He can not even specify whether the game will be made by Loot Drop, the company where he is now the director of is. Romero wants of the shooter something game-achtigs’, where the progress of the player and the development of his character ‘persistent’. ‘Players expect today anyway, but I have the idea a long time ago and I still think it’s a good plan,” says Romero.

He does not like games like Gears of War. “I’m not a fan of take shelter in shooters or games in which the player is a sponge is that bullets can suck. I’m not interested in the tank-like player. I love the feeling that I skills have, ” says Romero.

Therefore, they had games different designs, so that players have something else to do if they are not quickly able to maneuver.’

Romero wants something else. “I love fast 180’s, fast aim, fast shooting, fast moving. So everything that is not, like modern shooters where you actually only via a fixed route to the exit runs without having to explore, it is not for me. I love to explore. That is not to say that Gears of War is not a good game, but I love mouse and keyboard.”

Romero works at Loot Drop along with his buddy Tom Hall, who at the same time with Romero began when id Software him and he later came to Ion Storm, to be there together on the infamous Daikatana to work.
