This is why I like Carmack, I think anyone would think the same?
[quote]He loves PC, apparently, calling it “crazy” how much power they have to work with on the platform, and said the firm put 192GB of RAM into a test server, to, well test it obviously.[/quote]
Woah

It'll take awhile, RAM isn't advancing according to Moore's law because we don't have a true need for much more in desktop PCs at the moment.

Haha, 192GB? I would love to run GTA IV in pure memory with that.
Carmack is indeed still a leader in innovation. He still brings great ideas like Megatexture to attention.

Hard drives are still a very slow storage medium, but IBM are working on new tech that stores data with electrons. The read/write speeds are literally 100 times faster. The only issues are manufacturing costs and electrons that begin wandering after a few years, both of which they are confident that they can solve and are getting better at.
Such an awesome trailer
That was probably one of the greatest trailers I've ever seen.

So much originality that it practically blew the skin right off my face.[/quote]
YouTube comments are the best sometimes

I love how he starts explaining how you make the game look bad, at around 8:30 :v:
What was that scream at 2:31 Sounds like a fast zombie :v: In other note dear god I've been waiting so long for this game and I can't wait anymore.

What did I miss?
2:31 also reminds me of Just Cause 2 when you grapple someone to a propane tank and launch him into the air.
It's the gut wrenching scream, also known as the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howie_scream]Howie Scream.[/url]
I love how Carmack still looks like the skinny little nerd he was 20 years ago.
It still just looks like borderlands to me.
Okay, Carmack gained back some respect with the keynote. I'm still pissed about calling his game a revolution when it looks like the baby of Fallout and Borderlands.

Look harder.

And start hearing
"war, war never changes"
There was some pretty uninspired crap in that trailer, I hope it's still able to redeem itself.
I don't think there's a single large game company around that has a talented concept artist anymore or something.

There are a few, but for the most part larger companies try to "redefine" already use ideas.
before i watched it i was like "this is gonna be some nerdy ass shit!"
i watch it and i was like yep he's going into C/C++ and stuff about filtering and graphics cards
still a genius though
