Romero and Carmack are making a shooter Blackroom!

If John Carmack id be super hyped but Adrian not so much.

InB4 people will confuse Adrian with John.

Well, I'm moderately optimistic. But will not pre-order, unless some price bug happens :P

That Adrian Carmack's name will only bring money as long as people don't realise his first name is not John, and that Romero's last succesful game was made… 19 years ago I think?

expected release price: $60

expected bundle for $1: 6 months later...

Beware of the hype!

"Carmack will of course be in charge of the graphics"
I hope that means the graphical assets, not the game engine running them.
(Adrian Carmack used to be one of the lead artists for iD, John Carmack's the brains behind the idTech engine)

But, is it metal af ?

Romero was answering questions about the game on his Twitch channel some hours ago. Since the game doesn't really have any meat on its bones right now, as far as I understood, most of his answers were about what they'd "like" to do, and the kinds of ideas they have for the game. Someone in chat asked him why he thinks this game is going to be any better than Daikatana, and he started reading it out, but then just went on to something else. It's a fair enough question, really. Sure, you can link him to Doom and assume, on that basis, that this game should be just as good, but that game had many other people behind it, to perhaps steer his ideas in the right direction. Who knows what this game is going to turn out to be like. I guess there's no way to know. Gonna have to wait for the first gameplay videos.

There's a Zero Punctuation video on Daikatana, which pretty much mirrors my opinion when it comes to Romero as a game dev.

P.S. - His hair and hand movements were majestic af during the stream. Just had to put that out there.

"HOXAR GAMER : - A Backer Exclusive Starter Weapon Skin!"

Oh, I see, they have a very precise idea of what kind of game they want.

I'll pass, I don't want to be anyone's bitch anymore.

But when will they make me their bitch?

no way I'd pony up this early on, especially considering John Romero's history

Singleplayer with crazy story? I will keep an eye on this title.

I'm definitely down for some old school FPS action, but I'm gonna wait a bit and see how things play out first.

Ever since Daikatana Romero's rep was rather tarnished imho. I have my doubts that he'd be considered "among the world's top game designers", as his Kickstarter bio claims.
But hey, I certainly wouldn't mind if they'd manage to create something great. I wish them best of luck.

One hella ambitious project.

They have absolutely nothing concrete to show... I wait until it's out, I suspect this will be one more failed kickstarter or half-assed project that bite more than it could chew...

I want bit more from my money that "Hey old FPS were cool! We want to make game like them, give us your money!" Without showing any sort of demo or design documentation...
