Romero Departs Midway [Jul 13, 2005, 10:29 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post to the
ROME.RO Forums (thanks Rob) from John Romero himself confirms rumors that
the former id Software and ION Storm designer is
no longer with Midway Entertainment. The reports first surfaced on
Computer Games Magazine
yesterday, and we contacted The Romero for a
response to the rumors, which he chose to address in the forums:
Hey guys, I can definitely confirm that I have left Midway - I've been gone for about 3 weeks and Rhaluka and I have been traveling around and having fun together (a sort of honeymoon without going to tropical destinations).
Midway says that development of Gauntlet hasn't been impacted by my departure and is scheduled to ship this fall. I can't say anything more about the situation and hope you all understand. (smile)
I'm currently looking at lots of exciting developments right now and it'll be a couple months before I can announce my next destination.
I'm pretty sure I think I speak for most males when I say I hope I can pull hot chicks like that @ 37.
The Ion Storm fiasco aside, his BSP and Map design skills are unchallenged by very few. He may not have made a great director, but he sure could make a good dm map. I'm surprised he hasn't returned to the field, he obviously loves mapping, and most game art college trained kids these days shit their pants if they have to tackle something like Hammer, and those who know what they are doing get snapped up pretty quick from the mod community. The amount of people who can model in brushes and make a good fun map, is a much lower proportion to people who can knock out a decent character mesh. Give me more DM6 john.
