It could get worse. I practice at a Gracie BJJ School and I can say that in a self-defense situation, wrestling takedowns work much better then Judo throws. With a wrestling shot you can wall and deflect punches. The clinch works to restrain. A single leg keeps you out of punching distance and a double leg can end the fight immediately. Combine that with boxing strikes and you would have yourself a perfect self-defense trio. Boxer’s jab. Wrestler’s takedown. Jiu-Jitsu’s ground game

When you say things like this, it really becomes obvious how much youre overattributing lol. It's like people think he made mediocre-bad decisions after Quake on purpose.

Daikatana shows how much Romero needed the Carmacks. Quake II shows how much John Carmack needed Romero and Hall. One of these games is infamously terrible and often analysed for just how many things can go wrong even when a superstar developer is involved. The other game is mostly remembered for it's colored lighting, when it's remembered at all.

The biggest problem with Daikatana was that Romero used a green crew to make it. He thought he could train them to make the game. They were straight out of college and had zero experience. Then his marketing team painted him into a corner with the "Romero will make you his bitch" shit. The whole thing would have worked if he given himself more time to train his staff and put a muzzle on the marketing team. He was really trying to help out a new generation of programmers and got in way over his head, which sounds normal for Romero.

I think what makes the story of Ion Storm and Daikatana particularly sad was that in my opinion it was probably Romeros attempt to have a company like the early days of ID again, a company that did things to their own schedule and had fun doing it. Sure he was gonna have way bigger cheques and more staff working on different projects but I think he just wanted his workplace to be fun again. The earlier days of ID was a group of misfits that would smash keyboards off the walls, listen to metal, play DnD and death match one another all day and generally work by their own rules. During the insanely difficult development of Quake however the mood definitely shifted from a frat boy mentality to a company that had to work tirelessly round the clock to get the product out. Combine that with the massive success going to his head that made Romero not want to grind in the workplace anymore and you can probably see why he felt the company he co-founded just didn’t feel the same as it did. That being said I don’t blame Carmack at all for coming down on him, back in the day it would always be him and Romero that would work the longest and hardest out of everyone and he just wasn’t pulling his weight at all at that point. When one of the star players of your team effectively decides to live it up like a rockstar and enjoy the fruits of their success at the cost of productivity and results I think it would probably piss anyone off.

@@adam1984pl True, but Romero also contributed at least one other vital thing he doesn't get enough credit for: Romero was the tools guy. Carmack made the engines the game ran on, so all the consumers could see his work. But Romero made the tools that allowed the team to make the content of the games so that those engines wouldn't just be tech demos. And that is precisely why Quake 2 feels so much like a tech demo. It's not just the lack of Romero's input on the design of the game, it's the lack of Romero's input on the design of the tools behind the scenes. The reason why Romero rarely gets credit for this now is because at the time nobody cared about map editors that wouldn't run on the same machines the games ran on. Because consumers and journalists could see Carmack's obvious contributions and couldn't see Romero's less obvious contributions, he often didn't get the credit he deserved. He was held up as a vague "rock star developer" instead of the humbler but far more accurate and useful title of "the tools guy".

@unfa Sure thing! So, from what we’ve gathered, each portrait has an animation that represents the developers personality (at least in Tim Willits' mind), right? Tim himself spins around like a hyperactive, happy-go-lucky dude who he thought he was. Brandon James spurts out random garbage out of his mouth. Probably indicating Tim didn’t appreciate much of what he had to say. Moreover, his portrait is red, probably meaning Tim didn’t see him in a good light. American McGee straight up just explodes! I’m assuming he had a short temper. John Carmack just vanishes down the floor. He might’ve been a reclusive person, staying at his own corner, away from others. He also had his own room, with NPCs moaning and begging to be let out and to “make it stop”. That might’ve been an indication of the mistreatment the developers went through while making Quake 2 and John Carmack being the head of the development and the one to blame.That’s the cherry on the cake for me and what makes it all truly depressing. This is my view from it. I haven’t read Masters of Doom yet, so what I interpreted might not be what was on Willits' mind, but nonetheless it just looks sad. And that’s not to mention the missing images! What’s up with those, huh?

I find it fairly unnerving as well, but I think for different reasons than you and the other guy. It gives me the sense of; for lack of a concise way of putting it; desecrating your own history and past work for the sake of getting one over your former friend and co-worker. It's obviously not quite that serious since Commander Keen can still be bought in its original form, but it still feels spiteful in a way that disrespects not just Romero but what he and the other big-name id guys had worked on as well, that being a game that's very important to the history of their company (EDIT: and of PC gaming in general) too. I guess you could read into the Keen cameo in DOOM II this way as well, but idk, that one somehow comes off as a lot more lighthearted. I guess it's the more realistic rendering of the Dopefish and the colder atmosphere. EDIT: I was trying to think of a hypothetical to better explain the feeling I get here, but the best/most relatable for this audience I can come up with would be if; after Carmack left; id's next game had a similar Easter Egg but with a dead Doomguy and the message "story in a game is like story in a porn movie" or something.

