What went wrong?
Too much money and Eidos interactive giving them more drugs and girls than they could want.

His attemped mass sodomization ended up being rather dissapointing
>>345131960
Overhyped game was disappointing and he could never live it down. He's still responsible for some of the greatest games of all time happening like Deus Ex.
>>345135060
Why did things fall apart with him and Id though?

You may want to read Masters of Doom.
I have nothing against the guy. He did a lot more good in the industry than bad.
I WILL MARRY ROMERO!
Blackroom hurts even more than Daikatana
Still loving his hair, tough

Romero didn't like how Carmack was basically re-hashing doom all the time and not really innovating. Carmack didn't like how Romero was giving out grandiose statements about Quake, and being more of a celebrity than a programmer.
Id software's fall from glory was inevitable, since all the chaos was there from the beginning, with Adrian being an edgy cunt towards Tom.

He made you his bitch.

I've been reading Masters of Doom and I feel bad for Tom Hall. Everyone kept pushing to get edgier and edgier with their shit, and Tom Hall still wanted to make a new Commander Keen game. He also made a very elaborate story bible for Doom, and the whole thing got thrown out because of John Carmack's "story in games is like story in porn" philosophy, and Romero didn't really care because as long as there was lots of violence he was happy.

>still no news about the game
I really don't want history repeating itself, but it just might happen
>>345138746
there's still hope for the demo they'Ve promised, r-right?
>>345138746
I wonder, is John Carmack going to get bored working at Oculus? I know VR is something he's extremely passionate about but Oculus has already been surpassed by Vive, which makes me wonder if he's being sufficiently challenged.
>>345139041
Well, Romero promised a gameplay demo, but he is spending his time in expos, interviews, conferences and twitter
>>345138745
It wasn't that Tom Hall didn't like how things were getting edgier and edgier, it was more so that he didn't have any creative freedom at all. Of all the proposed episode names in the Doom Bible, only Knee-Deep in the Dead made it into the game. When you're a creative designer, and you're told that the next game has no story, what the fuck are you supposed to do?
>>345139093
It could be because Oculus is being sued by Zenimax (the people who now on id). The entire situation is fucking hilarious though.
>Wants to work with VR
>Zenimax says no
>Leaves id to work with Oculus
>Oculus is bought by Facebook
>Zenimax sues Oculus

Jeff Hanneman died but despite that they held it together and made Repentless, which is a great album.
Can someone explain to me what the fuck happened in the ending to Daikatana
>>345140079
It's a bit sad to read how Tom Hall get fucked everytime, but I think Doom would be a worse game if he took the creative control.
>Forget Commander Keen, we will make a edgie action game
>Forget your story-driven game
>Fuck your realistic maps, we will do it in the Romero's abstract way
>Tom Hall imagined a modern FPS in early 90's
>>345141064Hiro basically universal resets everything and made it so that the plague never happened and the daikatana was never found
>>345131960
>i have a questionable work ethic
>i should run the company
>i should hire randos from the internet
>i should indulge in the dotcom hubris and run my business out of a palace
Just because you're good at gameplay or map design, doesn't mean you should run the business.

He didn't really make us his bitch.
