New Carmack Interview on Oculus Rift

Read this yesterday. Pretty interesting the ZeniMax overlords turned him down in creating a VR angle for DOOM4+.

He's better off at Oculus than id anyways. Nothing but the utmost respect for Carmack.
 
I think Carmack can do more good for PC gaming at Oculus Rift than with id under Zenimax. I still don't know why he sold the company. I get that he didn't enjoy leading the business side and preferred to code but I would like to think there were better options.
 
carmack, carmack, wheres fucking doom bro, c'mon.

stop messing around. :mad:
 
this move just shows carmack has still got that bit of rock-star in him. I can understand why ZiniMax tried to contain him, but you just can't do that without some consequences. I'm proud of him, and ya know maybe it's a win-win, not to say Carmack was dragging id down by any means, but I bet folks at id had a shit-storm/wake-up call, and maybe they will change for the better because of it. There's no doubt Oculus is better off, and Carmack seems to be as well...

Maybe their "done when it's done" motto wasn't working too well these days? I seem to recall an interview with them saying the added pressure/deadlines would be a good thing for them, and they believed ZiniMax wouldn't try to boss them around too much. But yea, I'm interested to knowing more of what really happened too..