This was the first PC game I ever played. For some reason, my grandma had it sitting on the shelf when I was 14, totally out of place. So I figured "why not" and tossed it into her Pentium 4. It took me three days to get a comfortable and consistent control layout. To this day I hate keyboards for gaming and to this day I still think ESDF is better than WASD. For some games I would accept ZXC+arrow keys over WASD. And I built my own gaming PC with power tools and a soldering iron, so I'd say I have more claim to the silly title of "master race" than most. The original version of this thing had Xbox parts in it. I plan to use car parts in my next one.

Quake II was a blast. The hype would it mean would never, could never, live up to peoples expectations. But I played it in software mode on a vanilla Pentium 200Mhz, with no 3D acceleration and in 320x200 with around 15-25fps. Loved every minute. Throwing a VooDoo card in there a few months later and the game opened up into something incredible. It had some bad sections (the mines) but the more merrier. And deathmatch on Edge was something else. Most of the Godfathers of Quake III OSP came from Quake II pedigree.

I agree that Q4's more grounded designs will probably age better, but I lament the loss of that rough around the edges, haphazardly-thrown-together, brutish look that the Q2 designs had. You could tell that the strogg didn't give a shit what their troops looked like, because their engineers didn't even UNDERSTAND the human physiology. Quake 4's designs on the other hand, are so much more restricted and less imaginative in comparison that they almost strike me as generic. I still like 'em, but they don't hit as hard as the distorted visages of human and animal nature from Q2.

Copied from my last reply: The worst thing about Quake 2 by far (and I don't give a shit what Civvie says, he's flat out wrong) is the awful weapon damage. A few weapons like the Minigun are fine (even though it chews through so much damn ammo and has a slow start-up) but they are few and far between. I actually made a mod that buffs the weapons, although I tried to be conservative. And after some time, after pulling the mod out and playing Q2 again, it's STILL not quite enough. I don't know if they just balanced these weapons for MP or what the hell they did, but regardless, even though the weapons FEEL satisfying (visuals and sounds), they aren't at all and are by far the most ineffectual weapons I've seen in an id campaign. I mean, look at this! 11:17 And this! 14:09 Thankfully, I've never had this issue with an id game before or since.

I always felt like a rampage even without the powerups. So much armor even on Nigtmare. When I did find a quad damage i'd pop the old one and rush everything. I remember the processing plant the most for the gore and showing how they process the bodies. Same as I remember the cyborg conversion scene and the abandoned specimen sewers in Quake 4. What I hated when I have grown up is that they show and talk about the Big Gun but you never see it fired and all you really is go to a flat open room, kill a bug you kill multiple times, push a button and run to a train. That's it. I expected it to take several parts and later you walk through levels of the base crushed and completely decimated from the Big Gun falling down and pieces crashing everywhere. But I hate even more how people say the RTX graphics looks great. They look like 3D baldis basics. It's just flat empty bright textures that doesn't have the drawn on dark yet colorful appeal of the original. Old games look great still for a reason, same as cell shaded. It's HAND DRAWN same as Rayman 2. It doesn't look like good lighting effect it's like playing through a 3D painting with the illusion of depth that you believe and it fools you into checking if it's actually a 3D mesh but it's actually just a completely flat plane with a picture on it.

@@Brunoki22 You'd have to completely redo the game from scratch. Old games are flat simple shapes with painted on shaders and colors. You've seen many modern remakes where the gun suddenly has tons of small details. That's because a texture is a texture, it's a single flat color where the depth and shadow is handled purely by the engine, where as older games, again like Rayman 2 there is no shadow or lighting engine. It simply has invisible fields either making you bright or darker and everything else is light beam models and painted on. To make Quake 2 look good in RTX you'd have to change the light setting to exaggerate more through post processing and change the ambient occlusion mask by hand for each model, which is how shaders look and are handled on a model. In Blender you can paint more shadows in a crack or more on a tip. It's the same as regular painting only with darkness. But most importantly, few and low lights, lots of color and over the top unrealistic shadows. These games aren't realistic, they're artistic. Meaning the mood sets the setting. Like a dark comic where you can't see half their face. Unrealistic but would Batman be as badass or intimidating if his black silhouette to the dark city was completely visible and blue to a bright bland skyscraper? Anyone could see him and it completely ruins the mood, it just makes him look silly.

@@Brunoki22 First is less lighting. Good games restrict light sources and their effect so you get more exaggerated shadows. Second TL;DR Pre rendered post processing. Make highly detailed textures and lighting pre rendered that is impossible to change. And add many small details to the textures, let nothing be clean and clear. Second is textures, it's what's drawn on the planes. It needs more detail. Mud, rush, imperfections. Compare some old games. Their cgi/hand drawn still backgrounds vs the low poly 3D models/moving characters. Perfect example is Thief and Warcraft. Thief's graphics are rather dull and simple, while the cutscenes have so many details you can practically see the goosbumps on their wrinkles and the shining in their eyes. And just compare Warcraft 3's cutscenes to the in game models. No competition. It's the kind of level of detail you can only get through post processing in static pre rendered effects.
