Painkiller: Resurrection hits North American PCs on October 27, with "new & improved" monsters and weapons, destructible environments and a new co-op multiplayer mode.

But this......
Jowood/Dreamcatcher should be held up as the epitome of how NOT to treat a well respected IP. This thing is an awful piece of shit. A high-school level digital art class could probably do better than this.
I assumed because Jowood didn't use the team that did Overdose because they wanted to keep the quality of the series up. I assumed wrong. This looks and plays like they hired one of those eastern European developers who will do a game for 50k complete. Even with the high quality art/texture work this team managed to make it look even older than the original.
Shameful.

From the JoWood boards:
"We are very happy about the feedback concerning the demo but we are also sorry because we accidently released an old demo version. We really feel sorry for that. Next week we will release a demo version in the actual quality of the final game. So stay tuned and sorry for the inconvenience."

Is this some kind of joke?
