Hey, folks.  We’re quickly wrapping up testing of the international versions of PAIN and the new Fun With Explosives single player mode. Hung Lo is nearly ready to launch (pun intended) as soon as testing is complete. To make user voting a little easier for everybody in the future, we implemented a new Polling feature that will give everyone a quick and dirty vote on things we need instant feedback on.

As I mentioned in my previous post, we can’t leave our Pirate lovers hanging, so here’s a sneak peek at the guy we’re working on now.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Scurv Dogg: We call him “S-Dizzle” round these parts.

Straight from the South Central Seas, Scurv Dogg is a bitter, bitter man, mostly due to the fact that his hip-hop career hasn’t blown up yet (mostly due to music Piracy, which is kinda ironic, isn’t it?).  Perhaps you can give him a hand blowing up with a few careful Ooches into exploding crates.  Make it happen, Cap’n!  You’ll seen Scurv on your Character Select screen some time shortly after Hung Lo makes his entrance.  He’s not a big guy, but he’s hard to miss. You just know we couldn’t let Hung Lo operate without someone his own size to pick on.

Now that we’ve handled that great debate, let’s move on to another equally important one.  Take a look at the new Poll area and chime in on this age-old question: Which are hotter, Cheerleaders or Nurses?  Hmmmmm…….  Looking forward to hearing from you.

By the way, we’re also going to be adding some PAIN wallpapers to the site pretty soon.  We have a lot of really good art to share with you guys, so there will be plenty of good stuff coming your way.  In the meantime, y’all be cool.

Peace,

Coke

Associate Producer, Minister of Information, Ninja, Pirate, Cheerleader, Nurse….confused….

P.S.

Travis will be back next time to give you updates on the Amusement Park and when you should be seeing all these improvements we’ve been talking about since we launched.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Posted on 01.08.08 16:50 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

I hope we get something to download besides wallpapers and themes today. I LOVE THIS GAME. By chance anyone know how to get the "Every launch breaks glass" trophy in the mime toss. For some reason I cant get that one no matter what i do.
For all of you curious about the 300k altitude, its total acumulated height, not one single shot.

Posted on 01.08.08 16:52 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

midgets r cool fool dnt cry abot the lil ppl. kant wait 4 thz dude specialy since hes hip hop orienated. guys keep up the great work

No way in hell were not getting the characters today because ill be pissed i hope we get the map too!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on 01.08.08 17:12 PM by TeH-SicKNess

Well, according to the sony boards....we are not going to see the ninja or the pirate or the new map until the end of February......but it sure is nice to see what we'll be getting LATER on in the year!!!!

Posted on 01.08.08 17:22 PM by THEfireman

Peeps...

The Single Player Mode Fun With Explosives is in test now. It is NOT out this week. The timing is more like 3-4 weeks from now. After it's tested it has to be distributed (Internationally). This is the same timing for Hung Lo. Scurv will come afterwards.

New maps are months away. There will be improvements to PAIN before the Amusement Park launches. We are in the process of scheduling all these things out guys. So when I post next time I will be more specific.

@Fireman: If there is ever some timing info coming out about PAIN voice it here and I will tell you if the info is right or not.

Posted on 01.08.08 17:57 PM by travis williams

Hey travis how far are you guys with the new map and i notice that u say MAPS so im guessing more only in playstation store signs will be up in the new map(s) ok well just aswer back please

Posted on 01.08.08 18:20 PM by TeH-SicKNess

Hey guys... I just want to thank you for creating PAIN!

It's one of the most addicting games on PS3 and i love it!

Travis, i was wondering if you could give me some launch dates, preferably hung lo but anything would be awesome!!

Keep up the good work!

Posted on 01.08.08 18:20 PM by Matt2793

"New maps are months away."

Holy cow!!! That's not good at all. I pretty much stopped playing Pain and am thinking about deleting it. I'll probably just use the extra money I have in my PS wallet for Stardust HD.

You know I'm not a game maker. That's why I'm here and you guys are there, but maybe it would have been best or better if you guys would have just released this game at 20 or 30 dollars with 5 or so maps and 6 characters. Right now it seems like a incomplete PS2 retail game under the guise of an original PSN budget title.

Posted on 01.08.08 19:45 PM by Neon Reaver

It's great to see that you now have a PS3 theme for each of the PAIN characters, including Jarvis' alternative characters. But seriously, we need some new in-game content, by next week, if not the week after. PAIN is a great game, but it's so boring with only two variations of the same level. And the cheerleaders vs. nurses poll, I'm guessing those are going to be new characters? If so, please, stop making more characters and just focus on getting the theme park and the other two characters done, primarily the theme park.

I'm not a game maker or anything, so I have no idea how long this stuff takes, but in my opinion the theme park should've been done by today. I'm sorry if I am sounding rude, I am just a PAIN fan who really wants more content.

Posted on 01.08.08 19:55 PM by jrabin93

Hey guys, thanks for the info and the article link, one thing the reporter didn't ask I was hoping he would was, Are there going to be new trophies that goes with all these new charecters, I kinda guessed there would be with all the new maps, is that true?

On the other side, I was a little disapointed with the timeline you guys mentioned in the article even if it is consistent, but I'm can understand the delay. But, promise me and all the fans that after you synch up the Euro and Asia launches that you'll make your launch plans a reality.

And please don't make the knight charecter (Lord Malice, or some other knightly name) a mdget too. I like short people and all but, pretty please with cookie on top don't do it.

Posted on 01.08.08 19:56 PM by Lord_Malice

YAY!!! A NEW CHARACTER!! AND AMUSEMENT PARK' WOO HOO!!!!

Posted on 01.08.08 20:15 PM by SunShines

By the way, I've know what a cheerleader looks like with ragdoll physics watching tons of Worlds Most Amazing Home Videos and all, so I think I'd rather see a nurse land on the middle finger of that doctor billboard.
So I guess my choice would be nurse.

Although, I don't know how I feel about it in June, which is when we can expect it if all goes according to plan.

Posted on 01.08.08 20:18 PM by Lord_Malice

Is there any way you can confirm when you'll at least release Hung Lo?

Posted on 01.08.08 20:20 PM by Ramy

From an interview Travis did with videogame media.com.

"Travis: Yes! We had to build an environment that facilitated that. If you use the Downtown as an example, it was made where you have 190 degrees of turning, but in the next area you will have more degrees of freedom for your launch.

VGM: Will it be 360?

Travis: Umm…actually, we’re looking at it now and we’re asking- can we do 360 and we can, it just wouldn’t be as exciting. I don’t think we’re going to take the option out to make it 360, but most of the stuff that’s exciting is less than that."

Completel disagree Travis. That's one of the many problems with the game now. I want real bad to turn the slingshot a full 360 in downtown what little I've played. Plus it wouldn't make downtown so repetitive. I've come up with a final verdict of this game. It's the worst PSN title with the most potential.

Posted on 01.08.08 21:24 PM by Neon Reaver

The timeline is a big let down... But what can we do. The devos know we feel overdue, so more complaining won't help. SO... I still think my skee-ball idea is cool. Bowling's problem is you need to hit the head pin to score well, and the defensive player knows that, but if you put objects in the skee-ball game, the other player won't know what target you are going for. AND... If some of the 2nd players defenses were those objects, you could really screw the other player up. Say if you give the defense the option to pick 3 of the 5 or 6 highlighted objects, so the launching player can't tell what is a plain multiplier object and what is the other guys defensive object. It gives players a better chance to score, but still gives great defensive chances too.

Posted on 01.08.08 22:59 PM by TonyB

pain is a great game....but fireman is right....if the guys who are working on pain said a couple of week until release of a new character...then you should make it a couple of weeks...but thats just my opinion!!!

Posted on 01.09.08 00:42 AM by alucard

I think a good additional multiplayer mode would be where you just beat the other players score, instead of having to hit the same taget.

Posted on 01.09.08 01:50 AM by Agent Scarlett

will S-Dizzle board the mothership? you know, the UFO in the downtown map. Wait, what do you mean there is not a UFO in the downtown? Well look at this====> www.vgevo.com/.../attachment.php
I found a UFO in the reflection of the windows in the Downtown. So why did you take the UFO out?

Actually, I was figuring the next female character would be a stripper whose dollar bills fly out of her bikini as she hits things.

And when are you gonna let us launch the Granny?

Posted on 01.09.08 08:51 AM by Ryan

Yo Travis....Sorry if I diden't run the timing issue thru you first....but you can't blame the community for what they read. I'm
just going by the boards and off of what you had said in your interview. You had said somewhere in the next 45 to 60 days, which I calculate to be even further down the line into March or April. I don't mean to be disrespectful, your game is the best one I've played in a long time. I can and will wait for all the goodies to get here, but the one thing that is lacking in your department is, in my opinion, saying one thing and then turning around and doing another. PLEASE don't hate my comments!! I just type what I feel. Like I said before, your game here rocks!!!!!

Posted on 01.09.08 09:46 AM by THEfireman

OK, still 45-60 day window for this new content to sync up with worldwide release. fine. but i think we all hope when everything is ready globally, there will be a lot more content.

boardsus.playstation.com/.../message

Posted on 01.09.08 13:15 PM by StalkingSilence

Please please please, Comments or updates on the following issue.

-Saving Replays
-Trophys not being awarded. I've gotten over 20x multiplier and 2+ mil but I never recieved the 1.5mil trophy or the 20x multi trophy. Just did it again today and still no trophies! Also Throw a mime 100ft, I work in estimating construction so I know distances, I've thrown that mime bast all the buildings and got nothing, I've shot myself off the board and never got the 2000ft trophy. Trophy's simply arent working for me.
-You said no simultanious multiplayer online as too much information has to be sent. What about lan or on the same machine(Ala split screen?)
-How being able to control the mime in mime toss. Ooch and all.
-Instead of mimetoss, there should also be a grandma toss. Or bowling for grandmas. I must be sadistic because I get a all giddy every time I grab grandma by the hair and throw her into something.
-Single player bowling would be good too. Just make random stuff happen each launch

Posted on 01.09.08 17:34 PM by MalachiRuffy

I have some trophy issues as well. I've got the crosstown, big ooch, and super ooch many,many times, yet they still don't show in the trophy case. Does it matter that they were achieved in multiplayer? Also the mime toss 100ft, all throws break glass. They never even "DING" in as achieved.

Posted on 01.09.08 20:00 PM by TonyB

GKB, what up. hope ya like the game. did ya cringe yet? also grab a wall as many times as you can,get adjusted to the overhead camera and you can tell where the next car will be and bam. 2.8 million. i can't seem to get anxy higher than that. even did bowling ball to steel girder into the train, and back into traffic, and still only 2.8 mill. so good luck. #1_in_the_hood_G!!

Posted on 01.10.08 04:39 AM by Qraze

C'mon Qraze... You can do better than that! My best is 11.9 mil with 44 multipliers. But that is pandimonium...Aftershock is too boring for me. I can still hit 5 mil tho! I had to wonder when in that interview Travis said a turn took 20-30 secs... 3-5 min. is more like it!

