“Fatal1ty is on a promotional tour in the US and we stopped by the San Francisco stop. He says he misses Painkiller. Probably the best game he has ever played (his words). And he says HI! to the PK community. While he doesnt play PK anymore he did know about Overdose and said he is looking forward to it. I told him to meet us on line from time to time. While that is iffy he did sign a picture to all of us.” (post and picture by Uuber, thank U very much)

“DreamCatcher Interactive / JoWooD Productions Software AG today announced their plans to publish Painkiller-Overdose for Windows®.
With a worldwide release date set for October 2007, Painkiller-Overdose marks the return of the popular high-energy, frantic-styled gameplay that made the original Painkiller such a huge hit.”

The CPL have announced the results of the poll between Painkiller and DOOM 3. The poll was to see which game the already signed-up players wanted to play, here’s the results:

1. Yes – change the the DOOM 3 tournament to the PK Qualifier – 87

2. No – don’t change or cancel the DOOM 3 tournament – 81

As you can see, the majority of votes went to Painkiller, but because of the large amount that voted against it, the CPL have decided the following:

The CPL and NVIDIA have decided to split the tournaments in two – of 128 competitors each. CPL and NVIDIA also have split the cash prizes between both of the tournaments with $30,000 assigned to DOOM 3 and $20,000 assigned to Painkiller.

Also, the top 6 in the Painkiller tournament will each recieve free air travel to the World Tour first stop; Istanbul, Turkey which will take place February 10-13th 2005.
