@@Fztrm have you seen a tech demo of Doom running inside Doom? a guy discovered a bug which literally allows injecting any executable code into a trigger of Megasphere being collected (mainly left here by developers in order to switch the dynamic lighting in the original game when the sphere is being removed from the environment), and he injected... what? The whole Doom binary into it, allowing to play Doom inside Doom
PC / videogaming is such a new medium that established genre pioneers aren’t even that old yet! Also it’s incredible to see what hasn’t changed that much in FPS gaming since these unbelievably innovative days.
@@ruslansmirnov9006 please elaborate. Like vr and such? Of course nothing literally never dies but this game launched 29 years ago man and its STILL popular. Essentially forever in videogame terms
It’s always interesting to wonder whether Carmack really is the greatest programmer alive, or whether he’s just the best one to achieve stardom through his involvement on culturally influential media. Either way, he’s great at what he does and I’m glad he does it.
Most digital graphics methods were already published in white papers by university researchers. Carmacks genius was getting it to work successfully on the very limited PC of that time.
Definitely near the top. What’s important to note is that a lot of other early video game genres- like puzzles, adventure, sports, etc- already had parallels to real-world games. The FPS genre was incredibly fresh, and not only did Doom bring it to the widest audience ever, but the genre has only gotten more popular with time. So you could make the case that it’s the most influential PC / video game of all time. A side-scroller / platformer like Mario Bros would be in the running, too, as it’s older and the genre is still going strong. Maybe not as popular as the FPS genre, but still quite popular.
now that we know what kind of a scumbag Steve Jobs really was hearing people calling him their Hero is still odd and confusing to me given that the Macintosh was made as an Eff you to the Apple Lisa team which kicked him off their team being the turd of a man that he was, this guy was among the most vindictive guy to ever exist.
it's more complex than that. Without Steve Jobs starting NeXTstep we very well may never had seen DOOM! Jobs was right to be fired at the time, but Apple was right to hire NeXT back and that operating system was the basis of the modern Apple.
As cool as these stories always are. It's always seems to come to people already having money. Gotta have money to make money. 15000 dollars today is a lot of money. 15000 back then was an insane amount of money.
how cute, a "documentary" about a topic by people who clearly don't know much about said topic, or they would have titled the video "Inventing the FPS genre" not "changing the FPS genre". they INVENTED it. they didn't CHANGE it. they CREATED IT.
funny way of spelling invented. but maybe you can show me examples of the FPS games where you're holding a gun at the bottom of the screen, before id. i'll wait.@@doomlava8
FPS was absolutely a genre back in those days, but I'll grant you that it was in its fledgling years. DOOM obliterated the competition (sadly including one of my favorites, Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold... which came out a week prior) and set the bar for all FPS games to follow, which is why the term "DOOM clone" became a thing.
The only game genre I've never played, nor will ever play (aside from "visual novels"... if those can even be called _games_ ). Controlling a pair of anonymous, disembodied hands, holding a firearm sutured to an invisible chin, is not my idea of fun gaming. Even from an immersion standpoint, having zero peripheral vision, and all the diminished game world interaction inherent in the first-person perspective, is enough to make the sub-genre far to lowly for epicurean gamers. First-person is a throw-back to an era where the hardware did not exist to render character in full 3-D, and the sub-genre really is an anachronism that only exists because, like poisonous junk, people eat it up. By all rights, the advent of V. R. should have killed the first-person games dead.
the original Doom is still one of the greatest video games ever made that is still fun to play today. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are absolute garbage. Hugo Martin ruined that franchise.
