Newsbrief: It's been quite some time since Loot Drop co-founder John Romero has worked on a first person shooter, but the renowned developer and original Doom creator recently revealed that he has plans to return to that genre with a new game built primarily for the PC. "I'm definitely going to be making another shooter and it will be on PC first," Romero told Eurogamer. He did not provide many details on the project, nor did he confirm whether Loot Drop will be responsible for its development. He did, however, mention that the game would contain persistent elements, where characters grow and improve over time. Earlier this week, Romero's Loot Drop also announced its most recent game: a turn-based title based on Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series.
