Carmack Interview on VE -- 8:38 am CST, Update by The Master
Voodoo Extreme has an interview with John Carmack online, discussing the new DOOM engine, his programming methods, and views on future technology. It's not very detailed, but good stuff is there. One thing really leaped out at me though:I am hoping that the absolute top-of-the-line system available when the game ships will be capable of running it with all features enabled and anti-aliasing on at 60hz, but even the fastest cards of today are going to have to run at fairly low resolutions to get decent frame rates. Many will choose to drop a feature or two to get some speed back, but they still won't be able to get near 60hz.Holy yikes Batman.
Remember, the game won't ship for a long time yet, and today's cards will seem a bit quaint by then.
