Should be...erm...interesting.

You know you've hit the big time when you're designing games for mobile phones.
Incidentally, that's what John Romero's doing now. Whaddaprick.

Carmack talks about how a chance occurrence

meaning he found out there's lots of money in it

 

[Danimal]

Let's hope that they don't advertise/whore it as much as the crazy frog. They already did it with Duke Nukem, why not Doom?

 

[Murray_H]

Will the adverts for Doom RPG take over as the most annoying thing since the crazy frog?

He does seem to find a lot of cons with the whole platform, so it must be money based. OMGWTFBBQ sellout!

 

[ray_MAN]

Oh man. I wish he would just go work on his rockets.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

:| wtf..... no!?

 

[HunterSeeker]

Bah I am tired of people just adding a way for players to "level up" and then call it an RPG

umm... wow, ok... go carmack?

 

[DrDevin]

I cant wait for in a poorly controlling RPG on a 2 inch 16bit colour screen. Carmack can work miracles in programming but whole whole platform is not exactly a good place for a great game. I think he should try to make phone tetris with dynamic lighting, self shadowing bricks, normal and parallax mapping on your paddle not to mention advanced fluid dynamics!

doesn't a good rpg require a good story, and didn't carmack say

"Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important."

 

[DrDevin]

Good point! I also dont know how they will get a good story into a cellphone game. There is no space for voiceovers and phones do not have good speakers. Also text to read would have to be large enough to read but not large enough to obscure the small screen

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Bah I don't care, he's probably just messing around with it... Except now for his little test game he's putting it in the Doom universe, and expects to make money off it...

That's pretty g4y..

But hey as long as he makes an amazing next-gen engine Let's hope it's less of a tech demo for lighting, and is a lot more flexible

 

[Asknoone]

doesn't a good rpg require a good story, and didn't carmack say

A long time ago in a land far far away, a princess found herself trapped in hell, or so they called it, by and an evil evil doer called Betr - I mean Satan. As the handsome prince doom man you must make really important decisions like will you go into the forest to find the portal? Or will you look in the cave.

Then you have your most important choice. Will you rescue the princess or kill her. Your choice makes such a massive difference, because either way you fight satan. But he has a different appearance. Because you find out satan is a good version of you, or an evil version, depending on which choice.

Give Carmack a medal.

Jeebus. The way some of you express such irrational bias and contempt approaches the level of religious fanaticism. Who declared the Jihad against Carmack? You should be thanking your lucky starts the man even bothered to invent your hobby in the first place. So what if he wants to tinker with mobil phones, what kind of pathetic person does it take to actually muster negative feelings about this?

Where did the attitude of my brothers in this beloved hobby of mine take this drastic a turn towards such woeful cynicism?
