We can only hope it's true, seeing it on steam does give some hope though.
The panikiller forums have been a complete ghost town, it's almost as if it isn't happening.

Can't wait, preordered it today so i got all the other Painkiller games as well, Painkiller: Resurrection is the actual sequel to Painkiller, the others were just expansions/stand-alone expansions, so this one is going to rock.

Sounds interesting but to me PK was never much more then a different quake though so I never go into it. If there is a DM game used in pro competition it will be this one for at least a year. The new Casle Wolfenstein will probably be the Team game that replaces TF2 on competitive circuits.

yeah thats exactly right, the thing is there's not ever really going to be another new DM game with advanced teqniques like bunnyhopping rocket jumping etc, thats why i'm so excited for this.

Loved the original game and the first expansion but never really got into the multiplayer part, partly because of the lacking movements part. Hoping this will be better since I did a preorder :mrgreen:

Played the demo today and its complete trash, in fact it didnt even seem like the demo was finished at all.
Not holding out much hope now for this game.

I don't know where the video is coming from, but I was able to run a Mp server via the demo and it didn't work good.
Granted it said it was WIP and by the way it ran that was a understatement, but I was kinda baffled as to why the dev would even release such a POS demo.
The experience I had led me to believe the demo was an example of where the dev was at with the game and his skills seem lacking.
I can only hope the final product is nothing like the demo and will be fun to play.

I should add one other thing pain killer as a game hinged it's entire success on one stroke of luck. The CPL was in its prime and DM gaming was giving out the most money ever at that time when they ran PK through smart negotiation with the PK dev team. If it was not for that PK would not have made anyone blink. That explains why their later expansions did not really get much attention since Q4 had replaced it. So the big question is now that there is very little if any money in 1v1 DM will this game even have anything going for it? I would not preorder for this game I would definitely wait and see unless you are a PK fan and know you are going to buy it no matter what.

The final version of the game is just as broken and F'ed up as the demo was, no one should buy this game until its fixed as its totally unplayable.

After this game and several others of late being released in a total BS condition I am starting to get mad at Valve/Steam for selling them even though they did not produce them. I think in order to be sold on steam the game should be tested and proven to be playable by Valve or it doesn't go up for sale there. I would not mind waiting for how ever long it took to get a working game and think that Steam could become known as a place where only good/properly running games are sold, a buy with confidence type of place if you will.

Agreed, I only managed to play the mp version for a minute or two before crashing to desktop. "Fatal Error" anyone?
