No Daikatana for X-Mas -- 7:59 pm CST, Update by The Master

Now, I know EVERYONE is surprised by this one, but according to Blue's, Ion Storm missed shipping Daikatana for the X-Mas holiday. Well, I can't say I'm surprised since their publisher wouldn't have a snowballs' chance in heck of getting that sucker pressed in time. Maybe next century John Romero?

A.T. Hun comments: If Daikatana turns out to be the great game that Romero thinks/dreams/imagines it is, the real tragedy will be that it may go down as the best game no one bought and as one of the most catastrophic failures in gaming history. You'd better believe that publishers are going to be a LOT tighter with the purse strings than they were before. Unfortunately that also means more half-baked, almost-completed, needing-15-patches games out there.

If you are bored you can check out an interview with his hirsuteness (Romero) at CheckOut Games.