Posted on 01.10.08 06:26 AM by TonyB

Hi,

love PAIN, had soooo much fun since it was released. Thank You !
My thoughts on new characters:
An Astronaut with heavy breathing and space-walk moves and a 70's dare devil as homage to the late, great Evil Knievel ! With stars n stripes cape, helmet etc.
Can't wait for the "Fun with explosives" singleplayer mode.
Painful greetz from Germany
Megalon23
PS -> Poll-out the avarage age of the Pain-Adicts ... would be interesting to see !



Posted on 01.10.08 16:07 PM by Kai

Any chance we will get PS characters like Ratchet or Kratos?

Posted on 01.11.08 00:37 AM by Zookey

I think the game wants to make money, not pay it out in license fees. Plus... Sorry if you don't agree (so don't yell at me!), but the characters are such a minor part of the game really. The map and objects make the game fun. Oh sure I enjoy smashing the mime and all, but I don't really care who I smash him with. I'm too worried about where the next car to hit me is, or what I have to do to avoid the FIRE HYDRANT OF DOOOOOOOM!!!! I'm sure some of you like the different characters, but in my downtown hood, it's game play that makes this title a winner!

Posted on 01.11.08 01:28 AM by TonyB

I agree with TonyB, The characters mean very little if game play sucks. I am still trying to find the UFO, that has got to be the to the moon trophy.

Posted on 01.11.08 02:56 AM by Superdaddy73

Hey Travis... What are the high scores among you guys at the office? Just wondering how I stack up with the "Pros"...

Posted on 01.11.08 05:10 AM by TonyB

Travis, Is that picture on the Man Hole door of the Idolminds crew? And the UFO can be seen from every window that faces behind the slingshot.

Posted on 01.11.08 06:35 AM by Superdaddy73

from the votes up there it's obvious we need a nurse in a cheernurse outfit lol... seriously cant wait for the new content... and online play plz

Posted on 01.11.08 07:39 AM by Masuyo

How about an Alien World Map or a Level Editor?

Posted on 01.12.08 02:54 AM by KingDragunov

Someone mentioned the erasing the "cheater" high scores. I know that they are not cheaters, is it a bug. I got 40 mil for just bombing something. 40 mil and I still didn't make the top ten.

I love this game, this is the only game that my wife will actually ask me to play. My wife playing a video game, who'd thunk it?

Posted on 01.12.08 05:09 AM by Stephen

But the 2 BILLION pointer is just hogwash!!

Posted on 01.12.08 05:54 AM by TonyB

Heres a vid I just made, Attempting the 100ft mime toss. Still no trophy. I've managed to get the mime to clear the buildings completely and still no trophy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noxSKnkRuLk

Sigh.


Posted on 01.12.08 10:21 AM by MalachiRuffy

I to am having trophy trouble, I know I have flown over 2000ft in one launch but no trophy. What gives???

Posted on 01.12.08 15:27 PM by Superdaddy73

maybe the mimes can't touch the ground? just a thought

Posted on 01.12.08 17:18 PM by jrabin93

So folks when are you gonna get an add-on content for HVB online gameplay ?

Posted on 01.12.08 22:21 PM by choochie

"maybe the mimes can't touch the ground? just a thought"

No, I've launched the mime clear over the large smokestacks on the right(Not the ones you can go into)
The mime never landed, Never touched the ground, he literally went passed the buildings then fell off the edge of the map into nothing.

Posted on 01.13.08 09:29 AM by MalachiRuffy

How to get the Cross Town 2000ft Trophy

First use Cookie in Paindemonium.

Second, Launch off the slingshot aiming for the middle of the 3 smoke stacks.

While in the air do her laying on her back pose (L2 or L1+X) and drift really high then really low so she is almost completely vertical going in (this takes practice).

After she goes in, a split second before you hit the explosive crate at the bottom hold X.

The whole process could take a couple dozen tries but if you do this right it will send you soaring so high that you'll get like 40 secs of airtime and you won't even be able to see her on screen. And when she comes down you'll get like 2or three good bounces out of her before it thinks she's really down.

Posted on 01.13.08 11:00 AM by Lord_Malice

How to get the Mime Toss trophy

Prepare for a powerful Launch at the mimes hair and do the low grab (X).

After you grab Ooch down and let go immediately afterwards.

Heres the hard part, you have to throw him at a height higher than the hotel building to get the right distance.

**************IMPORTANT*************
The reason why this or other trophies might not work is because you have to hit the ground before they register, so if theres no ground to hit you won't get it. And most of the time there is no ground. So you have to find a sweet spot while blindfolded. Kinda like a catch-22. But you'll get it eventually.

Posted on 01.13.08 11:18 AM by Lord_Malice

Tell me if either of those worked for you. I'll try to make a video eventually.

Posted on 01.13.08 11:20 AM by Lord_Malice

None worked for me, In my video I posted you can see I got higher than the hotel AND landed on the ground.

I've gone over the hotel and landed on the ground. I've gone over the hotel, into the vent, flown across the map and landed behind the construction site.

As for the 2000ft thing. I've tried that many times as well. With cookie and the smokestacks. I've had it where she was nothing but a pixel on the screen. Landed on the ground and nothing.

Posted on 01.13.08 14:05 PM by MalachiRuffy

Travis and team,

As a huge fan of the game I gotta ask, why in the world is the final December picture of the month Hung Lo, yet in reality he wont be playable until mid-late February. In my opinion thats just cruel. How can you show an in game picture, yet not have him available for download? Bottom line, I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but to keep customers and fans, you gotta be fair and honest. My birthday is Feb. 10th, so if ya could at least get us a character by then it would be greatly appreciated.
Finally I would recommend NOT saying something's about ready for download when its not even in testing yet. Very very dumb move. Im patient so i'll still be waiting, but your loosing customers by the day with your lies. Keep that in mind.
Besides that, GREAT GAME. Whats up wit that UFO?

Posted on 01.13.08 16:52 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

Travis,

Ok this may have been posted already but it just spawned on me, a new game mode.

How about Pain-Golf!

Heres how it works:

Within each level there will be 18 holes (think manholes) located around the level. For instance, for this particular mode, When you first start hole number 1 will be indicated on the map. You will get one shot to get your golfer into the hole via slingshot. Par if you do, bogey if you dont, and possibly birdie or eagle if you obtain a certain (high score from destruction) and make your golfer in the hole or possible double or triple bogey if you reach the high scores and dont get your golfer in the hole). Then on to the next hole located somewhere on the level. Each hole would have a different location and could be anywhere on the level even on roofs. Hopefully you get the idea. I think this would be loads of fun and add a ton of replay value. It would be golf, but Pain style. If you need more info regaurding this let me know. I have it all mapped out for you guys in my head. You have to make this mode! Thanks

Posted on 01.14.08 19:32 PM by Tripp

That pain-golf sounds sweet.......... Travis, can you please tell us when new levels are coming out? Characters are cool, but we need new levels

thnx

Posted on 01.15.08 06:04 AM by Matt2793

hey Ruffy did you try ooching while in the for the 2000 ft. trophy... nvm, this game is probably incomplete AND broke. Its worse than some of those low-budget PS2 games that still release a year after the PS3 debuded. Its more like a PSone game that released a a year after the PS2 debuded, only it came with a community board where developer lies is a reacurring theme. You know what? The idea of SONY allowing a developer a chance to create a game giving its community a chance to help create it wouldn't be such a bad idea, IF they left it up to a more competant company to do the job. All I have gotten from this game other than the initial week of surprise and giggles is a chance to speak out to my fellow gamers while wasting my breathe telling IDOL MINDS of its latest attempt at suckering money out of loyal customers. I've been listenening since early Dec, and all I've sensed from this board is a lot off LIES, DECEPTION, and OPEN HOSTILITY toward the gamers not afraid to question whats really goin on here

Posted on 01.15.08 07:10 AM by Lord_Malice

You mean to tell me that you didn't pre-design Santa, Cookie, and Hung Lo before you even launched? You mean to tell me that you didn't throw that garbage ninja or pirate poll out there to give a false sense of inclusion, or ownership when it seemed clear to me that more people polled pirate. And now your saying that its going to take 45-60 days to create a charecter that, apparently from the multiplayer screen, has been in the works since the game launched. I can't begin to imagine all the other companies, gamming, magazine or otherwise that are laughing at all the negative comments on this board, especially for a game that hasn't even been out for 6 months yet. I'll bet that someone somewhere has an article outlined for this to release in some upcoming magazine. I have never been so angry and disapointed in a company, or so embarassed to say that I'm one of the ones who helped you get away with it. This is just plain ridiculose. And no number of sugar-coated article links can change that.

Posted on 01.15.08 07:26 AM by Lord_Malice

I know SONY has to be taking note of this fiasco. If I were them I put an end to it.

Posted on 01.15.08 07:27 AM by Lord_Malice

After looking at the poll, Ninja did win, so I reneg that comment and that comment alone.

Posted on 01.15.08 07:52 AM by Lord_Malice

I agree with Malice... I was so hyped over this game... and to see that the Motorstorm Team is putting out so much content weekly... including track, skins, modes... is telling me that IDOL Minds is exactly what they are... IDOL Developers. PSN really needed a concept like PAIN. And at first glance it was an awesome idea. But with false polls, lack of content, and a "hurry up and wait" mentality... this game has failed. I don't download demo's. Never have... never will. And I truly feel that not only have I downloaded a demo by mistake... but I have paid money for this. Its easy to attack Travis for all this... but Travis isnt the culprit... and I'm not going to shoot the messenger. You have lost a customer, gamer, and someone that promoted your product and waited and waited and waited. Good luck with your game... and Pain fans... good luck waiting to be nickel and dimed.

Yes, And I'll be posting a few more vids and pictures of the trophys that simply wont work for me.

Posted on 01.16.08 01:29 AM by MalachiRuffy

seems like the developers have a little 'spaining to do!!!
Travis IS just the messenger, and I woulden't direct any of the hostility twords him, HOWEVER.....he did give the interview and he did say somewhere in the next 45 to 60 days for a launch of new stuff....so maybe someone over on the dark side of this force could clear up some of this hype and give us promoters of their fine work,some answers....then maybe they could save face and get back what their losing...CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!

Posted on 01.16.08 01:47 AM by THEfireman

I just relized something...after reading some of the comments made by this community, I think that the team over at idol minds should have invested in some of their hard earned cash..(OOPS...DID I JUST SAY THAT?)..and have hired some of the people in this community who have seen through all deception and have asked some very interesting questions about all that has been goin on in here....

Posted on 01.16.08 01:52 AM by THEfireman

Travis / Pain Team:

I just got done reading all the posts, and my god. Its just pure dissapointment. You see all these fans of the game, loose interest each week you give us a theme rather than something playable. In my opinion, you guys need to use some juggalo tactics in order to get your fans back. What are juggalo tactics you ask? Juggalo tactics means when you mess up, you make it right, even if it takes a chunk out of your wallet. Why would you do that you ask? To regain trust, so that more money can be put in your wallet in the long run. It seems while you work on your world releases, you're forgetting about the fans who waited for this game, not just its release, but its upgrades. AKA THE USA!! Teasing us with what we will get soon (which turns out to be something not even in testing yet) only causes anger. Each week we check the Playstation store for pain downloads, only to find games that are coming out with greater depth to them then your game, and a theme to download that only pisses us off everytime we boot up our ps3's cause we dont have a ninja to toss. It seems you're more interested in giving us something to try and shut us up, rather than something for us to enjoy. Bottom line, Hung Lo has got to be free. Scurv Dogg, free. I know fun with explosives is already free, but lets face it, it has to be. It should've already been in the game when we bought it. You GIVE something to your customers, the will give ($$$) back. Making us pay more for a game we are already frustrated with is wrong. Let me just simplify it, if you try and charge me for anything until that amusement park release, im givin up on this game.

