Carmack: Apple Not Keen on iPhone Games
Thursday, November 15th, 2007 at 3:00 PM - by John Martellaro
Id Softwares John Carmack was critical of Apples stance on supporting games for the iPhone in an interview with Game Daily on Thursday.
Mr. Carmack is well known for developing games such as "Doom" and "Quake." In addition he created "Doom RPG" and the "Orcs & Elves" series for mobile phones. He thinks that the market for games on mobile devices is huge and will grow larger.
"There are 10 to 20 times as many mobile phones as there are personal computers and 100 times as many as there are console platforms," Mr. Carmack noted. "As these things evolve into devices more like the media powerhouses were used to developing for, theres a possibility we could have a breakout success there."
However, for now, Steve Jobs disagrees. "Steve Jobs and I have not been seeing really eye to eye on a lot of important issues. We were in a fairly heated argument at the last WWDC [Worldwide Developers Conference] and weve had a few follow-ups. I have an iPhone right now and its a platform I would enjoy developing for but Apple is not taking progressive steps in regards to [gaming]," Mr Carmack said.
Mr. Carmack pointed to the iPod as a not so great platform to develop games for due to the emulation required. He expressed his concern to Mr,. Jobs that the limitation wouldnt carry over to the iPhone. However, Mr. Carmack is not optimistic. "...theyre not giving any spectacular signs that its [game development] going to be a big deal for them in the next year," he said.
