John Carmack , owner of id Software , said at QuakeCon07 he has his peeps checking out the iphone.
- The iPhone. Carmack wants Apple to allow its new mobile phone platform to have an open development environment. He described arguing with Steve Jobs about this, and Jobs explained to him that the closed environment was necessary to maintain "security" for the platform. Carmack flatly said (to the audience) he didn't believe Jobs.
Regardless of his differences with Jobs, Carmack thinks the iPhone is "neat," and has assigned some of his people to look into developing for it.
as quoted by urbandictionary:
"A game which all players of Counter-Strike, Halo, Quake et al should thank for making the first-person shooter genre what it is today.
Doom is a classic in the true sense of the word. It spawned techniques still used in First-Person Shooters today.
All are fantastic games, but Doom outranks them all. After all, Doom is simply legendary among shooter fans, even more so than the seminal CS. Thank Doom, with its crude 2D sprites, blocky graphics and unparalleled gameplay."
I installed it, but all I get is the three screens repeating over and over. Is this the "demo" they're talking about? For all I know, the Doom executale could just be displaying stored images... I was expecting the video demo. Let me know if I'm expecting too much, or if I have a bad install.
