After many years and many F2P mobile games John Romero is back to business! This can be good news up to a point, if they are going to work on some good'ol school FPS. But we don't have any info about the game ATM. I just hope he learned his lesson about hype though :) Not really sure if he can handle a second Daikatana case.
Of course there is always the chance in can be another
:popamole:



BTW he really looks like a fat John Travolta in that picture...

He, Warren Spector, Peter Molyfoux and some other guys should team up and create "The League of No-longer Competent Developers".

What happend to his last bitch btw? I remember when he was still hailed as the new messias, he got pwn'd by some girl playing quake and he made her his bitch by promising her fame and riches through daikatana. Since she was easy on the eyes, the press also proclaimed her the next star of videogaming. After daikatana they changed to "what has she even contributed to that game anyway?" and she disappeared.

Arena shooter? More like linear shooter with dead-brain average gamers to escort for the whole levels.

Romero needs Carmack on the team. After all, he is working for facebook now.

The same advertisement of wimmins still holds very true today, only today we don't call them "bitch" or "videogame star" anymore, but Community manager or Associate Producer.

Technically his "last bitch" is Brenda Brathwaite. His last failed "bitch" was his Romanian hottie.

So, from the little I know poor Romero has three failed marriages under his belt. If we are to trust his Wikipedia account, of course:

Kelly Mitchell from 1987-1990
Elizabeth McCall from 1993-1999
Raluca Alexandra Pleşca from 2004-2010

If you mean Stevie Case ( she lived with the man between 1999-2003), she did nothing important, bar being a nice face and failing to get her Playboy photoshoot published. She kept working on low-key projects afterwards. I would be interested in knowing which levels of Daikatana she "designed", if that's even true.

Poor Romero. Shit luck even with women. But maybe a collection of failed and broken marriages it's the standard for the 'mericans of his social class. Who knows. God, I feel like a gossiping old lady now.

A man's hair is a man's pride.

But to be honest, getting into 3D after so many years will require him to re-learn a lot of things.
Theres so much stuff going on with the whole Unity thing, i wouldn't be surprised if he decided to use it.

I remember that issue and those photos! Top 25 developers of all time or something like that. Damn it, I should have kept those PC Gamer back issues.

I remember this issue. I still have all my old PC Gamer issues.

The old generation pictures are from a time when developers were actually intelligent computer engineers instead of useless hipsters.

Before they became super ego celebrities as well. I think no one has the power to get half of these guys today to find a gap in their agenda and sit together in a room.
