John Romero interview

Next Generation Online heeft een interview met John Romero, Opper God der 3D FPSers, in elkaar geduwd. Hier een stukkie over wat onze vriend John de laatste tijd zoal heeft zitten doen:

lot of our readers are going to want to know: in the Dallas Observer article, it talks about you as being absent and disinterested in Daikatana. What's that all about? Why were various members of the ION Storm staff and the folks at Eidos expressing that concern?

JR: Well, to set the record straight: I have been at Ion every single day since we began and this past Christmas I finally took a vacation along with everyone else. The false statement that I was "absent and disinterested in Daikatana" came from some of the guys who left because a lot of the time back then was spent on business issues and dealing with our new PR firm, doing interviews, etc. Any of the times those core guys didn't see me, I was downstairs dealing with the artists and swapping ideas and making sure content was being created with the right look. At the start of the project a lot of the time was spent making sure each of the artists knew what my vision was and i was always checking things out and steering them in the right direction. Ask any of the current team about my attendance and passion about Daikatana if you want verification.
