Daikatana GONE GOLD!
Steve Gibson
379
Baked not fried! I got an email earlier today from Gussboy with a quote from John Romero stating that Daikatana has indeed finally gone gold. Being the skeptic about this situation I contacted a few places and it is indeed true. DAIKATANA HAS GONE GOLD. (VE also got confirmation) On top of that, word from GameSpot has a playable demo with single player and DM maps . Here is a recap covering all the levels in the game:

Episode1: [screenshots] [shot2] [shot3] [shot4] [shot5] [shot6] [shot7] [shot8]
Episode2: [screenshots] [shot2] [shot3] [shot4] [shot5] [shot6] [shot7] [shot8]
Episode3: [screenshots] [shot2] [shot3] [shot4] [shot5] [shot6] [shot7] [shot8]
Episode4: [screenshots] [shot2] [shot3] [shot4] [shot5] [shot6] [shot7] [shot8]

Each of the three maps can be played in Single-Player, Deathmatch and Cooperative mode. There are two extra Deathmatch maps, one is a new and improved version of the Gibbler on the Roof map from last year's MPlayer Deathmatch Demo. The other map is a Dark Ages castle/arena (it does NOT have the Nharre's Nightmare weapon on the map if you go looking for it).

If you've played the demo, please tell us how it is in the comments. Also, to run a dedicated server try using the -dedicated +set public 1 command line, then try a map like e3dm2. Thanks Planetdaikatana. Here are some mirrors you can download the files from: (Thanks Blues)
