RWDboy Forums Junkie Location: South Australia Registered: July 2002	Re: Doom Mon, 07 November 2005 13:01 Uhhh - right, I think this is just a difference in opinion. You know, different strokes for different strokes Sure the script wasn't great, but it's not the worst script to come out either. The actors weren't great either, the set production wasn't great, the editing wasn't great, the directing and cinematography wasn't great, the score wasn't great and the marketing wasn't great either. Alot of things screwed the pooch when it came to that movie, just because iD signed off on the script (and note, not one of the big wigs at iD have a history in screenplay writing) doesn't make them 'losers'. They made the call and put trust in the wrong people. The people to blame are the people who made the movie, not iD. Secondly, Doom 3 was a very successful game and was both critically acclaimed and also well received by it's audience (me included in that). One thing you might also want to note is that iD software have not always been touted as being the greatest game developers of all time, but their influence on the industry through the licensing of the technology and their support of creative up-and-coming developers (such as Valve for example) mean they are an incredibly vital ingredient in the world of (PC) computer games. I can definitely vouch for John Carmack *not* being a loser. The others (Adrian Carmack, Todd Hollenshead, Tim Willits and Kevin Cloud) i don't really know alot about because either I haven't personally had any contact with them or I haven't really kept up with the GDC in the last few years. I haven't got a favourable *impression* of Todd Hollenshead, i can say that much. Until you have even attempted making a computer game i don't think you can pass judgement on them as to whether they are any good at it or not [Report message to a moderator]
