Oh goodie.
It better not become a FPS.
Seriously.

What a staggering mindblowing orignal idea, I''m sure he couldn''t make it any worse ...
oh wait ...
End of line
Did I miss it when he actually did so the first time? Or is he just gonna say he''ll make us all his bitch again?

You know, I have faith, i believe in the guy. He has greatness. His problem at Ion Storm is that he''s not much of a manager, but he can sure recognize what''s fun.
Wait and see I guess.

What greatness does this guy posses? REALLY NOW. I can''t think of anything. He''s a BS artist that rode in on the coattails of John Carmack.
The guy is full of sh!t in my eyes. Could someone please tell me his accomplishments so I understand why I keep seeing his name in the news every time he farts a certain way.

I started my own blog so when I feel the need to make an ass out of myself, I won't have as far to go.
Ridlin: Read ""Masters of Doom"", and gain a newfound appreciation of the ""BS artist""... he''s got quite a bit more skill than just doing art.

Okay, so he''s an artist. I thought he was a game designer. I read all the free chapters they put up at GameSpy and don''t remember them mentioning anything he DID.
So artist. Okay, in doom. Any others?

There's nothing else on earth that entwines art and science so closely.
Really. I''m not trying to be patranizing or proove anything. I honestly want to know.

What''s wrong with doing game art? I wish I had talent of that sort. Or any sort, come to think.
Well, he was responsible for a large part of Quake. Really, I''m not arguing for his side, I just think we should hold judgement - he seems like the typical case of ""Artist put in charge of business"" failure. Also, he will probably collaborate with the bald headed creator of the Dopefish, Tom hall
Anyone tried his Space delivery boy game?

He also designed a lot of the levels for Doom, Doom II, & Quake along with coding on the Doom games.

I didn''t know he was involved with Quake. That''s a little better.
And don''t think I''m not impressed by art. I consider myself a very creative person - who always wished he could draw.
So art in doom, a little in quake.
Any other games?
Just not that impressed.

I don''t think he did any art Ridlin. At least I''ve never seen him credited with that. I''ve always seen his name attached to design and programming. Unless you''re considering design art? Which I guess it is.

He''s responsible for a large number of the better maps in Quake. DM6, how I loved thee. And the Dismal Oubliette, which was a highly underrated level, among many others. I''m sure he''s had a major hand in creating/refining the standard FPS weapons.

You knowwhat, you guys don''t know what he did.
1 art - no.
2 programming - I know for a fact - no.
3. designed a few levels. - okay.
He''s famous for being around when ID became super famous. He''s famous for being in the right place at the right time. Whenever the press went to talk to ID, they always ended up talking to him, so a lot of it got attributed to him, but he really doesn''t have any talent of his own.
He just talks a lot.
Lucky ass

It took a bit of digging but I found that John Romero''s first programming job was at Origin Systems in 1987.
John Romero is also credited as a programmer in the credits screen on original Doom.

Okay. Wrong on the programming, but don''t you find it a little suspisous that the guy hasn''t done anything since Carmack and him went seperate ways?

Well he did do Daikatana after he split with id.

Not really. Carmack still has the company and supporting cast that the original id crew formed. Putting that together elsewhere without the input from the rest of id wouldn''t be easy.
With all that said, I''m not sure Romero''s lofty opinion of himself is entirely justified.
Himself, right?

I didn''t realize the Romero was that bussomy.

If I was him, I''d do a full plastic surgery (keep hair and become a woman, or shave it of and remain a dude), change my name (to Bob or Suzan), and move to some remote counry side and breed chicken or something.
There is no way for him to succeed ever again in electronics entertainment industry. And all of that ovly because his was a loudmouth. Daikatana was terrible flop, but he singlehandedly (or, better, ""singletonguedly) made it legendary. Yeah, biotch.
