Daikatana Article

"We've been ambushed right and left, so Eidos wants the game to speak for itself."

Again Eidos shows it's ability to do something supid...

Eidos sucks. 99% of the games they've published have sucked. :)

I need to upgrade my computer... and I have about $1000 max to spend.
I am thinking to get:

Case: enlight 7237 Mid tower ATX w/250W 12amp
CPU: Intel Pentium III 650 Slot1 w/256k L2 cache
Motherboard: Abit BE6-2
128MB PC 133 SDRAM DIMM
Video card: Asus 6600 Deluxe

Questions:
1. Is Asus 6600 Deluxe a 2D/3D card? If not which one is a good and cheap one to get?
2. Can the motherboard handle 128 MB PC100 ... eh... ram?
3. Can you think of a better selection?

will shack 2.0 be able to filter news items as well?

cause i really really don't want to hear ANYTHING daikatana. ever.

why do so many people think romero is so great?...quake1 single player BLEW and most of the things people like about q1 dm were not things that were planned....doom might have been cool for its time, i dont know, but i played it after i had played quake and thought it was pretty lame...

Heh... people are asking why Daikatana isn't on the list. :)

I can't wait to play Daikatana on my new Bitboys card using the Powerplay netcode included in TF2!

Check out this screenshot:

Look at the head on that skeleton in the front. Pathetic. Thief2 has better models than this, and is probably twice the game that this will be.

I wrote a damn good opinion on the Q3A Gone Gold thread on Daikatana...

Daikatana might never go gold. Hell Best Buy thought it did over a month ago and it still hasn't come out!!! I scrolled through the strategy guide at Best Buy and I have to say that I'm already a little disappointed in this game. It has a max of like 100 polys per frame. Unreal has a max of 200 and Q3A's is 2000 polys max, for reference. Dk = big square, rectangle, triangle, blocky environments. This game looks more like Quake than Quake 2. I'm not impressed at all with it. I mean a mountain looks like a slightly slanted wall coming from the ground then divided by one line by an even more slated wall going all the way up to the map cube boundaries of the game so you can't see any father away from where you are. Pathetic if you ask me. DK truly = vaporware if I ever saw a game that matched that description. What makes things worse is that Half-Life and Heretic 2 look a lot better than this pile of crap. Basically what IÂ’m trying to say is that for you to look at those two games and see how they made mountain cliff then go back and see DKÂ’s you'll see the difference. I implore anyone who is thinking about buying this game to go to their local game store and take a look at the strategy guide. It really does look like shit and that ought to be the last word on this subject. I truly hope no one posts a comment when it does go gold. It would signify thatÂ’s noneÂ’s interested in their game anymore and that ought to freak the Ion Storm people out really good. :) However, IÂ’d imagine the Pentium 100mhz people will really enjoy the frame rates of this game on their PC. :)

ambushed huh.....?

No Daikatana thread would be complete without a link to this:

Sure, it's getting old. But it's tradition. ;-)

(has 256 megs of 133 bus ram) awwwww yeah

The game been featured in a mainstream, national newspaper.

Daikatana will go gold tomarrow.

I once knew a man with a wooden leg named Dykeatuna.

The Romero loves and protects me. He calls me his peach.

I am going to the shop in a 2 hours... please tell me what you think...

In a strange turn of events, we have learned that The Romero has indeed agreed to accept The Carmacks offer for his old job back at idsoftware. The Romero is expected to show up for work on 1ADK (1 year After Daikatanakus) to once again compliment The Carmacks coding ability with great game design genius.

Under the terms of the contract, The Romero will be required to pass a business course in time managment and must also leave the "Ho" at the bus station. It is not clear at this time wether or not The Romero is grateful for this renewed challenge, or reluctant to get back to work.

Stay tuned for more details!

i think im gonna start programming my own computer game

first i gotta learn how to program


im sure it will be done sooner than Daikatana though.
