John Carmack. Industry legend and big iPhone fan.
John Carmack has clearly been rather taken with the iPhone as a platform. Having just demonstrated RAGE running at a slick 60 frames per second (and with beautiful textures) he concluded by claiming that with the iPhone hardware he can create games that are better looking than anything on the previous generation of home consoles...
"As you look towards the industry in future years years, the idea that yeah, I just pulled out of my pocket the machine there that, yeah I could kill anything on a previous generation console like an XBox or a PS2 or something on the hardware thats there. It's not as powerful as the current generation but it's not all that far off."
While Carmack went on to note the drawback of the lack of tactile controls he concluded overall that the iPhone is a neat little platform that has done well for them in terms of game sales. Encouraging stuff indeed for all the hardcore iPhone gamers out there.
