or maybe it was doom 2 that he wanted to switch directions cause he didn't want to do another fps

I read Masters of Doom and I really can't remember this. It really sounds like you're thinking of Tom Hall.

Aye apparently Romero was in absolute beast mode on Doom, a lot of that games artist style seems to be to his credit. His interest seemed to wane around the time of Quake where he was getting blamed for a lot of the delays. He was also off doing other games at this time ?, Heretic ?.

Tom Hall wanted to carry on doing Commander Keen side scrollers. On reflection it's a shame id couldn't have just given him a team.

Nice use of the not star wars but sounds very similar but probably not similar enough to have to pay for it music

Maybe it's a Star Wars game

That video was so self-absorbed I can't tell if it's tongue in cheek or not. The Star Wars sounding music makes me think they are, in fact, just douchebags.

Adrian Carmack was mostly responsible for the artwork (textures). Romero did level design and had a big hand in gameplay.

I too was confused as to why they'd shot that in Ireland at first, but apparently that's where the office for this new game is based.

Pretty sure Romero invents a new company and tries to make a game every couple of years. It's usually like a cellphone game or some shit if it even gets made.

Neither of these guys have been relevant in the industry for over a decade. I'm not expecting a lot from them.
