Machine's don't have hearts or souls, boom, Carmack, more like Car-hack.

>>6928379
>interview 1996
Post it. You specucks were already caught lying about Tim Sweeney using a speccy

Nice fake quote.

>as if Carmack, an American, had seen or used a Spectrum in his life

>>6928386
Nonce

>>6928393
Carmack was a computer and technology enthusiast, of course he knew of the Speccy

>>6928392
It's common knowledge Sweeney used to program for fun on Spectrum

>>6928379
>but also the NES, despite graphical limitations
LOLok let's see you try Kirby's Adventure on the Spectrum.

speccyspeccysperccy ohiahaha bahaha i am funny guyy speccys epccy SPECY SPECY

>>6928415
You're talking about the microcomputer that Jet Set Willy is on. Of course it could do Kirbys Nonceland or whatever

>>6928379

>cherry picking a late period MMC3 game

Come on, you're better than that.

>>6928379
literally who?

>>6928439
>John Carmack, programmer of Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake, interview 1996

>>6928439
he made turok or something i think

>>6928379
Carmack is a washed up autistic hack who never ventured outside his fps comfort zone.

>>6928441
Never heard of those games.

>>6928447
don't bother, boomer shit
doom isn't ever real 3d lol

>>6928450
what about wolfenstein 3d? 3d is in the title.

>>6928439
Some old faggot with a $5 haircut and a penchant for making shitty games.

>>6928379
>Plus if one was a good enough programmer, you could get performance equal to or better than not only Commodore 64 but also the NES

I mean, there's a number of games that just aren't possible on the NES. C64 had higher resolution, more RAM, and more memory.

>>6928379
Is that the dude who kills the family pet?

>>6928453
All lies, the programmers never figured it out so all those games use tricks to imitate 3d. Quake is pretty convincing at least.

>>6928393
>>as if Carmack, an American, had seen or used a Spectrum in his life

Are you retarded, or do you actually think the Spectrum was only sold in europe?

>>6928453
It's chunky scaling pixels. Apparently the pixels are Nazis.

>>6928461
>more RAM and more memory

>doom isn't ever real 3d lol

3D space is calculated as you can move underneath projectiles and hit your head on the ceiling, so you're objectively wrong about it not being "true 3D".

>>6928474
all simulated physics

>>6928461
Many games on Speccy the NES couldn't handle as well. It's quite shit when you get down to it.

>>6928468
The ZX Spectrum was never sold in North America in its original form. We got a short-lived "cousin" in the Timex-Sinclair 2068 but it's not directly software compatible.

>>6928473
>he doesn't know the difference between RAM and storage space

I'm gonna take you're under 18.

>>6928475
It's simulated since it calculates Z-space you fucking retarded mongoloid. This isn't even arguable, it's fact.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GJ-gzna_dE&feature=emb_title

It has a z-axis.

>>6928412
No he didn't.

>>6928485
>since it calculates Z-space
>Z-space
lol that's just a 90s "extreme term" like blast processing, doesn't actually mean anything

>>6928476
>>6928461
The NES is specifically optimized for jump and run games and can't really go outside that narrow area even though later mappers tried to somewhat expand its capabilities.

>>6928379

Oi, remember Zeniggy?

>>6928490
Imagine actually this underage and retarded, holy shit.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/z-axis

>>6928485
>having to use some youtuber to argue for you
lol

>>6928491
Is the Speccy optimized for terrible games or was that from developer effort?

>>6928494
anybody can edit wiktionary

>>6928490
Imagine actually being this underage and retarded, holy shit.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/z-axis

>>6928502
lol, okay, you're trolling me, thank god, I actually thought you were really that fucking stupid. You learn this shit in 8th grade geometry.

>>6928474
So you could in shitty isometric spectrum games, were those true 3D too?

For example it kind of fails at genres where you need a keyboard and lots of rewritable memory as the NES ports of Ultima and other WRPGs proved.

>>6928503
>>6928502
*also just because some obscure math term is called z-axis that doesn't mean anything

>>6928489
He has spoken numerous times about how important the Spectrum was to his formative years as a programmer

>>6928509
Yeah, just bored and messing around.

>>6928514
>obscure math term
The absolute state of american education

If anything it's more likely he learned programming on an Apple II or C64.

>>6928514
Thanks anon, you've given me content to post on /sci/, thanks, I rarely ever have anything to post on there about.
