I enjoyed every second of it, understood it all, and could only imagine if he had more time to talk. He could have stretched everything he talked about another couple of hours, and I would have been there to hear him talk. It would have been nice to also have the Q & A in this video, but I bet that is another hour
It should be no surprise to anyone that consoles have slowed many things down in the game industry, but it also shows what genius people can do and how they have worked around many things to overcome the problems of working in a limited environment.
I also loved how he talked about the plus's and minus's of both the PC and consoles. It was very interesting to hear about how the game data is actually handled on both platforms (knew pretty much, but not all, but hearing it come out of his mouth was just awesome). Can't wait for the day PC's don't have the overhead they do today. It was also awesome to hear the breakdowns between the 360 and PS3. Can you only imagine a gaming platform with the power of a current PC (today or later) with pretty much no overhead like a console?
RAGE is going to be an awesome experience no matter what platform you play it on, and can't wait to play it on my PS3. No gaming rig to speak of at this point in time in my life
But that time will be again soon
Whoever says PC gaming is dying/dead, needs to rethink it. While I do agree that it has slowed a bit with this current generation of consoles, I have some strange feeling in the next 5-10 years it's going to be bigger than it ever was
Don't quote me on that though
Thank you Mr. Carmack, you always keep my faith in PC gaming
