What? How do you know? I can create an email account with [email protected] for the name but does that make me the CEO of Apple, Inc.? If it's really Carmack then, I'll be damned. It's like having Jesus come by to your church to give you a brand new sports car.
Ya, he has used another profile too to post here earlier. But this one sounds genuine too. Might be posting from his mobile or some other device than his main computer. http://disqus.com/guest/61fc15fd4db81fd0f8086e42e77074ab/
If i remember correctly he do have an account on here like anyone els. And what the hell? Jesus? He might be a brilliant dev and creative person, but please... A good developer DO talk to the public!
Sorry fake JC, there is no gyro support. I'm holding it my hand right now, it only recognises tilting.
Well, I guess there is no doubt left about JC's id now This account has been confirmed by arn as genuine already.
Now THAT is a good one Totally agree...People will complain about anything! I could care less if this is on rails or not. For $2 this just looks amazing!
If so, the only explanation is that Carmack has no clue what the gyros are or how they're supposed to work, because they are NOT supported in either the tilt or touch control options.
I'm sitting in my office chair right now spinning around 360 with my feet off the floor. The screen doesn't budge in either tilt mode or touch mode so..... John?
No, my post wasn't a 'joke reply'. And don't worry, I saw that When presented with an account that was told to be verified by admins of this site whom I trust, and someone I have never seen a post from before, I am going to trust the first.
I love double digit posters who think they know better than the dev, esp. John Carmack of all people. Thanks for the laugh Ausgeno.
Coulda given him some tips... - Ditch Id and get a development team with the talent to make great games on his engines. - People do not like rail shooters but at the arcade. (I'm sure a few people will claim they prefer them over having full control now though) - No more creating cheesy fake game shows like what Dead Rising 2 did for the MP. It's not funny, it doesn't create good story and it just makes everyone cringe at it. Every time you get the announcer on these game shows pop on, people just try to skip it out of embarrassment. What Carmack should do is create the tools for other people to make games on the iPhone. Maybe them Gameloft games would be fun... though they still need to hire people who can create something original.
I love the fact that I'm sitting in my office chair right now spinning around 360 with my feet off the floor and the screen isn't moving in either tilt mode or touch mode and you're all getting excited over non-existent gyro support. Of course I bought the game, or do you think I'm giving impressions of last nights dinner??
