Don't be harsh to Romero guys...( I'm not saying you guys were being harsh though...), That man is smart and passionate toward making games. All he needs is some more skills of team management, and some right time. I support him.

What is sad is that i have actually played daikatana.....
man it was so bad that i couldnt even make fun of it. Seriously it was that bad i have little faith in Romero. If he knows so much about games and such, he should have seen daikatana flopping. I mean dont they even play their own games?

Daikatana is a gret game on its own... if all the bugs are fixed. The texture looked like shit because they didn't have a good graphic engine, and they switched to Quake II when Carmack had already started to make Quake III. By the time they finished cnverting, all titles in the market had took full advantage of Quake II and did better jobs, and some even started using Quake III already.
When Romero founded Ion Storm, he put "gameplay" in front of everything else. But he totally ignored that good technology is essential to present your ideas. The reason he did well with DOOM was because Id has Carmack to back up his technology part. In Ion Storm he had nothing but a crack team who knew no each other and must finish three games of different genres in 7 months. Of course he fucking flipped.

He has been doing something. Ever heard of Monkeystone games? Don't worry, he's just a programmer there. Stevie Case is like VP and Tom Hall is President of the company. They make handheld, PDA and Cellphone games and they are actually good mainly because Tom Hall designs them. Hyperspace Delivery Boy was pretty fun.
