Back in September, The Punisher: No Mercy was announced for PSN. Yes, this first person shooter will exclusively hit the PlayStation Network as a downloadable title. Not too much is known about the game -- but GameTrailers has debuted the first ever footage of the game in action, which you can check out after the break.
graphically it looks nice and its a psn title. when watching it I just saw it as basic "doom" shooter, here's to hoping there is no cover system and fade to black/shield life system. health packs FTW.
Gee-yodd DAMN!!! that's the first time I ever seen a mufugga get his head AND shoulder blown off! DEEYAMM!!! gave him the shampoo treatment. GOTSTA get it.
WOOOOOO doggy. i tell you whut. them sumbitches best be on the look out fer yew and me both brotha. We gonna have us a good ol fashin ass kickin party. Everyone is invited. Ima be servin up sum cans if ya want any...
Anyone else remember the last Punisher game that was on the PS2? It had some awesome finishing moves in it. For a PSN game this looks extremely playable and fun. Day 1 purchase for me on PSN.
Well, not anything, you must be joking. Look there's a reason crysis can't run on even high end pc's and there's a reason this is a psn shooter, quality. Now if you want to see the best looking console shooter look no further than killzone 2, but comparing this piece of trash, and yes, it is gonna be trash, to crysis graphically is just dumb.
If you ever visited a Crysis community, you would know that the engine is really not optimized very well which is the reason why high-end PCs can't run it on full graphics. Some modders have managed to make the game look even better using much less resources.
@ Sack: Wow defending a statement that is clearly ridiculous and throwing the words "internet" and "dickhead" in the same sentence, easy three stars huh.
Oh man I have high hopes for this game. Give me a game that doesn't need ranks or badges or awards to be fun; give me a game that is fun because it controls well, give me a game that has a hardcore competitive scene, give me a classic Doom-esque shooter. Chyeah, this could be totally awesome.
Well, this might be a decent game, but still. Releasing this at a time when shooters are so abundant (and with strong competition like Resistance 2, Gears 2, Warhawk, Killzone 2, et cetera) was a bad business move.

Looks awesome! I don't like FPS but I'm sure this will be popular among those who do like them...
PS: I hate Game trailers website...it's crap.

Looks gory, looks shiny, looks generic.
But... looks good overall. Better than expected.
gameforall @ Nov 23rd 2008 1:31AM
"looks shiny"
Unreal engine :p

Sounds like they used Duke Nukem's voice actor.

Hey, the man's gotta eat. He hasn't had work for what, 20 years?
Twinturbo120 @ Nov 22nd 2008 11:16PM
So is this going to be all multi-player or what?

hell yeah can't miss taking the bad guys and throwing them in pool filled with nasty amazon fishes and sharks
Mr. Johnson @ Nov 23rd 2008 12:50AM
This is the first game that I have seen with graphics that compare to Crysis
Twinturbo120 @ Nov 23rd 2008 12:59AM
ROFL nice on
Mr. Johnson @ Nov 23rd 2008 1:12AM
well, the textures. definitely not the animations of the people moving.

Nice job Brett! You just officially became "that guy". As in that internet dickhole.

Not the most creative use of the Unreal Engine I've seen...
KiraXD @ Nov 24th 2008 4:54PM
Mirrors edge is the most original use of UE imo
Gambit07 @ Nov 23rd 2008 1:31AM
Looks like it will be punishment playing this.
Mattchewie @ Nov 23rd 2008 1:41AM
It looks good enough.
Since its just a PSN title I'm fine with it being a generic doom esuqe FPS. As long stuff blows up good and its priced right, then I'm down.
btw, priced right is most likely around the 20 buck mark.....anymore up from that point and then it will cause me to start questioning the purchase.
Graves @ Nov 23rd 2008 2:33AM
Looks pretty good, graphics are not too bad for a downloadable game.
Nude Love @ Nov 23rd 2008 5:54PM
Burnout: Paradise, GT5:P, RaC:QFB, Siren: Blood Curse...
Graves @ Nov 23rd 2008 8:07PM
@ Nude Love
Except for RaC:QFB those are all on a disc too (Siren Blood Curse released on a disc in Japan)...If it was on a disc I would expect better graphics.
Arda82 @ Nov 23rd 2008 4:19AM
I feel sad for the people whom are going to purchase this game.
kentuckyfried @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:31AM
Don't judge the game until it's actually been released and determined to be a POS...
KinjiroSSD @ Nov 23rd 2008 8:45AM
Looks generic but if its a low-priced psn game, it could be worth getting for a few mindless hours of blowing dudes up
waden @ Nov 23rd 2008 10:07AM
anything that wont be too expensive and keep me playin is worth my money
lorddshadow2 @ Dec 1st 2008 5:29PM
can you aim down the sights? kinda reminds me of goldeneye back in the day...
Bobby @ Nov 23rd 2008 3:24PM
Finally PSN is getting some good games, I'm glad they finally started to sell PSN cards where I live cause I want this and magic ball.
Dan Rabot @ Nov 24th 2008 11:30AM
Oh man, they should so just make a next gen version of the last (PS2) Punisher, that game rocked my world! Rocked it brutally!

Does anyone know when it's being released ???
