I just finished Painkiller and it was cool… though not as great as many people make out.
(the shurikens and lightning gun was a big disappointment – but the rocket launcher and minigun gun made up for it)

The pacing is all over the place though. (first few levels were dull as ditchwater). And the “pick up souls” mechanic almost ruins the game.
Some parts were great though.

This looks like a amateur game with surprosing chesssy gameplay (thats a bonus :-) and some variety on it.
It will help the game, if on release is more “solid”. Less amateur.

I’m liking this so far, we haven’t had a good old school shooter for a while, hopefully this’ll fill that hole.

Bhazor: In a word, pacing.

The best part of Painkiller for me was the environments. Some crazy shit architecture going on.

I’m not seeing anything like that here so sadface time.

Oh you’re no fun. Though I would be interested in why you think Serious Sam is a better game (ignoring graphical differences).

Well, at least your dreams don’t end with you glitching into a wall.

Doom 64 is sometimes considered to be the true Doom 3 by Doom fans.

geez, you have some strange dreams. 200 armors are obviously red, not golden.

Reminds me of the odd dream like sections of Psychotoxic, but better.

At the very least, it’s refreshing to see a woman as the shooter in a FPS.
And the Trailer really brought back memories of Serious Sam, and that game was good. It would be nice to have acoop mode, but I doubt there will be.
