Painkiller Leak Just a Demo

There are 12 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by Bhaal.

    A recently released leaked version of Dreamcatcher's Painkiller, advertised as an pre-alpha, should be avoided, according to developers since it is by far inferior to the demo which will be released in February.


    The first week of the year has seen leaked versions of games popping up all over the web, with versions of STALKER, World of Warcraft and Painkiller now available over IRC and P2P networks.


    While the Painkiller release was considered to be a pretty recent version of the game, with information pointing to November of 2003 as its date of origin, Dreamcatcher, the game's publisher, is downplaying the significance of the leak claiming it is an early press build, created purely for demonstration purposes.


    Painkiller, advertised as a First Person High Adrenaline Shooter, is expected in Q2 of 2004 for the PC and XBox and while the leak contains 3 single-player and 2 multi-player maps, Dreamcatcher insist that it is an inferior version of the game, lacking the depth, choice of weapons and levels as well as the AI sophistication which will make-up Painkiller the game.


    If that is so and considering the positive comments from the people who have managed to try the playable parts of the leak, then this incident can only raise our anticipation for the finished product, even further.

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    im with ave...i got bored very quickly by this game...seems rather too much like serious sam. i like my FPS either with some kinda coherent plot (ie hl, CoD), or just ridiculus fast paced action, like the best of them all - Unreal Tournament

    the best is Q3 but nvm

    as i always say...(but not here b4)


    Q3 is for ppl who cant cope with a secondary fire mode ;) (no offence OP)


    I tried it, i owned after about 5 mins, it looked shit...i gave up.


    UT rules forever. and thank god 2k4 isnt on the same scales as 2k3 in terms of sacrilege

    UT is for people who can't move fast, can't jump walls and wanna hide thier kills behind secundary fire mode :P

    ur right nitro (i start to like you ^-^)


    bhaal... there are 2 kind of people... those guys who need hightech-weapons and those guys who take a knife and kill 100 ppl without a problem


    so IF you need a 2nd firemode...ok
    but i will do it with just 1... and there u can see who has real skill


    ohh and like nitro said... Q3 is for ppl that like it fast and with much more action [50]

    Oh, and don't forget Teamarena, with the new weapons introduced there. Two new ones (nailgun and minelayer) and one from Q2 (gatling gun :D). The nailgun is wonderful for close range kills, a bit more powerful than the shotgun, and the nails have a larger range.
    The minelayer is mainly a defensive weapon - just pop out a few mines, stick them on the wall or ceiling, and an enemy will be shred to pieces :D. Oh, you can also stick some on your enemy, there's no way of getting out of it, just wait till the internal combustion :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
    And the gatling gun - I would have bought the extention teamarena just for that. The devestating power from it.... I missed it in Q3 when it came out. But the extention made it all right again. Stand behind a wall, start shooting when the enemy passes by, and before he/she can react, it's another kill for you :D

    yeah... second fire mode is nothing else than a another weapon. q3 has evrything u need. long range with high damage. fast fire. short range with high damage.
    there is nothing faster than q3... UT2k3 and 2k4 became more slower than original UT ( which i like very much)
    and painkiller has too big levels? so what about 2k3 :-/ so it it lost even a bit more speed cos of the size of the levels...


    btw. u ever tried to grab a zombie with the painkiller throw him into the air and pinned him on a ceiling?? :D


    i dunno how often i played the demo ( nearly every day :D).. but its fact that i´ll buy it.


    There are only 10 kind of people, those who understand binary and those, who don´t

    I wish, i had a shilling for every senseless killing

    Could CS be fun? No - would be cheating :D
    Making 4 Frags in UT is called "Ultrakill", in Q3A "Excellent" and in CS "kicked by console"

    first, in my defence i never said 2k3 or 2k4 were as good as UT. infact 2k3 isnt a game...its a piece of art...which is not wat it should b. 2k4 is better tho...more back to the original pace, but not quite there.


    well, i guess UT was the first FPS i ever played seriously (yeh i got in a bit late there) so i guess im just a fan of that. watever u say wont make me like quake ;)


    incidentally...knifing ppl? try telefragging for a hobby ;) also i no nothing quite as worrying as the sound of an impact hammer just over ur left shoulder
    **shudders**


    jumping? hmmm double jump sucks ass. double tap dodging all the way :)


    and then, if u really want the ultimate...just go to instagib ;)


    we r two rather oppinionated ppl in this OP, so i guess we'll have to agree to disagree :D


    incidentally...wen did this thread get taken over by UT vs Q3?


    ah


    oops
