Darkman 4 Posted March 13, 2012 I'm hoping he does something with a small, indie-sized group. I can't imagine him trying to work with a modern day development team, where things are a lot more structured and ideas tend to get blown off if they aren't something that'll definitely make the game more profitable in the short term. 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted March 14, 2012 printz said: I think he wants to try making a new AAA game, Oh, is that an FPS with lots of car scenes, an FPS where you're a right-wing paramilitary, or is it one that takes place in a recent financial crisis? 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkman 4 Posted March 15, 2012 With how popular kickstarters are these days among game design veterans, I wouldn't be surprised to see Romero using one to get funds for a potential old school FPS made by him. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiTROACTiVE Posted March 15, 2012 So if John Romero has plans for a new FPS, then I wonder how long we'll have to wait for the game to be made and developed until it's released? 0 Share this post Link to post

He still needs to find a developer to fund his game. He may go indy and start his own team, but he needs money invested from somewhere. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiTROACTiVE Posted March 16, 2012 After hearing about this, I wonder what the new FPS will be about? Will it be about demons or terroists? Also, I woder where it will take place? I also wonder how many levels there will be? 0 Share this post Link to post

geo Posted March 29, 2012 After someone introduced me to Daikatana on this forum... the Game Boy Color version of Daikatana is awesome like a speedy Zelda on crack. Anyway... John Romero needs to work on a successful game again before he goes making his own. I don't know though. Is there really any room for a new FPS? 0 Share this post Link to post
DooM_RO Posted March 31, 2012 It would be cool if he used the Doom engine with Zdoom features.I'd also like to see very smooth sprites(more than 4 frames per animation) and high resolution textures. 0 Share this post Link to post

Actually, geo has been around longer than Sodaholic, though I can concur, it can be hard to discern between the two at times (and I put Hellbent in the brew, too). It surprises me that these accounts are not exactly newbies (2005 and 2007, accordingly), yet they both seem to have remained mostly dormant and only received a massive "boost" in usage in the last year or so. The first posts from both accounts are totally different in style and tone....it's almost as if somebody passed, in both cases, the account to his little brother or not-so-bright buddy. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's true that writing style changes as people change/mature/gain writing skill/etc, but I wouldn't chalk that up as a significant factor in the case of geo. My soberest appraisal of the situation with him is that some people post to either raise their post count or to "hear themselves speak," if you follow what I mean. The evidence I am using to reach that appraisal is that almost every one of his posts I have seen are either largely inaccurate, or profoundly out-of-touch with the subject he's attempting to comment on. There's often a grain of hyperbole in them that I guess is intended to mark his self-perceived wisdom or experience. In the end, anyone who has any sort of real expertise on whatever issue he's commenting on is easily able to rip him apart. Even his opinions, by their nature subjective, are easy to ridicule.
