gern x are retarded wow who knew!

and then daikatana came out
>>
How come nobody has made a series/movie on the founding of id software and its glory days?
They are easily the most influential developers of all time
>>
>>722644517
At one time a TV adaptation of Masters of Doom was in development but it came to nothing.

It think it's even less likely to happen now, because Carmack went to that BasedCon event his friend Elon Musk took a hard turn to the right.
>>
>>722644517
influential? how?
>>
>>722645372
think anon please
>>
>>722644317
Yeah and he's an obnoxious egomaniac to boot. He killed Ion Storm with his bullshit for christ's sake.
>>
>>722645372
read Masters of Doom

>>722644317
>made games
>made slop
>completely forgotten
Meanwhile you obsess over ecelebs and suck and fuck them no matter what they do.
>>
>>722644317
His level design isn't even good
>>
>>722644317

Microsoft axed his studio that were working on some vaporware game that would have never made it over the finish line anyway. Now pump my gas and make it snappy Romero!

>invented FPS as a genre

Basically responsible for PC gaming being what it is today.

to his credit, he didn't create this ad and never signed off on it

>Gen X burnouts

>he was being annoying so his coworkers stuck his head on a pike at the end of Doom II

White people struggle to make good videogames and just want to tell stories or craft shit.

Cod 4 modern warfare was the last original western IP with decent controls.
>>
>>722644317
Is anyone not burned out? Seriously fuck this shit. Everyone I see has bags under their eyes
>>
>>722648065
"Fill it up on number 5!"
>>
>>722648169
How is that to his credit? The ad is the best thing about the game.
>>
>>722649391
>Everyone I see has bags under their eyes
me since like age 13

nigga...
>>
>>722649684
99% of western games these days are SNES/n64 games with a shity furry character.

That or another gay fps or gay movie game.
>>
>>722649361
Yeah, well, Romero is half Mexican so that's why he's so creative.
>>
>>722644382
I liked the setting and style of Daikatana but good lord the gameplay was aids.
>>
>>722649948
Its not even a creativity issue. White people treat videogames like cartoons or movies.
>>
>>722649361
thats an indian (feather), you retarded indian (dot)
>>
>>722648079
I like the old id games and have nothing against Romero except that he supports trannies lol but:

>basically invented a viable way to render 3D
nah, it would have happened regardless, which kind of 3D are you referring to here anyway? raycasted or "true" polygonal 3D?
abrash was hired away from microsoft and wrote books on highly optimized x86/PC programming before even wolf3d was released anyway
carmack got there at the right time and his supporting team were good at making games which were actually fun and broadly appealing to play sure
