The end of Doom & Quake?

Carmack honestly isn't much of an influence on the industry anymore. The Doom III engine simply isn't as revolutionary as the older engines id has been putting out. The Source, Far Cry, and Unreal Warfare arguably all look at least as good, and in the case of Source better than D3.

It doesn't look like he stands much of a chance of winning anything with the xprize though..

I disagree saying that he isn't much of an influence anymore.

I'm not familiar with him, or his games really, but I do feel he does play a big role on the FPS's we know and love today. I have played both DOOM & Quake (I know Quake isn't an FPS, but hey...), and they are great. I also feel that this new engine will make all these games even better.

I do agree with him not winning anything for the xprize engine, but I don't think he's doing it just to get a piece of metal. This is just my opinion, so I'm probably wrong
