Blistering idiots.
You know the game will be an accurate throwback to 90s level design when one of the concept art pieces features some barrels.

You mean Hoxel jumping, and recode strafing, and Hoxeling recoding.

Since this game will be the anti-christ to FPS, I will no longer use wasd, I will use qwes!

You have to use the arrow keys like a true old school fps player instead of wasd. And have at least 5 awkward as gently caress out of reach keybinds.

I too long for the days when FPSs were poo poo but we played them anyway because we didn't know any better

Based on this video of him talking, I am 100% confident that this washed-up developer can make us a terrible, unfun FPS with broken mechanics just like we had back then

Oh wait poo poo I forgot to couch my statement in euphemisms

Well both Eonwe and John Romero were conveniently unavailable when I wanted to play DAIKATANA deathmatch so this might be worth looking into.

Also, does anyone else wish that they went the Shaq Fu route and just made this a Daikatana sequel/reboot done right? Especially if they went balls out and called it Daikatana 2: Superfly's Revenge or something.

Honestly it surprises me that so many people in this thread are so hard on Romero. Yeah, Daikatana sucked poo poo but the man still makes awesome Doom levels and is apparently a pretty all-around cool guy. Still plays games with fans and his YouTube play through / discussions about Doom development are astonishingly brilliant.

Reading Masters of Doom I thought it was pretty apparent that Romero was incredibly good at game design and player involvement. I think management and corporate stewardship aren't his strong suits at all (at all) but this seems like totally in his wheelhouse. Maybe other people have a different opinion but I came out with a totally changed opinion of him in the last few years following the book and reading / watching more poo poo about him and his work.

I'm shocked it took this long for Romero to jump on the kickstarter bandwagon.

Funding cancelled, the dream is over. Then again, he might restart when he's got a workable demo.
