Painkiller returns in Painkiller Hell & Damnation
Nordic Games has just announced that Painkiller is coming back with Painkiller Hell & Damnation, promising "the most painful experience for Hell's demonic population since 2004." Hell & Damnation is going to remake the original People Can Fly classic using Unreal Engine 3, and will add new multiplayer elements as part of The Farm 51's intention to emphasize player skill. Aside from three in-progress screenshots, not a lot else has been revealed. Fortunately, the game will be shown off to select folks at E3, including Destructoid. I love me some Painkiller and I'll happily take more of it. Let's hope nobody screws it up. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)arrggh they have only done remake or lazy port lately. and I am not interested in a new game unless I am convinced a dev would do justice to the franchise. Painkiller is being fucked ever since the first one. Seriously, it seems a painkiller game is shit out every year. it would be nice to finally get a good one, though Hell yes. The original Painkiller was amazing, and getting back to that formula is a good foundation for making an actually GOOD sequel. 9:30 PM on 05.23.2013 Ragnarok Odyssey Ace journeys to PS3, Vita this winterRagnarok Odyssey Ace is making the journey west this winter for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
