Related Topics – Interview, Quake 3 Arena

id programmer Robert Duffy is interviewed on Stomped. JCal asks Robert about working with Carmack and the others, QERadiant, Q3: Team Arena and of course, Doom.

Stomped: What's the most exciting aspect on working for a new Doom game, as a game fan and as a programmer?

Duffy: Probably as a game fan more than anything, because the new Doom is just like . . . (pauses). The original Doom was one of those jaw-dropping games that kind of redefined the genre and I'm looking forward to trying to be a part of something that, hopefully, will meet everybody's expectations. I know that impossible to meet everybody's expectations but we can try pretty hard.

Well, the Romero does know what he is doing. Deux Ex was pretty kickass.. it just wasn't my type of game (rpgish). Daikatana sort of became a side project for Ion Storm because it was taking so long.

He still has the potential to make something good.
