Commander Keen
Should have been left dead

Bethesda fucked up Commander Keen by making it into a frigging cell phone instead of an old school plattformer for PC or other consoles. The cartoonish design looks quite good but when they show the cell phone….all my excitement was instantly crushed. No wonder why there was no update about the project. Thanks a bunch Bethesda!
drinkin beer on the show thats the game informer I know lol
Poor guys. Their legacy is being massacred under the rule of Bethesda, doom excluded of course… for now. Give me time they’ll screw that up too… freaking Bethesda.
Wow you can really read between the lines that even though he loves the aesthetic and art design of new Keen, the fact that it's not a platformer is a HUGE disservice, and he really just hopes it does well enough to warrant a proper Keen platformer in that art style.
I like that he liked the trailer for the Commander Keen sequil!
I hate that they made the game a crappy mobile pay to win title when they should have made it a game like Cuphead or Rayman or Alien hominid!
Wel, I'll do what I can to help!
Keen was really his and Tom Hall's baby, so seeing his reaction makes perfect sense.
This game is going to ruin the commander keen franchise
The doom family
what the hell happened to blackroom
Yo this John guy kind of looks like the face inside the icon of sin
please sir port super mario 3 on PC with custom assets
"Do you guys not have phones?!"
If you make me play the game then you must kill me, John Romero.
Romero: "It's not for the people that played the original Keen"
Me: "Well okay, that doesn't have to mean it's that ba-" 1:21
That's Romero kindly saying; The fuck did you a-holes do to my legacy!?
Bethesda shouldn't have done that, he's just a boy…
I don't have a problem with the artsyle for the new Commander Keen but it doesn't look like a very functional polished game even from what I've seen.
You can definitely tell by the look on his face, John Romero died a little.
John Romero played doom eternal like iMac?
“I bet Neil Armstrong didn’t complain about his mashed potatoes!”
wait where's jess blazkovicz
Ive never heard a man try so hard to not shit-talk a game before than Romero talking about that Keen remake XD
Romero: "I don't play stuff like this." ?
Commander Keen, DOOM I and II, and Wolfenstein were my entire childhood fun. So many bad memories, but playing these games was my escape
Such a lovely down to earth person for someone who has achieved so much.
I wish more people were like him..
It's so weird seeing Romero's take on Eternal compared to Sandy Petersen