Everyone,

I will try to explain this again because it seems like every time I do people get it for a week or so and then everyone gets impatient again.

There is a process for delivering content on our console. We (much like every development team) are subject to it. This means that after we “believe” (and I can’t stress that word believe enough) we are done we must QA the code to make sure that this is in fact the case. This takes time. No posts on the message boards will hasten this process. This is done so that you all don’t get code that is “broken”. I want to thank everyone in QA (In San Diego and worldwide) for making this happen.

As I have said before we are in the process of launching PAIN in Asia and Europe. We are in the final stages of QA and expect release soon. As soon as I get a date from our format QA I will be able to tell you. When this happens we will update the US PAIN to the worldwide version and will make F.W.E.

XMB Theme work is not game development and does not slow down the PAIN development process. The PAIN XMB Themes we make are just FREE items that we can produce that let you customize your desktop. Would you rather we gave you nothing?

@Juggalo: I am not sure what you mean by tactics but the plan is simple. There are items in PAIN that we feel are worthy of a sale price and things that I feel should be free. Before the Amusement Park launches you will see both. I feel the mix makes sense. You are free to disagree with me (that’s what this forum is for). You say that we seem to be forgetting about the USA. If that were the case we wouldn’t be here updating the community site now would we? We could be silent but we decided to give you all a forum. If I didn’t care would I be answering you now?

We are not “teasing” you with things not in test. Hung Lo IS in test (along with other characters). We are giving you a choice of who gets released first. Which prioritizes our testing/development efforts. I have no interest in “shutting you up” If anything the XMB theme releases are there to show you that we are still supporting PAIN and will be releasing game mods in the future.

Proclaiming something “should” be free doesn’t make it so. Just because you feel like a mode should be free doesn’t mean we agree with you. And just for the record could you tell me which PSN game has more depth than PAIN. I would like to know what you are basing your argument on.

Like I said in the interview we are close to releasing this content. I am sorry we aren’t working fast enough for everyone. But we are in fact in “dancing as fast as we can”. I guess the only thing I didn’t count on is how fast you would want more content. With my next blog posting I promise to enlighten you on how we plan on attacking all these issues. I will post this next week when I am in the UK (making sure everyone is on the same PAIN page).

It’s clear that some of you aren’t happy. I get it. It’s also clear that you all want more content. I get that as well. So I’m just asking you to trust me for now. On my next update I will attempt to give you more of a roadmap as to where we are taking this product. I hope you are around to read it.

@Malice: Thanks for calling this a fiasco. I will find some way to taunt you. * wink * I’m gonna make you famous.

-Travis

I believe it was the great ERIC CARTMAN who said it the best.... "Screw you guys...I'm going home!"....."AH AH...Screw you guys...Home" To play Stardust HD, they have put in some great features and updates....

"I guess the only thing I didn’t count on is how fast you would want more content."

Really? You didn't count on people wanting more than just one level? Curiouser and curiouser...

Posted on 01.16.08 09:05 AM by jmiscavish

I agree with lord malice.... we NEED more content.

I used to play PAIN everyday, but now idont because it is so repetative!

If you add more stuff, i WILL buy it, but please make it soon.

Posted on 01.16.08 09:29 AM by Matt2793

@Jmiscavish: The comparison of PAIN being one level has been noted and disputed. It takes quite a bit of time to layout a mode and it involves more than just a new coat of paint. There are in fact 6 "levels" of PAIN and within those levels various degrees of difficulty some which have completely different rule sets. PAIN isn't asteroids where we can change the background color give you a slightly different looking boulder and call it a new level. So lets not be so quick to judge shall we?

@Matt: Thanks dude we are making new stuff as we speak. And when it's ready I am not going to hold it back.

Posted on 01.16.08 09:44 AM by travis williams

Alright, I've said my piece, for now. I'll once again slip into the backround, watching, waiting. Don't get me wrong, I'll be waiting to see if you guys get it right. Not to see you get it wrong. Believe it or not I don't like getting the attention as "The Bad Guy". I'd much rather be telling my friends about an idea I have being put into a game instead of telling them how much I bad-mouthed it. But, so long as I feel somethings wrong and you guys still allow me to speak on it, then I shall speak. By the way, I appreciate you guys not doing something like filtering out the negative comments. Thats at least one area you guys show some integrity (thats the only...nvm I'll be good).

But I'm still watching you.

Thanks for that. Smile

Posted on 01.16.08 10:37 AM by travis williams

come on guys stop begging for content the answer is WHEN ITS DONE they are other games out there to play and stop pushing the devs to do things they cant PAIN isnt just all they do i am very satisfied with the game so far and can't wait for more releases o and i think the characters should cost money costing as much as a frekin soda to get plus its not like you NEED them thanks devs for making one frekin hilariously awesome game Smile

Posted on 01.16.08 11:25 AM by CBdaQB

Hey CBdaQB...Can I sell you a period or a comma? HA! Just funnin with ya... A lot of us have tried being patient... It just gets hard after a while... We just have enjoyed the game so much, that we are out of options. In my house we started playing PAIN the night it was released, and we still play every night. We'll play tonight after work as well... But it has been too long since we have had any DLC. The christmas characters were funny for a second, but thats all. It's the game play we love, and a new map/theme is what we need. I think if we had not had the "coming soon" carrot dangled in front of us it would be different. The devo's understand how long that means...we don't!!! We are gamers, we go to the store, buy a game and play it...simple. But when we get only a part of a game, and yes guys, this is not a full game, it is bothersome. As much as I love the game, it should have been delayed until more content was ready. There have been a lot of great ideas put up on these comment boards, but if they really wanted input, they should have asked for it a long time ago. Having us vote for characters release order is not really input. Thats just asking us which one we want to see a week earlier than the other. BHAAA!!! So yet again I will stop my grumbling and go stand in the corner, I just wanted those people who haven't been here from the begining to understand that we are not trying to be jerks, we are just bothered by the "coming soons" and "in a couple weeks" that we have been fed here. We know the Devos are working to get stuff done and they are reading our comments, it's just time to throw the dogs a bone... Love the game...waiting for more...trying to smile about it... No harm meant...I still tell people to buy it. Sorry,Please,Thanks and Your Welcome wherever aplicable....C-YA!

Not that I want to create any waves on the boards here, I do understand that it does take time to get everything tested. So I will appologize to the ones that have to take the flack when they have to respond to all our beechin, so, there you have it....I eagerly look forward to obtaining the latest and greatest downloads when you get them to us....from this day onward, NO MORE COMPLAINING FROM ME!!!!! I would rather make a possitive remark than a discrediting one. You have made a great game and therefor should be commended for your efforts. Keep the peace and enjoy the PAIN that this company have given us!!!!!

Posted on 01.17.08 12:10 PM by THEfireman

Is there anything new in PAIN yet?!?! I havent even turned the game on in a month. So dont even know. Was waiting for so long for some new stuff that I lost interest. It is a cool concept and a cool game just way too little content to keep me interested for more than a week. My friends had a good time over a weekend then it just got old. Hope there is something new sometime to maybe get some interest. guess they should have waited to release this game till they had a little more of it ready for release. cuz it sounds like most people think the same thing as me. Maybe ill turn it on to see if I want to play for 10 mins tonight before I get bored again. Great game, Great Concept, Terrible amount of content. And if we have to 2 bucks or more for every little thing in this game it is easily going to be the most expensive game on the console before long, and still have less content, the way its going thats for sure. Just my 2 cents. Next time be more prepared, and have more content ready for release, you should have known better people.

Posted on 01.17.08 14:38 PM by 2speedy1

And I agree 100% with TonyB. He Is Exactly Right!!!! With the coming soons and all. And the Having more ready to start. He has it in a Nutshell!!!

Posted on 01.17.08 14:45 PM by 2speedy1

Travis,

Did you not see my post about a new game mode? Please give me something that lets me know you actually read it. Do a search on golf in this thread and you should find it. Do you think it is a good idea? Is it possible? Do you think it will be fun? Feedback please.

Thanks man and keep up the hard work.

Posted on 01.17.08 16:42 PM by Tripp

Ok travis man i just wonder what have you guys been doing over there because not to be "The Bad Guy" as quoted by lord malice.
But hey this game isnt the best looking so making characters cant be to hard because look there is not 1 thing that came with the game but a level and what 3 characters.

So ive been just coming home from school and waking up for school and any time i have i come here to check whats going down you know i hate the thursdays i jump up like i cant wait till after school awww man PAIN!!!!!new maps new characters to come home to then i come home.

NOTHING!!!!!!

Its good you guys are being safe and taking your time but way way to long for some small stuff you know like i actually think that the themes are pretty cool so good job but i wish i could say it about content i cant stress it enough I JUST WANT CONTENT!!!

i know you hear it all to much and you are sick of it most of my comments just pop up i like to see what people think of what i say and what they say about the game but idk what to do but wait so everybody STFU n let them work!!!! GOOD LUCK AT IDOL MINDS

Posted on 01.17.08 16:51 PM by TeH-SicKNess

Well I finally deleted the game. I just came back here after a few days to see if Travis or anyone had responded and defended against all the negative comments. Plus it aggravates me when I waste money. The game is shallow I've determined that. I got more enjoyment out of Everyday Shooter (which I still have on my PS3) and it was made by ONE guy.

Travis understand that downtown is still downtown. No matter how many more barrels or signs you put in it. When people want and talk of more levels. They refer to something that isn't related to downtown. Frankly I still understand why you weren't making the amusement park while you were working on the main game. Apparently the amusement park was planned all along, because of signs in the game. Doesn't really seem that smart to start working on after the game is released.

I guess you overestimated the lasting power of the game though and that people would be having fun with it longer than they have.

Posted on 01.17.08 17:46 PM by Neon Reaver

I still find it pitiful that in the end people are thinking they are getting a bargain on this game what with it being 10 dollars, but by the time all the extra stuff comes if it comes. The game will be a 20, 30, or 40 dollar game. Sort of off topic. It's even worse with Motorstorm, because with all that downloadable content that game being a retail game is now probably like a 80 dollar game and people are none the wiser.

Posted on 01.17.08 17:49 PM by Neon Reaver

Interesting!

