Romero And Hall Sign Up With Midway

Posted by simoniker on Monday October 13, 2003 @06:02AM from the the-audience-is-watching dept.

Thanks to C+VG for confirming the rumors that John Romero and Tom Hall have been recruited by Midway, eliciting an official response that "the company has employed the talents" of the id Software co-founders, late of the partially ill-fated Ion Storm and the handheld developer Monkeystone Games. The article comments: "Of course, big names don't guarantee big games - Romero's Daikatana will forever remain in our memories, for all the wrong reasons - but it will certainly be interesting to see how Midway fares in this new Hall and Romero era." Update: 10/14 01:42 GMT by S : A report at GameSpot has an insider claiming Romero and Hall will be working on titles including an "already-in-the-works new version of Gauntlet" over at Midway San Diego.

...who thinks that Daikatana MP still really rocks? It's Quake 1, just better! Fast rockets, enormous rocketjump heights, cool weapons and this fantastic atmosphere only Romero can create.
I searched for online servers recently, but they all seem to be gone.
