That's what you get for pitching a Kickstarter without so much as alpha gameplay footage. The low hanging KS fruit are picked clean, you gotta work for it a little harder these days.

Yeah, I'd be willing to give Romero the benefit of a doubt, but not quite the benefit of a dollar at this point.

131k in four days is not bad at all, they'll certainly surpass their goal if a playable demo can get people hyped.

No relation. Adrian Carmack was the artist for Doom.

while we're on the topic of FPS games whose best days are 15 years in the past, i think it's hilarious that the new Doom uses a song by Refused in its commercials. new Doom will be just as lovely as the new Refused album

I like how in new games they have to make the enemies flash so you can see them in dark hallways instead of just using colours other then grey and green to make them stand out against the environment. Everything needs to be dark. Groping around in the dark is fun!

In relating the circumstances which have led to my confinement within this refuge for the demented, I am aware that my present position will create a natural doubt of the authenticity of my narrative.

I've been waiting for almost 20 years to be John Romero's bitch and now he bails after a few days? What does it take to be sodomized by John Romero?
