Romero Interview
Ion Storm boss John Romero has spoken to Evil Ed about his company and upcoming titles, and provided the usual spatterings of sex speak. There is this bit on the caning Daikatana received from the gaming press:
Well, I’m just very disappointed in the negativity that exists in this GAME industry nowadays. I really believe Daikatana is a fun game and it’s sad to see people jump all over it as if they were counting on it being the only game they were ever going to play. I don’t go to the local AMC, watch a movie, and run back home to email the director and tell him that he did a completely shitty job on the movie and that he’s all washed up and that he can enjoy the failure that he is. That is pure sickness and it’s something that Evil Avatar and his ilk make their living on… but I’m hoping that someday I can get out of this tough creative position and start randomly tearing other people down because it’s such a nice, easy job.
