Well this is pretty neat. I'm a big fan of the Painkiller games. Something inherently lovely about pinning things to walls with stakes.
Have the weapons make a bit more sense and keep the 6 story tall bosses and you've got gold.
Hopefully.

Great. Now too bad it'll never come to consoles because asking the majority of console players to even shoot and move at the same time may as well be asking them to never buy your game.
Sorry for being a dick, I just spent years of my life waiting for the next truly fast paced FPS to hit consoles, and it never fucking came (sans some downloadable titles that died a few months after release, leaving you with a $20 game you can't even play anymore).

@tekbunny And see, the weapons were part of the charm for me. I wish they could make them even more ridiculous. Maybe a cannon that shoots Faberge egg grenades powered by the souls of aborted babies.
Is that why snap-to aiming and cover based shooters do so well on consoles as opposed to PCs? I guess that actually makes a bit of sense.
Time to pick up a little more on PC gaming if you can one red, that seems to be where your interests are... aimed at? Eh? Eh? See what I did there?

I gave up on this series years ago. I loved the first game, but everything after has been utter shit. At this point the IP has been driven so far into the ground it's more likely to make people avoid a game.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the over the top weapons, but some combos just didn't make sense to me like the steak/nade launcher or the mini gun/rocket launcher. If they switched some up or added a few I think it would go a long way. The painkiller is easily one of the baddest ass weapons in a game just for the fact that I can juggle bodies in the air.

@tekbunny Ah, I see what you mean now. Yeah,some combos did seem awkward. If they fleshed that out a bit it and kept the over the top feel and added more insane bosses I will be a happy camper.

Nope, consoles never got SS3. Much to my displeasure :(
We do have TFE and TSE, though (plus the original games on Xbox). Fucking love Sam.

Yeah, people think shooters got big on consoles because they were violent and instantly gratifying and all that, but shooters were always that way. They got huge when games like Halo 2 made shooters so simple that anyone could pick them up. Plodding characters and huge auto aim made it impossible for people to miss.
How do you make a shooter sell eve more than Halo? Make it so that you only have to move or aim accurately, but never at the same time, and make people drop in 3-4 body shots. It's all about making players think they're better than they are through clever game design.
Also yeah, I want to get into PC shooters bad (once I can get another gaming comp, and I don't have the cash for it). It's just that I really do love twin-stick, and I think it gets such an ass rap. There were/are people who are amazing players with twin stick, it's just real hard to be good at it.
@Jinx
Did it? If yeah, do you know if it has a fairly decent community?

You just smashed my small glimmer of hope that it came to consoles.
*balls up fists in agony*

The only Painkiller worth playing is the first game. Even the expansion was horrid. They really need to give up and move on.
SS3 is *coming* to consoles, but not till later this year. My bad, thought it was already out by now. If it's like the PC version it will have 16 player co-op and 4-player split-screen. I hate controllers for FPS games, but I'll deal if I can play split-screen. Just gotta turn of despicable cheating auto-aim.
Nice! Thanks Jinx!
I'd be surprised if they managed the 16 person co-op (or 4 player split screen, for that matter). But here's hoping!

@King Sigy: Unlike most of the games that followed the first 3, this is a new engine, assets and that. Find a demonstration video such as, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnFDg4E80EE, and see whether you change your mind. I like the look of this, even though I doubt I'll go beta it for them.
@Feriqoiera:
I watched a bit of that footage. It looks EXACTLY like the original game. Same monsters (monks with axes & knights are straight ripoffs), same guns, same settings, same exploding props, same breakables with gold coins, same HUD layout even. I even think I saw one of the same bosses. Just because they ported it to a different engine doesn't mean they didn't rip-off assets, or remake the same stuff. Not promising.

I'm sure there's a joke somewhere about how this franchise seems to refuse to die, despite being on their fifth developer or something now.
