Apparently not.

Nice vague title, I thought there would be some impressions.

They took out the military base and the bridge? The fuck? Those were some of the best levels.

I'm gonna start playing now and fuck it I know I'm gonna love this game.

So it plays worse than the original, has less content than the original and even looks worse than the original. What was the point of this remake?

 

[Raptomex]

I forgot about this.

Make some money - from whom never played the original, I guess.

Port a fast and fluid game onto the UE3 and you get a muddy, and ugly looking game. I personally think the original holds up extremely well and runs at 1080p and 125 fps.

Well, it doesn't look worse.

But it's funny that the dev's old leader just posted an article mentioning if pretty graphics were stipped away from your project could you justify your game's existence or are the graphics being used as a crutch?

I haven't touched any of these awful, non-PCF Painkiller expansions/sequels.

Every time one comes out, it hurts me. "NEW PAINKILLER?! Oh... it's crap."

Sounds bizarrely similar to the Xbox port, Hell Wars. That was missing the bridge, I remember.

Don't know if they highlighted this in a trailer or something, but it's Painkiller Hell & Damnation as in Painkiller HD, geddit?
