Romero's new game is pretty much dead. he's failed to make us his bitch for the third time.

Hope some publisher swoops in and saves the game. I was looking forward to it after playing his modern Doom wads

Should have focused on making new rendering tech instead of falling for memes like vr

He could just publish it by himself

>b*sky

GO WOKE

Sad, hopefully he can find a new publisher

>>714366894
>just pay +20 people their wage which is probably around 3-6k$ per month

4chan is so retarded underage lol

Remember that time he announced a kickstarted for a game and then shut it down like a week later when it became clear that his name alone wasn't going to get him funded?

Still failing since Daikatana? Does this guy like to feel humiliated in public?

>>714367042
He can afford it. Clearly he doesn't have trust in his own product. Also you can always downside. They didn't need publisher before. Actually that's main reason why they became super rich in the first place. Publisher didn't take all the money from doom and quake, because they were self publishing.

>>714367514
>He can afford it.
obviously, he can't afford to pay 11-50 employees.

lmao

>>714366739 (OP)
He tried to make paid Doom mods into a thing. Fuck that sellout!

>>714367514
Using your own personal money straight out of your pocket to run your business is almost always a retarded even if the business idea is good.

>>714367514
He paid two Ion Storm worth of employees back then and Deus Ex was selling good enough to turn a profit.
Now he couldn't?

This guy is rich and he's just too greedy to spend a fraction of his own millions to make a game
Remember the fucking Kickstarter he did? it hit the goal in a few days but because it didn't rocket past it into the 5$M range he threw a tantrum and deleted

I watched that stream. I always assumed he would be one of those speedrunning type of players. Turns out he's actually one of those corner hugging secret hunting type of FPS players instead.

>>714368749
>speedrunning type of players
no game dev plays like this. you need a special type of autism for that.

>>714368817
>no game dev plays like this.
Speedrun parkour games are a whole new genre of FPS, what do you mean?

How did this guy go from starting his own company and making genre defining games to being cucked by suits "well above his visibility and control"? Sad.

>>714366739 (OP)
He is too busy washing his hair and doing his nails

>>714367128
Hey now, he shut it down so he could get a demo ready which he totally did don't look into it

>>714368625
He's quite possibly the biggest FPS developer of all time. Seriously, he's huge! why is he so fucking fat??

>>714368625
He's that bad because he STILL uses the fucking arrow keys to aim like a complete boomer. He already had stopped working on FPS games by the time mouselook became the norm.

>>714366739 (OP)
I just feel bad for him at this point

I think it's ironic that all the og id guys who wanted to make games got fucked by the industry and John Carmack who was just an autist who wanted to work on cutting edge tech got what he wanted.

Is the gaming crash happening right now? It seems like something big is happening

>>714370028
>John Carmack who was just an autist who wanted to work on cutting edge tech got what he wanted
Which was?
Fake working for a dead platform (vr)?

>gaming crash
I wish but it's too big to crumble

>>714366967
Why would Microsoft do this? SONY is still wasting billions on GAAS crap no one wants, while Xbox is cancelling sure-fire hits that would appeal to their core audience? Do they WANT to lose?

They're all bitches, eh?

The western woke AAA crash is happening yeah, everyone else is good.

Gaming is so massive that some dozens or even hundred developers going under right now would not do much.

>>714366739 (OP)
>AAAAAAAAAAACCCKKKK
another one bites the dust

>>714370293
And has achieved what?

>>714370465
He is trying to make the singularity real.

>>714370465
what have you achieved?

I'm still upset over Empire of Sin.

>>714370028
It really shows too, Carmack was always gifted in technical competence but the games where he had more creative sway were various degrees of soulless, culminating with soullessness of Rage.

>>714370542
I'm not the one who keeps bragging about my achievements from 30 years ago and pretending I'm Jimmy Neutron.

>>714370119
Nah, it would be funnier if it happened at the same time as Embracer's corporate suicide but this just a "gaming crash" in the sense that Microsoft owns a ridiculous amount of gaming studios and now they are killing every single one of them (even Forza's studio got fucked) because Phil is on his way out and he wants that golden parachute.
Meanwhile, Bethesda in intact and Zenimax Online was forced to go back to the Elder Scrolls mines).

>>714370358
What was woke about this game?

>>714370889
I dont know, but its collateral as this is MS crashing out because of 10 years of wokeshit

i applied for a job at that company in april of last year and i got a rejection email 8 MONTHS later.

>>714366739 (OP)
I keep forgetting John Romero exists. I saw the name Romero games and my mind just went "George Romero started a game company?".

>>714370934
What was woke about Xbox? The worst I can think of would be Hellblade, which can't even remotely hold a candle to Hyenas or Concord.

>>714366894
>Thinks he has Doom money
LMAO.

You're too young to remember this, but: He was one of the co-founders of Ion Storm, his studio (in Texas) made Daikatana, it flopped and burned his Doom money.

>>714366739 (OP)
Not a surprise given "Empire of Sin" was advertised by PC Gamer massively (cover article in their physical mags, even!) in 2020 and... that flopped/sold underwhelmingly for Paradox.

I think MS saw what they were doing and went "yeah, we don't want a EoS 2." Unfortunately for John, that's the nature of doing business with the AAA publishers.

