E3 - John Romero's Newest FPS, Via N-Gage

It seems that Nokia's 'mobile game deck', the N-Gage has lured John Romero and his Monkeystone Games posse back from reliving their 2D shareware glory days with Hyperspace Delivery Boy, and onto his 3D shareware FPS glory days, with their own adaptation of THQ's first-person shooter Red Faction. Here are links to the new Red Faction N-Gage trailer in MPEG-4 and Quicktime.Update: 05/13 15:58 GMT by H : We had a story on N-Gage a couple months back.

Oh No! Romero!

good thing for Nokia that Romero is doing an adaptation, we all know what happens when he decides to make something of his own [planetdaikatana.com]. :)

It's the same resentment that any pretty girl would receive in such a male-dominated industry.

This color hurts my eyes. Please stop.

Oh wait, slashdot staff doesn't read comments. Right. My mistake.

A log? What?

That would be software for Microsoft's iLoo [slashdot.org]

They won't get a cent out of me

I don't plan on giving John Romero any of my money.

He told me, via ads in PC Gamer, to "Suck it down" ..

No, Mr. Romero, *you* suck it down.

Cell phones are SHACKLES!

Daikatana Open Source

[VAXGeek]

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but Romero has recently announced at E3 that Daikatana's source code will be released in 3 weeks. As you can imagine, everyone is very excited, because we can bring the advanced AI "buddy bots" from Daikatana to our favorite games, like Half Life, or maybe even the upcoming Doom3. Nothing will be better than having Superfly Johnson behind you helping you frag a cyberdemon.

Re:This be what I'm excited about from E3

[gpinzone]

That looks great! I can't wait until it's released for the X-Box.

I think a spell checker is needed here, you misspelled "Daikatana Open Sores."

I wouldn't give him money either but ever since he made me his bitch I haven't had much choice.

Re:Wow--it's Doom on Mars!

Thanks, chief--I figured that one out by myself.

But somehow, I still suspect that he could have done a port of Space Invaders and there would still have been a warehouse level. With crates.

Oh, that ad was aimed at *you*? Damn, and here all this time he was making fun of *me*.

I forgive ya, John! Um... is it too late to buy Daikatana now?

Nokia makes trains?

I prefer the larger gauges, but N gauge is pretty cool if you have limited space.
