John Carmack demonstrates ID Tech 5 at WWDC 2007

Very very nice.

And he uses Macintoshes for ALL his demos.
Again: the king of graphics USES MACINTOSH COMPUTERS TO PRESENT ALL OF HIS DEMOS.
Remember this.

And he says the TECH6 engine will the last.
The TECH6 engine will be as far as graphics can go.

I can't wait ....

you have a good point

So what? Mac's only have certain hardware config's, making it easier to test and demo stuff.. what's the big deal?

pfff give me a break..... hes countin dollars and doesnt give a damn anymore like he did with the two first games.....

This engine will be... Epic? Yeah, that's about right. The Tech 4 looks awsome even today.

Let's not forget the fact the original Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake games had different directions in terms of gameplay during the development. :p lol

this demo was run on an 8 core mac with 512 memory and an nvidia quadro card back in 07

I am reading Masters of Doom - probably the top 5 entertaining page-turners in my life.

I am enjoying it especially because I was Keen addict when it came out and I remember everything about what was going in my life during that era. Great memories to relive, through reading about the creators of this game. And being a programmer myself, love reading about his ability to focus and his passion to really own his skill and conquer that world.

Still relies heavily on texturing fill rate. A very primitive game engine.

john carmack rulz, he also won a competition for nasa with his armadillo aerospace.
