Let's face the facts , Of all the games this guy ahs under his name and belt, the vast majority of them are from 20 years ago, and let's not even go near Daiktana. I seriously doubt this guy has any ideas that are relevant or would be unique to gaming today.
I'm so sick of hearing about all the big name game designers that are riding on past history of sucess that is decades old. IF they were really relevant, they'd have more reccent sucessful titles instead of failures or unmentioned games. Hell carmack is also still riding on the doom series his failure to empress with Rage is a testement to that. Game design is by its very nature a TEAM endevor, I'm sick of these show pony designers slapping their names on a game that has outdated ideals and getting lauded for it , when they didn't even do most the work. It's time for individual recognition to die . because 1. It's unprofessional, 2. no one person can produce a triple A game by them selves these days. and 3. it's insulting to the other 50 or so artist,animators and coders that busted their humps working on a game.
