John Carmack has resigned from id. He wants to focus working on the Oculus VR headset.

Carmack appears to have mentally checked out of id when he started getting into space stuff - quite some time ago.

You can't be the lead programmer / architect of a leading engine provider and also be all about sending rockets into space and also be all about 3D goggles. There's just not enough time in the day, even for someone like Carmack. And it shows - id has become pretty irrelevant both as a game developer and engine provider.

I'm thinking mid-2015 on a PS4 for me.  75% of the games on my radar are PS3 and PC still, so I simply don't have the need for the new tech.  I figure that will put me into the second generation of PS4s which historically draw a bit less power and may have more storage.  Plus, there should be a few $20 greatest hits titles by then.

I don't really see the need until they pretty much pry my Xbox360 from my cold dead hands. Nothing on console excites me any longer, I have a backlog of console games to play, I can find other ways to do Netflix. The kids mostly play Super Smash Brawl when friends are over. I don't see a damn thing in the new gen stuff that says, "Man, I'm gonna need that."

Sky is probably playing that woodcutter simulator as we speak.  So that one at least has an audience.

But airport simulator?  Doesn't everybody hate airports?

Here's some other ideas for sim games, just off the top of my head, because apparently that's how this works:

- Colonoscopy Simulator 2013
- Root Canal Sim 2
- Prison Shower Encounters Online
- Sim Slut 4000
- Candy Van Stories

Besides heavy machinery like cutter, feller buncher and puller the player can finally simply use a chainsaw for working in the woods. With all this, the Woodcutter Simulator 2013 offers the players a great feeling.

I've never understood the appeal of Pokemon games, but their new service is really cool.  For $5/yr you can have an online bank to dump any pokemon from Black/White, Black2/White2 and X/Y.  It will save up to 3000 pokemon.  Then you can install the new pokemon transporter app to bring the B/W pokemon into X/Y. 

The potential for these tools is amazing.  Imagine having the same pokemon for many future game iterations; that's awesome!

You've always been able to transfer your Pokemon up from one generation to another; if one had all of the games and systems I believe you can go all the way from the originals up to X/Y (you'd need the new transport thing to make the jump from B/W to X/Y). It is pretty cool that it's online, provided that all future games have access to it; at the least it'll make the process easier.

That's pretty cool; I didn't realize the games allowed for that.  They became popular in a brief 5-yr period that I wasn't playing games at all.

It's required some shenanigans, system wise, to pull off but it's a very cool feature. You needed a DS Original or Lite, for example, to go from the GBA ones to the DS ones because those systems could hold both cartridges.
