There is nothing quite as satisfying as hitting your self in the testicles and until now the ability to do so in a game has been severely lacking, enter PAIN. Here is a quick look at the physical humour based game that will be arriving on the Playstation Store shortly.
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.
.
this game looks like it would be perfect to get wasted and play it w/friends
I found this game to be very interesting and I salute Sony for being innovative in terms of software.
multiple game modes would make this better... like 10 or 15 modes would make it awesome, compete with mario party? i dunno, good idea, I think it could be taken a bit further (add in downloadable characters or stupid celebrities that everyone hates...)
