Hmm, whats going on over here..... Finishing up Prey? I guess thats kind of hard to notice with the articles we've been putting in various gaming mags, and the web coverage.
And what would I blame George for exactly?
I was referring to when I was at Ion Storm (in '97) as far as longevity of a product in development, smart ***.

A little touchy I see.
I guess thats what happens when you're awarded the lifetime acheivement award in vaporware, and even manage to win the award after that!
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Remedy did the lion's share of the work on Max Payne.
Yeah, so at Ion Storm, were you part of the party when someone rewrote the code to the missile launcher in Daikatana to make it shoot backwards. Then JR shot it, blew himself up and got so pissed off he flung his monitor with his little yellow ferrari model on the floor and fired the intern that thought it would be funny to do it? :P
How about the time you guys projected porn onto the skyscraper next to your office? :P

Prey also had a vaporware award or two as I recall, but its obviously going to be released this time. Sorry that we don't whore ourselves out to publishers and have to abide by their ridiculous deadlines.Originally Posted by Maugan_VX

Well since you've been working here and at Remedy then you definitely know what you're talking about, I'm very very sorry for my obvious lack of knowledge on this topic.
That was WAY after my stint there. And most of that I would only assume is just rumors. John isn't the loser everyone makes him out to be, but these comments always fall on deaf ears.

Yeah well, I guess 10 years was just a little too aggressive for you guys.Sorry that we don't whore ourselves out to publishers and have to abide by their ridiculous deadlines.

It is indeed, I would prefer 20 years.Yeah well, I guess 10 years was just a little too aggressive for you guys.

Now now Brian, not so sure where you took things wrong here, but nothing offensive is intended (by me anyways.... feel free to punch Maugan
I was talking about Duke concerning the lengthy time. No clue you did time at Ion. That would also explain the time frame. We aquired some ex Ions in the past couple of years. Emil Pagliarulio and Mark Lampert. We have some others but they are more on the producer/marketing side.
Concerning George, I wasnt sure you were working on Prey or Duke. If I am correct, George is on Duke I believe (correct me if I am wrong, I am sure you will). In that case, It;s simply fun to blame George for "anything". Bitter and cynical.... that's what makes George fun.
Those that poke John Romero don't really know John, I agree. He is pretty arrogant, but, he has always backed it up. You can't point Daikatana at him, especially since EVERY developer has their sack of !@#$all titles. I have a few I would love to sweep under the carpet. I wish John the best this MMO he has planned out. Could be his vessel to get back into the thick of things. It was nice back in the day when John was always around to stir things up. Made things.... fun.
Hang in there Brian. I am looking forward to Prey.

just so you don't go punching people.
My comments are all made in jest... don't take it as anything personal.
If DNF (which, in the sailing world, means "Did Not Finish") comes out, I'm definitely buying a copy.
Sorry Gary, I'm a FPS whore :P
(ps that patch I was whining about finally came out)
