Online play wasn't available at this point in the release. Painkiller is still under heavy development and so our First Look includes what has been done so far. Do note though that Painkiller is set to have various modes of online gaming though, Death Matches and even a People Can Fly mode will be available among other options. With the huge levels and weaponry it seems like it will be almost a given for online play success.
As a gamer I'm blown away by what People Can Fly and Dreamcatcher have brought to the gaming public, fast game play, massive environments, and endless amounts of enemies at every corner. Items like this make it hard to deny that Painkiller could develop in the coming months to become a combatant in the FPS arena this fall. Painkiller is set for a fall release on the PC platform with a release due out on the XBOX gaming console shortly after. Chances are XBOX fans can expect the same performance and extensive levels as well as XBOX Live! online madness for all. We'll keep everyone posted as the game develops into further stages. In the meantime I leave you with this.
