More and more games will be like this from now on.

But, if Doom 4 takes up 3 DVDs it must be huge. I wonder how many DVDs Final Fantasy 13 is going to take.

Nice to have the game into one disk, but lots of PC games have install disks along with the playable disk and this can help with that problem. I guess the problem is not a lot of 360 users have a big hard drive.

Anymway, looking forward to Doom 4 for PS3!

Do you have a link? I don't think Carmack ever said that.

Example:

I see nothing in this interview saying he hates the PS3.

yes, he is still the best game engine programmer in the world the stuff he builds alone outmatch products of teams. I'm sure when Rage is released it would put UE3 to shame and probably easily take both crytech 2&3 this is after all John FUCKING Carmack we are talking about here

Can't wait for Rage. PC or PS3 that's the question !!

Who the hell is Camarack? I thought his last name was Carmack...

Well, maybe... but I have a strange felling that some of those executive guys who came out from tech crowd are moving not really in the same direction as the whole industry. They may have some tremendous insights on what's going on in the industry at their ground (I still remember Sweeney interview, where he threw a light on why PC retail game market is diminishing... rahter than just blame piracy), but outside that field... that's shaky ground for them. Moreover I have yet another strange felling of smth terrible to happen... Carmack is like dinosaur before meteor struck (or for whatever reason they extinct). I'm not sure if id Software could pull out smth ground-breaking, smth influential, smth that could be enjoyed by millions and millions as it used to be.

Probably the same and I'm willing to bet Final Fantasy XIII will have more content. It seems ID have no idea how to compress yet.

Do you have links for the 'hate' quote?  I've never heard of Carmack 'hating' on any of the consoles.  It's not his style.  He's technical and simply states his view technically in any interview I've ever read.

Checking myself I can't find anything like that.  All he does is discuss his view on various pros/cons on any platform he works on.

Are you confusing him with Gabe Newell from Valve?

OT it's a pity they cut the original design down due to DVD limitations, but I'm more concerned about how the game plays.  I still rate Carmack as perhaps the premier coder for tech for gaming, but while each engine he's produced is amazing technically the company has lost the strong lead it needs to deliver a great game built on that tech.  Hopefully they'll break this cycle with Rage.

I guess on 360 there is always the install option, but I suspose Arcade's make this hard to make mandatory.

I'll take Quake 5, John. Doom 3 was ok, but it was no Quake 4.

Sorry I exaggerated a little...

What I should have said was that he complained about the PS3
