John Romero On Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows

[mister_slim]

Computer And Video Games (http://www.computerandvideogames.com) has an interview (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/news_story.php(que)id=118143) with John Romero up. Romero talks about Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (PS2/Xbox) including the online and co-op play.
Are you attracted to one next-gen console in particular? Which one and why?

John Romero: Not yet. With the current gen, I'm an Xbox guy and thanks to Resident Evil 4, I'm really liking my GameCube. But really, it doesn't matter to me which next-gen console is better because I'm going to have them all and buy games on them all. Whichever one turns out to be the best is the one I'll buy most of the games for. Right now, if a game is on the PS2 and Xbox, I'll get the Xbox version. If it's an FPS like Ghost Recon 2, I'll wait for the PC version and ignore the console versions.
You can start on the "John Romero will make you..." jokes now.

...his bitch! Done.

[Redline]

Are people -still- doing that 'joke'? :)

[Savok]

... Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows for PS2 and Xbox, apparently

[Deadend]

Well, I am hoping Gauntlet will be good, so I can do co-op.

I would also think tings would be nice if we all stoped getting on Romero's ass about Daitinka, it was a disapointing game that was years behind the curve and cost too much money.

[T-Dawg]

John Romero will make me....LUNCH!

What? I'm hungry.

[mattwier]

I thought his next production was going to be called
John Romero Presents: John Romero's John Romero A John Romero Production

[see colon]

If it's an FPS like Ghost Recon 2,
GR2 is 3rd person.

[Touy]

Actually it's both, you can toggle between the two.

[trip1eX]

GR2 got canceled for pc too.

[Deadend]

But it would have been better on PC.

[if76]

It's nice that even though he's developing for PS2 he's being honest instead of political. Of course the xbox version will be better and I'm glad he's admitting this.

[jeffool]

GR2 got canceled for pc too.
Huh. So I guess he's not buying it...

[Imelman]

hmmm.... I wonder if Penny Arcade will say anything about this

[dr_qwandry]

Didn't Romero start up ION Storm?
if so then he's my god for making Anachronox.

[ElectricMonk]

i think anachranox was tom hall

good game, but it was chopped in half and you could tell

[Thenetcase]

John Romero needs to deliver on stuff he talks about.

I think Tom Hall is also at Midway. Working on NARC and Area 51, if I remember correctly.

[TrackZero]

John Romero needs to deliver on stuff he talks about.

True enough. But I can't stay mad at the man I learned how to rocket jump from. Plus, his ego is pure entertainment for the whole industry.

[Beelzebud]

John Romero is John Romero in: John Romero. A John Romero Production. Directed, written, produced, and starring: John Romero.

This message has been brought to you by John Romero, for the John Romero Foundation.

I scrounged a bit but I can't seem to find a link to it anymore. Sorry :D
