Its interesting to me that when all those rumors were flying about Jade of A.C. fame was doing a playboy shoot, she became offended at the suggestion that she would do it. Something about being a professional and her worth being about the games she helps create.
Stevie Case, now....
Hmm.
This is what is so great about Daikatana. What's the wrong answer for "Why does Daikatana suck?"
THERE ISN'T ONE!
You can point at pretty much anything having to do with its development and find sadness.
Let's get one thing straight: I would put my penis in Ion-Storm-era Stevie Case. But if we post more pictures of her this thread will be a ranger thread and will get locked.
I'm actually surprised it's still on the first page. I'm actually considering tracking down a retail copy of Daikatana (hopefully it will work on my machine) so I can actually play it. Or maybe I'll do a LP for BattleCruiser 3000AD.

Because I hate myself.
If you do an LP for BattleCruiser, you will bring His Wrath upon us all. That never ends well.

Edit: also, camera pans down from Stevie's face, focuses on her boobs, than pans back up. In mid-interview, while she's talking about level design. The filmer is just saying "Mmhm, mmhm," while she's talking. Easily the most misogynistic thing I've seen this year.
It seems that he may had panned down to look at her hand gestures, but I like the idea that it was just to see her breasts more.
I think he was trying to get the hand gestures because of the "sense of scale", but the way he aborts halfway through is definately suspect, even though it must be somewhat difficult to work at such a close zoom.
I downloaded it from Gametap, put it on the hardest difficulty, and died after the first enemy. No great loss, I only watched like 30 seconds of each cutscene, they were so terrible.

I think that the saddest part is if John Romero would have just said
"I'm sorry guys, Daikatana got out of control. The game was a trainwreck by the time we hit release. We'd been working on it for so long and had so much invested that we didn't want to call it quits, so we just pushed through and the end result was a bad game. It was a really cool idea that I had, and we thought it would make a good game, but it turns out that the idea just doesn't translate well to the PC game medium. Let us consider this a lesson to any game developer who is afraid to can a project that is obviously not going to end up as a good game.
Also, to make it up to you, I'd like to announce we're working on a new Deus Ex and a new Thief."
Then he probably would have made it out relatively unscathed, as opposed to being so damn cocky about how awesome his game was.
Yeah, I really think he's probably a decent game designer. He's just fucking awful at running companies and being put in power. If you read the Wikipedia article, it sounds like it mainly went wrong because he managed his team and the company in the worst way possible.
Edit: also, he may have what I like to call Reverse-Samson Syndrome. To put the syndrome in layman's terms: get a haircut, hippy -- your long hair is dragging you down.

No, he's a terrible game designer. If you watch the LP, you'll see that the problems with this game go way beyond budget or time constraints. It gets to the point where you're genuinely shocked when you see something that appears to be a good idea (and then you find out that they fucked it up anyway).
Ok, I am now on a mission. I want to play the worst that PC gaming has to offer (that my archaic system can handle). I'm running a Pentium 3 500MHz with 384MB RAM and a 16MB Rage! 128 (I mistakenly wrote a Rage! II in the op) running XP, but I can DosBox whatever won't run natively. Here is what I've got so far:
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing: 1GHz with 64MB RAM - So it's out.
Battlecruiser: 3000 A.D.: Pentium 60 with 8MB RAM and SVGA graphics - It's doable
Daikatana: requires anywhere from Pentium 166MHz to 233MHz (depending on if you look at the box or the FAQs), 32MB RAM, 4MB VRAM - Ok, in the clear here as well
Extreme Painbrawl: Pentium 90, 16MB RAM - Ok, this one's clear too
So, what other games should I put on the list, and more importantly, where can I find copies of them? Battlecruiser is the only one that was released freeware.

I've got the original Battlecruiser cd somewhere and while I got the game running a few times, figuring out what the hell to do after that is basically impossible. I saw a big round thing in space and I could launch small fighters and then it was over.

I figured out how to crash into a planet. I think that makes me an advanced player.

But that would have been a lie because what really happened is he was too busy playing geek rock star to work on the damn game.

That's about as far as I went too. After the sixth or seventh glob hopping around that I shot with confetti, I was out.
looks like shes getting ready to shit im just surprised romero isnt behind her to translate her taking a dump into gameplay mechanics.
Possibly NSFW
Better?
It was kinda fun too. I think.

Only if you have a Coke machine for an avatar.
You know, if there's never even been a Mortal Kombat photoshop of this, I might just lose all faith in the internet.
And a Battlecruiser LP would be so good.
I wanted to.
I also wanted to put it in Stevie Case.
But I didn't do that either.
One of these two things that I never did I am now happy that I never did it.
Who can guess.
This sounds like a line from the best text adventure ever.

I do not see "Stevie Case". Please rephrase.
You are in a deep dark forest. Possible Directions are North, South, and Romero.

Has anyone tried... re-making Daikatana somehow? To make it less painful?
I thought about it, using the Source Engine. But never got to it.
It'll be like Shadow Warrior, only shitty.

Just played the demo, killed some bugs, killed some frogs, dodged a turret of sorts and punched a crocodile ...thing... in the face.
Then it crashed!
That was the best part.
