Just caught this on Facebook. A few hours old, but I didn't see a thread about it. Any guesses?

[Nekofrog]

square enix had a nice recovery going, too

[Aquamarine]

He better not make us his bitch again. :(

[Glass Rebel]

John Romero and Motomu Toriyama will make Lightning your bitch.

[Raide]

Daikatana 2!

[thekonamicode]

Finally.

Daikatana Gaiden

[Wario64]

Hmm

[mugurumakensei]

John Romero and Motomu Toriyama will make Lightning your bitch.

Daikatana: Lightning Rises

[UberTag]

Seems like the kind of "grasping at straws" gambit Square Enix would pursue.

[Phire Phox]

guess we now know why vs xiii is taking so long.

[mcdoomington]

My guess is it's another Loot Drop mobile game based on a SE IP - a deal similar to the Ghost Recon project they were working on with Ubi that got shitcanned.

[JDSN]

I guess Western SE needed its Toriyama.

[fvng]

I remember years ago in an interview in PC Gamer or CGW he said something like he wanted to make a game as emotionally powerful as FF6, then he said the opera scene in FF6 made him cry.

(Interview circa Daikatana)

[Du2andal]

John Romero heading up a Fear Effect reboot? Clearly someone at Square Enix has been getting my letters.

[nubbe]

The Bouncer EX

[vocab]

The Supafly Chronicles

[jaypah]

"You'll want to protect his bitch"

wait, what?

[Ainaurdur]

The Bouncer EX

You know most people never want to see anything The Bouncer related ever again.

But I would!

[ZombieSupaStar]

Im up for it.

Keen, Wolf, Doom, and Quake werent awesome by accident.

I'd like to think him and Tom Hall helped with that.

I it didn't make me cry, but it definitely left a impression on me. I think it was the first time a game (especially in that era) could come across like that. I was ~13 at the time though.

[°°ToMmY°°]

Gree?

[Nirolak]

(It'll be social mobile garbage instead.)

[Synth_floyd]

I'M READY!

[Graphics Horse]

Daikatana 002 Duodecim

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Hmm

what is wrong with those windows

[Black Door]

(It'll be social mobile garbage instead.)

That's all he's been doing since he fled the Gauntlet project at Midway, so yeah, this

[Lactose_Intolerant]

this will be a mobile game. nothing to see here.

[cuyahoga]

Alternative theory: maybe he's trying to buy the rights to something he did that Square Enix owns for purposes of a Kickstarter?

[ZombieSupaStar]

I still wanna hear more about that too, J.E. Sawyer worked on and hated that game as well.

I think Chrono Trigger is his favorite game...

[PapaJustify]

Can't you recognize great architectural design when you see it? lol

[rekameohs]

Suck it down.

[Nokterian]

I'M READY!

Should have been the first post.

[Black Door]

He and Romero made characters for a Gauntlet revival (a dragoon and an "actress," I guess like a Final Fantasy mime,) then Midway shit the bed and everything they came up with got cut from the final game. Damn shame, since I had followed previews of that game back then and liked what little of Gauntlet Legends I played on the PS2, and was waiting for it

[ZombieSupaStar]

I'M READY!

About that Bitch Ad...

[vocab]

I wish SE would give up the rights for anachronox. Let the sequel be made already god damn.

[Angelus Errare]

Would be awesome if Romero and Carmack did a title together.

[ArjanN]

John Romero heading up a Fear Effect reboot? Clearly someone at Square Enix has been getting my letters.

We are now friends.

[Synth_floyd]

About that Bitch Ad...

LOL, that ad really did ruin his reputation.

[Black Door]

LOL, that ad really did ruin his reputation.

I remember people cheering on Mike Wilson as some kind of hero for that troll-mail shown in the video, even though his marketing team draining the budget is part of the reason Ion Storm fell apart

[clashfan]

Is he bringing along Killcreek?

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Everyone looks like a bitch in the Final Fantasy games so this makes sense....lol

If they hired him to UN-bitch things now THAT would be special.

Romero: "Look, I know what a bitch looks like..."

[Celine]

(It'll be social mobile garbage instead.)

If only that would be true, if only...

[AuthenticM]

He's actually directing Final Fantasy XV.

[Ponn01]

no, No, NO!! WTF are you doing over there Square Enix!?

[EMT0]

Everybody go hide in a bunker, this unholy combination is going to kill things.

[Misguided]

Hmm

Can I just say?

What the fuck is going on with that building?

[ULTROS!]

He's actually directing Final Fantasy XV.

Or Parasite Eve. Aya Brea will make you her bitch. Oh yeah.

Can I just say? What the fuck is going on with that building?

Nomura probably designed it.

[AuthenticM]

Or Parasite Eve. Aya Brea will make you her bitch. Oh yeah.

If only. If only, dude.

[trinest]

Daikatana 2!

Yes.

(there is no issues with Daikatana really, I think its a concept which people if it was released today appreciate more).

[Melizee]

This clearly goes in hand with the revival of the Soul Reaver franchise.

[Zarx]

SE are always talking about how profitable their social/browser games are and John Romero works at a company that makes social/browser games. Is there any doubt what kind of game this is?
