Why haven't they made a movie about the making of doom yet? I'm thinking a Wolf of Wall Street type movie showing what a crazy time they had making the first game.

we don't need a movie, there's already an amazing book called Masters of Doom. You should check it out

I consider John Carmack to be one of the biggest geniuses in the industry.
Everyone else? More of a group of friends with their own decent set of skills.
>>339893607
Carmack's a good programmer, but that's as far as it goes.
>>339893309
That's exactly what I'm thinking of! Remember when oen of them got locked in the office so John Carmack bought out a battle axe he bought off the internet to break it down? Hilarious.
They already have the social network, silicon valley and the Steve jobs movies so clearly there is a market for movies about 90's tech. Plus, it's about something fun instead of egotistical faggots like Jobs and Zuckerburg.

>>339893449
>>339893562
Cause he was the best game coder at the time, and he probably knew it. The raycasting they did with wolfenstein 3d (and later with doom) was a huge breakthrough.
>>339893698
So? That's why they have other talented guys on the team to create good art / ideas around the game.. it's a team work
>>339893449
Everything works that way anon.
But Carmack was actually smart though

>>339895094
It reinforces the notion that indie =/= bad. Just because a small team doesn't have the support a giant corporation doesn't mean their games are bad, rather, Indies tend to put more heart and passion into their games just like the devs of old. Just like the ones in that image.

Ha. Early id ripped off a few of their employers. Once they convinced their boss to give them their own department with all new computers. Then took all the equipment home to develop a game off the books so they could leave the company and use the software to form their own company. That's pretty scummy.

Carmack is a wizard but Abrash brought in a lot of advanced programming know-how that helped actually get id's later games like Quake out the door, and there was always tension between Carmack basically wanting every game to be a tech demo and the rest of the team actually wanting to try different ideas (a big part of why Hall and later Romero left)
Looking at id's portfolio now, it's pretty obvious which side got their way in the end
Who are these fuckin' nerds. I wanna bash their stupid nerd faces in.
>>339897626
>The fuck does that have to do with anything?
He's saying the picture represents a different era where the people designing the video games often had to be skilled in other areas as well. Math, engineering, programming, basically everything I'm terrible at
it's not entirely relevant, but it's worth thinking about

Uh, no. It was a product of John Carmack working some code magic and everyone around him being a talented designer/coder.

Superiority over their nerd asses.

It was also Carmack turning into a control freak, Tom Hall getting sacked and, well, I'll assume we all read Masters of Doom. But seriously, Carmack is a genius but also a sperglord asshole.

>there was always tension between Carmack basically wanting every game to be a tech demo and the rest of the team actually wanting to try different ideas (a big part of why Hall and later Romero left)
Where are you getting that from? Masters of Doom paints a completely different picture. The artists were constantly complaining that they weren't making things look as good as they could because Carmack constantly insisted on high framerate targets (there's even the now famous quote of "here at id, we sacrifice much to the speed gods")
Even Doom 3 was a 60FPS target on PC, and incredibly well optimized. Carmack also pushed for RAGE to target 60 on last-gen consoles even though the game would take a huge hit visually. I have no idea where you are getting what you said in your post from

>>339903169
The one with the grand, undoable "tech demo" visions was Romero, not Carmack. After Quake had to be downscaled from its original lofty design doc (at Carmack's behest), why do you think Romero fucked off to make a company whose motto was "design is law"? As id moved into true 3D and his abilities to contribute to the tech at hand diminished, he rapidly became a bigger and bigger idea guy, full of promises and not much understanding of how they should or could be done
Carmack has always thought games should be no-nonsense, you boot it up and just get to the action as quick as possible (hence the "story in games is like story in porn quote). And that they should run as fast as they can - I remember many Quakecon keynotes in which he's said things along the lines of "30FPS isn't really ideal for fast-paced 3D games"
