This is the ugliest cast of characters I've seen since Concord.

What is even happening here?
Painkiller was a fun little edgy boi 00s FPS with some neat physics-based kill mechanics and a charmingly try-hard aesthetic. How does that translate into DEI live service co-op wannabe number 836? I get that this is just what modern game dev has become, but it feels like they are going well out of their way to unearth these old IPs for ceremonial desecration. Like why work this hard to set money on fire?
Wait a second.... this new game is supposed to be tied to THIS Painkiller?

If that's the case then wow... just wow. I have no words.
It didn't need a remake
Most games don't.
I swear I've seen some of these assets before. Not in a "this looks familiar" sense, but a "I've literally seen these assets somewhere else" sense.
Game: Painkiller reboot.

Characters Left-to-Right
Looks like Sam Brinton, the convicted White House panty thief.
The best of the bunch, but still looks like the dollar store version of better characters from better games. Honestly looks more like a boss or mini-boss from a generic Souls-like than it does a playable character.
I'm not playing as a woman in turban.
Awful proportions. The lower gold half of the mask looks like it got punched off center in a fight and was never repaired. And why do the eyes on that mask look like Jabba the Hutt's?
The Painkiller reboot comes out October 21, and I predict it will be DOA.
Additionally, the voice acting in the Steam trailer sounds worse than much lower budget indie games I've played.
You forgot that the game uses Unreal Engine. Horrible performance, ghosting and smudgy graphics are guaranteed.
Bottom gold bit looks like an extravagant gorget rather than part of the mask. So it's attached to the chest not the head and isn't supposed turn when the head turns, it stays in line with the collar bone.
Screenshot-wise it looks good. Looks more like a Doom 2016 clone on face value. If it really is Unreal 5 slop though, that is concerning.
It's not 50% hamplanets so it's still a long way off being Concord bad, hopefully nothing should ever come close to that low ever again.
But yeah, the two women are uggos. I can't tell what the brown one is supposed to be, the clothes say Malian jogger, but the mutated midget physique says darkskin jeet.
More like Eye Paincauser
wtf is this even. Painkiller is a shooter for edgy people. You expect edgy peolle to buy ... this?
Whats the next business plan? selling snow shovels in Sahara?
The product is you.
The game itself isn't bad gameplay wise. The women are sadly annoying, but the guys are fine as far as voice lines go. The combat is so quick and fast paced that when they're talking, you don't really get to hear them anyway. Just the screams of demons as you mow through hordes of them.
It's when they talk during the quiet parts, they can be annoying.
Try the demo on steam if you think you can stomach it.
Oh Lord... it has banter? Well, it can't be worse than Sandlands....
Looks like a game you'd need to be on some heavy painkillers to enjoy
This looks like Diablo III characters...
Come on now, nothing can be as bad as Concord's character design.
At least they don't have garish colour schemes.
Game better have a kickass soundtrack or it doesn't deserve the title of Painkiller.
Painkiller was one of the best FPS games ever, dunno what this gay shit is but it will be completely unrelated
