Cause pain for points in this scar-inducing downloadable game! The core, unique mechanic of the game allows the player to load a character into an extreme launching device, such as a human-sized, ultra-powerful slingshot, and fire the character into an active, physics-controlled environment, filled with precarious and humorous situations.

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.
Ill be giving this one a miss lol
...i could of made it alot better, the game looks like its in slow motion if they made it more fast paced it would of been alright but i guess the PS3 has so little Games they have to blind there stupid Consumers by creating Games like thiS...LMFAO!!! PRICELESS
oh and by the way i put a Video attachment on here too just so i can TAKE A HUGE DUMP ON THE PS3 THREAD just like how Bill does on our threads, HAVE FUN fonyboyz
This reminds me of the TonyHawk project 8 minigames.
or Flatout mini games...
wierd game. but it could be fun for....toddlers?
There isnt a word in the dictionary that cant describe how retarded you really are seriously you have your head stuck up way up Microsofts ass! that you just cant get it out and of coures your more dumber than a pile of 2 elephant sh1ts! piled together! and again its like your letting Microsoft use your mouth as a toilet and take a huge dump in it.
