John Carmack paraseste id Software pentru Oculus Rift
"Legendarul" John Carmack (cel care a co-fondat id Software si a realizat Doom, Quake si Rage) se pare ca nu stie ce vrea sa faca. Acum cateva zile la QuakeCon a dat zeci de interviuri, dar niciunul nu indica miscarea pe care o va face astazi. Mai exact, noul sau "full-time job" devine "head of technology" la Oculus VR (compania care lucreaza la noul produs de realitate virtuala denumit Oculus Rift). Stirea a aparut pe sute de site-uri, care mai de care mai contradictorii. Unii spun ca acesta ar fi parasit complet id Software, altii spun ca de fapt este doar dorinta lui John Carmack de ajuta la developmentul temporar pentru Oculus Rift...
Oricum ar fi, e un pas interesant. Mai ales acum cand toti asteptau noul Doom. Sa se fi saturat Carmack de game development?
Cei de la Oculus au declarat ca "John Carmack joins Oculus VR full time as Chief Technology Officer and will work out of Oculus’ brand new Dallas office. Formerly at id Software, John is now full time at Oculus VR working on the Oculus Rift" pe cand de la Bethesda (id Software publisher) au spus ca "John has long been interested in the work at Oculus VR and wishes to spend time on that project. The technical leadership he provides for games in development at id Software is unaffected".
Intre timp a venit si raspunsul sec (un post pe twitter - i hate this thingie) al lui John Carmack: "My time division is now Oculus over Id over Armadillo. Busy busy busy!". Deci, cei care asteptau Doom, Rage, Quake or else... puneti-va pofta in cui! Sorry!
