Daikatana on Steam [Oct 02, 2013, 09:35 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Daikatana is now available
on Steam, offering the
chance to check out the shooter and be The Romero's bitch for just $6.99 (though
it's been cheaper: the game was free for a while years
ago on GameTap). The sci-fi game
featuring a magical sword and a pair of AI sidekicks was intended as the
flagship title from ION Storm, an honor which turned out to be shared by Deus
Ex and Anachronox, but the game seems to be in witness protection, as
no developer is listed. Thanks nin.
Had this game been released with the second generation of shooters, it would have been deemed pretty decent. The fact that it showed up during the 3rd generation of shooters, after the likes of Half-Life, System Shock 2, and Unreal made this game a real stinker.
HL had a better story and gameplay.
SS2 had WAY better RPG elements and a better story.
Unreal had WAY better AI, gameplay, and even it's story was better.
All of these games were released at least a year before Daikatana, and the hype that all of these had prior to their releases could not have added up to nearly a quarter of the hype Romero way pumping.
The extreme amount of hype for this game, combined with the previous generation's gameplay/AI is what crushed this game
