A guy in New Zealand is currently working on a 3D remake of Commander Keen, id's classic platformer from the year 1990. The project seems to be in development for a couple of month now, the status quo can be seen on pcgames.de (three videos and links to further information).
Possibilities for new studio/IP pairing have been flying across social media. These are a few ideas I had for which Bethesda studios should tackle some Microsoft IPs, or vice versa, now that Xbox has 23 studios under its exclusivity belt.
"Back in the early '90s, I recall playing plenty of fantastic DOS games between gaming sessions on my NES. So, allow me to describe 5 such games as I remember them from back in the day. Perhaps you've played a few of these as well!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Rather than craft a nostalgia-driven tribute to the original platformers, Bethesda is instead making a free-to-play Commander Keen mobile game which looks like it will try to capture the same edgy-yet-kid-friendly vibe of games like Fortnite.
The Commander Keen games were great PC platformers, seeing him resurrected as a mobile game was pretty depressing.
I'm just confused about John Romero's initial objections towards ID being acquired by Bethesda.
They pretty much changed everything about one of his pre-ID IP's and made it lose any connection it has to the past.
Sure I understand it's probably a money thing but this could potentially be the start of more IP's going down that lane.
inofficial?
I'm pretty sure that word is uncorrect.
I want it
1990?, that's insane to think that games like that are only that old, it makes sense but it seems like even longer ago than that that I was rocking agent, halloween harry, commander keen and jetpack
those games were epic
