Painkiller: Revamped | Final Public Weapons & Items Test 

Thank god, I HATE that lightsaber bright neon shit, it's soo tacky and gaudy.

@@SynthLizard8 That's why these test videos exist. The feedback is very helpful :)

Thanks! It will be free when it's finally released.

​@@MSE7EN когда же он выйдет?

​@TEA_Chocolate. I don't know exactly. But it will be a long time. We still have to make all the levels and enemy characters.

@@MSE7EN is there any way I can participate in this project?

If Serious Sam 5 is announced soon... Wow, what a good start for meat shooters!

Thank you! I've toned down the sway as it was still a bit strong in this test, but it is certainly still there currently

I appreciate that, but lets see what Saber Interactive has got up their sleeve with the upcoming PK project that is official. Revamped is just a passion project for my growth as an artist.

Thank you! A like and sub is more than enough :) I don't have a Patreon or anything. You can also join the discord server via link in description if you haven't already.

@@MSE7EN Sir, take my like and my sub. You should consider crowdfunding this project, you could hire ppl to work on it. Anyway, keep faith and strength!

Noted :) I'll work on that.

Damn right. I second that, double.

1. The campaign pretty much combines the original and Battle out of Hell into one. There will be 37 levels total. I am only changing the story a tiny bit, it will not be what H&D did. Also, Revamped's story will not be canon at all, as this is not an official project from the actual devs. This is basically a fan remaster of the original and BooH. 2. Yes for the HUD. No for the weapons. There may be other skins or something, but we won't worry about things like that until the very end. 3. We intend to cover the characters that appear in the first game and Booh. So Daniel (and his wife at the beginning), Eve, Sammael, Asmodeus, and the 5 bosses including Alastor and Lucifer.

I've thought about it. We shall see.

Heh, one can dream, can't they? It would be pretty awesome if he saw this.

Thank you! I understand what you mean. I could do that for the painkiller weapon! The only reason the upgraded stakegun grenades are green is to match the soul aspect since that is their function. But I can experiment with the colors and see what turns out better!

Unfortunately, a multiplayer was never planned for this project. Maybe that will change somewhere down the line, but I have to say that it's not likely. I'm sorry

@@MSE7EN Either way those weapons are beautiful, I like how you stayed true to original designs, but still added your own flair to it. :)

The HUD elements started off as 3D meshes in Unreal that I took screenshots of. The stone trim pieces are all over in various levels. But they are just 2D images like before for the final HUD.

Kindof like gta?

Like it has all the guns like 50% opacity in a row and you hold a button, and like. Hmm a gear would be cool. A rotate like gear button. Or like touch pad programmed

I promise that will be a feature! It just hasn't been implemented yet. I swear it will be! It is too satisfying to not be :)

Unfortunately, I'm not planning on it

When it came to the whole crystal theme, I did go a little overkill with it. I have not posted anything on it, but I have already taken down 80% of the crystal structures in all of the levels. They are now only present in areas that make sense for them to be (Such as the Stone Pit level as it is a mine). As for the armor, I like the standard bronze, silver, and gold as they were in the original. The rare crystal armor was initially a more precious and strong metal (like platinum or titanium) in earlier pre-builds of Revamped. I may revert back to that design, but I still want to give it a distinct hue so that players understand it is a more powerful armor. I can try the same thing with the upgraded Stakegun, where it converts your wooden stakes to some kind of natural stone or something. Maybe something similar to obsidian. I just didn't want them to be so similar to the bolts on the Boltgun. I'll give it a try and see how it comes out!

Thank you. I will try this when I record Serious Sam 2 in August:)

Thanks for the feedback! So this whole upgrade system idea was inspired from a mod of the original game made by Havcom, which is Painkiller: Reload. I have a series here on the channel. These weapon upgrades will only be found in hard secret areas. By hard, I mean you must solve a puzzle or find elements such as keys to unlock a hidden area and go through an intense battle once found. In terms of balancing, I will refer to him and other creators for guidance on that as I feel he balanced things out fairly well for each difficulty. I'll also run tests constantly to make sure things are good before release. If there needs to be a small amount of tweaking after, there will be patches of course. The upgrades specifically are not quite finalized yet and have some tweaking/additions that need to be implemented. This test video is already 2 months old and things have already changed a bit and will continue to do so a lot as we go on. As for what they do, they are primarily upgrades to the weapons' stats, yes, but will allow for extra abilities/functions for the weapons. Some of which may seem like it's a bit extra, but that's all it is. Extra. As for the shotgun, I will make sure it is easy to switch between the different shell types and make it clear on which type is currently loaded. For the Electrodriver, that was the case at first, but now I will allow the combo attack to still be available for the base weapon. If the upgrade is found, I will find a way to add a nice touch to the combo's ability or something. I'm not sure of what yet (I'm open to suggestions). The same thing goes for the ARFT, the combo attack of shooting a flaming tank may still be available on the base gun, but the upgraded version may change that into like a large scale fireball that has better stats than a regular fuel tank. I don't know, just throwing that out there for now. For the stakegun, you will be able to stake the grenades mid-air at anytime in the game no matter what. I just haven't implemented that mechanic in yet. There's still a long, long way to go. But I appreciate all the feedback and will continue to look closely :)

Thanks! The initial idea for the HUD was to have different colors for each chapter, but after this test, I decided that I can also have just a grey or black version that is universal. I will also add in a setting that allows you to change the style of HUD back to the classic style if you want. You'll have the option of both :)

@@MSE7EN AMAZING! Thank You!

The original one is, yes. People Can Fly made a masterpiece.

@@MSE7EN noooo waaay. how come i havent heard of this game before. is so smooth looking

+1. I hate these neon-ish bright colors of Unreal Engine.

