Carmack’s Keynote Speech At QuakeCon
August 7th, 2006 Posted in News

Id Software co-founder and lead programmer John Carmack gave his usual keynote speech at the annual QuakeCon convention.
There were no big news, but he did reveal that their next project is an FPS game, but will focus more on gameplay than on graphics. The game will be a completely new project, and not another Doom or Quake game. It will use megatextures, one massive texture fitting the entire map, a technology that will debut in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
He mentioned that Quake 3 was the “purest” game he ever created, and wants his team to stick to what they’re good at, making solid FPS games.