Posted on 01.17.08 19:58 PM by alphavs0mega

PAIN CREW,

Wow, I appreciate you responding to my post. Exspecially so quickly. As I have said and I will continue to say, I LOVE PAIN. I dont think I could ever stop loving it. You raise a very good point about the themes, plus they are free, so ya got me on that one, my foot is in my mouth and I will shut up about that. By games with more depth, I speak of games that add more, such as skins and full tracks (usually more than one) for motostorm, extra cars for need for speed by the buttloads things like that.
More than anything I guess I just don't understand how if you have an in-game screen shot of Hung Lo in December, why he's not ready for download in December, or at least January. THAT WAS/IS NOT FAIR, THAT WAS A TEASE!!! I don't understand how a character could need so much testing (and he's a little person at that). LOL. As far as ignoring the USA goes, no, communication wise you do not, and that is why I love the game so much and why I will continue to support the game and your team. Good posts, bad posts, you respond no matter what. That's impressive. A rare quality. It just seem that your trying to put so much into the international versions that your not allowing us downloads that probably could have been ready by now.
NOW THAT THAT'S OUTTA THE WAY.

2 great character ideas:

MARCH - a leprechaun for St. Patty's day. What could be more fun, or more funny than shooting/bouncing a little scottish fella around while drinking some green beer(21 or older only of course(If your under 21,lime soda or kool aid). Plus the audio phrases are almost endless. LOL..."oHoHHHohhh, ME GOLD DEBLOONS."

APRIL - Obviously the easter bunny/someone in a bunny costume. LOL. His/Her phrases could involve cracking/scrambling/breaking of eggs. I know I wanna see it. Anyone else?

In conclusion I have

Posted on 01.17.08 21:13 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

How the hell...?
As I was sayin,
In conclusion I have 1 question...is there any possibility for blood (possibly as some kind of code/cheat?) and/or broken bone sounds?

Posted on 01.17.08 21:14 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

Trip,

Im not travis, or the crew, but I agree wit the golf, it would be great. The scoring could be a little complicated, but I think it seems very plausable.

HOWEVER, I think even better than golf would be pool.
Why use a stick and cue ball when you can use a character and a slingshot. It would take a new map, but it would be a very simple map. I feel this is a must. Anyone else agree wit me?

Posted on 01.17.08 21:22 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

I have an idea for levels. There should be one level for each character, based on the character themselves. Basically, Jarvis already has his own level (Downtown), Ed's level would be a farm, Santa and Candy's level/s would be The North Pole or a Toy Store/Toy Factory. Hung Lo's level would be some medieval Chinese/Japanese kingdom/castle or something like that, maybe even the great wall of China? And then Scurv Dogg's level would be like a huge pirate ship or something, or an island with treasure boxes filled with explosives..something along those lines. I think you all get my point Smile can't wait for new content!

Posted on 01.17.08 23:43 PM by jrabin93

----MutilaRJuggalo, I was Thinking the SAME THING. A CODE OR SERIAL # TO ENTER TO ENABLE BLOOD THAT WOULD BE GREAT, or SOUND F/X. Blood code as in The Original "Mortal Kombat". It would defiantly give the feeling of the characters being more lively, and not such child-like doll thats being banged in to things. Although for a good 3 weeks I laughed my a$$ off every time I launched a character in that over-sized sling shot and hear the "dong" of their head hit something. All in All it would be nice to liven up the characters a little bit via "the blood code".

Ok I don't think you guys appreciate the fact that writing code isn't a quick and easy thing. there's testing, debugging, more testing more debugging ect that needs to happen before a final product can be released. There is A LOT going on in just one of these levels! there are a ton of animations that go along with each and every launch. I'm not even a game programmer and I definitely see what they would have to go through.

@ Neon Reaver : You mentioned that only ONE guy created everyday shooter.....yes that's true, but a: there's not nearly as much going on in a level of Everyday Shooter as there is in a level of PAIN and b) you forgot to mention the fact that while ONLY ONE guy created the game, it took him a few years to fully build! You make it out like this guy wrote the game over the weekend!!!

@ The PAIN Team........I love the game, and am definitely looking forward to new game modes and new levels, but I'm waiting patiently for it....keep up the good work!!!!

Posted on 01.18.08 10:05 AM by sicdude

@sicdude: You make the point even more obvious, that they should have had way more content ready for this game or been way farther along in developement of this game before launching when they did. Basically, they charged us for a sneak peek, at a really cool game dont get me wrong, but please, not a full game by any means, all these coming soons over the last 2 months are getting old. Apparently they really hadn't even started additional content when they launched this in the first place and started asking for our ideas. I really think if they would have called this a demo, and said the full version was coming out in spring '08 then started this site for all this ideas and opinions you would not see all the upset people here. But calling what we got a full game, charging us for it. Then every week saying they are going to update us on the cool stuff thats coming, but just telling us that, we really are going to love the cool stuff thats "coming soon." That we will have to pay extra for besides, is really starting to tick people off. Instead of leading people on, give it to us straight then maybe we wouldnt get so mad. At least give us some realistic dates and expectations, this soon bull is just that bull. What are you working on, and when will it be done if you cant give us that then just tell us you dont know or you cant tell us. Or say its going to be a 2 to 3 months or 2 to 3 weeks something like that. When you say soon gamers think 2 to 3 days, so if you dont want to get peoples hopes up start giving a little more detail or none at all. I do love PAIN its a cool game its a great concept. Its just not a complete game and needs content to justify even the 10 dollar price tag. let alone the 12 I have in it.

Posted on 01.18.08 13:21 PM by 2speedy1

2speedy1 basically summed up all the negative comments for the past 2 months. I couldn't have put it better myself. I know I promised not to be negative, but when someone can put all my frustration into one message, I must applaud them. 2speedy1 is one of the "Fearless Speakers". Kudos

Alright, the only thing I'm pretty annoyed at is that Jason Coker said Hung Lo would be released in a COUPLE of a weeks. Its been past a couple since he said that and he hasn't been released. Seriously, when will he??

Posted on 01.20.08 01:00 AM by Ramy

3-4 weeks ramy

Posted on 01.20.08 02:38 AM by MutilatRJuggalo

See I took the word "couple" as 2 because thats what it is. He should have said a FEW weeks to a MONTH if thats the case. Whatever though, I just hope its soon.

Posted on 01.20.08 03:01 AM by Ramy

Didn't somebody throw an idea up for a circus themed map? I thinks so... Well that sounds like a great idea...Replace the slingshot with a "human cannon"! Pop balloons for multiplippers (our word for multipliers) great noises when you bounce off the elephants. A clowntoss replaces the mimetoss, because I hate clowns as much as I hate mimes. grab the horses running in the center ring, knock the tight-rope walker off (into a net?...NAH!!!) clown cars, many animals, dancers, trapeezes to grab, ringmaster to pummel, cotton candy guy in the stands, areas that are hard to get to like the back stage area, Man there are a lot of things to do. Who ever said this first, I give you credit. I think it would be great.

Posted on 01.21.08 06:04 AM by TonyB

@ Whom it may concern at IDOLMINDS:

I don't know if this will get heard in this whole Macy's day parade of commentary, but here goes:

What about a VOODOO DOLL with stitches 'n pins or some kind of DIY doll with the added option to load anyone's face onto it (your boss, the president, your ex, YOURMOM!).

I REALLY want to launch my boss into a brick wall... you could just have it make muffled "Mmmph Mm MMORMMPH!!" when it's launched.

Posted on 01.22.08 14:23 PM by Bobechi

I agree to 100 per cent with Bobechi. Load up persons shoul be possible, remember EyeToy where it was possible too. But of course, we´re talking about a whole body which has to be created, so it could take a VERY long time to make something like that...
But its a great idea, just like a Level Editor!
Go on PAIN Team / Idolminds Wink

Posted on 01.22.08 15:48 PM by KingDragunov

"[a doll] to load anyone's face onto" The keyword is face, as in photo of so-and-so's face pasted onto a voodoo doll body.
Have you see a voodoo doll, KingDragunov? like you put a piece of the persons clothing, hair sample, and a photograph of their face to curse them... oh, nevermind!

Posted on 01.22.08 16:10 PM by Bobechi

lol, I get it. Sheer genius. Thats the best idea yet, well after the knight Lord Malice (or some other knightly name) and the castle theme idea. There should also be a game mode kinda like pint the tail on the donkey, only instead of a donkey you use the doll. And instead on pinning a tail on it you lauch it at the map with tons on pins on it or other voodoo things like fires, giant mouse traps, buckets of water, guillotines, etc. Why you could even pre-load it with Travis' face to give everyone laughs and a way to take out there aggresion for the delays. Not to be mean to Travis or anything. Its not like we mean you any harm or nothin, Besides you'd need a personal item of the victims to hurt them. Something like a stray hair or piece of cloth mysteriously missing from the bottom of that one pair of khaki pants that almost looks like its been cut, or even from the unfinished pizza crust that someone spent all night last week digging through a Boulder dumpster in 4 degree weather to find. So no worries T

Posted on 01.22.08 19:11 PM by Lord_Malice

TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE CIRCUS THEME!!! That would be absolutley perfect for this game, exspecially with the cannon.
Using eyetoy to put on a face is a must too. You could never possibly get board with this game if you could do that. That leaves the possibilities endless. Good thinking.

Posted on 01.23.08 00:50 AM by MutilatRJuggalo

-a blank face on the jarvis body and eyetoy support would be great. Also blank face on cookie. Dont create a whole new character as it takes too long.
-Costumes for cookie and santa so that their not xmas(change for other seasons? Easter? Valentines? Holloween?, Turkey!"
-Circus level would be great.
-Open mall level would be nice.
-Pirate ship level(Think vegas or amusement park ride not on real water) People waiting in line.
-Airport level with alot of people walking with luggage and explosive crates(wonder if the ps3 can handle the physics on this)
-How about a trebuchet launcher!
-Custom music update needed.
-Fix trophy's
-Online Play for multiplayer games.
-MC Hammer-like Character, with parachute pants. You already have vanilla ice jarvis Tong, maybe make the pirate have that as a costume.
-Some kind of darts game. Possibly with a jetpack, launch from the launcher, aim with drifting and press a button to zoom across the map at mach 4 with flames coming out from the jetpack. Good for multiplayer if it follows the bowling type of play.

Posted on 01.23.08 17:22 PM by MalachiRuffy

another idea: how about creating an own move-set of a list of moves? i mean using the same moves every time gets a lil boring. if you had the chance to change this, it would be real great.
Peace everyone Wink

Posted on 01.23.08 19:04 PM by KingDragunov

OK, This one is VERY IMPORTANT... We need to see a running tally of the score on the replays!!!!! Nothing is worse than getting a mystery 3 million points on a turn you thought you messed up on, and not being able to say why! This is most true for horse, because boy oh boy people get mad when you take down their hard earned score with a lucky break. And I was also thinking about a Combo list... Maybe 100 combos to try for then you get some sort of unlockable. Train car+Bowling ball, swinging girder+cop car, glass truck+Mime, etc... The catch is you have to hit them in order with nothing else between. I guess this could be a game mode unto itself...Call it COMBO MADNESS!!!!!

Posted on 01.23.08 20:27 PM by TonyB

for the cirus, a cannon not slingshot to shoot the people with would be cool.

Posted on 01.24.08 03:49 AM by zakupilot256

Oh and me and my PAINgang have a request... Is it possible to remap the reset/end turn button from R1 to the select button? When you are trying for that last ditch ooch and mashing buttons, it is WAY TOO EASY to hit R1 by mistake. New players really have a hard time with this, but us seasoned "pros" do it from time to time as well. It's just in a bad spot, and the select button isn't used in the game screens, only before you shoot. Anyone care to support us in this request, I know we can't be the only ones who have this problem!!!!

