Daikatana Never Was Gold, But Soon? -- 4:39 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

As if things couldn't get any wackier over at ION Storm, Billy W. at VoodooExtreme sent email to John Romero himself about the status of Daikatana. Here's Billy's summary:

Regardless of anything that you may have seen (or hell, even kind of what we hinted at in a post late yesterday), I just spoke with Ion's John Romero regarding the release of Daikatana and apparently they have not sent out a gold master candidate that was rejected -- he went on to say "we're very close to creating our first one" (almost redundant there, but if they haven't created their first one yet, I think it's safe to say that they haven't actually sent one out yet). So, all sounds good still, maybe we'll see a gold announcement soon. Thanks for clearing the air John!

Soooooo, all the rumors about Daikatana being gold were apparently false, thus there was no gold master for Eidos to reject. The long and the short? Christmas is about two weeks away and Daikatana still isn't gold.
