When the guy talks, you listen!

This is why this guy's great for the industry. Full on engineer mode, so if you are not a developer, this might be hard to digest

I'm not even interested in this stuff and watched 40 minutes of it, I like the way he talks xD

Watched it all earlier. I love how honest he is and is clearly talking from a good coder angle (if somewhat a bad marketing one). I'd be exactly the same about my code in that situation.

Almost man-crush territory

absolute genius of an engine coder but sucks goat balls at actual game design.

and T-Shirt selection.

interesting vid tho.

He is not designing games, designers do. He is just a technical lead. Actually he says so himself around half way. Anyway, It's mostly a tech talk, limitations of consoles, PC shortcomings, Static Code Analysis (in short, bug-proofing), ect... Not sexy stuff, unless you are a coder.

Hence why he's an engineer, not a designer.

:rolleyes:

Thanks for the video, unfortunately no Q&A but nevertheless an interesting keynote as usual.

I'm not sure if various entries of Carmack's keynote that have been posted here contain the Q&A (I forget since I've seen several videos posted), so in case not here it is :

I do love his enthusiasm, not just standing there spouting PR BS hyping impossible features he can never deliver, but still managing to push the boundaries with what he can deliver.