Posted on 01.24.08 06:52 AM by TonyB

THAT IS NOT 50/50 !! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??

TAKE YOUR TIME BUT TELL US 4-7 WEEKS NOT A COUPLE WEEKS. WHEN YOU SAY 4-7 WEEKS AND ITS RELEASED 3-5 WEEKS EVERYONE IS HAPPY, BUT WHEN YOU SAY A COUPLE WEEKS (2 WEEKS) AND ITS 3-5 WEEKS WE GET (ANXIOUS, IMPATIENT, ANGRY, ETC..) YOU GET MY DRIFT. ALL IN ALL WE'RE ANXIOUS BECAUSE OF THE WORDS THAT WERE USED. FEBRUARY IS TOMORROW SO FROM HERE I WON'T EXPECT ANYTHING TILL EARLY MARCH. THANK YOU FOR FREEDOM OF COMMENTS.

Posted on 01.25.08 03:02 AM by Project_a13

It is 50% because it rounds the % points. Currently, the Cheerleaders (1407) are at 50.4% and the Nurses (1383)are at 45.5%.

Been what like 10 days now since the PAIN CREW even commented in here. To me this means they really have No Idea when anything additional will be ready for PAIN, we have all asked for some real idea on some real dates and they just say soon. Even when they said a couple weeks that came and went more than a couple weeks ago and still nothing. So here in the USA I am sure we wont be seeing any additional content any time soon and I am sure the PAIN Team wont commit to giving us any specific information on when we can expect any additional content either. I would guess for those of you that are in the other markets like Europe, should not hold your breath, you might pass out! I Have to say I was sitting quietly and patiently waiting for a long time, but well enough is enough. I think those of us here in Paindemonium deserve some answers to what really is going on. Had Idol Minds even started additional content when they released Pain? Is anything additional even close to being ready? If you say close, how close? Dont just say soon or a couple weeks, because obviously, what you think is soon and/or a couple weeks differs greatly from what the rest of us think! What are the people at Idol Minds actually working on? The things you talk about in here or are you just bouncing ideas off of us and you havent even started working on them yet? Obviously, alot of people are getting fed up with this, many have voiced their opinions and dont even come in here anymore. One thing We could all have fun with this like everyone does with "Playstation Home" Ya know..."New Pain content is coming out today in the store!!!!!...........Gotcha!!!" I think Pain is going to become the next joke of PSN.....everyone teasing of new content that never comes.

Posted on 01.25.08 04:46 AM by 2speedy1

You guys @ Idol Minds aren't working on "Duke Nukem Forever" are you... Cuz that would explain alot.

Keep it clean people...kids hit up this site...That being said, it is yet again disapointing that there was nothing new this week, although that fit right in with the rest of the update... Wow a lousy week for DLC all the way around... I think I'll go buy rock band just so I have something to DL every week!

Posted on 01.27.08 11:39 AM by TonyB

Oh..and Travis..Maybe a word from you guys is due, just to give us some light in the middle of the tunnel... Been a while since we heard from you...

Posted on 01.27.08 11:42 AM by TonyB

hey guys... i changed my password

i wont let it happen again

plz forgive me

Posted on 01.27.08 11:51 AM by Matt2793

Im sure they really don't have anything to say. Just have to look back at my last few points. They can't say anything I'm guessing. They know we aren't going to fall for the "just wait and see the cool stuff we are working on" and the "soon" and the"couple week" B.S. anymore! so what can they say.

Posted on 01.27.08 12:19 PM by 2speedy1

I think it would be sweet to have like a stadium theme and have different types of events like launching your character through rings of fire or even a high jump event.

Posted on 01.27.08 15:49 PM by Brandon

How about the first annual "PAIN O'Limpics" where you can get shotput instead of launched, Javalin to the torso, hurtled on the track(hurt being the key word), hammered throwed in the head, you know all the great olympics set in PAIN style!!!! there could be endless attractions to be seen in these events!!!!

Posted on 01.27.08 17:11 PM by THEfireman

yea that sounds great

Posted on 01.27.08 18:30 PM by Matt2793

Hey Travis,

The Playstation homepage on my PS3 says that the European PAIN version is to be released in february, can you confirm this?




Posted on 01.27.08 18:33 PM by Timghil

So are you guys frustrated at the PAIN Team, or really frustrated at yourselves for buying a product you didn't research? I'm sure PAIN development is coming along just fine...and if not...if they said " To hell with all these whiny people" and pulled the plug, I wouldn't lose any sleep. I still enjoy playing the game as it is now. I'm looking forward to the expansions, but give them time.

Posted on 01.28.08 06:18 AM by SandSkorpion

Posted on 01.30.08 03:52 AM by KingDragunov

@Timghil: What web site gave you that info on the european release date?? I looked for it and could not find anything like that. God i Hope it does release this month , so everyone can stop Bitch'n about it and just play the game.

Posted on 01.30.08 05:14 AM by Superdaddy73

Im pretty sure that the europe relase is this thursday, the 7th.

Posted on 01.30.08 07:13 AM by whitegold58

Can anyone explain why everything seems to have a "Thursday" release date , What is so important about "Thursday". "Thursday" is nothing but the 4th "Monday" of the week, Right???Come on you know I am right!

Posted on 01.30.08 14:36 PM by Superdaddy73

yeah...they should release everything on Mondays....that way we would all look forward to Mondays and they would be the best day of the week!!!!

Posted on 01.31.08 08:56 AM by THEfireman

They have a psn store update every thursday.

Hey Travis and Team, Just a couple of non-gameplay related requests..if possible in future patches, can there be a custom soundtrack and in game friendlist messaging option? These are things that will keep players attached to the game as I'm sure you all know. Let us know if it's a possiblity.
Thanks!

Well I think I am going to move on to better things. Maybe I will put his game to the side for like a year and then comeback and it will have a ton of upgrades. For now I will just play twisted metal or something or concentrate my video gaming time to GTA4 previews. Hope you give us lots and lots of upgrades cause by this time next year I may be looking to upgrade... if I dont forget about this game completely. Cheers.

Posted on 02.01.08 09:34 AM by Tripp

Since You guys don't seem to want to say anything anymore, I'll tell a joke!

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off..

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

"It's gone! It's all GONE! "I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.

Satan observed this and became irate.

"Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

God just shrugged and said,

JESUS SAVES

Posted on 02.02.08 23:41 PM by TonyB

What I'm getting to is...I want a Jesus to slingshot into the bowling ball!!! C'mon! He can yell "YOU ARE SAAAAAAVVVVVEEEEDDDDD!!!!! HA!!!

Excellent Joke and a great way to break the tension , This Blog was getting way to serious and a drag to read. But I do understand I to am getting very annoyed with the waiting but I think our wait is shorter than it was.

Posted on 02.03.08 03:26 AM by Superdaddy73

defenitely... we need more jokes

im gonna tell my friends that one

Posted on 02.03.08 05:18 AM by Matt2793

Thankyou idolminds, I have now completely lost faith in you. I came in from school today, expecting to find PAIN as a download but no, I found SKYDIVING, A LOST PLANET TRAILER AND A TUROK DEMO! I have been waiting for this game for over 3 months now, and if I dont see it in another week Im giving up waiting.

Posted on 02.03.08 18:34 PM by whitegold58

Well everyone...it's Thursday again. A few more hours and the Playstation store will be updated. Will we have Hung Lo and a new Single Player Fun With Explosives to download? Only time will tell. Let us pray to whichever god(s) everyone believes in and we will soon see. All I know is my birthday is in a few days, my house is now an igloo thanks to a gigantic blizzard, im stuck in my house, AND I NEED NEW CONTENT!!! No content, no more support for this game. Not anymore. Not from me and I hope from none of you. No one wants to be friends with a liar right? I don't think anyone wants to be a customer either. I love this game. Once again...let us pray.

Posted on 02.03.08 20:43 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

"OK, so I’ll give you all something about as concrete as I can – Hung Lo will be in the house in the next couple of weeks. Say Word.

What? ANOTHER Thursday here and we get nothing? Boy you guys are really out doing yourselves.

Posted on 02.03.08 23:11 PM by Ramy

why don't we all just do what Idol Minds has done to us. Lets ignore them. Lets just stop posting. When Travis puts up another "coming soon" blog... lets just ignore it. Lets send them the same message they have sent us. If you have something to say about PAIN... post it on gamefaq.

Posted on 02.04.08 01:11 AM by alphavs0mega

Horrible! They tell us last post nearly done with testing, then after they post that they say, no no no, they just went into testing, it'll be 3 weeks. WELL IT HAS BEEN, AND STILL NO HUNG LO!!! I GIVE UP. I DONT HATE THIS GAME, I HATE THE LIARS WHO CREATED IT. THE GAME ACTUALLY HAD POTENTIAL!! HAD!!!!!!! PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on 02.04.08 02:53 AM by MutilatRJuggalo

I know I am reaching for hope , But when they released this game it was not until Friday even though they said they were lauching on Thursday, So maybe they will update it after Midnight tonight. So there could still be hope.

Posted on 02.04.08 15:32 PM by Superdaddy73

I think they named their company Idol Minds for a certain reason.

Deleted PAIN 2 weeks ago. Haven't looked back since. I just feel that since I have paid IDOL MINDS $10 for this DEMO that I have a right to consistantly remind everyone how much they suck.

Posted on 02.05.08 06:14 AM by Christopher

O.K.
I am sick of coming on here everyday and reading about people wanting updates...

1st
whining will NOT make Idol Minds work faster
insulting Idol Minds will NOT make them work faster

2nd
Ok, lets get a show of hands: How many of you have created games before? How many of the games that YOU created have a HIGHLY advanced physics engine? Do ANY of you people have ANy clue as to how long it takes to first create new content and then to make ABSOLUTELY sure that there are ZERO errors with the content?

3rd
Why delete PAIN just because they aren't releasing stuff?
Eventually, they will release stuff, so if you keep the game, and just leave it alone for a year, maybe when you come back, there will be some new stuff!

just my thoughts...
P.S.
Idol Minds, keep up the good work!

Posted on 02.05.08 08:41 AM by Darendal

TeH-SicKNess, you just proved everyone that you are stupid. Don't you have another game than pain? Here is what I suggest: you play that other game and you wait for new stuff to come. Then, you'll decide if you want to buy it or not, if you choose to keep your money, well you should have done it the day you bought the game.

Posted on 02.05.08 12:17 PM by Pee_Wee

To all the 2 or 3 people who were making insults out of the company title "IDOL MINDS" you need to brush up on your basic grammar skills. IDOL is something like the Easter Island head on the logo (ever wonder why that was there?) while IDLE means lazy. I guess your 3rd grade grammar books haven't covered that yet. Don't worry, it is possible that you may one day be capable of having an adult conversation instead of merely continuing your meaningless lives behind a keyboard. Great game Travis. I can wait for the new content. And I will.

