Daikatana vs Q3?

Anyone who wants to be fucked by a sword will not be alive for very long.

blah blah!

Ok..the article in question was lame, since the author is comparing a demo of a game he has played (Daikatana) with a test of Q3, which he admits, he hasn\'t played. I\'ll go a step further - reviews of demos/tests/alphas/pre-release version are ridiculous. A massive portion of every game can change relatively late in the design cycle.

But really, the comparison between Daikatana - a game that will have 4 episodes of single player gameplay, plus Deathmatch, with Q3, which is a full-on fragathon with no plot-based SP elements, is really idiotic.

They are different games, and each will appeal to different people. I know some very hardcore players who happened to LIKE Daikatana DM (at least as it was in the demo), and I know some who like the stuff Q3 has shown us so far.

The real comparison to be made is between UT and Q3, because, trust me, UT will give Q3 a run for its money.

Why is this article even worth discussing ?
it;s a comparison between Daikatana, which
the author HAS played, and Q3 which he hasn\'t
on planet Daikatana !!

it\'s just ludicrous Q3 bashing ... with some
\"well .. this part of Q3 was Okaaaaay\" \'s
in order to make it seem like a balanced
argument
wtf

I played the Diakatana DM demo and I liked it more then Q3A test. And right now I play more Team Fortress Classic then Q3A. That\'s just my taste. I\'m NOT saying Q3A sucks. There are just some really good games around to play right now.

DANIMAL! hehe.

I would like to play the daikatana demo And get a feel for it, but running at 1 fps on my crappy ati rage card made it hard. I heard it was wackykeen on the physics side, but never got a chance to feel firsthand. I saw some daikatana over qcon, and looks impressive, if the final AI is there. Some nice graphical effects and some brilliant weapons.
As for q3test, I personally dislike the railgun because I never could hit too much with it effectively. Not many \"on the move\" shots for me, but the weapon balance is nice. Rocket bounces, does damage, the spawning with 125 health thing is genious. I just wish the old fashioned BFG was back. Anyone who complained about getting fragged by it just failed to understand the weapon. Easy as hell weapon to dodge.

put all the physics and weapon behaviors in server-side cvars
that would own

Correction: \"need\" to be reminded

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, quite a few of you seem to be reminded of this...
You people really should get out more... you\'re making way to big of a deal over such an insignificant review.

I\'m just going to play r3-volt till either game is done. Track record predicts Q3A first. But its in contention with TF2 for release date. And im NOT going to compare them. That was just a statement.

p33ce.

DAIKATANA BETTER BE OUT BEFORE CHRISTMAS! OR WE\"RE COMING AFTER YOU AND YOUR DOG XCALIBUR

from the FAQ on planetdaikatana:

Daikatana is currently scheduled for a Summer of \'99 release.
It was originally expected to be released in December of 1997, however with the release of Quake2 and the licensed engine being released in December. Daikatana\'s release date was pushed back to around April, during the winter season. The Daikatana team has been porting over all of the levels,models, and other features that were created during the Quake engine period of the development.

#89, Dk started with the Q1 engine but then Q2 came out and they still werent close to release so they updated their tech to the q2 engine...same as valve with half-life...

this Daikatana vs. Q3A thing reminds me of the Half-Life vs. SiN debates.

Does anything need to be said about which game will be more sucessful?

He forgot one section

\"Release Date:
Since Daikatana will never be released, none of the so called \'nifty\' things I have said in this review will actually matter. As we speak, Daikatana has turned from \'vapor ware\' to \'ass ware\'. Since Q3 will be actually be released, and ppl will play it, I guess i will have to find a another webpage to move my ass to, and stop putting \'things\' in quotes.\"

I wonder how that section got cut from the \"review\" :)
