E3 2012: John Carmack Interview

[jacderida]

Seems like Carmark is really easy to interview: ask him one question, then he'll do all the talking for you! Guy is an absolute legend.

[ded]

John Carmack reminds us all that game developers are artists, with passions that run white hot, and drives as great as any portrait artist or cinematographer.

[AJyoutubes]

Thanks for letting him talk (with little or no interruption) - his technical accuracy and understanding makes for such an awesome piece to listen to.

[mbyb]

Thanks John for all your effort evangelizing the Rift at a critical point in time for VR.

[misterhorse]

It's surreal to watch this now on my Quest 2.

[TeamBeefVR]

And now we can play Doom 3 on standalone VR. Thanks John Carmack for making it Open Source

"we can't correct this in hardware, but i corrected it in software"

this fucking guy

[oskarvarg]

I am so happy Carmack is still young so that he can keep that mind of his working for many years to come

[zadeh]

Carmack has such an incredible mind. It is half man, half machine.

[IISGII]

Same here, even though I don't understand the first thing about engineering and programming. I just love the passion he shows for this kind of thing. Top guy.

[eskimosilver]

I could sit and listen to this guy talk all day!

[slicethecake]

I understood very little of that, but Carmack is absolutely mesmerising to listen to and watch. Such a passionate and knowledgable guy. Glad to see that someone out there realises that 3d and head tracking arent just gimmicks, but the next step for immersion, too.

[Trippb]

if i had the chance talking to him id be overwhelmed with the way he is so passionate about innovating i would want to truely marvel the way he is a true genius in the things he does with improving this

[IncognitoSprax]

John is the type of guy that you need in an industry, ANY industry. It's the people that are enthusiastic about what they do, that want to push the boundaries, those are the people that bring innovation. Whether it is something innovative that works or doesn't, for whichever the cause it somebody sooner or later is going to end up improving on it.

That's how we evolve technology!

[SchwarzieJSY]

"Deeply Fundamentally Cool" Love that :-) I was hooked on VR development ever since this video, fascinating! Fair play to John for sitting in that loud cubicle all day showing people this tech! I would have lost my mind and walked out after 10mins!

[Armageist]

These guys clearly weren't expecting a thesis from Mr. Carmack, but that's what makes him so amazing. He's awesomely down to earth and still has the creative bug like a genius teenager tinkering with new tech in his room at home.

[ShadowFoxVideos]

It's actually not music edited into this video. The interview was just catching the music from other booth's inside the Expo

[Darkskyable]

Hard to believe JC is a metalhead. I LOVE HIM!!

[gucker]

carmack is a freaking genius. i'm glad there are people like him around that really can make stuff happen.

[gmadera]

cant wait till this device is on the market
