John Romero’s Post

Look I am no Nostradamus here, okay...but Romero Games Ltd., posting open positions for a new FPS game. I think people beating Sigil 2 probably assumed that the mentioned Hellion was going to be a DOOM 2 WAD. But I consulted a team of scientists, and they are predicting that this is the new game Romero is making. Think about this - design principles similar to OG DOOM. That fast moving, enemy prioritizing, demon ridden goodness of old but new, and improved. Maybe if we are lucky, another Buckethead soundtrack. The FPS genre is no desert right now. It's booming with games and a whole new generation of pistol starting, circle strafing maniacs who are discovering not only the classics like Doom, but also their modern contemporaries - the DUSK's, Turbo Overkill's, Ion Fury's, Selaco's, Prodeus', Amid Evil's, Ultrakills, and Mullet Mad Jack's of the world. (Oh I'm sorry I can't name ALL the good FPS games from the past 10 years, LinkedIN doesn't have a two million character limit) So having one of the original king-shit's of the FPS, who is still making Doom WAD's with no super shotgun and eight thousand dickhead Cacodemons make a brand new FPS game in the time where these games have been nicknamed "boomer shooters" because 38 year olds like me are sitting and waiting for the next Eviternity or Sunlust to come out for our GZDOOM executables would be the absolute cherry on top of what I consider the new greatest era for the genre. Or I'm totally wrong and Hellion is another DOOM WAD, not that I'd be disappointed either way.

🎞 🎮 Coming from a filmmaking background, I couldn’t wait to learn how to make cinematics in Unreal Engine. These past weeks I’ve been playing around with some marketplace assets and I created an Action/Sci-fi inspired sequence.
