    "During a meeting I explained to John that I was working on the end-game cinematics with Kage . I pronounced it 'Cage.' Romero giggled. 'Who? What? What are you working on?' I said it again. Now everyone was laughing at me. Romero: 'Who? Say it again!' Me: 'Um ... Kage?' Romero: 'No, dude! It's pronounced Kah-gee!' Me: 'Um ... well, you better check the voiceover recordings, because it's 'Cage.' And suddenly Romero's face turned white. Half the audio in the game had his name pronounced wrong, and it was too late to fix." - Matthew Cox, senior artist on Daikatana

    Romero has said several times that Daikatana was basically his life's lesson in humility. So I like to think that there's a timeline where Daikatana was successful, but as a result Romero became part of the Hall of Gaming Corporate Pricks, right there with the likes of Randy Pitchford, Todd Howard and Chris Roberts.

      This is how brutal dictatorships keep going in real life, I imagine. Sure, most people don't want to see torture and wrongful imprisonment... but they also don't want themselves or their loved ones wrongfully imprisoned and tortured. Especially with no guarantee that their suffering will serve as anything but a deterrent to anyone else thinking of speaking up. Of course, if everyone speaks up at once, it's a different thing, but intimidation is a potent force when you're staring it down.
      Still a crappy way to get people to accept you as leader, though!

    When the Half-Life 2 beta was leaked in 2003, it leaked with a lot of other content that was never meant to be released at all. One of these was a collection of maps that took the form of a retexture or remake of the hazard course from the original, with beta Alyx Vance in place of the hologram. It remains mostly faithful to the original until the player passes the crouch jump tutorial, when they are stopped from proceeding by Barney Calhoun who says something along the lines of:
    "Sorry sir but I can't let you through without your buddy Superfly Johnson... Just kidding Gordon, you can go on through."
    This is followed by extremely nerdy laughter.

      Romero was actually a pretty good programmer by the accounts seen in Masters of Doom. Not superstar level by any means, but he could pull his weight if he could get his head out of his ass.
      EDIT: I'd actually attribute for instance most of the actual gameplay/game design-concerning code in the DOS DOOM games to him, since it sounded like Carmack was mostly concerned with the graphics rendering and technology.

    • @DStecks
      @DStecks ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Over the years I've actually come to suspect that Carmack was responsible for a lot more of the design of Doom than he ever took credit for. A lot of Tom Hall and John Romero's ideas for Doom that Carmack shot down as "not doable with the tech" would later be done in the Doom engine in games like Hexen and Strife. My conspiracy theory is that Carmack essentially used his position as head programmer as a veto on design choices he personally didn't like.

    Romero totally had unbridled talent, but in order for it to shine through needed a lot of help around his edges. He has a lot of potentional, but absolutely needs a solid team to work with him and the problem is this game just didnt have anything besides Romero. Compound that with his growing ego and a lack of bounce back due to his status he lost himself.
    Also, anyone else feel bad for how tiny cerberus was?

    I was 17 when Quake came out, after playing the shit out of every id game. Seeing the sudden news break that Romero was leaving id was like our generation's version of the Beatles breaking up. And then watching both sides of the split mostly turn to junk was heart breaking. When Daikatana finally released, I was busy working and didn't have time to game. I remember seeing it within weeks dumped into clearance bins, and knowing things had finally reached the bitter conclusion.

If someone is not buried with 2 drachma they cannot pass into the afterlife with Charon.
