http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-05-john-romero-details-plans-for-mmo-ish-pc-shooter
Edited down version of the article:
| Quote: | "Yes, I'm definitely going to be making another shooter and it will be on PC first," he explained.
Romero didn't go into much more detail but added that it'll be "MMO-ish" and will offer a new twist on genre traditions.
"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."
It's not going to be an old-school shooter - it won't be pixelated. But it will probably have some faster movement than most games have right now."
Romero also offered his take on how the genre has evolved since his time at id Software. While he appreciates that Gears of War is a quality product, he's not a fan of the shift towards slower, cover-based gameplay.
"I'm not a fan of cover systems or the player being a bullet sponge. I'm not that interested in the tank-like player; I like feeling that I have skill in the game," he explained, before theorising that the rise of the console game pad has pushed developers in that direction out of necessity.
"I do realise that a lot of the movement in new shooters is directly attributable to the console controller because you can't play well and fast with them so they had to come up with some design to make it so the player can do something else if they can't skillfully move quickly. They have to do something different.
"But I'm a PC mouse and keyboard type player," he countered.
"I love twitch 180s, fast targeting, fast firing, fast movement. So anything that's not like that - like current shooters that are basically a track going through a level to the exit and everything is closed off - is not interesting to me.
"I like to explore my levels, y'know? So I'm not a fan of on-rail shooting or slow-moving cover systems. That's not to say that Gears isn't a great game but as a player I'm more interested in speed and fast movement." |
As a reminder a year ago he said he's done with hardcore gaming and it's about time he concentrates on making games for the facebook generation: http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1434320#1434320
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

He said almost all the right things we've been saying for the past 10y, i just don't think he's the right person to do a proper game anymore, let's hope he proves me wrong.

raven shield or swat4 were the last games i remember that had properly open ended levels
and thief 4 is my last hope for the future
i don't much have hope for it in straight shooters
it's just so expensive to build non-essential world geometry these days
wish they would sort of abandon the worship of unique art and do some prefabing in levels
look at the skyrim editor.. easy to build dungeons, yet most are a linear pipe.
something similar for interiors

He should have went all kickstarter and used the tagline
You're about to make John Romero your bitch.
