Comment on Laid off idTech developers are starting their own studio: Hidden Horses
BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 9 hours agoIt wasnt for AI in this case. IdSoftware had arguably the best engineers in the industry. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal look beautiful and run on junk GPUs to this day.
Something happened after Doom Eternal and next game came up… Just mid. Amazing cutscenes, very mid gameplay, garbage performance due to mandatory ray tracing, while looking same as previous games.
Game didnt sell well, parent company fired people EA style.
Also they fucked Mick Gordon their music producer who did music for all doom games.