Painkiller 2 will be on UE5

@@MagnitudePerson I hope they don't make the mistake that was hell & damnation worse gameplay-technical experience. Good games are distinguished by the fact that they have technology developed for them, nowadays people make a game for the sake of technology, not technology for the sake of a game.

I would also like to remind you that the original painkiller game was once sold for pennies, it was made by talented people, they prepared an engine, tech especially for this game, they got what they wanted, that's why the game was also a hit at a great price. Here I also pay attention to the price, in Poland it cost PLN 16.70, which is the equivalent of EUR 3.71 in 2004. The creators did not earn much on it, but they worked really hard. interesting fact: the black edition included making of videos. I recommend watching it, it should also be on RU-vid

I will do everything to make sure this game is done right. That is why I look carefully at all of your feedback. I have come to realize there is too much color and effects (I know there's a lot more to improve besides those as well). I will work on that. Also, this will be free! Even though this is kinda like a remake, think of it as just a really big mod project. No one will pay anything to play this when it comes out!

I suppose it can be a small section of one from Resurrection. However, it's mainly meant to mimic something else from the original game :)

Any behind-the-scenes footage or anything similar to that will just be posted here and/or our discord server. No need to be anywhere else :)

Thank you! Yes, I am fully aware. I am curious and excited for it, though I've heard absolutely no news about it ever since it was first announced. So I don't know how far they have gotten with it. Either way, I will continue.

@@MSE7EN there was some recent news that saber will publish the game

I knew that when it was first announced, 3 years ago. The IP was acquired by a new label called Prime Matter, and Saber Interactive is developing it. I haven't seen or heard anything else about it since, and I can't find anything online about it that contains more recent news. So, I only know very little about its current state.

​@frunk5623 Okay, I apologize. I believe I finally found what you are referring to. Someone sent me this link to an article talking a little more about it, and yes it states that Saber is now publishing it on their own. Here is a link to that article and a link to the IGN page, for anyone who is curious, that talks more about Saber pulling back from Embracer Group (which I believe is what THQ Nordic AB renamed themselves to) Article: gameranx.com/updates/id/495317/article/saber-will-now-publish-the-painkiller-game-they-are-developing/#:~:text=Saber%20Interactive%20has%20confirmed%20they,its%20premiere%20label%2C%20Prime%20Matter IGN page: www.ign.com/articles/saber-interactive-ceo-pulls-back-the-curtain-on-joining-and-leaving-embracer

@@MSE7EN No problem and good luck with your project.

I will try. If not, then ModDB or something like that.

@@MSE7EN U mean for free? I know this not an official game(i mean more like a mod or remaster at this point) but looks better than many 2019+ games. Its like MMOD for half life but with fantastic graphics.

@danygeo7365 Yes, for free. Yeah, it's kinda like a really beefy version of what MMod was for Half-Life. And thank you!

@@MSE7EN Keep up good work, bud!

That is an interesting idea! Though, I still feel most will be more satisfied with pinning enemies. Unless I can figure out how to implement both of those features into one. I don't know, it sounds a bit clunky. I feel that glitches or something would happen if multiple enemies are pinned by one steak. I will certainly look into it though!

Maybe I can try this with the upgraded bolts instead since they fly much faster, are smaller, and the weapon overall acts like a sniper(ish)

Thank you! It's hard to say at the moment. We still have a really long way to go. Still have to assemble all the levels (37 total) then make the enemy characters and so on. But, we'll continue sharing our progress.

@@MSE7EN wish you good luck in that, you're doing a great job.

Well, this test was running with static lighting, not Lumen. So, it will not require RTX. I also ran this test with DLSS, though, so you'd have to use the TAA or FXAA settings for anti-aliasing. Plus, you'll be able to optimize other graphical settings to help give back some frames if needed. I will do my best to optimize for everyone!

@@MSE7EN Yeah, I always use TAA because it's better for performance. I still can't believe how much commitment and work was put into literally remake. I'm just a bit worried because I heard that it's difficult to optimize games for weaker pcs on UE, especially on UE5. I guess if you've done so great work so far then I have to put more faith in you and trust you 😶

There's quite a lot I still have to learn and figure out when it comes to advanced settings and optimizations for UE5. There aren't very many tutorials and such for that level of settings. But, I have faith as well, and I appreciate your support!

Pretty much all of them and some extra ones. There are 37 total levels planned overall. So yeah, lots of work ahead, but that's the plan! Thank you!

@@MSE7EN u mean lvls from original + booh ? Or new levels ?

@@artiveno530 Yes, original + booh and 5 extra levels that are similar to the extra levels in Havcom's PK Reload mod

@@MSE7EN cant wait bro, keep up great work

It is the Haunted Valley ambient music from PK Overdose, though it has been used in other expansions as well.

@@MSE7EN One of the coolest soundtracks in Overdose!

You can join our discord server to share more in-depth thoughts on this and see smaller updates. Link is in the description :)

Может быть какая-то другая?

@@Havcom Игры делают профи и любители. Интересно, какой же ещё вариант?

​@@GWG_GameChannel автор явно профи, раз смог уже столько создать с нуля. Такой ответ устраивает? И да, это очевидно любительская разработка, потому что если бы было иначе, ты бы этого видео не увидел бы.

Already done. This was a common critique regarding this test :) Everything has been desaturated by about 30% (and the player will have the ability to change settings such as brightness, gamma, contrast, etc in settings menu). Glowing materials have been toned way down on many elements such as weapons and environmental parts (crystals and such)

Ha ha ha, you could just make them all at once with people in RU-vid, in the comments, on computers in other time zones, and with people using vr. Brat

you must be delusional to think we're getting an official continuation of the painkiller franchise.

Lol do you expect pk2 to scratch the itch of original pk? Legal isn't problem for such projects, you'll all pirate.
