“Carmack’s demonstration, using the id Tech 5 engine, could possibly be the most impressive tech we’ve seen on the iPhone,” Fahey reports. “Running on the iPhone 4 but easily run on the 3GS, the visuals indeed rivaled anything from the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox, and might even be able to give a few current-gen titles a run for their money.”

Niiiiiice! I’m not even a fan of FPS games, but if this can be done, games across the board can hope to be better.
Now is the time for some big games publisher to sell a dual analog stick iPad/iPhone case…
I would live to see a Pokemon/Digimon style game on the iPhone/iPad. There’s that stupid Petwars thing but it doesn’t come even close.
John Carmack, the one man team… gosh, he should be knighted.
It took a team of a dozen developers to port quake to the iPhone and 12 months, whilst it took Carmack 4 days
“Direct-3D IM is a horribly broken API. It inflicts great pain and suffering on the programmers using it, without returning any significant advantages. I don’t think there is ANY market segment that D3D is appropriate for, OpenGL seems to work just fine for everything from quake to softimage. There is no good technical reason for the existence of D3D.

I want to know how he got “video out” working from his iPhone. So far, Steve Jobs is the only other person I’ve seen that is able to get video out of his iPhone like this. And I mean more than just the video from the iPod and YouTube apps. Being able to play games and show the UI on a big screen would be amazing.
