John Romero Developing a MMOG

Posted by Zonk on from the no-longer-on-the-highly-successful-n-gage dept.

bmarklein writes "According to computerandvideogames.com, John Romero is to developing an MMO. He doesn't divulge any details, but does say that it's 'the most money I've ever spent on a game' and that it's 'very different from any other MMO for some special reasons.' Will this live up to the hype, or is history repeating itself?"

    "John Romero is to developing an MMO"? An MMO what?

    Interesting... I used to be in the game industry, and a few days ago I got an email from an independent headhunter looking for senior developers to work on a project at "John Romero's new company". At least one of my ex-coworkers from the game days also got the email.

    The email was very short on particulars, but the company appears to be in the Bay area. Honestly, if it weren't for having to pull chocks and move cross-country, I'd seriously have thought about it... yes, Daikatana sucked, and yes, Romeros started breathing a little too much of his own exhaust during the late id days, but I still think he knows what he's talking about.
