QuakeCon 2013: Carmack On Next-Gen Console Hardware 136

Posted by Soulskill from the developers-will-make-it-succeed-or-fail dept.
jones_supa writes "QuakeCon 2013 is running full tilt. John Carmack kicked off his speech by addressing the 'elephant in the room,' discussing the arrival of a new console generation to a crowd of attendees at the largely PC-focused event. He's optimistic about the coming console cycle, commenting that it's 'obviously going to be a good thing for gamers, developers, and an excellent thing for AMD.' John said he hasn't run quite enough tests on the hardware for the two consoles, but said they're both 'very close, and very good.' In his traditional long talk (watch on YouTube), Carmack also commented on Microsoft's always-on Kinect, its recently reversed DRM policies for the upcoming Xbox One, the death of optical media, and the state of handheld gaming."

    Both the PS4 and Xbox One will have s86 architecture, and are essentially just heavily customized PC's (to the point where porting between PC and these consoles will be trivial). So is the distinction between console and PC even meaninful anymore? Aside from the control scheme and openess of software installation, there really isn't much difference.

          That leaves the audio/video and operating system stuff, which admittedly is still potentially a lot of work but the CPU itself doesn't need to be emulated at all, which saves them a ton of work relative to say what we're going to be looking at for a PS3 emulator or the N64 one

        • I think the 90% piracy rate on PCs had something to do with it (piracy on Xbox360 was around 10% for comparison).

          I know plenty of 360 owner, and only a couple have one or two legit games.
          Piracy might be that low in the US, but it's a different thing outside the US. The 360 sold a lot more than the PS3 at some point because of the cost of games and the fact that the former could be pirated.

          Then publishers put on DRM and you had the whole SecuROM fiasco that burned out optical drives.

          All the Xbox did was show that between the Xbox and PS2, consoles were getting "good enough". The PS3 and Xbox360 basically said that things were pretty much there and consoles were no longer the huge compromises they once were when compared to PCs.

          Publishers switched over because you could develop for PCs and load it up with DRM crap, or develop for consoles (which were "good enough") suffer less piracy and get more people paying for it. And people were buying consoles as well because it was more "social" and fun to play on the big screen TV than the little monitor.

          What's happened since then is the universal DRM for PC now - Steam. And the proliferation of Intel graphics cards (around the time of the Xbox, people still used external video chips) which basically meant 90% of PCs sold were doing fairly poorly in the graphics department (and NVidia and AMD/ATi saw their marketshare dwindle as people rushed for cheaper Intel graphics).

          But, the PC adapted - no longer were AAA titles going to PCs, which meant indie games rose in prominence - a good indie game (most are crap, still) now has a huge hungry base to which people would buy them and play with. And since these were low-budget productions, DRM wasn't really an issue, since piracy tended to help. And these games worked even on piss-poor Intel graphics, which meant huge market. Plus the rise of mobile gaming helped.

          Consoles this round took notice and if you're paying attention, you'll see both Sony and Microsoft are trying hard to attract indies to their consoles.

          The (few) most popuar indie games have pretty good graphics, and are pretty good AND successful. AAA games don't exist any more (on any platform), all those franchises have been brought by EA or alike and burnt to the ground (Simcity

      Carmack has always been the engine guy, not the game designer. Engine stuff in Doom3, Rage is still very, very great. I doubt Id Tech 5/6 will let us down either.

    • You're missing something in between Doom and Rage, ET: Quake Wars. Megatexture tech didn't debut with RAGE, but with Quake Wars [wikipedia.org].

      More triangles in the scene (and curves, and textures, and lens flare, and 15 different flavors of "pitch black") is more a direct credit to Nvidia/AMD than to Mr Carmack, and I don't see that anything since Quake 2 (arguably, Quake 1) is really a monumental advance forward.

      Quake 2, really? You're leaving out Quakeworld! The graphics argument isn't unique to id and isn't new. It's been going on since gaming began. Here is a vintage example for Zelda [youtube.com] hailing from the 80s, whoa, check out those graphics! Minecraft is an example where gameplay outshines graphics, and there is a demand for innovative games - not just shine. There are more tools available

    • I think a better way of looking at it is how many other people licensed the engines Carmack has created. As in, very few, because the engines weren't very useful. Meanwhile, look at where Unreal Engine and Unity3D have gone.

      To say nothing about design, the reality was that the D3 engine did some clever new stuff, but it ran horribly slow and looked just plain ugly. It's very obvious that it wasn't a very efficient engine, and thus wasn't well-suited for games. Rage was the same. Ambitious and interesti

    • Quake 3 is quite unique, and still popular.
      Quake Live is, technologically, quite innovative too (a browser plugin that internally uses XMPP for online FPS?). I'm not sure why the idea never took off.
