John Carmack on PS3 - Video

enjoy!

It seems like everyone finds some reason to complain about how new consoles make the developer\'s lives harder.  I remember people saying that about the PS2 six years ago.  In spite of that, he DID say that "none of these consoles are awful."
 
It cuts off right when he says "We\'re not on board with the Nintendo side of things right..."

what a fucking nerd

A nerd that all nerds should aspire to emulate.

john vs john!

look at them guns.

what a fucking nerd

that made me crack up but as soon as I heard him complete a sentence I thought the same exact thing

You rang?

Tim Sweeney on UT2007, Aggeia and PS3 :

From the interview :

Jacob - And ten years from now do you vision that we will see... GPU\'s handling graphics, and PPU\'s handling physics, CPU doing A.I. and that kind of thing or do you think we will see some kind of blend of the 3 technologies or maybe 2 of them?

Sweeney - Looking at the long term future, the next 10 years or so, my hope and expectation is that there will be a real convergence between the CPU, GPU and non traditional architectures like the PhysX chip from Ageia, the Cell technology from Sony. You really want all those to evolve in the way of a large scale multicore CPU that has a lot of non traditional computing power as a GPU has now. A GPU processes a huge number of pixels in parallel using relatively simply control flow, CPU\'s are extremely good at random access logic, lots of branching, handling cache and things like that. I think really, essential, graphics and computing need to evolve together to the point where the future renderers I hope and expect will look a lot more like a software renderer from previous generations than a fixed function rasterizer pipeline and the stuff we have currently. I think GPU\'s will ultimately end up being... you know when we look at this 10 years from now, we will look back at GPU\'s being kinda a temporary fixed function hardware solution, to a problem that ultimately was, just general computing.

So, he likes Ati\'s unified shader system and he believes in Sony\'s architecture
in contrast to Carmack...

Knotter8,

that video clip is interesting.  That guy seems to know what he\'s talking about and I got lost in his technical explanation.  I like the part where he said Intel Pentium 4 sucks...I wonder what mm\'s thought on that one *me runs*

I wish it went on a bit more because he looks like he\'s about to rip nintendo.

I saw it when it was live. I don\'t remember exactly what he said but it wasn\'t bad.

what a fucking nerd

just thought i\'d resurrect this because this is exactly what i was thinking today about my co-workers :nerd:

Nah. Jumpy is just pissed because of this

Pretty sure I only watched the 1st ten seconds of that vid when it came out.
