Sony have announced that Pain will be released on Blu-Ray this June in all PAL regions. The disc based release will include three environments as well as 15 characters and 2 new game modes which along with the new maps should provide the extra something that was missing from the original PSN version.

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.
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.

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
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.
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.
everything i stated would happen this year, has become reality to the t.
LOL, the mods are funny in this site. but, more importantly where are all the 360 fanboys? OH, thats right, playing halo2.5, the only exclusive the 360 has.
LOL, thats funny, cuz i predicted they would disappear from this site because of ps3 ...but i never would have thought they would still be playing h2.5 because of lack of next gen games.
If it's not more than 20€, it may be a good deal.
Interesting.
I already have PAIN with the Amusement Park and Movie Studio add-ons, but it may be worth getting on disc if it's cheap enough and has a few extra goodies.
It's a great little game - Absolutely bonkers and hilarious to see the characters 'ooch-ing' about. Sad as I am, I always use "Tati" in the catapult and try to get her in compromising positions when she lands...
bought pain a while back. can't say i'm a fan tbh :/
So we get the add ons right?
