> Diakatakana> Gunman Taco Truck> Empire of Sin> SIGIL
>>12838235Now that the dust has settled, did John Romero ever actually make anyone his bitch?
>>12838247Mayor McCheese by the looks of it
>>12838247He’s married a girl about 20 years younger than him.
>>12838235I really liked SIGIL.
>>12838274Are you high? His wife is older than him, also he had to adopt her son.
Sigil runs on psp with doom source port, so its okay in my book
>>12838235memes aside, Sigil is unironically the best Doom 1 content, which is pretty impressive considering how much doom modding content there is
>>12838247Yo mom lololol
>>12838235>Stevie Case got passed back and forth. Cliffy B fucked her too.>Stevie is now fat
>>12838247Not really but he is a pretty good designer especially when it comes to Doom themed content.He has created many excellent maps for both Doom/II. Sigil would be awesome if he didn't overuse the "proceed switch" mechanic and the package design had not been done by WiccaWannabe Industries.Alfonso fell prey to his own success.
>>12838328he bought a gipsy child bride at one point
>>12838235Daikatana is pretty great on the n64.The controls are fucking terrible, but you do git gud with them after a few hours. And when you do the game pops off since it isn't held back by the dumbass companion bullshit the pc has. It was so close to being a masterpiece of a game. He dropped the ball hard.
>>12838580That's not a gypsy.He looks more like one.
>>12838669Romero comes from Yaqui and Navajo heritage, Dave. Wise the fuck up, Dave.
>>12838247He mindbroke Carmack.
he's a great guy i don't know if all the attention on x is getting to his head but he used to be really approachable and really good at fpsbasically going down in the history books forever and has no true ego about itthe whole making you his bitch making thing was like his PR staff or something trying to make shitty adspeople don't know what he really did for doom - carmack did the engine and graphics programming, romero did all the gameplay programming and the other mappers mostly just did geometry and he did all the monster and item layouts we love today
>>12838623>since it isn't held back by the dumbass companion bullshit the pc has.isn't there a patch that does that on PC?
>>12838674His dad was an abusive wetback.
Sigil sucks imagine making Doom 1 levels in any year that isn't 1994
>>12838235>IESLB
>>12838235Time to eat wasabi again, my bichu.
>>12838580Cute
>>12838235>SHITGILFaggot sellout trying to make paid mods a thing
>>12838694carmack is soulless machine that's now directly responsible for ai bubble, romero is one of us, just a gamer dude bro
>>12838757it was free though
>>12838725Tbh I have a slight preference Doom 1 WADs.With 2 there’s always a risk of abusing Arch-viles and Pain Elementals, thereby making a map borderline unplayable. They are absolute bullshit enemies.
>>12838235He is a GOD of Doom!
>>12838369After I posted that question I immedietly knew I fucked up.
>>12838775>directly responsible for ai bubbleWhat a load of horse shit. He may have sold his soul to Meta, but he left before the AI shenanagins.
>>12838235>makes the tutorial levels which are good only for your first playthrough, are just a slog on repeat playthroughs>when he's allowed to go wild with the difficulty (episode 4, Sigil) it's just gimmick shit instead of a fun or well designed challengeanyone else who thinks he's kinda overrated as a game designer?
>>12838247Well, he's on his fifth marriage.
>>12838580Looks like female Carmack
>>12839018He's running an AI company called Keen Technologies, funded by a Chinese and Israelli investment firm called Sequoia.
>>12839185I stand corrected. Accept my apologies, anon. Here I thought he left Meta because the direction things were going but turns out he was a faggot all along.
>>12838824skill issue
>>12839195He left Meta because they ran out of pet cats for him to murder, Carmack is primarily motivated by murdering animals and the sweet thrill of death was never captured by VR technology, they could never get the haptics right.
>>12838736The gameboy color daikatana game is pretty good!
>>12839185Those are some cool ass portraits.
>>12839267The devs wanted to make it a side scrolling shooter but Romero came in and said do a Zelda. That's why it's so good. He had his moments.
>>12838775>ai bubble
>>12839114Good eye.
>>12839185has he been doing anything relevant to the field or is this like his rocket company? (pretty fucking cool, would if I could, but ultimately just a rich man's hobby)
>>12839185That's heart-crushing to learn.
>>12839114God dammit anon, you made me fucking laugh out loud
>>12839415Dem teenagers returning to the real world because the internet isn't as exciting as they expected.
>>12838235Nobody ever talks about Hyperspace Delivery Boy!Is it really that bad?
>>12839563It looks like a free shockwave game you play on browser, but was sold for money
>>12838247
>>12839415Yes, internet was a bubble. Haven't you noticed the number of IT layoffs all around the world recently? The bubble of free internet has popped. Tech bros are now making money off surveillance, astroturfing, and data theft instead.
>>12840082kek
>>12838674Now I see it. That's kinda cool. I wonder if he can shoot a bow.
>>12839185It's only natural that he'd be working on something big-brainy and new. I won't hold that against him.
>>12841926And i would. You know what happened to inventor of brazen bull? Carmack does similar thing, its not big brainy at all
>>12842362Oh fucking hell. Yes, AI is exactly like the "Brazen Bull." You anti-AI types are so dramatic.
