It’s ironic but a big announcement passed unnoticed this afternoon. The legendary Painkiller series experiences its biggest leap ever with Nordic Games’ upcoming installment: Painkiller Hell & Damnation. Painkiller Hell & Damnation is under development by The Farm 51, an experienced Gliwice/Katowice (Poland)-based development studio.

Powered by Epic’s world-renowned and highly-respected Unreal Engine 3, Painkiller Hell & Damnation recreates the sensations and hardcore gameplay of the original Painkiller. Released in 2004, Painkiller won high praise and many accolades and fans for its fast and unique gameplay. Keeping true to the old-school FPS ideology, lightning-fast movement enables skillful players to get into the heart of the fast-paced gameplay, topped off with stunning enormo-boss fights requiring sneaky tactics.

Sort of want, as long as it's like the first Painkiller and not the half-arsed addon packs.
 
Last couple of PK games I've tried (Overdose & Resurrection) have been rubbish, the name has been tarnished for me by these commercialised mods that lack polish (no pun intended) and have poor level design.

Bulletstorm (made my PCF) impressed me a lot however, and Hard Reset (offshoot of PCF) wasn't bad either.
 
As much as I liked the Painkiller games, I hope this delivers something a bit fresh and different. The above video is obviously only a snippit of what it will be like, but I couldn't help but think of the word 'expansion' when I saw the gameplay. Even if it is like before, I guess I'll still pick it up at some point. I just won't be in a hurry to do it.
 
if its a copy and paste of the first game but with 2012+graphics they can shove it tbh. the first game is still very playable so ill just invest my cash into another game and replay my old version thanks :p
 
it does have a few different maps/ boss fights etc, but it's basically an HD version of the same game.

it's never a good idea to just clean up/ improve the textures of an old game, it wont work, the new cleaned up HD version of DOOM 3 is the same, it'll just feel like playing the old game again

i've been trying to find out much more, but i can only find out about the 1st map in the Beta playthrough