Posted on 02.05.08 15:57 PM by broda812

Good job defending them...
*Since theres absolutely NOTHING to talk about in terms of actual content and gameplay...
*Nothing like a grammar lesson on a video game blog run by lazy developers and English majors...
*Try and brush up on your basic math (addition anyone?)and count all the people who are unhappy with the lack of ANYTHING (Content, Gameplay, Pose of the MONTH, ect.), because we know your grammar is top notch.

Posted on 02.06.08 07:20 AM by Christopher

Why don't you go ahead and point out that IDLE MINDS misspelled OUCH in their game...
Maybe you can pick up some 3rd Grade Grammar Books for them while your out... FANBOY

Posted on 02.06.08 07:58 AM by KingDragunov

@Christopher - I'm guessing you are refering to the use of the word Ooch in the game. If you took the time to read some of the entries by Travis from SCEA, you'd find out that Ooch comes from Scooch. As in, a small amount, either of movement or substance;
Scooch that picture down on the left.
Scooch over a bit and let me in.
Just give me a scooch of that cheesecake.

Posted on 02.06.08 14:06 PM by PhoenixCE

i've sat idle-ly by for 3 months reading these posts. i had to finnally leave a post here this once to put my buck 05 in on all this. you ppl are using the ultimate video gaming master machine to shoot a person out of a giant slingshot. now dont get me wrong the game is cool and everything‚ but while you are waiting for new content why dont you try and play something else? hasnt anyone here ever heard of uncharted? i hear its getting a lot of awards! or perhaps you could try heavenly sword. you can have a battle with 10,000 soldiers at once! doesnt that sound fun?

all i am saying is be more patient, there are many other things you can do with the ps3 while you wait for new content.

and to travis and the team: this is a fun game, i await patiently while you finish up the new content. good job on a great game,
cheers

@darth- u are exactly right and i own UNCHARTED... it is amazing!

it might take them awhile cuz they are perfecting it.

Mercenaries:World in flames has been set back at least 5 times and NO ONE is complaining. this is just a $10 game. so what if it takes them a couple of months, im sure it will be worthwhile.(ignore all of my past comments... i finally understand)

Posted on 02.06.08 16:49 PM by Matt2793

Uhhh... Hey new people, before you bash the haters here, you should look back at all the nice things that were said about the game and the devos in the past. We all came here to love, but have been jilted so far. Most of us have let it go, but a few are still pretty mad. So stop trying to correct those who asr angry, most of them have a reason to be that way. We just want a new level. Tell you what, we'll work on some nicer comments, they'll be ready after some testing in just a couple weeks.

Posted on 02.06.08 16:54 PM by TonyB

uhh....dumbass..not new...

I bought the game the day it came out. Im just more patient than u. and sorry i didn't have the best comment for you...you didn't give me time to test it.....

Posted on 02.06.08 17:08 PM by tony

Thats not very nice... I didn't call you any names, as a matter of fact, I don't see your name anywhere on this post. So then I guess I wasn't referring to you at all, and you just called me dumbass for no reason. I hope Travis washes your mouth out with soap!

I would much prefer the actual game than waiting ages for the game AND content. I cant remember exactly what travis/someone else said, but it was something like "PAIN will be out in the UK with all the latest and upcoming content." Not being funny, but I really dont know how this game is taking so long just for another country. I mean, you dont have to change the voices and gameplay do you?

Posted on 02.07.08 20:14 PM by whitegold58

Well, if the people in UK want PAIN right now, they just have to create an US Account so they can download it, wheres the problem???

Posted on 02.07.08 21:56 PM by KingDragunov

I think it's all because of the MIME... Translating American French into English French is a long and arduous task... If an english person heard the mime say Sak-rAY-Blue, he would be very offended. So the guys have to translate it to Sa-Crey-bLew, which of course is offensive to us Americans. I'm sure the devos will be done with all these important tasks very soon...

Posted on 02.07.08 21:56 PM by TonyB

@Darendal

NO ERRORS!!! THIS GAME IS FULL OF ERRORS!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Posted on 02.08.08 17:28 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

Last thing im saying is this,

Too see the quality of this game and the team that created it, look no further than the pose of the week. Not only do they show an in game shot of a character you can't even use, they havn't updated it since about christmas.
Anybody fans of Everybody Loves Raymond?
This game reminds me of the episode were Robert goes into the modeling agency, pays them money to have his pictures taken. Then when he goes back its an empty office. They took their money and ran. That is what the pain team has done to us. They have scammed us.

Look at this,
"We’re quickly wrapping up testing of the international versions of PAIN and the new Fun With Explosives single player mode. Hung Lo is nearly ready to launch (pun intended) as soon as testing is complete."

Now this,
"The Single Player Mode Fun With Explosives is in test now. It is NOT out this week. The timing is more like 3-4 weeks from now. After it's tested it has to be distributed (Internationally). This is the same timing for Hung Lo.
New maps are months away"

Please tell me how can Hung Lo take as long to test as a new mode? LOL, COME ON!!

Now look at this,
"You say that we seem to be forgetting about the USA. If that were the case we wouldn’t be here updating the community site now would we?"

LOL, YOUR NOT!!!!

I love this part,
"After it's tested it has to be distributed (Internationally)"

Thats a reason for delay? WHAT!!!? THEY DONT EVEN HAVE TO PUT IT ON A CD. YOU CAN'T BLAME DELAY ON DISTRIBUTION WHEN YOU DONT EVEN PACKAGE YOUR PRODUCT!!! LOL!! LOL!!! LOL!!!

WE HAVE BEEN SCAMMED PEOPLE!! SCAMMED!!

Posted on 02.08.08 18:16 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

Ive been scammed out of 10 dollars before and got a whole lot less than pain is giving us. I guess im happily scammed. They could have took the 10 and then crashed the system and said ooops.

Posted on 02.08.08 19:10 PM by darth_dragonis

lol, very true

Posted on 02.09.08 03:56 AM by MutilatRJuggalo

they might just be "testing" the pose of the week pictures. Then they need to distribute the picture internationally...

when is SCEA gonna realize the joke these guys have pulled on us...

Posted on 02.09.08 04:00 AM by alphavs0mega

Wow, could you people whine more?

Tell me how you got scammed. You paid $10, you got a product. For the price of a movie, you get a small game with lots of playability. The developers don't owe you shit.

Obviously, you enjoyed the game enough to sit on these board and bitch and moan that new content isn't coming out fast enough, so how could you not justify the $10 your mom gave you to buy it in the first place.

Really, for $10 dollars, how can you be complaining? Do you really have nothing better to do? So what if they offered two characters to buy at launch. So what if how have to wait a little while for more characters, more games and more maps. So what if they don't reply instantly to your nagging. The world doesn't revolve around you. Good work takes time to complete.

And to those complaining that they are just trying to milk the game for more money. When you get a little older, you may realize that that is how our country works. Of course they are trying to make money. Christ, $10. And no one is forcing you to buy anything.

Building and testing a character is not as easy as one thinks. Gotta draw it, gotta animate it, gotta do the voices for it, gotta setup precise physics for it, gotta make sure its boundaries are set , then you gotta test it and test it and test it and test it. If they released a character that crashed the game or bounced off a wall before it touched it, you'd be complaining about that instead.

Travis and the team, you don't deserve this kind of childish abuse and whining. This game has kept me entertained endlessly over the last few months. These little kids just need something to latch onto and rant and make themselves feel important. Don't let it get to your head. Keep up the good work.

And to the rest of you whining little kids, go outside. Step away for a little while.

For the people that keep saying "Be Nice" "dont hate" "youre gonna make Travis cry, then he wont give us nuthin" Well what the hell else has they given us in the last 3 months other than empty promises. I dont think many of you people that say play nice realize why we are mad. We are mad because of the "Coming soons" the "teasings" and the leaving us haning. Its been what, now a Month since there has been any kind of update from anyone at Idol Minds. That tells me that they either have NO CLUE what is going on, or what they are doing. Or they have totally abandoned us and the Pain project. All of us are Pissed because we do love PAIN, and we want more from PAIN, and we were promised more from PAIN, and we were promised MORE SOON from PAIN, and none of that has turned out to be true. The last thing we were told was that Hung lo was coming out in a couple of weeks, that couple of weeks past like over a month ago. We are sick of the BS. All we really want is the truth. And some realistic expectations. We do realize how long testing takes and writing code and all of that, well to a point. But lets face it, no we dont, some of us have no clue, and well how far along in the process are they, or were they when they released the Demo that we paid $12 for. I mean if they were in the testing phase already for the next level when they released PAIN in the first place then it shouldnt be long, but if they hadnt even started writing code then its gonna be alot longer. And those of you that say it takes a long time to write a game also have to realize that they are writing one level at a time and one character at a time and releasing, not a complete game and testing and all like Uncharted or Heavenly Sword. So there is a big difference. So really we have no Idea what to expect or how long to expect it to take, because we have no idea how far into the process they really were/are. All we know is they told us, that they are working on this cool thing, or that cool thing, and that it was going to be "soon" and "3 to 4 weeks" and "a couple weeks" all of which have long since come and gone. That they now have totally abandoned us, and just decided to not give us any updates at all, like someone said, kinda like the scam artists that take your money and run. And for those that say play something else, and wait. Well thats what I have been doing for 3 months, but Im sick of waiting, I want all the content for Pain that they promised. I do like Pain, Im just sick of waiting for some new content to play especially when I was told that it was coming long before now.

Posted on 02.09.08 05:04 AM by 2speedy1

@Brandon
Im no kid. I'm 26 with a kid. Nice try though.
Secondly, you can say they gotta draw it and this and that...but if you look, they already did. That's why there are pictures of the next 2 characters.
If you had the intelligence to look before you speak you would notice my complaint regards a character already shown in the game. My complaints are because they say they are wrapping up with testing, then go and say no, we just started. That is the problem. The website isn't being updated and we are being ignored.
Pull your head out of your ass Brandon...it's a lot easier to see that way.

Hey Fanboy Brandon...

You have fun with your PAIN Demo. But i'm going to hold this developer accountable for the stuff they promised me. I can care less about paying for it. If you have been playing the same level with the same characters for 2 months on a game that promised EVOLUTION and Downloadable Content then thats your own feeble A.D.D. mind. See us "kids" (Im 25 and college educated by the way) without ADD want what we were promised. We want all the "great" stuff that we waited for. I made the choice to purchase this game with the idea in mind that it would continue to IMPROVE and get better. Guess what Brandon...

It hasn't.

I'm sick of Travis and his PAIN fanboys telling me that I don't understand how making a game works. Thats right... I don't. On the same token I don't think Travis and the fanboy nation realize what its like to be a hardcore gamefan that expects to receive what we are told that we will receive.

OHH....MY....FRIGGING....GOD....YOU....

YOU ARE KIDDING ME

YOU..
YOU....

ARE...

A-D-U-L-T-S???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

grow up. gain some wisdom.. figure out why you shouldn't be mad at a video game. Its just a game. and 10 dollars. I worked for like half an hour to get that. I am happy with my demo. I would have paid 10 for the gran turismo 5 demo they put out.

I had fun.
It wuz great.
The content will come.

but you ADULTS???? you don't deserve it.

Posted on 02.09.08 11:57 AM by tony

Just to clarify Mr. You You You You...

