Is it me or is movement all Unreal Tournament 3'y?

I guess they still have problems hiding the UE3 engine look and feel. I wonder if that will impact how the original game played?

[Demon Lizardman]

Looks like an updated version of the first painkiller, which is not a bad thing. Hopefully there will be more levels and include the levels that were in that Hell expansion. Loved the moon light glistening through the giant boss though, that looked wonderful. Might as well get it since I loved the first one.

[RelentlessRolento]

nice. Glad how it looks at this alpha state... srsly would love a XBLA release

[Grayman]

and will add new multiplayer elements as part of The Farm 51's intention to emphasize player skill.

didn't PK have a very high skill cap already? It was a commercial shooter with tiered armor pickups and skill based movement in 2004!

[Jiguryo]

Not a huge fan of the original, but it's cool to see them remaking the game. I might give it a second chance.

[bhlaab]

Painkiller sans PCF hasn't been a very good series of decisions so far. I'm not going to hold my breath for this to turn out decently.

[alexandros]

DAY FUCKING 1

Damn straight! I love Painkiller!

Got one, thank ye.

[The Mana Legend]

I bought all of the Painkiller games for $5 total and really need to finish the first one. It was so fun.

[vocab]

Nope. The original is fine. Do not want.

GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. This is why guys. PK was fast as fuck, and fluid. You had full air control. It was all momentum based.

I meant actual movement wise. I dunno, it feels like you have more "weight" whereas it was pretty smooth and floatier in Painkiller Black :P

[gabbre]

WTF, this is the first time I hear about it. After shitty expansions and sequels, this may be good. Love OG Painkiller.

[vocab]

God the texture pop in is so ass. Also, the netcode is ass without dedicated servers.

[scitek]

It's alright. Need to be able to invert aim so I can play properly. Took some screens with forced 2xSGSSAA

[JaseC]

Bloody hell, Eurogamer's password reset system at no point mentions your username, and, apparently, you can't log in using your e-mail address.

Well, it certainly looks and plays like Painkiller, but on a "heavier" engine, it does feel a bit sluggish. Doesn't seem like a major graphical update either.

Yeah, this might be beta but it doesn't feel right at all. And the texture pop in when you switch weapons is just shameless.

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

That's a shame. Pankiller had pretty good movement.

[ZoddGutts]

Doubt this will be good. Just get Hard Reset Extended Edition instead.

[Lactose_Intolerant]

The gun in the screen shots looks pretty bad even with the right textures.

[Boerseun]

Well this is pointless, isn't it? The original game is as playable today as it was when it came out. A focus on graphics, and Unreal Engine of all things (for THIS game??), can only do harm, in my opinion.

[Chacranajxy]

I'm actually playing the original game right now. It's fucking awesome.

But I have no hope for anything that's not made by PCF.

Oh, and this game is like 8 years old and still looks good... why the fuck does it need a remake? Other than because the game industry is apparently out of ideas.

Well, there are 3 possibilities what they can realistically do with Painkiller franchise:

- Can the IP and make no more games
- Release another shitty entry
- This

It is literally the best possible outcome.

[Jackpot]

Guess I was the only one who bought this. Wish I hadn't.

Took me only a day to complete and nearly all the best levels are gone. No army base. No bridge. Lots and lots of underground corridors and dark rooms though. They even put in maps from the first expansion pack.

Believe it or not the story is a direct continuation of the first one even though you're fighting the same enemies & bosses. Hope you all remember who Eve is (I didn't), except she looks like a man now. Voice acting is worse than the original.

Total waste of time. Whatever talent that was involved in the original is long gone.

[Stallion Free]

Damn, I was gonna pick this up on the super cheap for a co-op run with a friend, but I think I'll pass now.

Franchise should have died after the first game anyways. Everything after it was awful.

[ZoddGutts]

Just get Hard Reset: Extended Edition instead folks. It's only 15 bucks, 5 dollars cheaper than this Painkiller game.

[SirIgbyCeaser]

It doesn't look very different than it looked on Unreal engine 2 :/

Strange remake.

[Stallion Free]

The first game was not built on UE2.

[JRW]

Hell & Damnation looks a little better than Black edition but the control just doesn't feel as tight IMO, and of course there's the missing levels issue...

Hell & Damnation:


Black Edition:

[54-46!]

Hell & Damnation:

Did they put some filter on the weapons? it looks weird, like there's some white slime (hm) all over them.

[jaundicejuice]

Just shitty specular maps in all likelihood.

[JRW]

Doubt this will be good. Just get Hard Reset Extended Edition instead.

Agreed HR is a very good game indeed. I had a lot more fun with it vs. Hell & Damnation.
