You've heard this kind of thing before from the PAIN team at Sony and Idol Minds. But this time, everyone wants to believe that they have ironed out some of the delay issues and this will be released as scheduled.
Travis Williams, SCEA Producer of PAIN, commented on the game's blog yesterday:
The YouTube editor is in Format right now along with Ed and Kutso they will be available before Christmas.
That means you should see the new patch and new characters (including a free one) released either this week or next, as PAIN tends to update on Thursdays to advertise new content on the PlayStation Store. It is also worth noting that the game is being updated daily with new PAINLabs content every day until Christmas.
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.
They were really asking for it when they made Idol Minds so close to Idle Minds. We've been sitting in idle for a while - but it seems like the game's hardcore fans still love it. Which is really about all they can ask for. I personally love the physics engine, I just was hoping they'd open the game up a little more and give us some more control.
Ohhhh, yes. Hopefully its just as detailed as Drivers.
