xxxIndyxxx: No, what i meant was: it's not really a remake or continuation of the gameplay we love from Shadow warrior (Like Rise of the Triad 2013 was) but more like a painkiller type game with a chinese setting ;)
Again nothing wrong with painkiller but don't expect classic shadow warrior with modern graphics.
My problem with the Painkiller devs is really that they don't understand "old-school" FPS level design and what made it so good. Serious Sam/Hard Reset/Painkiller all had the same bad level design - go into big area/room full of enemies, kill all enemies, find secret - follow corridor to an entire bigger room full of enemies, kill enemies, find secret. Rinse, lather, repeat. Again nothing wrong with painkiller but don't expect classic shadow warrior with modern graphics.
What those guys need to do is take a real close look at games like Doom and Hexen.
