That Severity has still some chances of being "good", which if it does, it could probably mean the end of the Ion Storm curse, :P

Elven65696d ago

The site was hacked, it's being worked on.

Oddly enough, Romero isn't even Asian. Someone must have been confused by that picture.

Anyway, we already know that Romero is a douche.

Yeah, just a douche that co-created Doom, which jump-started the FPS genre. Without Doom, there might not have been a Quake, a GoldenEye 007, a Perfect Dark, a TimeSplitters, a Half-Life, an Unreal Tournament, a Halo, etc.

Know your roots.

The Lazy One5696d ago

but that doesn't make him less of a douche.

also, lol @ jump beyond. I like that.

Drano5695d ago

Being good at making games (ten years ago) can't prevent him from being a self-indulgent douche... Well, that's my point of view anyway.

Jump Beyond.

Skizelli5695d ago

I didn't say it made him any less of a douche, but have a little respect.

Drano5695d ago

But the anynomity of the Internet makes stupidity so appealing...

Jump Beyond.

The Lazy One5695d ago

He's a douche. Why should he not call it like it is? I have the utmost respect for what he made, but that doesn't forgive him being a douche.

Skizelli5695d ago

And you don't think that calling someone a douche on the internet makes you a douche as well?

The Lazy One5695d ago

just honest. being a douche on the internet makes you a douche.

ExclusivelyGames.com writes:

''Long before Star Wars Battlefront II or Fallout 76 were courting controversy, there was one game that had the gaming press throwing their hands in the air out of frustration. That game was John Romero’s Daikatana (Ion Storm, 2000).''

I wish Zenimax and Bethesda would allow him to make a new Commander Keen, because he has said how he wants to make a new game.

I so would enjoy seeing John making games again, them not just being games for your phone and what he could think up next.

MWH2157d ago

I agree, id's most fun and innovative times were when he was there.

BlackIceJoe2157d ago

Well said, John was and still is a legend, but I wish he was still as influential as he was in the past, because a lot of people could learn a lot from him and it would be great to see what new IP he could bring to the world these days.

franwex2157d ago

Nah, you can hang on to them John.
