The Romero
by Steve Gibson, Dec 16, 1999 4:04pm PSTIt's John Romero day! You too can be John's bitch. Check out the new interview with the Ion Storm designer leading up Daikatana, as well as hop in a chat later tonight (5pm PST) with the developeres of Daikatana. Thanks DKHQ. Here is The Romero on what makes Daikatana different:
Well, Daikatana is definitely very different than Quake III and Unreal Tournament as they are multiplayer-only games and Daikatana is a single-player game with multiplayer included. As for single-player shooters, Daikatana is really different in the fact that you travel with two sidekick characters through four different time periods within a large story. It's not your typical, basic shooter or team-based/mission-based shooter either. It's mostly an action adventure.

Hell, H2 went so far as to rewrite the physics system.
my guess is they didnt do much.
\"At least as good as SiN\"
LOL!!!
hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Geee, lets think, SiN is really a mediocre game. Half-Life destroyed it in all aspects. I think you should rethink that statement you just made :)
I know everybody likes to shit on Romero, but after all, this is the guy who invented all the weapons and monsters for our old favorites and using the Q2 engine(like HalfLife) means it will at the very least run good.
I don\'t think it will topple Q3 or UT, but what the hell do I know? HalfLife is considered to be such a great game and yet I never was impressed with it.
I think Romero\'s game has potential. It\'s a shame his programming staff boned him halfway through...
hang on a second
