The gameplay video doesn't look that bad. I'm ok with it being an oriental Painkiller clone. At least it's not a hide behind cover, cinematic kind of shooter. But i don't like that they decided to tone down the campy the feel of the original game, "ditch the sexism" etc. And why they did transform Lo Wang into a young douchebag? why is he speaking with an american accent? What's the point of doing a remake if you're planning to lose the atmosphere of the original.

Annoying asshole plays the first 30 minutes of the game with a gamepad, like a douche:



If you hate cutscenes you're going to hate this, but other than that it looks decent to me.

Looks not bad, but that idiot with a microphone made it unbearable.

Absolute garbage, pretty much the standard franchise rape I was expecting,
"Hey guys we have a katana!! Let's call it Shadow Warrior!!!"

Extremely small fight areas were what killed most of Hard Reset for me, and I've heard similar things about jarringly sectioned off arenas in Painkiller. It looks like they're doing it again, except this time it looks like the weapons might be kind of fun to use.

Some people seem to think this is "old school." You go from one large room to another killing 100 enemies in each while strafing your ass off constantly.

Personally I remember Doom, Quake and the rest being more involved, but whatever.

looks like hot garbage, hearing that mongoloid mash on that gamepad while flailing around uncontrollably was the icing on the cake.

painkiller was an awesome game, what the fuck happened to these guys?

I skipped into 5 random places. Two were cutscenes, one had nothing, one had some retardo 'character screen' or whateverthefuck and one had Lo Wang yelling 'what the fuck is going on in here!' like a 20-years-old kwan douchebag.

I hope the people who made this garbage get a sudden unexpected visit from a barechested asian man with a white goatee.

Not sure why everyone is shocked or upset. In a time where we have Anita Sarkeesian, RPS, and other white knighters, do you think that devs are going to make a politically incorrect game? This industry is still immature and things like the original Shadow run won't be tolerated. So in a nut shell the game is going to be like Rise of the triads, a big disappointment.

This is at least more close to Shadow Warrior than DNF was to Duke.

Except for the political correctness of the latter.

Lost all interest in this POS after I found out they weren't going to the use the same atmosphere.

Divinity: Original Sin


Enter room/area -> Kill everything -> Rinse -> Repeat

Yup, that's definitely a game made by the Painkiller devs.
