Pain Update Delayed, sometime in September

Pain Blog:

"The Bad News: Amusement Park will release in September, but not 9-4 like we originally planned. The reason for this delay was at least in part due to our retooling the PlayStation®Network trophies."

Not suprising, this game was enver on target ever. Hell, can you even call it a game? None of their promises have ever reached target date. None of them. They always come through in the end, though and that is what is most important. For those of us still breathing Earth's air.

I'm more interested in HVB, myself. I wish they'd hurry up and update that one. That is easily the best game on PSN to date and easily the best bowling game ever made.

PoSTedUP6474d ago

i disagree.

PAIN is an awesome fun game and much better than boring HVB imo.

you think that is the best game on PSN? or is that the only game you have? or you are a real hardcore bowler XD.

but yea imo calling all cars is better, pain is better, vegas poker is the best online poker game made to date in terms of quality and presentation so i like it better. Siren blood curse is ALOT better imo, GT5p is better imo, i can see HVB being the bet bowling game but not the best psn game, we all have our opinion though.

I disagree too, I love Pain. It is colorful, funny, and has gotten a ton of developer support. Sure some costs money, but they gave us a ton of layouts and a game mode for free. Not to mention it has custom music soundtracks, soon it gets trophies, and we are getting online support through an upcoming update. They keep things fresh we new content and said that more characters, a feature called PAINlabs, and a new game mode--"Darts" is in the pipeline. They also keep us updated weekly on progress through painps3.com's blogs. I really dig what Idol Minds is doing, and I have no problem purchasing DLC if I know the game is going to get continuing support and upgrades through patches. I am sold on any future Idol Minds' projects, they are a great team.

PoSTedUP6474d ago

yea im looking froward to PAINlabs I THINK, isnt that the one where they have a new game setup ever yweek and if you dont play it that week you can never play it again? im not sure but they are doing something like that and they are going to be making new games every week but only for a week and they get rid of it for good after that, it sounds really awesome.

Rich16316474d ago

I am not 100% sure how it works but I now it is something like they set up some ideas they think are good and we get to play around with it, test it out, and let them know if we like it. If we do then, then it will be included as a game mode or feature in the next update. If it sucks, then well...it is gone forever. I think the development team wants us to see what we can come up with too and we can provide some feedback and they can in return retool some elements and give us new stuff. I love the connection the team makes with the fans, it is clear everything they do is for us. Hell, they even run polls for what characters and modes people want on their website.

I want trophy support like many others do, i assume im gonna hav 2pay for the Amusement park

Rich16316474d ago

Yep, Amusement Park costs $5.99.

NegativeCreepWA6474d ago (Edited 6474d ago )

Damn, I was looking forward to getting it this week. Maybe next week. Online multi player is going to be great.

Rich16316474d ago

Travis said that online multiplayer was delayed until sometime this autumn. It will be a separate update from this one that is coming out. Anyways, it sucks this was delayed. I love this game, so much fun.

Cajun Chicken6474d ago

Pain is hillarious, I can't wait to get this. Buuuut, it seems like I will have to, curses. I'm fine, because I still can't get enough out of Pain bowling with friends, man, when that manhole hits them, its hillarious.
Seriously SCE, YOU have to release WipeoutHD soon.

PAIN Going Free-To-Play On PlayStation 3

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.

sinncross4597d ago

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.

PoSTedUP4596d ago

its tons of fun. ive spent hours upon hours on this game back in the day.

Monkeycan84596d ago

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!

FunAndGun4596d ago

Super OOCH!...ooch, ooch, ooch...

WeAreLegion4596d ago

Haha. I highly recommend it to anyone who has never played. So much fun.

5eriously4596d ago

I need some PAIN! Help.

No reason not to give it a try! I am sure my kids will enjoy it immensely!

GenericNameHere4596d ago

It was fun... But then I was bomblasted by billions of updates that took freaking weeks to download. I gave up then.

Afreelunch4596d ago

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.

-EvoAnubis-4596d ago

PAIN should have ALWAYS been free-to-play.

Idol Minds, Please Make PAIN 2

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.

ThatKanadianKid4674d ago

Soooo many memories with this game, please do make a sequel I'll buy it day zero.

Prcko4674d ago

pain was so fun and addictive game
i want new one too!

Godmars2904674d ago

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.

doctorstrange4674d ago

Yup, massively downsized and making iOS titles :(

Kiddcarter4674d ago

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

iceman064674d ago

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)

BoNeSaW234674d ago

Idol Minds is closed. Do not hold your breath for them to develop another PAIN game. Maybe another studio though.

Oh yeah!

Also Rag Doll Kung-fu is an excellent game. Not that long ago when I fired it up.

DeforMAKulizer4750d ago

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

trenso14750d ago

yea that game was so much fun to play, it was even free a couple of years ago during a promotion.

Panthers4750d ago

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

Perjoss4750d ago

There's a reason why we forget certain games exist, apart from Folklore, that was a very interesting game.

matrixman924750d ago

dead space ignition was terrible

Cam9774750d ago

I always say this, despite being a decent game, The Saboteur didn't receive the attention it deserved.