I'm not mad at a video game. I'm mad at the developers who have posted false information on this sight, a false description as to what this game encompasses, and for the lack of updating a board that they told us would be used for us to improve the game and make it better.

Waiting 2 months for a midget ninja skin is a little much... (no pun intended)...

And honestly... i don't care about how much you get paid... and what you spend your $$$ on.

I HAD fun to
It WUZ great
and the content...

You
You
You...

Thanks for the A D U L T perspective by the way...

small children in men's bodies don't make u an adult. One day you will grow up. But for now, enjoy the hate. I myself love to see the glass half full. Getting mad and angry over something so trivial is verrrrryyyyyy childish. I am not mad at u I accually pitty you....

terrorism makes me angry.
hate in general makes me angry.

ohhh boooo hoooo no new content mommy make them give me new content... the real world doesn't work that way. great things come with time.

you know how long I have waited for a new chrono trigger?! Those guys are too busy putting out ff 4000 before they get to that again if ever. travis and the team are trying to get u new stuff in a few month of waiting. they listen to the feedback from you guys and respond. maybe not every few dang seconds, but sqare has said nothing about ct3 in years accept "no comment"

that is all i have to say. this type of game is in its infantcy. You gotta learn to crawl before you learn to walk.

peace

Posted on 02.09.08 12:25 PM by tony

Yeah cuz tony... you know that this whole PAIN concept is aimed at 40+ adults right. Sayin that this game is intended for adults is like saying the new Jackass Season should be on A&E to huh...

A game about crotch shots and hitting cow mascots...

What was I thinking? I mean... this is an ADULT game. Me being such a child and all... jeeze. Your right tony...

and just a heads up...

Chrono Cross sucked...

Get over it

Posted on 02.09.08 12:44 PM by tony

Wow This board gets worse everyday , i only wish we could all meet in a cage so we could all prove how tough we really are. Yes we are all mad for our own reasons , BUT cutting each other is not going to prove , solve and or make things any better. I am not saying anyone should grow up or anyone is wrong or right , I am just saying aim your dis-satisfaction in the right direction.

I'm pissed off sole at the fact that Jason Coker said Hung Lo would be released in a COUPLE of weeks....that was over a month ago.

Posted on 02.09.08 22:08 PM by Ramy

I feel u guys allow this blog, just so our venting may help u sleep @ night! For 10 BUCKS, this game should've came with cut off studded leather ankle grabber gloves to go along with the biggest super Ooch to our pockets! Heres a poll 4 u guys, should Idol Minds change their name to Idol Thieves or Idiot Minds? U guys should be running political campaigns with all ur false promises and high taxes! If I wanted an incomplete game, I would of bought an incomplete system like the eXbox! GoSports gives u 2 games with a hd graphics, many levels, customizable players, and even online play for 8 bucks? U keep patting yourselves in the backs, while stabbing ours, each time u tell us how great ur expensive demo is and how much more u could make off it by taking our “free” great ideas and selling them back to us in the form off add on content! This could be a great game, if u would stop ignoring ...

Posted on 02.09.08 23:45 PM by MigZ

the 99% of customers who feel robbed, before u start planning ur next get rich quick schemes. Yes Im disappointed. I dont care how big of a carrot u wave infront of me, I refuse to be another donkey carrying dead weight!!! DONT PAY FOR ANYMORE ADD ONS until they actually finish this DEMO!!!! If we as gamers allow these minimum standards in developing, then keep expecting to buy incomplete games dollars at a time! Finish the game and u wouldnt have to be GREEDY! U Trojan horsed us and expect us to sit on our hands and wait for you to do it again. Thanks for the expensive tease!!!

Posted on 02.10.08 02:31 AM by FonkyMonkey

Just a simple question, hopefully someone can answer it: Why do so many people keep saying they bought a demo? I take it they knew what they were buying by the time they decided to buy PAIN, right?

Posted on 02.10.08 03:31 AM by Tim

demos like like burnout murder this game, imagine how much the Pain guys wouldve charged for that? It even had online! So quit defending the only DEMO we were tricked into buying, and admit they got u for your money too! I have larger cellphone games!

Posted on 02.10.08 04:23 AM by MigZ

Just for the record Im 31. With the lack of anything new on TV at least I can say this board is getting entertaining.
@ Tim. No, when we paid 10 bucks for this "Demo" we thought we would be getting a more complete game. With more than 1 level. More than 1 character. And more content to keep us interested for more than 1 day. None of us realized that we would be paying more for this than we pay for any other downloadable game on the PSN only for it to have the same or less content than most game Demos that we get for FREE. When they told us there was more content coming and that it was coming soon we took their word for it, meaning that it was ready or almost ready for release and that it would be out in a matter of a few weeks, not months. When they told us all the cool things they were supposedly working on, we believed that they meant they had them almost finished and were ready to release soon, especially when we saw in-game shots of them. When they told us that they were finishing up testing and to expect it in a couple of weeks we took that as meaning it was almost ready and it would be out in 2 weeks. NONE OF WHICE TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE. Who cares how long it takes from start to finish, from what we were told they werent just starting they were finishing.
I do not care if your 10 or 75 if you get a $10 a month allowance from your parents or you make $500,000 a year, how you spend your money and what you spend it on is your business, and if you feel as many of us do that you got cheated or duped into spending your hard earned money on a game demo, and felt that you have been given a bunch of empty promises or lied to then you have a right to be angry.
@ Brandon Think about this for a second.
Besides, for those of you Kids, I remember what it was like actually asking my parents for 10 bucks to buy a toy or game, it was like pulling teeth, you better hope it was worth it, and you didnt get it very often. So for those of you that had to go through that only to buy Pain and realize you should have bought something else I feel for ya.
I dont think any of us are saying we dont like Pain. Obviously if we didnt we would not be on here screaming for more content. What we are saying is that we are pissed at what we got for $10-12, what we have been told has turned out to be untrue, and how now we can not even get a straight answer as to what really is going on.

Posted on 02.10.08 04:38 AM by 2speedy1

Holy Christ are you people babies!!!

@ MigZ
You can't compare a demo of a major release like Burnout which is made by a giant company like EA to a small PSN game like PAIN made by a small company in Idol Minds. The Burnout Demo was just a chunk taken out of an already finished (or at least close to it) game and put out there for people to try so they can decide if they are going to pay $60 for. you paid $10 for PAIN. I'm sure even after all is said and done and we get all of the add on content that IM comes out with, you will not be paying $60.

Also many of you seem to be focusing on Jason's use of "in a COUPLE" of weeks. Now while technically the word couple means two of something, it's pretty much being used as a general term for more than one but less than a lot. Even at that, would you rather them stick to your definition of a "COUPLE" of weeks and give you a shitty product, or would you rather it take a little longer and work correctly!? sometimes problems arise that are unavoidable and need time to fix.

As for them not responding to anyone....I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to talk to a bunch of ingrateful little whiny bitches either......

Take your time Idol Minds, do it right and I'll be here waiting patiently while I play the GAME that I bought for $10 measly dollars. Since I bought it on release day I think I've gotten way more than my $10 worth considering I still enjoy playing it to this day....

holy sh!t i'm fncking back and all the breatholding that's going on. i'm 26, have now finally played 2player mode(awesome btw) and haven't been here in a month. lot of babies this time around and a 230+post(WoW). who fncking cares,this game(and others)aren't the end of the world as we know it. be patient good things will come,play call of booty4:modern whorefare.(or like me,UT3)and relax, before it's released in europe they will give us more stuff. i'm not defending anything but my opinion and look at the market of things to come, they need to be able handling the machines soon "advanced features",be it home or in game xmb, and it's own future installations. be fncking glad we are getting something and know it's being made. in one year i hope we really start seeing the user suggested levels. but we will. the engine is just warming up. all i ask for is to remember the originality of the game and they already have our money,they don't have to give us sh!t. can't we just hit a bong?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

Qraze...Welcome back, did you pick me up some milk and eggs while you were out?

I have an idea... Let's knock off the fighting for say...3 days...no fighting untill friday.

Until then, let's hear some new ideas. We've all been working our minds to insult each other, with a few good ones might I add, So let's give them more ideas for us to complain about not getting later, we already know what we're not getting now!

Try not to repeat, and you guys who have not put forth any Ideas yet, get something up here.

Then friday we can all go back to calling each other kids, cry-babies, and poor.

1st new Idea... Since the game is getting ready to go international, how about a new downtown level but in a city outside the US. Gimmie an Eiffel Tower to bounce off of, let me ring Big Ben ...with Jarvis's FACE!!! How about an Oooch down the Great Wall of China?
Oh..And Vote for NURSES!!! Cheerleaders are hot, but those white nurse stockings....VaVOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Posted on 02.10.08 08:01 AM by TonyB

@Qraze: Man we never talked n u seem cool man #1_in_the_hood_G thats great man i lmao everytime i see it.

Ive been here how long idk since the game came out n man o man have i had ideas but shit i dont think we should give them any
because their already having a hard time with 2 small baby food sized bites of things c,mon
Its like trying to potty train and feed a baby at the same time no way guys maybe we should just talk as if this was a chat room until we get a message.

And god dammit we need a new Post to Post in
and dont say we are making a new character cuz people will piss their pants.

Quoted fromsicdude

"I dont think any of us are saying we dont like Pain. Obviously if we didnt we would not be on here screaming for more content. What we are saying is that we are pissed at what we got for $10-12, what we have been told has turned out to be untrue, and how now we can not even get a straight answer as to what really is going on."

Ok this is a Hell of a point n thanks 4 putting it out there man ; )

None of us hate the GAME! We just hate the producers.

@TonyB
Yeah u know what ur talking about NURSES FTW (for the win)

Posted on 02.10.08 16:29 PM by TeH-SicKNess

I believe someone mentioned a Jungle level a while back. I just had an idea for the launcher. Instead of having a traditional slingshot or a cannon, why not have the character holding onto a vine. To get more power out of your launch/swing you would climb farther up a tree. To change your launch angle you'd have to jump to another tree or something. The only downside I can see is somewhat limited launch angles. Please criticize or commend my idea.

Posted on 02.10.08 19:58 PM by broda812

Maybe just another branch on a tree with a lot of vertical (up-down) branches. That would probably work better.

Posted on 02.10.08 20:00 PM by broda812

90 more votes and the nurses have it. I work at a hospital, and I say nurses win (younger female nurses, though it would be kinda funny if they made it an old man-nurse). PS the word man-nurse is actually in the PS3 predicta-dictionary. Weird.

Posted on 02.11.08 00:34 AM by Superdaddy73

yeah that cheerleader/nurse poll definitively up there for too long,i agree on that and how long its taking for characters we were polled about a while ago. in fact that was when my first community outcry occured and they jumped/pounded (idol minds) on that one to calm the storm. but almost every topic has been talked upon now just a different time and the same topics from a different view. oh friday is soooo close i don't know if i make it, just spilled my milk(waaa waa) and aten all the cookies.....................fnck no more cookies. yeah. also think big bird would be awesome to launch threw the air.or the count(one ooch two ooch three ooch ah ah ah). that took to much, i am now fatigued and....need........to..lay........down. #1_in_the_hood_G!!

