said they didn't put the same amount of resources into the PC version. And then he specifically said that a game built with a tenth of the resources is inferior. If he didn't mean to imply that they spent a tenth of the resources on the PC version, he shouldn't have brought it up. Because there's no other reason to use that stupid "tenth the resources" line.
Or, to put it differently, if you spend the same amount of resources on all platforms, and one platform is 10 times as powerful, the one that is 10 times as powerful should be the best platform. |
