It's nice to see hype machines at work. Most previews these days serve no other purpose. <a href="http://www.Gamers.com">Gamers</a> plays their part with this <a href="http://www.gamers.com/index.html?run=news&news_id=3870">preview</a> pretty well but could do better considering they mentioned Romero only twice and forgot about Sawyer. Here's a bit:<blockquote> It follows so much of the tradition that the series is known for, but is going through some dramatic overhauls in other areas, with the assistance of John Romero, a famed PC game producer who worked on such classics as Doom and Daikatana, among others.</blockquote> Yeah, Doom is a classic, But Daikatana? I guess that's a classic as well, just making a totally different hall of fame.

That's madness, how can they possibly claim it's a classic? That it's infamous for being bad is about the best you could say about it.

The state of insanity.
That's what they meant though. See, Doom is a classic innovator while Daikatana is a classic blunder. They just wanted to cover both ends of the spectrum, but forgot to clarify some things. Yeah, that's it. :roll:

Here instead of playing an RPG.
Robert Workman at Gamers said:
This adds kind of an RPG tag to the franchise, but without the tedious "wait your turn"-style gameplay that some people just can't get into.
