Reading the interview, looking at the screens and the flash movie this may finally be a cool first person shooter.
Painkiller is the nickname of a mercenary who kills the undead for money. Evil creatures keep their nests in typically abandoned locations like caves, private castles, etc. Painkiller "cleans out" these places for a living. In one critical mission, he realizes he"s been thrown into a situation that"s more serious than a bunch of zombies hiding in a forgotten place. He doesn"t like the idea of being someone"s toy, so he decides to play his own cards. That"s the setup for the story. It"s a roller coaster ride from here on out.