>>12839415Are you too young to remember the dot com bubble? AI isn't going away, but the assumption of infinite growth in the technology itself and its application in the real world will.
>>12842548I don't think so, the only thing that will happen is competition will consolidate and monopolise
>>12842372i am not anti ai though, i jerk off to tomb raider lara croft sex bot all the time
>>12838235A lot of this older fps guys were not as talented for game design frankly. Even Romero who yesbit a genius, hasn't actually made another good game in like 3 decades. Romero keeps putting out map packs for his older stuff, and now people remember him for Daikatana, which barely anyone has played and most treat it like a joke.
>>12838235He's definitely more relevant now than in the early or mid 2000s
>>12844307Only because enough time has passed that gen-xers and millennials (and even zoomers) are nostalgic for the 90sIn reality, Romero was an immensely talented and influential game designer who flamed out 30-ish years ago and has been riding on the adoration of his fans ever since. To be fair, the same applies to Carmack and his long-bygone status as a programming genius.
>>12838247I had a nightmare once about the Cyberdemon that put me off completing Doom.
I actually kind of liked Daikatana but I'm biased I guess by being able to play the version that has been fan patched all to hell after like decades of development.
>>12838247He made Stevie Case his bitch, after she made him his
>>12845005I've always wanted to try to play the deathmatch mode, some people swear up and down it's pretty good.
>>12845083Yeah it is actually. Even during the original release when the campaign was fucking unplayable people who actually stuck around were all playing MP deathmatch from what I have read on the subject.
>>12843538Romero is a really talented game designer, but only for simple genres like classic FPS or casual roguelike shooter like Taco Truck. Once he moves outside his comfort zone and gets too ambitious, he's fumbling. Not so different from modern devs really, too many games have gotten crushed by their own ambition.
>>12838328He also had two kids from his first marriage >>12838674His dad was a Mexican
>>12838328adopting someone's son is fate of most people of /vr/ who are 30 something and not married yet
>Two more weeks till the AI bubble pops and all my shartist friends on bluesky will be vindicated!
>>12838235>I am still rrelevant
>>12845062>>12838550Never trust gamer grlz
I got the sigil 1 and 2 big boxes
>>12847621he made you his bitch
>>12847193He had kids from his second marriage iirc. Left a trail of children and angry spouses
>>12844326Carmack is part of the reason VR took off as much as it has. A lot of the latency issues were whittled down due to his contributions, since before he was even being paid to work on it.I wouldn't say he flamed out, but projects these days require more than one crackerjack programmer anyway.Romero kinda did flame out in the ion storm days. Partying. Drinking heavily. Burning bridges. Hedonism I say, hedonism!But he's the reason Deus Ex got made. So that's cool.>>12839473His rocket company was vying for contracts above it's punching weight. The tech behind it all was sound, and him and the nerds at SpaceX used to trade ideas. It just didn't have the investment behind it to compete. I wouldn't say his work in rocketry was irrelevant, but it didn't go the distance.>>12842362>You know what happened to inventor of brazen bull?nothing? because he's not real?
>>12847459Scaling routine merchant please
>>12849027creator of brazen bull was tested on his own invention and killed. carmack supporting ai will literally put him out of job, he creating a monster so his name will be KARMAck in the end
>>12838247It's psychotic that Daikatana nearly ruined this guy and Cyberpunk 2077 didn't even dent CDPR's reputation because they released an anime.
>>12838247I guess Sandy, while hoping he was doing well.
>>12839114Kek, horrors beyond comprehension unfolded in the bed room.On a more serious note... this picture takes me back... was this the woman he had after the blonde "deathmatch" girl?
>>12852189CP2077 proves that gamers have short memories and will put up with anything. They purposefully embargoed reviews when they shipped copies they knew were broken and then they blamed consumers years later. Fuck CDPR.
>>12839027I kinda agree but there's still some substance to his (former) designs. I think he lost his edge when he became big... happens all too often.
>>12849471Just because your bluesky shartist allies lost their “job” doing furry porn commissions, doesn’t meant CHADmack is in trouble>he creating a monstergood morning saar!
>>12839185He's a turbo nerd... what else to expect. He had his moments has moved to a hobby way less exciting than the old ones.
>>12852192Peterson was an easy target...
>>12852431Hi, anon, I hope you're doing well but you're wrong.
>>12849471>creator of brazen bull was tested on his own invention and killed.Please elaborate. This sounds interesting.
>>12852421Remember when starfield came out and all the fan boys were defending that trash to the death?
>>12852452Yeah and not even modders could save that shit
>>12852457A sad state of affairs indeed lol. I know this isn't /vr/ discussion but I really like the concept of an open world space game with upgradeable ships and ground exploration but it seems like no one can do it. I had an idea that's basically the same thing but the graphics would look like dragon warrior IV. Now that would be something. GOREstar. You heard it here first.
>>12852469>I really like the concept of an open world space game with upgradeable ships and ground exploration Just give Chris Roberts another billion dollars and fifteen years and Star Citizen will almost be able to deliver that experience
>>12852470Hahaha I was also thinking of that game too.
