Daikatana News
by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 12, 2000 3:48pm PDTBeen much to long since we've heard about this game (I believe it was this morning :P). Gwog from over at Planet Daikatana let us know about a Daikatana update on Gone Gold. Well guess what, it still ain't done (the shock!).
Right now they're going over the game, fixing little things here and there and basically polishing the game. The US version is not gold, contrary to some reports, but close to it. They are sticking to the plan of getting all localized versions done and having an almost simultaneous release. And when would that be? They hope to have it out just before E3 (May 11-13th)Something tells me if they still aren't done, need to get all localized versions done for a simultaneous release, I don't see it appearing before E3. But hey, we can hope! For what, I dunno.

Should I kick you while you're down?
Nah, I'll let you get back up, then kick you right back down. :)
Come see how dumb Rattboy is (he's UTSD3DSUCKS on the GT Games UT Forum...that right there should be a big insight into his character...)

What's sad is, when Daikatana comes out, and those of you who can't resist flaming it now realize it's actually a good game, you won't have the balls to come back here and admit that you were an ass! Romero & Co have no interest in changing your minds, or proving anything to you. If you end up not liking Daikatana once it's out, then that's your prerogative.

sweet tapdancing christ!
what a dumb game. the AI on those spiders looks horrid. okay, okay, you're right, they're a low-level monster and therefore pretty dumb overall. but still. think back to the headcrab in half life. that was the lowest monster in the game(aside from those wormy things in the water) and they still had some decent AI! Okay, it was basically, stand somewhere, scurry towards player, leap on player's face...but still, it rocked. the spiders in this daik video pretty much use the "walk-through-door-get-hit-die" AI algorithm. good job johnny boy!
this looks to be nothing more than another-lame-ass-single-player-game-with-nothing-new.
prove me wrong romero.

Picture in your mind 10, P2-450's with a lot of ram. All connected to a T1 or a T3. Now picture 50 or 60 or even 100 Daikatana servers running on them. Not a pretty picture.
And then to top it off. This is what really blew my mind. Remember the little snafu about the demo not rotating to the second map? Who here even got to play the second map online?
And I thought they had people test the demo before it was released too?
yet I don't count on it for some reason

And don't say it's because SoF is the better game; no one has played Daikatana yet...
-- declining interest
-- gross incompetence at ION
-- deception by ION about "finishing"
-- outdating of Dyke's tired old grafix engine
-- the publication of KC's biggest virtues

Write a cron job that posts a Daikatana Not Done! story once every three days. You're guarenteed to fill the comments with people making fun of Ion/Romero, with plenty of ad impressions to go with them.
Or have you done that already? :)
Oh yeah, and ultralazer...you're a hypocrite.

DAIKATANA SUX
If they release it simultaneously around the world, then each town idiot will buy the game, thinking that it will be great. Word will spread quickly, about how shitty the game really is, so Ion Storm must sell as many copies as possible before the word hits the internet.

This game is'nt all that much different then Hexen2. On about the same level actually. And when was Hexen2 released?

I think it looks fun, but it also looks dated.
I suspect the network code will be crap when it first
comes out, just a guess though. However, I'd also bet
that the Killcreek Playboy spread will be released shortly
after the Daikatana release (by coincidence of course).
welcome to a new level of lame-ness
