Quick Look: Dreamkiller

You have a copy of Dragon Age and you're playing this over the weekend?  That's.... worrying.

This looks like it's ten years old.

Damn fooled thinking it's Painkiller guys (People Can Fly) game. Shame

DAVE!!!!!

Do not want.

Needs more speed tree.

david.

I might need Alice Drake's help. I am scared ... of this game.

PsychoNot!

" This looks terrible ;S I'm glad Mindware arent destroying the painkiller franshise more than they already have (i believe another company has picked up that licence so that responsibility falls to them) What the hell happend to "People Can Fly" (the devs behind the original, decent Painkiller) i know they worked on the pc port for Gears of War but they've gone off the radar since then which sucks if crappy developers like Mindware are still able produce games but they cant... "

The second deal announced is with Epic Games. More specifically, the game will come from People Can Fly, the studio responsible for Painkiller, which Epic picked up in 2007. No details on the game were revealed other than that it will be "an all-new action title." It will come to Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.

Painkiller and BooH were great. Overdose was a pile of shit, and I expect the same from this game. Also, isn't that the same font that Painkiller used for their title?

Ah man. This game looks awful. 

So... a BioShock rip-off?

Should have done the Quick Look on the office worker level.

My first thought was this reminded me a lot of American McGee's Alice. And then I realized the protagonist in here is also named Alice. Coincidence? Yeah probably.

Damn, this is really disappointing because they took a fresh concept, introduced a female lead that's not about sex appeal, and had the prestiege of Painkiller to back them up.  And then they pretty much shit all over the gameplay and level design.  
 
I knew things would be bad as soon as I saw the weak inital melee attacks.  None of the weapons looked fun, and then when it went into demon mode or whatever you were reloading half the time.  It almost seems like they intentionally made it bad, because I can't believe anyone could actually playtest that and find it fun.
 
And of course, the level design is a huge miss.  When I heard Painkiller and "peoples' dreams" I was thinking more along the lines of the Hell level of Painkiller.  Wow, what a disappointment.  Here's hoping they sell 0 copies and go out of business so they can't infect the world with any more of their terrible games.

More like FUNKILLER am I right?

Dave: adjust your mouse sensitivity. It's crazy.

Oh man this looks fucking terrible.

LOL, this is £28 on Steam. Borderlands or L4D2 are £1 less... WTF.

Damn, it's like Painkiller. Almost exactly like Painkiller. Only without the fun. Does not seem to be worth 40 or 30 dollars.

" Should have done the Quick Look on the office worker level. "

ugh!
Looks terrible!
Yet another contender for worst game of the year....
that pile is getting quite big.

This game looks bad and tedious all at the same time.

This game is horrid. Who the hell would put there reputation under the axe releasing this PoS. I feel sorry for you guys having to play this.

It's definitely going to kill the dreams... of whoever made this game.

Jeff: "This games looks bad"
David: "Yeah, its not good"
 
I LOL'd.

GOTY?

" Watching this Quick Look made me kind of nauseous. So jittery. "

I love Spiders!
 
Thanks for the quick look, Dave.

"The patients mind is trying to help me" 
 
They really should of given up around about when that line was written.

Oh god...this game looks bad.

To cure his fear of bad fps's, Alice Drake would have to kill herself.
 
 
This was kind of dissapointing, when I heard the premise for the game, it sounded really cool. Actually seeing it be played here though, awful looking game.

Had I ever heard about this game prior to watching this quick look I may have been interested due to the crazy concept. Now I know better!!!
 
THANKS GIANTBOMB!!!

Looks horrible.

Said it before, I'll say it again: you've got a lovely singing voice, Dave.

Fuck Uncharted 2, this shit is intense man.

Damn, this game looks boring. More spiders? Yay!

Wow... this looks awful!!!

bah

"Yeah, it's not good Jeff."

Looks awful.
" ...the developers behind Painkiller: Overdose." 
Oh. That's why.

Wow dude. That is some high-ass mouse sensitivity. You can't even aim man. Half the time I thought you were playing this with a dual analog.
 
Anyways. Good quicklook. Bad game, but good QL.
 
EDIT: wait. The game is just... LIKE that? Balls.

Game is dumb. Even back then I thought Painkiller was incredibly shallow (which it was, but I didn't get why people enjoyed it).

This started off looking...bad.  But I kept with it, and can safely say that this is bad.

Dave!
