BluePineapple72 Posted March 30, 2016 https://mobile.twitter.com/Nightworkgames So it appears that John Romero and his wife have started a new company, they are rumored to reveal a new FPS soon 0 Share this post Link to post
Chezza Posted March 30, 2016 Interesting. Will it follow the spirit of Doom or go an entirely new design? Time will tell. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xerge Posted March 30, 2016 He should remake Daikatana, I liked the concept. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted March 30, 2016 They should upload their website before linking to it. Vague landing pages are acceptable (and previously used by Slipgate Ironworks), but GoDaddy domain parking pages are just n00bish. It is interesting news, however. 0 Share this post Link to post
ClumsyCryptid Posted March 30, 2016 Xerge said:He should remake Daikatana, I liked the concept. Ah.. Daikatana. I'm going to cruise around that game sometime soon after I find the disc. The concepts in Daikatana could work in the current industry if you remove the limited saves, and the sidekick escorts. 0 Share this post Link to post
antares031 Posted March 30, 2016 What good news! I can't wait to see more first person shooters developed by John Romero. 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted March 30, 2016 1- Is it mod-friendly? 2- Is it linear, non-linear, sandbox, etc? 3- Please tell us its not being some Doom clone. What exactly could this FPS be like? Like Doom 2016?(I wonder what Romero thinks of it...) This is damn awesome news. If Romero can make that e1m8b wad after 20 YEARS, and still be awesome, who knows what a whole FPS will be like? 0 Share this post Link to post

Tetzlaff Posted March 30, 2016 Has John Romero released any game after Daikatana? 0 Share this post Link to post

antares031 Posted March 30, 2016 printz said:Will they continue to have a status bar with your face and taunting exit messages? I bet they will. Not to mention that it will have awesome multiplayer environment, ludicrous gibs, and funny easter eggs, including developer's severed head inside of the final boss. I hope. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted March 30, 2016 Hopefully his Wife can keep him in line enough to make the best out of his creativity while preventing it from becoming a disaster like (ugh, hate to go there) Daikatana. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted March 30, 2016 Good luck, John. Make whatever you want and enjoy it. 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted March 30, 2016 Ah, so the missis is involved too... nice. Looking forward to see what they have in store. 0 Share this post Link to post
Li'l devil Posted March 30, 2016 I'm really looking forward to their new game's advertisement campaign. It'll probably be like "John Romero still wants to make you his bitch!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Arctangent Posted March 30, 2016 Preliatus said:and the sidekick escorts. To be honest, Left 4 Dead has shown that AI partners can work perfectly fine in an FPS. Feels like it'd be more important to remove the fact that basically every weapon is more of a threat to you than your enemies. 0 Share this post Link to post

If you want to take a look at how that would look like in modern games check out Neon Shadow, it's a fps for mobile devices. 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted March 30, 2016 Alright, go John! Definitely looking forward to seeing what comes out of this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted March 30, 2016 This is interesting news. Lets hope this turns out to be some cool shit. 0 Share this post Link to post
MrGlide Posted March 31, 2016 yall didn't know this? he hinted at it during the tech gone bad release. he posted pictures on face book quite some time ago. I think it will be similer to doom as he said tech gone bad was a warm up. I can't wait, I really do love johns game design. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted March 31, 2016 That form is extremely hard to read. Now if only there was a form for me to complain about the horrible choice of font for the original form. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kontra Kommando Posted March 31, 2016 Cool, let's see if he can bring those old-school developer sensibilities, to a contemporary video game. 0 Share this post Link to post
