Daikatana E3 trailer 1997

Daikatana E3 trailer from 1997, when the game was still running on the old Quake engine. The absence of colored lighting and 3d accelerated graphics quickly led to the adoption of id Tech 2 which delayed the game that was supposed to be released by the end of 1997.

Notice how the trailer shows only level architecture, not any actual gameplay. Looks like some Quake 1 mod to me. The background music is pretty good though.

@daEmoNicky its not the video, the actual e3 presentation was this laggy

I Seriously think they should of sticked with the Quake 1 Engine and not Delay the Game countless times. But now Romero Fucked Up and we got the Shitty/Buggy unplayable Daikatana. I can't get even pass the first fucking level :P just saying

@Zeanu Tom hall left not because of motivations, but rather because he was frustrated since nobody wanted to do another keen game

@Btushinsky83 It wasn't their intent to delay the game, Romero simply was dumb with hiring completely the wrong people. That said, Romero claims the delays were due to having to "remake" all the content for the Quake 2 engine which is complete bullshit as pretty much everything they had created initially when they were working on the Quake engine was quite easily ported over to the Quake 2 engine.

Why video lags so much? Thanks. :)

now John Romero makes mobile phone games... A FITTING PUNISHMENT

[Zeanu]

Oh John, you could've still been a major part of id if you hadn't let your ego do the talking... XD

And Tom Hall? Well... I dunno, dude seems a bit mysterious in his motivations.
