Orogun01 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 John Carmack leaves ID. This was only a matter of time. I don't know if I'm glad or sad by all the game legends leaving their companies. id hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire the past decade or so, it was time for Carmack to move on. They can make mediocre shooters just fine without him. Oculus Rift is a far more exciting project than anything id has done since Quake 3, maybe longer. His talents are better served working on that. Yes but I man's company is the reflection of his hard work, what does it say about this industry that men are willing to walk away from what they spend years trying to build? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Perhaps. But it was Piranha Bytes who made Risen 2, not CD Projekt (they made the Witcher). Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Raven's Cry wound up being great. For one thing, I'm definitely down with pirate themed games and movies, even if the genre has gotten saturated as of late. For another, Reality Pump is a company from the motherland, so by blood I am compelled to like them. It's just that they haven't made a halfway decent game as of yet, in my opinion.

That he wants to move on and try something else? Here is the thing, if he wants to try something else within the field of gaming then why not use his company. Has gaming gotten so corporate that a man doesn't own his own company anymore? I still remember when Id was a small studio and I loved the everliving **** out of Doom. I guess I just had different expectations for this industry while I was growing up and it is a bit sad to see the way the wind is blowing. If he on the other hand is dropping out to focus on the craft of origami then I totally support his choice, even if I don't like origami.

Keyrock Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It kind of makes sense from both sides. id is a software developer, and one highly focused (on FPS games), they don't make hardware. Also, ZeniMax may be quite wary of investing considerable time and money into developing a hardware peripheral, because, you know, that worked out so well for THQ. Carmack maybe wants to do something else than developing FPS games and game engines since he's been doing that for over 20 years and when you do something for that long, you can fall into a rut and stagnate on the creativity front (the last couple id titles seem to support this theory).

BruceVC Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Pirate RPG Raven's Cry set for release on May 7 From the developers of Two Worlds with some delightfully bumbled buzzwords. I thought both Two Worlds were enjoyable. I know they had there obvious flaws but the good outweighed the bad IMO. I particularly liked the way you could create your own potions and spells So I'll definitely give this game a try Edited November 25, 2013 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I'm definitely a fan of Atlus, due in no small part to my hard on for MegaTen games. The fact that they have an awesome mascot And that they like to troll their customers makes me like them even more. That dungeon crawler for 3DS will likely be pretty boss too. Hopefully they make another Devil Survivor game in the near future. That's my favorite MegaTen spinoff.

Like most of their DLCs the value for the (full) price is questionable at best, on account of its (lack of) length, but it definitely brought plenty of LULZ. I like LULZ. This next DLC looks like it will be worth it for the sweater alone: That sweater it pretty dang fabulous. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
