John
Carmack Interview Part I and
Part
II on GameTrailers.com offers a sit down with the id Software technical
director at QuakeCon to discuss games, their upcoming
RAGE in particular.
Topics include progress on engine development, healthy competition in the game
market, the new generation of alternate input devices,
QUAKE LIVE, how he
expects to still be working on games a decade from now, and more. He offers an
interesting comment on PC gaming: "the tough thing about the PC market is that
the market's smaller than the console market, but the standards are still very
high," though he corrects himself to point out this doesn't necessarily apply to
more casual PC games.
