E3 - John Romero's Newest FPS, Via N-Gage

Posted by simoniker on from the make-you-his-handysized-autodialling-itch dept.

It seems that Nokia's 'mobile game deck', the N-Gage has lured John Romero and his Monkeystone Games posse back from reliving their 2D shareware glory days with Hyperspace Delivery Boy, and onto his 3D shareware FPS glory days, with their own adaptation of THQ's first-person shooter Red Faction. Here are links to the new Red Faction N-Gage trailer in MPEG-4 and Quicktime.Update: 05/13 15:58 GMT by H : We had a story on N-Gage a couple months back.

    It's the same resentment that any pretty girl would receive in such a male-dominated industry.

    I don't plan on giving John Romero any of my money.

    He told me, via ads in PC Gamer, to "Suck it down" ..

    No, Mr. Romero, *you* suck it down.

      I wouldn't give him money either but ever since he made me his bitch I haven't had much choice.

    That looks great! I can't wait until it's released for the X-Box.

    Thanks, chief--I figured that one out by myself.

    But somehow, I still suspect that he could have done a port of Space Invaders and there would still have been a warehouse level. With crates.
