it's alright graphics scream console port

It looks exactly like Manhunt.

also, console port. weeeep.

uhh.. manhunt was about sneaking up on people and killing them... this is more straight shooter

Doesn't look too bad...

it still looks like Manhunt.

That last screen looks like something that would fit more with Blade.

I dunno, looks pretty basic.

When reading this thread title, I saw:

"The Punisher demo is here, and you've already played Max Payne."

But hey, I have bad eyes.

JediKirby

but you can't screw up an interrogation in max payne by pushing up too far on the mouse and accidentally dunking someone's head into a pirhana tank at which point your screen goes blurry and greyscale

Sounds pretty cool, so involved is the interrogation feature of the game?

Sorry:

"And Splinter Cell"

That's what passes for "okay" graphics these days? Pfeh.

Really, it's pretty fun. I mean, what's not to like about ritually sacrificing and feeding your enemies to piranahs? :p And dual wielding shotguns and assault rifles is pretty fun too.

Fun, impossible, and a pretty crappy gimmick for one of the best superheroes ever, yeah.

Seriously, see the latest Penny Arcade, it applies here.

JediKirby

impossible? i played through it twice both times with more than half my health remaining and how does the latest PA apply here?

Downloading now.

Yeah, looks like crap. I stopped playing console ports after Halo.

Dual Shotguns/SMGs impossible, is what I meant. And they're only making a videogame/movie for punisher because they're choochooing.

JediKirby

Don't they have dual sawed offs in GTA: San Andreas? I'm not sure exactly cause I haven't reached assassin level yet with that gun (only shot gun and sawed off left to go).

Hmm, in this demo, are there more special interrogation points than just the pirahna tank at the start and the altar at the end?

This really seems like a complete ripoff of Manhunt. Even the storyline in the demo (some relative of main character is taken hostage to a zoo and used as bait to kill main character) is exactly that of one scene in Manhunt.

I really wish someone would actually 'do' gory games well. Carmageddon 2 did it well, SoF 2 did it fairly well, so it's not that hard! Stop resorting to shakey fuzzy black-and-white out-of-focus camera movements in order to make up for it, and just add the blood, guts and total gore that we all want! >:-| It's not violent computer games that make me want to kill people, it's badly made computer games that make me want to kill people.

I'm fairly sure the pirahnas are the only special interrogation in the demo. And about the gore, according to IGN they originally didn't have it cut to the black and white, but the publisher forced it. Which I really don't understand, because as you said, there are plenty of games that have excessive gore effects.

Yes they do.

Entertaining demo, if only because you can weild 2 pump-action shotguns. Reloading them one-handed while diving behind cover is fun.

Not a brilliant game, just an entertaining one.

You can take the last guy up to the alter for a nice little sacrifice. Look at the last two screenies that were posted.

So its one of those bargain bin games. Don't get it brand new and fork over the $50, wait until it hits $30 or below, play it a few times then forget you Oni it.

Hmm, I wonder if that typo was intentional...

I wonder if there'll be some way to disable the black-and-white crap, as there was with the zombies in Carmageddon..
