First The Punisher: No Mercy Screens, Details Burst Forth From The Internet

This download-only PlayStation Network title features the Unreal Engine, 30fps, and plenty of guns--but is it original enough to stand out?

First screens -- impressions?

The first details about the upcoming PlayStation Network exclusive The Punisher: No Mercy have peppered the Internet today thanks to an interview with Hungarian developer Zen Studios.

Zen rep Zsolt Kigyossy told the PlayStation Blog that the game will check in at 30fps, and leverages the Unreal Engine, licensed from Epic Games. The graphical style will combine modern visuals with a comic book style found in the series, Kigyossy said.

Kigyossy also revealed that the recently implemented Trophy System will be supported, and a trailer for the download title will be available within a few weeks.

The approximately 1GB download will also feature weapons, which should be a surprise to no one.

"Creating an impressive arsenal in The Punisher: No Mercy has been one of our top priorities," Kigyossy said. "We've included different categories of weapons that players can choose from (close quarters, long range, and special weapon). As players collect more and more frags or weapon power-ups, the arsenal becomes more and more lethal."

With title like Resistance 2 on the horizon, we can't help but ask today: Does--or how will--this title stand out against the noise?
