With Daikatana, Romero failed big time and history might repeat itself. John Romero, one of the key figures behind Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, opened his studio called Romero Games a few years ago. Romero now announced that he’s working on a brand new FPS.

He said, „I don’t want to talk about it because it’s a cool idea, it’s a unique idea. I’ve never seen a game like it. I’m excited to start making it because it’s just a great idea. Instead of just pumping out game after game after game, it’s like waiting to come up with something that’s unique, that no-one’s seen before, and enables you to make something that you hope will be amazing. So, we’ll see. It’s got a pretty cool fiction around it. It’s got an interesting story.”

It’s a bold comment but don’t forget, Daikatana was also hyped similarly two decades ago (with a harsh marketing campaign to boot), so unless he has an idea to revolutionize the genre, we should take his words with a grain of salt.

We’re waiting for more details.
