John Carmack on Designing Quake's Addictive Gameplay | Joe Rogan

Taken from JRE #1342 w/John Carmack:

[HieronymousLex]

For those who don’t know, John Carmack literally invented and created the First Person Shooter. He programmed Hovertank, which went on to become Wolfenstein 3D, which turned into DOOM, which spawned Quake, who’s engine led to half-life, counter strike, call of duty, and inspired every FPS you can think of. They can all be traced back to John Carmack. His impact on gaming can’t be overstated.

Finally Joe gets to talk about Quake when it’s actually relevant.

[brynleyjones]

Joe should create a segment where he plays quake with young Jamie

[tshepp]

"Do you remember Thresh?" - "Yeah. I gave him my Ferrari." Haha.

[Rufinoman]

I like the fact that John Carmack isn't stuck in the 90s, doesn't have any hangups and always looks to the future - the next best thing.
Good bloke.

[toddzilla]

I want to see Joe play Quake. As much as he talks about it, id love to see it.

[jillvalentinefan]

Doom and Quake will be immortalized forever in cultural history. God bless John Carmack and his guys.

Joe Rogan explaining video games like its 1995

[deadeye]

Carmack is to FPS gaming what Alan Turing was to computer science. I personally spent 3 hours a day in 1997 playing Quake on line, and loved every minute of it. Thank you Carmack!

[eugenealive]

Year 2021. I'm 40 years old and I still have vanilla Quake-3 on my hard drive and play in regularly. Thank you John.

[TheBruceKeller]

Playing Quake as a kid gave me an insane sense of timing that I have to this day. Like I'm always getting up when a timer is about to go off. Just remembering like 3 different timers really re-wired some shit in my brain.

[comfortable.and.furious]

Like Civvie said, there's a much darker timeline in the multiverse where John Carmack kills us all.

[christopher]

"When my addiction got resparked" "playing 2, 3, 4 hours a day" Oh Joe, sweet summer child

[RicardoJunqueira]

I used to have Quake dreams as well. And for some time, I would even instinctively STRAFE to avoid objects in my home. I can still hear those grenades bouncing all around. Quake was the reason a had friends growing up. Thank you, John!

[jonah]

Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament are still the pinnacle of muiltiplayer FPS design.

[wretchedknave]

John 'Brain on legs' Carmack. What a legend. Fond memories of many weekends and all nighters playing Quake at LAN parties. I was one of those games where we would take a break from to play something else, and 15 mins later we would be right back playing it.

[AlexanderSimic]

I love what he said about new games being focused grouped to death. I just invested in a ps1 ps2 and ps3. U gotta deal with some bad graphics sometimes but diversity of the library of games on those older systems is something we are missing in modern day gaming. I feel like the game designers were free to create there own visions back then now it seems all games are being taken over by the big shots on top and being hollywoodized

[garbonix]

John Carmack! Absolute legend. Few people will be so brilliant and influential. Happy Joe let the man just talk.