Posted on 02.11.08 08:34 AM by tony

things im not angry about today:

1. the wonderful wheather I had today.
2. watching shoot em up on bray
3. living in the greatest country on earth
4. having the ability to buy content on line from the comfort of my couch
5. getting budget games at a budget price where I wasn't duped because I saw the fine print.
6.Having the common sense to not take anything in life at face value without being a little sceptical (in a couple of weeks..ok dudes i'll believe it when I see it)
7. fresh air
8. the world didn't end like they said it would in 2000..
9. my ability to know wrestling is fake..yeah vince..i believe undertaker came back from the grave...ooookkkaay... sureeeee...
10. i got a great game like PAIN to play that was cheap and fun.
11. cheerleaders....

Posted on 02.11.08 08:43 AM by tony

hey i got an idea....why don't you guys make a making of the game video like ratchet and clank did so these guys can see what took you so long (three whole entire months and counting..oooo..thats forever lol j/k)

in the video you guys could be chilling out in the board room, eating cheetos and drinking beer. You could be passed out on the couch with a computer in the backgroud with an incomplete wire diagram of HUNG LO on it lol.

you could have ur dialog experts in the soundbooth recording outtakes of the 3 ingenious lines you gave hung lo and SCURV DOG...the list goes on. I think it would be funny.

Posted on 02.11.08 09:29 AM by tony

@Tony Flame on! We all love the antagonizing. Werent you the one calling everyone childish? Some of us are Pissed, some of us arent. We all have our opinions, Deal with it. Im not going to change your opinion your not going to change mine. Stop starting crap with people for voicing their opinions. Thats why this is America we can voice our opinions when something Pisses us off.
@ TeH-SicKNess Dude that quote was from me not "sicdude" but thats cool.
Even though I dont have much faith anymore and Ive lost faith in Idol Minds, meaning if they do finally come out with some content, Im guessing we will see a very limited amount for this game now, and not much additions as far as new stuff.
But How about a Military Base?!?
With military characters, like a private and a drill sergeant.
The explosives could be bombs and other ordinance. Could have tanks and hummers and such, planes, you name it.
Someone might have already said this but also how about a Vegas style downtown, that way you could have buildings like the Luxor and Treasure Island and the Mirage and Such to go with the themes of some of the characters. IE Scurv Dog.
And larger launch zones that cover as far as you can launch so when you get towards the edge of the map you can keep control as far as you can launch at least.
Like I said Ive lost alot of faith in the way this game seems to be headed but, in keeping with trying to salvage some form of hope for this board and Pain, Ill go along with TonyB and Qraze and try to be positive for a while.

I have a new idea... A trampoline level. Kinda like the monkey game. You have to hit as many whatevers (monkeys,coins,stars, cans of Skoal chewing tabbaco, etc...) as you can, while bouncing around on tramps placed in certain spots around the board. Like lots of them so you can hit like 20 of them in 1 round as you bounce around. Bonuses for hitting consecutive "targets".

Posted on 02.11.08 14:12 PM by TonyB

This post is HILARIOUS.

I loved that making of video idea, tony... kudos.

Posted on 02.11.08 17:06 PM by Matt2793

@2speedy1
Military base is a great idea.

@TonyB
Trampoline also a great idea.

Both of those would bring hours upon hours of fun.

What about a Hot Shots style basketball game. Moving rim and all. That would be great. Easy enough 2 do 2 players too. Just do it pretty much like bowling.

Posted on 02.11.08 17:36 PM by MutilatRJuggalo

it is getting funny.and i can say i never put faith in idol minds,considering the fact that the psn trailer was only 30 long,i bought the game on a whim,the title "pain" was what really grabbed me. i didn't know there was gonna be more content. it was a gamble to buy it.and i would have been satisfied if this was only gonna be it,but the talk of updates and amusement parks and the whole community post are what really got me addicted to it. the game is perfect for the value.they gave us a mouth and its been shouting,but that's what happens and its a good thing no matter what the people are saying, we are saying it.i'm a little bummed out but i would never put faith into a video game(murphy's law)and especially with this current generation and all the hasty releases/flaws you should have or put faith into a belief or yourself not video game company,i hope we get content but i don't have faith in it. i only hope #1_in_the_hood_G!!

OK...Sorry to rehash, but in light of some of the funniest rounds of PAIN we've had lately, I need to again mention being able to save replays. The flying cop car the other day was histerical... Also, a running tally of the points during the replays would be HUGE!

Hey Qraze, you get season 5 of ATHF yet? Frickin fantastic!! Plus the DVD comes with stickers that you can bug people with...HA! People at work ask me why that french fry box has eyes....TOOLS!!!!!!

Replay saves would be nice. The other day I had a cool one where I hit a crashed cop car with a light pole and the gas tank detonated. It flew up about twenty feet before smashing The Dude's head into the asphalt. It was pretty good, but I'm the only one who saw it. After online, replays.

Posted on 02.12.08 08:24 AM by broda812

So how is Pain coming along? Can we get an update?

Thanks.

Posted on 02.12.08 11:29 AM by Alsace

I'm already getting a bad feeling that today will be an empty Thursday to add to the collection of other empty Thursdays. I hope I'm wrong though man, I really do. To the developers, you know, we only get mad and frustrated because of how entertaining this game is and all we want is more entertainment, and in the time spans you guys say you'll release them. So....*holds beer in the air*..... heres to hoping we get something today.

Posted on 02.12.08 12:32 PM by Ramy

I have a strong feeling that Idol Minds has actually forgotten about this game, and have moved on to bigger things, after seeing the ratings IGN and the overly biased gamespot gave them, and some people on the forums giving negative comments and actually deleting PAIN.

Posted on 02.12.08 16:52 PM by THEfireman

Hello fellaz,

Another Thursday here...what will happen?
Will Hung Lo be released, or will my heart continue to hang low and be stepped on for another week.
For the time being I have stopped playing PAIN. While it is clearly entertaining, it is also annoying. Why you ask? Aside from the lack of downloadable content I can't stand playing a game with a glitched high score list. Yeah, I guess I could go for my personal best, but...eh...why? I wanna beat other people, I'm competetive. Well, everyone except the guy with the high score in Spank The Monkey. (OVER 1000...That's just nuts.) My son isn't patient enough for me to get that one.
I like holding my #1 spot at Mime Toss, and I'd like to see a list of non-glitched high scores or Aftermath.
Again I gotta ask, does anyone know to get the Break glass with all throws trophy in mime toss? I've done it like 8 times but can not get the trophy.

Spiderwick. Riff something. Another download. But no pain. NO PAIN! I AM SO F***ING ANNOYED AT THESE DEVELOPERS!! HOW HARD IS IT TO RELEASE ONE HALF FINISHED GAME IN THE UK!!?? NO MORE WAITING FOR ME. DONT EXPECT ME TO BUY IT WHEN ITS EVENTUALLY RELEASED IN 2012!!!

PAIN will be released in Europe on 3/6/08, which means all this material they are talking about releasing (Ninja, Pirate, Amusement park) prolly wont be released until then. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Awww shucks paw.... They said Hung low in a couple weeks just a few days ago... So there was no way anything was coming today. We all know what a couple weeks is to them, so we'll see some content around mid march or april I'm guessing

For Jason Coker ,

I've followed your responses , in red , to users comments but I haven't seen anything regarding some of the graphics problems with the actual game . The "jagged" lines for shadows and the immersion of characters into the hard objects like buildings . Is this something your team is aware of and do you think this can be fixed with a future Patch or Upgrade ?

finally a date

cant wait till march 3rd!!!!!!!

Posted on 02.13.08 06:10 AM by Matt2793

Matt where did you get your date of March 3rd??????

Posted on 02.13.08 06:49 AM by Superdaddy73

Wow last time I checked this game was $9.99. Putting together whole new levels cannot be easy... lets see we have buildings, moving objects (cars, trains, other people, bombs, trucks, swinging cranes) not to mention the environment and the creativity it takes to create an environment like this one. While I did hope to see other levels sooner we probably can all chill out and be happy with the minimal amount of money we spent for a creative fun little game that we have so far. So what I'm trying to say is QUIT WHINING and we'll have some new levels and fresh characters when they're ready.

You know what, I'm gonna apologize for the anger I've displayed, sorry about that. Guys, take your time to make this as perfect as you can.

Posted on 02.13.08 21:01 PM by Ramy

Yeah, I got really angry too. Im still going to buy pain, as long as its out on that date. I had a feeling that they were releasing hung-lo and that small pirate guy at the UK release date, but not the amusement park too. Good job.

I think Idol Minds may have just learned a very important business lesson: Manage Expectations.

@superdaddy- there was a post from funky monkey that said:

C-YA in a few weeks!!!! TonyB....OUT!!!!!

Posted on 02.14.08 10:56 AM by TonyB

matt, that's what you said, 6th of march

Posted on 02.14.08 12:23 PM by Pee_Wee

Well I still will not believe March 6th till I see it , But you know what upsets me the most is the fact that no one has come on this board to tell us anythng at all. Most of the info we have recieved has come from us, not from the devo's. Whats up with that Idol Minds , You don't think it is important to comunicate with us anymore??????

Posted on 02.14.08 12:33 PM by Superdaddy73

Just a quick question to anyone who posted in complaint about the "couple weeks" statement. Any of you from metro area NY? Or seen the movie "Money Pit"? "couple weeks" or "two weeks" is such a classic union job line that anyone who has ever heard it knows that it means "when we get around to it", or better yet, "expect it when you see it".

That said, I don't expect much. I've certainly blown ten bucks on worse things, and frankly, I bought this game so long ago (few months) that I don't really care. Buy any game for your cell phone and suddenly PAIN looks a lot nicer. Is it a shame I'm indifferent about the perpetually pending updates? Maybe, but I can't muster the energy. The sheen has worn off, the thud of the head off a beam not as chuckle-worthy, the mime still averse to giving me the ungettable trophies, the reality that I look around and realize that the sandbox we are stuck in is pretty small and perhaps it's time to stand up, dust off, park the old Tonka trucks, and go play elsewhere lest we be constantly reminded how small our tiny sandbox is. Someday, unless we were hasty and put it out by the curb on trashday, we will return to that sandbox and - LO! - find new toys in it, and the joy will be fresh as we reacquaint ourselves with the fun we remembered.

Ah, no poet am I. So, moving on, two more pennies goes for Remote Play on PSP. PAINstationPortable!

Ok, These guys, the designers, must be from Chicago. I am seeing way too many references to Chicago spots: Essex, Man hole...

Posted on 02.14.08 18:15 PM by Alsace

Well that explains everything then. Chicagoians. The worst scum of the world.

Posted on 02.14.08 23:18 PM by whitegold58

to everyone here I say this. It's not wise to believe in anything blindly. If you don't get ur heart set on the date, you won't be disappointed. Oh, and you guys remind me of a needy girlfriend just FYI: LOL

Hey they make a good point, Idol Minds. How about a blog update, I think it is about time. Just my CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, thats all. Smile

Posted on 02.15.08 10:04 AM by tony

SOMEBODY FROM IDOL MINDS TALK TO US......Or give us a new board atleast.

Posted on 02.15.08 16:11 PM by Superdaddy73
