Celebrating the JoWooD catalogue promo we'd like to ask some questions to developers of the Painkiller and we need your help.
We've just released the Q&A with one of the developers of the Original War and we'd like to ask you to send us some questions to the creators of one of the fastest and action-packed shooters, where you can shoot from a gun which fires shuriken and lightning - [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/painkiller]Painkiller. We're waiting for your questions, sent by email at users-at-gog.com or posted in the comments section here, until Friday, October 30 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. And remember that Painkiller Black Edition is still on sale until Monday!
What are your thoughts on Dreamkiller and Painkiller Resurrection?
What are you working on now?
PS. I hope Piranha Bytes is next. :)

Can you give us anything new on your upcoming "unnamed action title"?
What do you think the future holds for FPS games?
What do you think of current shooters as a genre? Is there innovation left to be had in shooters today, after all, we seem to be seeing an endless supply of shooters that are more or less the same compared to each other, apart from the few standouts that are breaking free of the current genre stereotypes?
What inspired Painkiller?
What was the thought process behind the "pick up souls for recharging health" idea?
Was the final level intentionally really simple? It was one of the most original looking levels ever - beautiful really. But there wasn't much to do.
... Were you on drugs while creating final level? I want to try those, 'cause it's awesome. Whose idea was to make it... Kinda frozen, anyway?
Do you think the Painkiller style of gameplay holds up in today's market?
Where did you get your inspirations from for the various levels of the game? They seem to have an extremely good atmosphere.
And a minor one: why exactly is it Zurich in the Train Station level?
Being a relatively anonymous release at the time, how surprised are you today about how well Painkiller actually did, seeing it still being popular and sold through many major distribution sites?
What kind of feelings do you have for Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation? Did his review of the game inspire more sales?
When you're suffering form huge amounts of pain, what are your painkillers of choice?
I've heard that Painkiller has been called "The Unofficial Doom 3". Do you any thoughts on that statement?

LOL, good one! +rep for it! :-)
Painkiller and Pailkiller:battle out of Hell were very good available in Europe. Painkiller Overdose was not, at least not in the Netherlands. I had to get it from Canada.
Why was that?
Thanks for your reply.
