What went wrong?
John Romero left
>>337156692
Incessant focus on game engines that no one was going to use rather than actual gameplay.
RAGE being stuck in dev hell and being beaten to the punch by Borderlands(no joke, Borderlands inspiration came from RAGE)
Carmack having no idea on how to run a GAME development studio.
>>337156692
>>337156882
John Romero and Tom Hall left
>>337156882
I think you mean John Carmack
Most of the old team have left
>>337156692
Bethesda.
>>337156882
id made great games even after Romero left, so no.
>>337156692
it's not 1994 anymore, that's what.

Zenimax is guilty of a lot of things but like EA to Bioware, their only sin was giving them enough rope to hang themselves with.
>>337156882
>John Romero
Ayy lmao
>>337157053
id went to shit far before Carmack left. Carmack worked on RAGE and it was shit. Carmack doesn't know anything about making good gameplay anyway, he just is an engineer autist, he wanted to remove strafe jumping from quake 3 for fucks sake.

RAGE is great tho. And distant landscapes are amazing. I'm serious, it looks great anyway further than 'close'. Gunplay is great too.
I hated that game. Then I played it.
all the good people left.

>RAGE is great tho
I wish i could hatefuck you to death.
Gunplay is corridor shooting at the worst of times and only sometimes decides to go outside.
>Further than close
Almost every engagement in the game is in close quarters. 70% of the game time, you're looking at textures with the quality of Rikishis ass.
They were always hacks

he didn't say Rage wasn't decent in the end, but it was overshadowed by Borderlands and wouldn't run on a lot of computers without graphical glitches. so it failed at the time.

>I wish i could hatefuck you to death.
Maybe cause you are hateful 16yo sperglord virgin.
RAGE is great as a RAGE game. Not 2nd coming of Christ. Don't look at it as Doom style game and you might find a joy (remember that? Before you stopped playing games and started browsing /v/ and jacking off to German made futa?).
Also coop is great fun. DLC is terribly short tho. I'd love to see R2.
Instead of repeating what worked in the past they tried to copy another companys successful model.
>>337157217
They made quake sequels and Doom 3, am I missing something?
>>337157698
It's sad that most of these are correct
>>337158058
fuck off french cuck
>>337156692
Everyone left.
>>337157090
>Most
If we're talking about the Ideas from the Deep guys, then they're all gone now.
>>337157237
>That feel when you'll never be a freelance software or video game developer in the 80s.
>>337158549
I love how you say that but alot were false, like the obvious "regen health"
Maybe the OG Doom 4 before they scrapped it
They kept making shooters.
I know that id Software can make one hell of an RPG. For real, if Bethesda made shooters and id Software RPGs, they would be fantastic games.
