Petition For Daikatana Sequel Started

Posted by simoniker on from the superfly-johnson-gonna-take-you-higher dept.

Thanks to Blues News for pointing to this online petition demanding a sequel to Daikatana. Reasons for wanting a follow-up to John Romero's infamous PC FPS include the fact that "Daikatana's former notoriety has left many people with a feeling of nostalgia for the days leading to the game's completion." Some of comments attached to the 37 current signatures also add insight, including Attila Houtkooper's comment - "Daikatana has changed my life, I need Daikatana 2 to change it back the way it was!"

    If we are going to talk about Looking Glass, I would MUCH rather see System Shock 3..

  2. Re:Anti-petition by Shoggoth+of+Maul · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Indeed. There should never have been an Outpost 2, nor a Clock Tower 2, or Clock Tower 3, or an E.T., for that matter.

    Where is the John Romero we knew? The Doom 2 John Romero whom you could grovel in front of (and then shoot with your rocket launcher)?

    I think what motivates these nostalgic people mentioned in the article is that same college-years nostalgia that causes people to watch Xanadu and Dagon.

    Or rather, "Face It, We Love Crap"