>>714366739 (OP)
is he a wokie now? SAD

>>714366739 (OP)
did microsoft gave him money too? its too awfully casuality

>>714370889

That alone makes it woke

>>714367042
>20+
Fire half.

>>714370519
more like skynet or the cyberdemon

Since Doom, has he done anything else of note? Daikatana failing miserably doesn't count.

>>714366739 (OP)
>bluesky
he made himself a bitch?

>>714371120
Ion Storm released the massive hit Deus Ex at the same time and recouped that money.

>>714371031
>What was woke about Xbox?
why are you such a dishonest faggot

gamedevs are kinda bitches that got strokes of luck

What ever happened to his kickstarter shooteer

>>714371423
so thats why it was called deus ex KEK

>>714371434
>they had a pride event like every other company
Not a video game. Why would you even remember something so inconsequential? Joanna Dark's jawline would be a better answer and still not be anywhere near Concord levels. Now answer again using video games.

>>714370119
A crash will never happen again(and the first crash was just in America anyway) but we are getting a correction from the covid spending bloat

>>714371641
why are you such a dishonest faggot

>>714371753
At least you posted a video game this time.
But you're still posting a AA trifle that cost $20 million to make. Where's their Hyenas/Concord/Marathon equivalent?

So whatever happened to blackroom anyway?

>>714368898
yeah, made by autistic retards who cant into actual level design

>>714372342
The kickstarter failed and they didn't actually do any work beyond some vague design plans and concept art.

>>714371962
>Where's their Hyenas/Concord/Marathon equivalent?
Constantly getting canceled

>>714371962
>AA trifle that cost $20 million to make
it took over 7 years to make
made by a studio with 80 devs in canada
quick math says they spent over 50 million on just the devs salaries
add all the other dev costs and marketing and it's much closer to 100 million

Romero will forever be BTFO by the fact that Tom Hall & Sandy Peterson designed more and better Doom maps than him, and their maps were more responsible for the design language of the series going forward than his.
Hall/Peterson gave us all the gloomy cthulu influenced hell-corrupted techbases and castles and factories with interesting traps and encounters, meanwhile Romero was too busy adding extra decorative geometry to his 8th generic techbase/mine to make any maps that feel like hell is actually your enemy.
Romero's 40 year campaign of overrating his own mapmaking ability, and lots of entry level doom fans lapping up his bullshit, does not make any of this any less true.

>>714372520
Point to them. The worst I can find is Perfect Dark, which they wasted 7 years and tens of millions (but not billions like SONY) on. And all they had to show for it was a picture of a women with gigachad jaw.
>>714372910
And you're thinking of Perfect Dark, SoM didn't take that long or cost that much.

>>714366739 (OP)
John Romero is a failure in general

>>714369632
What? Romero did the original demo recordings for Doom, which clearly utilize mouse movement.

>>714371387
He had a part in the creation of Deus Ex. He actually made Sigil 1 and 2.

>>714373321
>South of Midnight was developed by Compulsion Games, the creators of We Happy Few and Contrast. It marks Compulsion's first game developed under Xbox Game Studios, following their acquisition by the company in 2018. The game was originally developed under the codename "Project Midnight". Details of the game first leaked via Windows Central in 2021
why are you such a dishonest faggot

The AAA's must fail, they needed to move their project to a AA publisher or find a way to release it indie.

>>714368625
So did he like DUSK or no?

dishonest dyscalculiar faggot

Romero became a commie and can't make anything cool anymore

>>714368749
reminds me of how doom turned from a regular paced fps into a supposedly super high speed speedrunning game because people watched autists on youtube play it really fast, leading to doom 2016 and onwards being what it is

>>714373251
>A mine is not Lovecraftian
You really can't understand themes beyond their surface level aesthetics can you.

>>714366739 (OP)
The Daikatana curse still lives on.

>>714374383
It's MAP26, and there are no lovecraft influences to be seen anywhere. Since it's not a techbase, it's Romero Map Type #2, "a bunch of elevated walkways, in a cave, surrounded by a nukage pit."

boomer devs, especially those that have been out of the game for a while, are all fucking garbage at designing games

this is why you see tons of projects from former blizzard devs failing left and right, they don't have the mojo anymore

design is a young man's game, mostly 20-40yo and after that you need to GTFO

I guarantee you there was no game to show. ALL these studios were taking Microsoft for a ride. Do nothing for 7 years while cashing in a weekly paycheck.

>>714368625
I watched him play ultrakill and he did alright. Can't expect a veteran game dev to play like an aderrall zoomer

>>714366739 (OP)
get fucked faggot romero kill yourself

>Romero is broke
>Myst devs are broke
>Will Wright is broke

Just give me Hellion and im good

>>714373427
he means mouselook as in up and down
people usually refer to looking up/down in the mouse in og doom as mouselook

>>714374237
Hugo martin fault with the retarded zoomer hardcore mindset that plagues current games

>>714374383
dont care if its a shit game its a shit game only achievement was becoming the cuck of 3d fps engines

>>714366894
How long would he need to work at the gas station to afford this

>>714366739 (OP)
Apparently the game is so good, it's not even worth posting in this thread about this game.
