Soo never really heard of this game til all the "its the evilest game ever news". Anyone have any word on it? It actually looks interesting with the whole "skill shot" idea behind it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjNEKnifT5M |

The aesthetics are like Gears, but the gameplay isn't even close. By which I mean it looks like fun.  |

The gameplay looks like Unreal Tournament. Which makes sense as its an Epic game. I think it looks fantastic. A nice change from all the realistic shooters like CoD and Battlefield.
I am amped for this and will be getting it for sure. I just wish they had it on steam.

Demo has been available on PS3 and 360 for a couple weeks now I think. The lack of a PC demo leaves me a little wary of the PC version. The game has gotten some decent buzz, although mostly the conversation tends to stay focused on the Skillshot system which awards you points based on how creatively you kill your enemies. Seems like a fun game, but not something I'd buy. Also, on the PS3 it's going up against Killzone 3 which is being released on the same day, while the 360 version gets early access to the Gears 3 beta. Not sure what the multiplayer is like in this game, but I expect it to only have a decent amount of people playing on the 360.

Game is a lot of fun, and a refreshing change from your typical serious-business FPS.
It fondly reminds me of games like Rise of the Triad in the variety of ways people can be killed and whatnot. It's not a hard game per se (you are deliberately the most badass thing on the map, and could ordinarily run and gun the whole mission with ease), the challenge comes from an arcade-style points system. Killing people is relatively easy, killing them in a way that generates a high score is not.
Nothing like Gears of War at all.
This is from the 360 demo, btw.

I read something about this, ages ago. Apparently they're a Croatian or Polish dev house, they had a demo and Epic took them under their wing/bought them out/brought them in along with their game.

People Can Fly made Painkiller back in 2004. Is it really that unknown? That makes me sad, because it was a very unique and awesome shooter.
Edit:
That is to say, it's pretty apparent given their history what they're going for.

Most people probably only know it as the game with the cinematic that Yahtzee made into that PUFFERFISH video. |

Nah, I don't think so, Painkiller was hyped and talked about everywhere back in the day. I'd say they are pretty well know. People might have forgotten they were behind Painkiller, but people haven't forgotten Painkiller itself.

Indeedio.Anyway, after Painkiller I'm prepared to cut them quite a bit slack for the fairly generic trailers.

Ah yes, Painkiller.
I bought it years before Yahtzee gave it a blowjob. I found it a bit meh and boring. I tried it again after his review, just to see if I missed anything, but found it the same. Personal opinions and all that.

I've seen some videos of the game and it looks decent. My feeling is "wait for Steam sale," but I think I'll pick it up eventually.

The environment detail on the PS3 demo is gorgeous. I'm still leaning towards Killzone 3, but I can see myself flipping at the last moment for this.

I won't get it on release, but when it hits $35 or so from the UK, I'll be all over it. If it's got some kind of amazing co-op, I'll grab two on 360.
If Steam has it for a good price on PC, I might get it there as well.

Interesting. Steam is apparently now saying that a Windows Live ID is required.  |

Either that or your XBOX Live account will work. Unless they're the same thing for you. |

AH well, looks like another potential console FPS for me then. Why do AAA PC titles keep dropping in sales again? |

Games for Windows Live means clumsy implementation and an ass backwards interface that adds extra steps just to do something simple. If you want me to try something new, you're going to have to make it as accessible and easy as possible. Sorry. |

"Poop passage" jokes makes everyone feel old. The kills for high scores gameplay reminds me strongly of the Wii's MadWorld. This brief comparison echos my thoughts. MadWorld clip. |

Actually it is mostly a showcase of how my reaction times are not as good as they were when I was a teenager. I knew how to make asshole jokes when I was fifteen.  |

They ran an X-Play special with R Lee Ermey blowing up Brian Posehn's butthole.
Actually the game looked like a lot of silly fun.
