>>6083478>PAINKILLERhehe I am playing it right now, I just did the military base level, this screenshot is the castle one I JUST SHOT A TANK WITH WOODEN STAKE GUN BEHOLD MY PHALLIC TREE LAUNCHER
I can confirm Painkiller runs flawlessly on phones via winlator emulation, Snapdragon Gen 3 processor using the Frost fork of winlator from Github. You can tell which games are programmed well, they run flawlessly on Wine emulation eg Far Cry 1, ut2k4 etc. whereas modern Unity engine games are horrible (is Unity single threaded??) I got Endless Space 2 working on a phone it is barely playable 15fps etc, Pillars Of Eternity 1 is playable but long load times, all these games ruined by Unity
In 2004-05 I was watching vo0 fight fatal1ty online in CPL Painkiller duel championships, I remember back then thinking this was the future, competitive game streaming (youtube did not even exist! saw deathmatches on mp4 or win media player lol) I and a friend of mine were obsessed with this game we completed EVERYTHING found every secret unlocked every level even the forest one (it took ages) unlocked every Black Tarot card in the game, so insanely addictive and fun. To see this game on a phone lol, at the time we were incredibly awestruck by the powerful computer hardware needed to deliver the game physics (exploding crates flying ragdoll bodies dismembered limbs lol, game physics were quite new back then).
Painkiller is such a good game, the art the level design sound effects, ambient music, the four part limb explosions when a body gets hit by the stake gun, the guns are so good, even the titular weapon is so original and unique and incredible ... it is like... a laser, umbrella, food blender, lawnmower, whisk blade grappling hook, boomerang raygun claw? Then there is the stakegun THE TREE LAUNCHER it is so satisfying, we discovered the secret alt fire (shoot and hit grenade with stake in midair, the stake ignites and drives it forward) it was funny because it was like some next level developer trolling of the unreal tournament shock rifle secondary / beam explosion combo, yet even more impractical because the stakegun has a parabolic arc, harder to pull off than the already challenging ut2k4 hitscan shock combo, I remember playing the game so much we could actually do it reliably. The combos like the Painkiller spin blade launch (hold down RMB, then fire LMB) the similar electrodriver ninja star electrocution combo too that fired a 100 ammo lightning mine etc. The levels like the opera house, the castle, the military base, the final Hell level (a battlefield, all wars frozen in time ancient to modern) so much visual inspiration, the game is a true masterpiece
You get this song from the Painkiller expansion. It is the clown one. The secret in this level (acid bath house) required insane jumping / bunnyhopping feats to reach
