Romero's Next Game
by Steve Gibson, May 19, 2000 4:18pm PDTA new Ion Storm Daily Informant is up and has word from John Romero on his next game. As many of you probably recall a story ran a story a little while ago (and followup) with some quotes from John. Here is his reply:
"I definitely did not confirm in any way what my next game will be like. Every game I've developed over the last couple decades has been based in some way on the previous game I developed because I always use my last game as a baseline for design features on the next one. The fact that I enjoy playing through a game with sidekicks could mean that I will have sidekicks, in some form, in my next game... possibly. At this point, the design of my next title is not solid enough to give out *any* information on, nor will I be divulging information about it until it's time.

The Romero actually made a game, have you? He has phat skills and you're just jealous. I order my copy of Daikatana 6 months ago, and i'm actually gonna try to play through it.
Let's see, he worked on Quake, and while his code isn't quite as tight as the Carmack's brilliant C, it's there, he helped work on one of the most legendary titles to ever hit the PC. So, he's not at id software anymore, unless your name is Carmack, you don't want to spend forever at the greatest game house in the universe, you gotta move on.
If you're over 8, you may remember what came before Quake, let's see, what was that called, oh yea, DOOM II! Well, who wrote DoomEd, hmmm...that would be THE ROMERO. and who hand designed some of the toughest freaking levels ever with DoomEd, gee, again THE ROMERO. And What was before Doom? Wolf3D, again he contributed to that. And before that, like 12 dozen Apple II titles he cranked out in assembly language. Jeez, the guy is skilled, give him some credit, and cut him some slack (if any more slack is possible).
So yeah, Daikatana kicks ass, in comparison to anything i've ever made with a computer and that probably goes for you also. And while I'm at it, SiN rocks! 8)
I predict 2.5 years for his next title, and it will kick much ass.

For me to SPOOGE on! timmAH!!
Some may say it is easier to use ones self control to ignore items about Romero and ION, but it's not. Once I notice a item on either subject it becomes open season. I yet to master this kind of self control. I will attempt not to slack Romero in this thread. I made it this far, I'm doing good.
I will attempt to change the subject, to avoid a Romero insult. So how about them Dodgers? Damn I think I'm cured!! I think I will give the Diakatana demo a anoth...
ROMERO SMOKES POLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh fuck...
