John Romero planning "MMO-ish" PC shooter

John Romero has confirmed to Eurogamer he currently has the design nailed down for a PC shooter that will be "MMO-ish" in some aspect.

"Yes, I'm definitely going to be making another shooter and it will be on PC first," said the co-founder of id Software, now CEO of social studio Loot Drop Inc.

"I don't want to talk about the details but I already know what it is. I've already kind of designed the thing and it's pretty cool - though of course, I am going to say that. I think it's a neat design, I haven't seen the design anywhere else."

He added the title will be "persistant" with how the player's character will develop.

"It's a persistent game, it has persistent player data, the character grows and gets better over time. I think most gamers expect that now anyway, but this was a design I'd done a while ago. I think it's pretty valid.

"You will be playing the game as you would expect a shooter to feel, but the specifics of your situation, narrative wrapper and reward system are all unique. I wouldn't want to give out any specifics until I'm close to shipping it. I've learned my lesson about talking too soon about specific game features and release dates."
