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

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.

Thanks for reading

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who has expressed an interest in MonkeyStone. Back when I was writing Doom, you know, we were pretty sure that multiplayer was the wave of the future. I have that same feeling now about wireless handhelds. They are the future of gaming, you know, and it's the same technical hurdles all over again: scarcity of storage, slow processors, the whole nine yards. So, in some ways, the challenge is familiar.

I think we're succeeding, though, and it feels good to be at the forefront of gaming development again, pushing the envelope. I encourage everyone in the gaming community to come check out where we're leading the industry.

Thanks for stopping by!
