According to IGN: "The hits keep on coming for Pain, Sony's latest downloadable title that has players launching a character and banking points on how much damage the human projectile does. As IGN reported earlier, two of the in-game characters -- Santa and the curvy Cookie -- are giving gamers error messages when folks try to play as the Christmas-themed duo. The ensuing note asks that PS3 owners reinstall the game."
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.
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 it's a blast. It was my first downloaded game ever.
Its theme is good too :P
P.A.I.N, P.A.I.N. PAIN!
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.
Yeah they released sooo many updates, and so many levels and modes that were locked behind paywalls, it took up waay too much hard drive space for what it was, and felt like I payed for a free-to-play game anyway. It was fun, but not fun enough for me to keep paying/downloading.
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.
I like the game and all but they could at least give out a free character since they were keeping secrets.
Also, I'm getting sick of this new trend with games launching that immediately have downloadable content. If something is ready at launch it should be included in the game. Whoever invented microtransactions can eat me.
were do i find the default router on the ps3
They could have atleast waited to act as if it was content that they haven't created yet...day one downloads are crooked. :(
At least the game is fun without those two characters.
and worth the price?? I really wish PSN had demo's of all their titles like Xbox Live has so you can at least see if it's worth it.
I just starting getting into Flow, Everyday Shooter and Calling All Cars since they were on sale. All of these are great. When I'm playing these games I really feel like Sony is trying to be different in it's games, something that I don't really feel in a lot of Xbox Live Arcade titles.. Plus I'm sick of retro-evolution versions of the stuff they keep releasing.. I mean come on Asteroids Evolved??
For $9.99 it is awesome....Microsoft is gonna charge $15 to download Halo 1...which i think is a ripoff....
