Sony and Argentina-based developer QB9 are “reinventing” Pain, first launched on PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network in 2007, as a free-to-play title, Sony announced at its Brazil Game Show today.
If you’ve never heard or played PAIN, the game essentially gives you a giant slingshot and a character to fling around a giant map filled with random objects to cause pain to your character.
Soooo many memories with this game, please do make a sequel I'll buy it day zero.
Sadly, isn't the only thing left of that studio is some of the senior staff and it's CEO?
Has been a while since I played it. Just haven't felt like - thought of - reinstalling it since replacing my PS3 from YLoD.
i liked pain on ps3 and would like a 2nd one, but i really want a pain game (even a port of the first) for ps vita
This would be a great game on the Vita. It's one of those games that you could play in little portions or spend hours just doing mindless, crazy stuff. I wouldn't even mind an expanded port. (just give the DLC stuff)
Idol Minds is closed. Do not hold your breath for them to develop another PAIN game. Maybe another studio though.
OPM: In a six year console cycle there are always going to be PS3 games that dropped off your radar entirely. Let’s take a look down memory lane at some games that you’ve probably forgotten even existed. Prepare to go ‘Oh *yeah*!’ several times over.
Oh yeah!
Also Rag Doll Kung-fu is an excellent game. Not that long ago when I fired it up.
My friends and I still have countless amounts of fun with Rag Doll. And the video recording, permanently stored some awesome moves and weird glitches on the HDD =D
yea that game was so much fun to play, it was even free a couple of years ago during a promotion.
Since, from what I understand, PS4 will be a lot easier to program for, I am hoping we can see a lot more games that dont have a huge budget, but great ideas, come to light. Some of the best PS3 games were smaller titles that just exploded onto the scene. Valkyria Chronicles, LittleBigPlanet, DemonSouls, Folklore, ect.
Im glad Sony has such a big focus on indie games with the PS4
There's a reason why we forget certain games exist, apart from Folklore, that was a very interesting game.
I always say this, despite being a decent game, The Saboteur didn't receive the attention it deserved.
Junkie Monkeys: With all the silly controversy surrounding God of War: Ascension lately, we decided to list five trophies that could be considered just as bad as the "Bros before Hos" trophy.
Before anyone gets up in arms at the title, and misses the hint in the description: it's satire.
trophy in TombRaider called "WidowMaker" for killing 40 MALE enemies.....
WHERE YOU AT ADAM SARKEESIAN???WHERE YOU AT?
Adam sessler another moron in gaming journalist
I like the guy but for what he complained about is just plain stupid. A trophy didn't bring down your enjoyment Adam did it? People use to p,ay games without achievements or trophies so these are extra bells and whistles but people will complain just about anything
I guess he did that to get his site some hits and put his name in the news nothing more nothing less
It's messed up because he took the whole thing the wrong way and now Sony Santa Monica has to deal with it. I think they should keep the trophy as is and say screw the negative press.
It's ok though, since none of the enemies are wearing any rings, so they couldn't have left any widows behind.
It was quite painful to get...

But I bared through the pain.
"But I bared through the pain."
Are bad puns worthy of n4g's hall of shame? :P
Don't let me go through the pain of losing a bubble for asking that. :(
Hey I'm Adum Sesslurr and Bros Before Hoes trophy is offensive. Pain's trophy tho, it's fine with me. ;)
hmm cool I guess. never played it before so guess i cna try this version out.
Surprised there is no PS4 and/ or PSV version while they were at it.
But cool, will check it out since its free.
Haha. I highly recommend it to anyone who has never played. So much fun.
I need some PAIN! Help.
No reason not to give it a try! I am sure my kids will enjoy it immensely!
It was fun... But then I was bomblasted by billions of updates that took freaking weeks to download. I gave up then.
PAIN should have ALWAYS been free-to-play.
