The message board for
the official John Romero website has the former id Software-Ion Storm-Midway member comment on a recent Computer Gaming World magazine column about him:

@ Romero, just a few little thingies that bothered me.

Quote:
Daikatana took 3 years from concept to store shelves. This is hardly a long dev cycle. DOOM3 took 5 years, Half Life 2 took 7, Duke Forever is on year 9.


That might be true but you did, yourself, say Daikatana was gonna stomp ass all around. But in terms of dev time, games today compared to games of yesterday take a lot more coding and graphics work than before there's 10x more crap out there, look at HL2.

Duke bashing is not nice, be nice to Duke or he's gonna kick ur ass. Doom3, complete and utter joke game but funny you picked that one! Doom 3 took 5 years for pastel bitmaps, fake shadows no physics and BORING gameplay. And then welcome to the Overataed/biased reviews.
