Former id Software designer John Romero indicated
earlier this year he still has plans to design a first-person shooter, and now
Eurogamer has word from the Loot Drop CEO this will probably be a PC-first "MMO-ish" persistent world game, though this is not anywhere near development at this point. "Yes, I'm definitely going to be making another shooter and it will be on PC first," he tells them. It's a persistent game, it has persistent player data, the character grows and gets better over time. I think most gamers expect that now anyway, but this was a design I'd done a while ago. I think it's pretty valid. "You will be playing the game as you would expect a shooter to feel, but the specifics of your situation, narrative wrapper and reward system are all unique. I wouldn't want to give out any specifics until I'm close to shipping it. I've learned my lesson about talking too soon about specific game features and release dates."

I don't know if I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the guy. Because every time he makes any kind of news headlines the "make you his bitch" is just not ever going to go away, at least not for several more decades.
And wasn't ION Storm(does it still exist?) just focused on iOS games? Might just be more profitable for them to just stick to doing that...instead of a big budget PC title. |
