I really don't know how to feel about this one: A new Painkiller was unveiled today at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, being developed by Anshar Studios and published by 3D Realms, and I just don't know if I can bring myself to have hope that it's going to be good.
See, here's the thing. The original Painkiller was lightning in a bottle: A come-from-nowhere 2004 FPS from a Polish studio called People Can Fly that mashed up masterful level design, ridiculous weapons, bonkers enemies, blasting heavy metal, and some bullshit about a demonic invasion of Earth or Heaven or whatever into one of the best singleplayer shooters of all time. It really was just that damn good, and you can pick it up right for $2 in the Steam Spring Sale if you don't already own it. (And you should.)
