Romero hints at old-school FPS plans
by Steve Watts, Mar 13, 2012 10:30am PDTShooter pioneer and hair enthusiast John Romero has been laying low lately, but he's hinted at plans to get back into first-person shooter development. His single vague comment didn't shed much light on what this mystery project is, but we certainly know what it isn't.
A fan and indie developer asked on Twitter if Romero has called it quits on the old-school FPS, also directing the question at George Broussard. Romero tweeted in reply, "Definitely not! I have plans..." He followed up roughly a half-hour later, claiming, "There will be no DK2!"
Whatever his FPS plans, it will mark a return after a full decade away from the genre. We've seen rapid advances in the genre as its popularity has exploded, so we have to wonder just how "old-school" Romero plans to make his, and how that will be accepted by a modern audience.
