Pain - Play & Help

This looks like it should be a right laugh. Can't wait to strap my character into a huge rubberband................

(Not quite sure what the monkey slapping his backside is about though

)

There is also a video on gametrailers

This game looks crazy and very fun in short bursts, perfect for a PSN game.

AJUK · 17-05-2007, 12:31 PM

looks cool, although you're thread title suggests to me as if you're reffereing to the psn as being a pain.

Sqweeky Badger · 17-05-2007, 12:49 PM

it is

andrewrunagall · 17-05-2007, 1:00 PM

Just seen the trailer, is it wrong to laugh at the characters misfortunes? Because when he crashed into the bloke on the bike,

Best use of Rag Doll physics since the "Insurance Fraud" missions on Saints Row.

Just glad it's going to be a budget on-line title.

FlatOut 2 used it to good effect too

It looks like these smaller, short blast multiplayer games have been very popular on PSN. Long may it continue!

The fuuniest bit I found, was the bit where he's falling and shouts
"aargh mother................."

PS Don't try this at home kids (even if you can find a h-u-g-e rubberband)

mr_vic · 17-05-2007, 8:22 PM

its looks like great fun, when can we expect to see this on the PSN?

andrewrunagall · 18-05-2007, 9:07 AM

Before 2008 is all we know.

Br0ken · 16-01-2008, 9:54 PM

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but didn't want to make a new one unnecessarily.

Was just on the PS3 Webrowser and so this advertised, it'll be released in Feb. It'll be my first PSN game

ghost5 · 06-03-2008, 12:32 PM

as mentioned above it was due to be released in feb in the uk.

now where in march and its still no where to be seen.

as sony have been banging on recently about how much of an important market the uk is you would of though they would get there act together with downloads

i dont mind waiting a couple of weeks for something compared to america but they had this in the beginning of december

PlexShaw · 06-03-2008, 1:00 PM

I thought it was due to be released today?

I'll believe it when i see it, supposedly a demo for Echochrome is due today, it was put on the Japanese store, although i'm guessing that wont happen either.

nbkicker33 · 06-03-2008, 1:54 PM

it was never announced for today just someone on some forum starting rumours off, on the offical pain website the developer said it still in testing at sony, and all he said was it should be out sometime in march, and on its day of realese it will be available with the same content as on usa psn, so all charact will be available to buy.
below is link to main page for pain developers.

They are really dragging their feet on releasing this. Hurry up!

Tigerblade · 07-03-2008, 11:34 AM

It really isn't all that, I've probably spent about 10mins on it when I first got it then never played it again

Good in theory, painfully *cough* shallow in practice.

Bursar · 09-03-2008, 11:03 PM

Really? That's a shame, as I thought the videos look great. Maybe that's why you can't try before you buy like XBLA.

Well I just played it for about half and hour at a mates place and have just come home and downloaded it. Can't go wrong for a fiver.

nbkicker33 · 11-03-2008, 9:13 PM

just went to official pain blog and one of developers has said the date for pain on uk will be on thu the 20th,and you will be available to download the game and any extras that are available on usa psn from that date

Vince Noir · 11-03-2008, 9:15 PM

Where did you read this?

I am looking at the offical site (http://pain.us.playstation.com/) and there are only 2 comments from the developers in Feb and neither mention anything about the UK version.

Jon Weaver · 13-03-2008, 2:05 PM

I have just found that on the AUS PS site, it shows March 20th as the release date:

http://au.playstation.com/games_medi...3/p/pain.jhtml

So fingers crossed.. I keep going on and off the idea of this game.. It looks fun, but it also looks like it could get boring really easily...

But I like the idea of it, and for around £5 its got to be worth looking at.. So, roll on next Thursday!!

Jon

Jon Weaver · 19-03-2008, 11:10 PM

So it seems that this will be out tomorrow (20th march).. Whos buying it.

I am not expecting much of it, but figured that for something like 5 quid, is got to be worth it..

Anyone else getting it?

Jon

avolee · 19-03-2008, 11:18 PM

i might have a punt on it.

Yes I'm going to give it a punt, like you say it may be worth a fiver, is it out today then?

Apparantly so.. No confirmation yet, but there has been many posts from various sources saying "March 20th".

I am not expecting much out of Pain at all... Infact, I am just imagining that its going to be a novelty.. But for £5 (or what ever it costs) its hardly expensive.. But because I am not expecting much, it might actually turn out to be good!

I guess we will know later

Cheers

Due to the novel way belkin wireless routers operate - I've downloaded 13% in 2 hours, and it's now pending

Not just you.. Mine download is crawling.. its only 200M, but its already been an hour and its only at 30%

Must be a high demand, or perhaps some kind of network fault.

I hope that this doesn't happen next week with the GT5 download.. If this takes 3 hours, then for a 2G download, its going to be more like 30 hours
