Dn Forever Today's Daikatana? 2011-06-19 00:00:43 Reply

The parallels are striking, and the similarities are so obvious that I wonder why no one has brought this up before.

Both games are ultra-aggressive, over the top, "macho" first person shooters, with an emphasis on 'splosions, gore, and the objectification of women. Both feature gameplay derivative of the standard shooter of the period they were released in. Both were massively hyped and massively delayed, with vasts sums of money put into advertising, which primarily focused on how "awesome" and "genre defying" each game would be. However, when finally released, each game proved to be a considerable disappointment, with both graphics and gameplay showing themselves to be obviously dated and lackluster compared to their less exposed FPS brethren.

In the end, both games will be fondly remembered as stunning examples of what not to do in the design and marketing of a videogame. It goes to show just how much of a negative effect frequent delays and developer shifts can have on the overall quality of a game, and how a subpar product can leave an incredibly bitter taste in the collective mouth of gamers everywhere when promoted as being blockbusting masterpieces.

It's a very ignorant thing people comparing these games, Daikatana was GREATLY behind tis time using incredibly ages game engines and graphics etc. DNF's engine and play isn't old.
