Painkiller Multiplayer Demo
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 14, 2004 7:00am PDTDreamCatcher Games has finally released a multiplayer demo for Painkiller, following the two single player demos and the retail release of the game several months ago. The 137mb demo comes with two maps, two game modes, four player skins and all the updates from the recent 1.3 retail patch.
A new patch for the full version of the game is available as well, updating v1.3 to v1.3.1. The incremental update fixes a bug involving the loading of a saved game.

It seems the demo has a wrong setting by defaut. In the config file (/bin/config.ini) make sure the setting Cfg.NewPrediction = true and does NOT = false. It helps.

Horrible man just Horrible
5 fps with everything turned off and at 640x480 resolution.
Literally, it's like playing in slow-motion.
In Q3 I can get ~120 fps easily :(

multiplayer is dumb as hell, join one of the many servers with zero ping and have a nice low ping... but wait its laggy as shit, what a waste of time.
btw im on cable and i tried about five servers.

Super slow gameplay and boring ass arrow shooting the whole time.
It could be fun, MAYBE, if everyone on the game servers would play MELEE like I asked. The melee weapon feels and sounds cool.
But really, the only other cool thing about this demo is the funny ass NVIDIA brand logo/animation before the menu comes up...
HAHA.

This game is like Quake 1 with all the fun sucked out of it : -(
The architecture is interesting in the maps. It has a "gloomy" atmosphere. Player skins are crappy grey blobs.
Weapons feel flimsy. They just suck.
Netcode - With 22 ping it feels like QuakeWorld. Weird netcode issues.
With the atmosphere in the game it seems like it might be fun for 5 hours of single player - But not in one sitting. And not for $50.

For a moment there, looked at the 2 thumbnails and somehow they looked like DOOM3, then moved the left eye to the subject (while the right eye was focusing on the thumbs, still trying to find out if it was really DOOM3) only to realize it said Painkiller...
Bah :(
Just sad that people already use brightskins & crap for it.

I will say that I've been bitten by more bugs playing this game than any other game EVER, but it was enough fun that I kept at it.
