Carmack

>Used to soup up his Ferraris
>Invented many engines for many games

Is Carmack the most important guy in vidya?

Also
>As reported in David Kushner's Masters of Doom, when Carmack was 14, he broke into a school to help a group of kids steal Apple II computers. To gain entry to the building, Carmack concocted a sticky substance of thermite mixed with Vaseline that melted through the windows. However, an overweight accomplice struggled to get through the hole, and opened the window, setting off a silent alarm and alerting police. John was arrested, and sent for psychiatric evaluation (the report mentions 'no empathy for other human beings' and describes Carmack as 'a brain on legs'). Carmack was then sentenced to a year in a juvenile home

>He's a sociopath

Makes sense now how he stole millions from his company with no remorse

Daily reminder to fix your posture.

Carmack definitely owns. I think he is probably the strongest candidate for most important guy in vidya.

Tarn Adams has also had a big impact

I mean just look at him

He didn't steal shit.

xplain fegget

every successful & brilliant person is, welcome to life.

Okay let's just ignore everything that happened in vidya before the year 1991

>Sup Forums was created because of somethingawful
>somethingawful was created because of quakenet
>quakenet was created because of quake
>quake was created because of john carmack

He is the hero that Sup Forums deserves, but not the one it needs. A watchful protector. A dark autist.

There are probably a lot of developers and other people who work on the technology that have had a big impact that aren't famous. Like the developers who work on Unity. That isn't really the same as what Carmack did almost single handedly but you get what I'm saying.

what one dude has done more than John?
Hes like elon musk, only he didn't steal from the taxpayers and his companies actually make money. (elon is a fagget)

Who do you think has had a bigger impact in that era than Carmack had in his era? I dont think anyone is ignoring that time period its just hard to think of a single person who has done so much, from any era

Maybe the pioneers of the hardware/software from which quake was run/coded on, along with every other game ever made?

Richard Garriott. Ultima Underworld is older than Wolf3D too.

>Richard Garriott

Oh yeah I forgot about him. What are some of his achievements

>Id

Other most important guy in vidya coming through.

riterarry who?

Yu Suzuki (鈴木 裕? Suzuki Yū, born June 10, 1958) is a Japanese game designer, producer, programmer, and engineer, who helmed Sega's AM2 team for 18 years. He has been responsible for the creation of Sega's biggest global arcade hits, including three-dimensional sprite/texture-scaling games such as Hang-On, Space Harrier, Out Run, and After Burner, and pioneering polygonal 3D games such as Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter,[2] which are credited with popularizing 3D graphics in video games,[3][4][5][6][7] as well as the critically acclaimed Shenmue series of open world adventure games.[8][9] As a hardware engineer, he led the development of various arcade system boards, including the Sega Space Harrier, Model 1, Model 2,[2] and Model 3,[10] and was involved in the development of the Dreamcast console and its corresponding NAOMI arcade hardware.[11]

In 2003, Suzuki became the sixth person to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame. IGN listed him at #9 in their Top 100 Game Creators of All Time list.[12] In 2011, he received the Pioneer Award at the Game Developers Choice Awards.[13][14]

reading that description makes me think of that guy

sorry, THAT one

He's in the top 5 along Shigeru Miyamoto and Hideo Kojima

Zenimax for what they deserved.

-Pioneered all modern wrpgs
-Pioneered all modern jrpgs
-Pioneered all modern mmos
-Created open world games
-Did 3D engines before ID

And so on. Play Ultima.

>ferrari

trash taste, dropped

>Hideo Kojima
Fucking kys

>Sup Forums was created because of somethingawful
>somethingawful was created because of quakenet
wut

Kojima is cool but overrated

Miyamoto is also cool but hes literally an ideas man, games would be fine without him

How does a turbo nerd have a better jawline than me?

>Shigeru Miyamoto
Nintendo literally ruined video games.
>Hideo Kojima
Insane retard.

Vidya today would've be as big if it weren't for Shiggy
DK alone survived the crash of 87' and grew up an entire generation with Mario and Zelda

Both are idea-guy marketers similar to steve jobs.

>all this shit
>doesn't know how to wipe hard drive
>got fucked by Zenimax lawyers
Nah, he's a shitter.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

he used his autism for good
he's the batman of autism

Does anyone have a video of him saying that?

nvm just found one hmm

This website literally wouldn't exist without carmack.

HOW TO WIPE A HARDDRIVE GOOGLE HELP AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes, but everything that has come out of Nintendo has pushed the vidya industry towards the lowest common denominator. Their mission statement is 'how can we appeal to the biggest audience possible?" Every idea that came out of Shigeru's head has been pure cancer.

losing control of my faculties mmm

So what? Companies legit aren't people.
fuck Cit Uni, sheeple

It just makes me sad that he'll probably not work on 3D engines again, so we're never again getting a game that's as well optimized as Doom 4.

redpill me on the battleaxe

I dont mind Carmack doing Space stuff

On the other hand, he was developing that megatexture shitpile of an engine for 10 years.

The difference is that carmack made the first 3D games than ran well on PC hardware.
Ultima Underworlds framrate was hot garbage.
