So... Romero IS revisiting Daikatana, just in a more Time Commando way.

I just wish he had more to show, even a simplistic proof of concept map. And I really wish he didn't say Kickstarter, I was expecting something more sure, instead of "Hey, maybe we'll get the money if you give us some money first".

Anyway, here's hoping for the best.

I will wait for when I see actual "Gameplay footage" to decide and sink money into this but cool concept he has planned out.

Nice, maybe either a remake or a sequel? If Daikatana didn't have so much babysitting (to be fair it wasn't as bad in later patches) I would have liked it more. As it was I didn't dislike it.

Edit: Didn't read the new comment. Double unfortunate about Kickstarter. Why can't developers use Indiegogo?

If they'll manage to get more than 100k during the first day, I'm guessing they'll have a real shot in funding this.

No idea who he is, never pay attention to who makes what game/s.
Well, apart for sid meier, hard to miss that one.

I love Doom, I love Quake, and to be honest I like Daikatana too. And I think Romero's a nice guy. A really nice guy.

I can't say I'm hyped for the new game, because in general I'm not hyped for new games. I mostly play the old classics, that's just the way I am. So normally I don't back any new game projects.

Here I make an exception. Not because I care about the game itself, but because somehow the idea of Adrian and John getting back together and making a game (after so long!) just warms my heart. I think Romero should make a game, and enjoy the process of making it. If he does, and I can be a part of making it reality, then I'm happier for it.

Good luck Romero & Carmack. Hereby I pledge my $[redacted].

Of course, I also wish they'd make it to GOG, DRM free. Anyone know what's the right way to send the message?

I
am really curious.

Also, what is the message at the end of this ?

I am a stingy jerk.. but I'm backing Blackroom because I believe in Rom and Car's abilities and.. well.. its Cyberpunk... and if you know me.. well, that will always win me over ^_^

Are you going to make us your bitch again?
How about we just make you all a game.

XD

Accordind to kickstarter, DRMfree will be available:

I can't seem to find anything interesting about this kickstarter, not even the back story. It sounds like cheap science fiction. I'm sure they can make the gameplay, since they are basically the inventor of it. So for me it all comes down to level design and modding capabilities. Well, since Linux version is not confirmed yet, it's quite low on my radar

Thanks, just found the new newsletter and Kickstarter video...
If that's the only way he can fund it, then so be it...
But I am a little bit excited over this...
Hope it comes to consoles (and awaits angry backlash for this statement).

I wish they had named it, 'White Room'. Then I could blast out my Cream Album...
