The shuriken gun always had me wondering if the fellas at PCF didn't play a lot of WH40K.
If you liked this, give Will Rock a try if you can find it. Though I'm guessing you already have.
The only real gripe I have with this version is that they _did_ re-introduce some of the original levels that were cut out, but as part of DLC packages. And the salt in the wound comes from the official response from Nordic, being -We realised that $20 was too low a price point for the base game, so all DLC is $7 extra. -

My favorite levels are from the original game and it's add-on levels. In this version they are changed up enough to make me feel uncomfortable. My fav levels: The Town, Train Station and the final level with the time stopped. From the add-on I really like the Orphanage and the Carnival stages. There was also a weird bridge in the original game. I wish they'd just take the levels, weapons, story and systems from the original game and put them on PS3. I'm not fond of the changes.
Have you played You Are Empty?

yes, that's exactly the answer i expected. to be honest i first played it through myself and watched your video after. i think it is better, trying out games myself to get a proper picture of the game! and to be honest, i was also a big fan of the first episode, but then P. C. F. sold this TM, and yes, after that the series got worse. much worse! and yes, this does look pretty like a HD remake. but to be honest, i missed so maps in this new version which ones i enjoyed in the first part.

as i see, unfortunately nothing is new except the menus and the textures. and the videos are different because of the storyline. but this game is pretty weak. it's just a mixture of the really first pankiller and it's expansion battle out of hell.
i liked the original much more! also this new version has a lot of bugs.
almost nothing has changed with this version, only the graphics got better. but ex. the physics model and maps are the same. oh, and most of the weapons.

If I remember correctly, and I could be totally wrong, but the creator of the game actually picked the name of the game because of Judas Priest. I remember reading in a magazine that he thought -Painkiller- sounded like a badass name for a game, not realizing that a painkiller is really just an aspirin, LOL! Apparently, he looked it up on the internet, and the first thing that came up was Judas Priest's Painkiller, so he was like -It's perfect! - and the name stuck.

interesting, this game went totally under my radar! This is the kind of game I play when I'm feeling like a teenager. I call it Duke mode because Duke 3D was the first game like this that I discovered when I was 13. I would love to see Duke 3D remade, same maps, same everything, just with a graphics makeover so that the enemies look as good as they do in this game. I'd be totally happy playing the same game but with prettier graphics.

Well, expecting more seems kind of futile since that's exactly how HD remakes tend to go. The same game, just with better graphics, newer hardware compatibility, and maybe some slight gameplay tweaks. It delivered exactly what I wanted, which is Painkiller but with a fresh coat of paint. Hopefully this is successful so a proper sequel makes financial sense.

Interesting decision for a remake. Eve looks like she's in her late 40s, eternal or otherwise; not sure if that's deliberate. Also, giant bosses look awesome but something the size of a skyscraper dying from anything less than a nuclear bomb? That's a pretty dated concept. Also, chain links the size of buses just disappear as they hit the ground.

the painkiller weapon behaves differently. speeds on some enemies are different, bunnyhop is sort of broken. you cant turn off/on action music, you can't swap between weapon modes, no shortcuts. quite bad for someone who played painkiller more hardcore. interesing that Dan remembers the events of previous painkiller. =D

Being an Old school FPS fan, This is a must have for me. I really liked the level and enemy variation. My favorite level was the Asylum for its sudden change of mood and the enemies that reside in that mental place ( With the restraining jackets and all. Which level did you liked the most, Clint?
