Technician Posted March 12, 2012 *crackle* Cheeks parted, awaiting insertion. Over. *crackle* EDIT: Wouldn't it be great if he made the next awesome FPS and made Sodaholic look stupider? 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted March 12, 2012 Yeah yeah it's all shits 'n giggles until someone realizes that for every pitcher, there must also be a catcher. Sucking it down included. 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted March 12, 2012 I think the game's slogan should be: "Romero is going to make you his bitch. This time, he means it." :P Technician said:...and made Sodaholic look stupider? OH C'MON, HIS POSTS AREN'T THAT BAD! SERIOUSLY! 0 Share this post Link to post
imp1979 Posted March 12, 2012 Maybe he's secretely a lead level designer for Doom 4. I think that would help juice the hype machine for the game. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiTROACTiVE Posted March 13, 2012 So John Romero, the guy who created Doom (I'm very sure he did), is going to make another classic FPS? That's pretty cool and I can't wait to see what the new classic FPS is! Also, let's hope it won't be bad like Daikatana. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted March 13, 2012 Maybe he's gonna make the DLC for XBox 360 Doom II that has never been released so far :P :P :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted March 13, 2012 Technician said:EDIT: Wouldn't it be great if he made the next awesome FPS and made Sodaholic look stupider? The point of my thread was just to point out that he really hasn't done anything good past Doom. I wasn't at all saying that he's incapable of making something awesome again, just that he hasn't yet. I wonder when we can start hearing about his new FPS project? 0 Share this post Link to post
Krispy Posted March 13, 2012 It's all cutscenes. It's like a movie that maxes out your cpu. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted March 13, 2012 Having plans is one thing. Getting around to put them into action is an other. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted March 13, 2012 Well, just as i expected, if John Romero even considers announcing to the public that he's gonna make a game, every single person who knows who John Romero is will be quick to say Daikatana this, and Daikatana that. That said, he's been in a long hiatus with doing anything real special so I have a pretty good bit of faith in him. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted March 13, 2012 After reading the thread then looking at the article, yeah, I'm a bit surprised at the lack of anything actually happening. He doesn't really say anything that amounts to more than just " I'm tossing around some ideas here and there." Erm, wait. That didn't come out right. Hoooooolllyyy shiiiiieeeet, JOHN ROMERO IS BACK. Surely this is going to be the greatest moment of gaming history as he comes back to single-handedly save the decaying games industry from the depths of monotony and stuff. Truly this is an announcement to be heralded for generations to come or some such. Much better. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Jodwin Posted March 13, 2012 printz said:Having it planned is still a step. I just thought that I should make a game where you go around shooting monsters with a gun and it'll be portrayed through the protagonist eyes. There, I now have plans for making an FPS game. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiTROACTiVE Posted March 13, 2012 Pavera said:Crossing fingers for daikatana 2. The article said this: He has plans! But not, to be clear, for a sequel to Daikatana. "There will be no DK2!" he added. If you were joking, then my bad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted March 13, 2012 I have long hoped to see John rise from the ashes and put out another game that will be remembered for a long time. He's a good guy and deserves to see something go right again. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted March 13, 2012 There will be no Daikatana 2 because it'll be called Ōtō instead. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted March 13, 2012 I think he wants to try making a new AAA game, but I don't think he wants to be associated with that old meme he (or his marketing team) started during Daikatana's development. 0 Share this post Link to post
