We hope you have gotten your hands on Smooth Jarvis by now and familiarized yourself with his new poses and style.  You may have read about it on the PlayStation Blog already, but here’s your chance to show everyone just how smooth your launch skills with Smooth Jarvis are…behold the AXE “Do the Move” PAIN Contest! 

Starting today through September 30th, we’re asking you to use the in-game video capture feature to share your Smooth Jarvis launches of the Double Pits to Chesty move.  Don your editing hat and post your video to your YouTube account, tagging it with “PAIN AXE Jarvis” for entry.  There are more rules to follow for this contest, but I know you just want to hear about the prizes don’t you?  Well, there’s definitely one new 42” Bravia LCD HDTV for the Grand Prize Winner.  To find out about the rest of the prizes and the complete rules so you don’t disqualify yourself, go here.

Remember, you only have until September 30th to enter.  Did we mention that the first 250 contestants to earn the AXE trophy in game will also win a PAIN t-shirt?  Get some!

@lorine: to answer you last post: yes Tong

@Slamin: I just wanna hear the man say NOT GONNA HAPPEN and then it settled for me. Also, I like the abuse Tong

@Travis: Awww, I totally understand that AXE are making a US competish but I really really want some PAIN goodness, any update on merchandise such as a platinum keychain like we talked about AGES ago?

Posted on 08.28.09 04:51 AM by KnizzleHizzle

I would buy a T shirt if available

Posted on 08.28.09 05:05 AM by Slaminthelamb

How in the world will you know who the first 250 contestants to earn the AXE trophy are? It's an in-game trophy... is there a timestamp on that trophy in the game that's being submitted in the background? I got the trophy over two weeks ago.

Posted on 08.28.09 05:18 AM by Vyrastas

@Vyrastas: I'm pretty sure it can be tracked for each PSN user when he each trophies.

@Slamin: That's the spirit!

@Lorine

Since the rules state that you have to use the replay edtitor, which doesn't support music, my assumption would be no.

Posted on 08.28.09 06:03 AM by Ron_Is_GOD_420

I would buy a Pain t-shirt with a character on it plus logo and a cool catch phrase.

Like Brock Lee doin' a flying kick

with a phrase at the bottom

"I don't got the suga' shoes... I got the vegetable feet! Hi-yah!"

Posted on 08.28.09 06:03 AM by lorine

@KnizzleHizzle
For *in-game* trophies, though? I can't even tell you exactly when I earned in-game trophies, there's no record I can see in PAIN, unless they can retrieve it from my save file or something.

Posted on 08.28.09 06:32 AM by Vyrastas

Brought forward....
=================================
@travis,

a few points (hopefully I can manage to make this coherent.)

1. The whole 250 T-Shirt Trophy thing mentioned on the blog at blog.us.playstation.com/.../ they mention that the first NNN players to get that trophy get a shirt. Is that post contest start/pre contest start/etc. This is not overly important to me, but I'm curious because I'd love a shirt, which leads us to...

2. I love FWE... There's just something about this mode that feels 'pure' and 'good' to me. When I'm playing FWE, all the troubles of the world just melt away like I'm a leaf meandering in a river. I was hoping to get a polo embroidered with a crate, but I don't want to do it without some sort of official sanctioning(which I don't believe you would be able to post here without consulting suits) and artwork. Any chance you guys can make some 'official pain artwork' for those of us interested in using it for personal use? Obviously, it'd end up on cafepress eventually, but is' just a win for you as it might draw more people into it. Anyways, just a thought.

3. (no connection to above) Will having to pay for the theme contribute to the ability of you guys to add trophies to pain? I'm gonna buy it no matter what, as I'm a good little sheeple... BAAAAAAA... *faint*.... crap, I must be a goat...

4. (also, no connection) I've played a few players over the months online that were mutantlike in skill, but had no trophies, etc. I suspect they're either ACTUAL mutants using pseudonyms, or part of the team using aliases. I'm not asking for names, but have you heard of anyone I may have played, and/or do you have staffers that do this on occasion? I tried to question one of them the other night, and only got a 'not bad' and 'later' as responses. This is just a curiosity thing... I plan on keeping such occurrences under wraps to allow these players the option of doing things under their own free will.

Hey, gang! I'm just writing today to let you know that I think you guys are doing a great job, and I continue to enjoy the add-ons you build onto this masterpiece.

I come to you with ideas and kind suggestions toward possible improvement/enhancement of the game. I think some of these are great notations, and I hope you'll consider them seriously:

1) Recommended DLC characters: Lawyer, nerd, sports player, magician, dominatrix or a military soldier.
2) How about free alternate outfits for all the other characters?
3) A universal Stats screen that can be accessed from the Pain Main Menu. This screen would track stats such as: Number of launches, character usage percentage, favorite character, favorite environment, miles traveled, games played (each mode, each difficulty)...and maybe real-time counters on accumulation-related trophies.
4) How about the possibility of posing in-flight between collisions? To add another Stylin' combo or two?

I have noticed some bugs, also, and I'm curious as to whether other gamers have noticed them. Could these be fixed?

1) In Knockin' Blocks, when you land in the water, the sound effect is incorrect. A metal crash or glass breaking is heard, rather than a hard splash. (I haven't check whether this also goes for Fortress.)
2) Sometimes when I Super Ooch as the character's lost all momentum, the Super Ooch does not register. The character just stays there. Isn't the Super Ooch supposed to "revive" the character?
3) During gameplay, the character vocals sometimes overdub themselves. Sometimes he/she will say two things at once. There was a time when a character's line kept looping indefinitely until I restarted the game from the Sony menu.
4) Lastly, I feel that the difficulty related to acquiring some Sony trophies is a bit steep. I believe some Bronzes should be Silvers and some Silvers should be Golds. I know some gamers learn faster than others. But I feel that the skill measurement should be tweaked just a bit toward those of us whose skills are "below average".

Posted on 08.28.09 07:10 AM by David

(cont'd)

I hope these all make sense, and if anyone agrees with what I've suggested, please let me know! Other than that, the Pain experience continues to last me hours and hours. Thanks again for such a tremendous game!

@Rick

I will try hooking up with you, I've been some what of a social butterfly since I dumped my girlfriend and kicked her out of the house. There was a lot I have been missing. Anyway, betweem TonyB and myself we probably have literally racked up over 300 discos. I had a total of 15 yesterday and the one guy who had a 100 host rating, launch into the wrong target twice to end the game and least he died with dignity and didn't disco, I think he gave up when I put up 5.3 mil and died with a minute on the clock.

Posted on 08.28.09 11:07 AM by lucas

why is the AXE contest not for every one I bought all dlc I play likr crazy and have gotten many a friend to buy pain as well.

And here I am barred from the contest I am really starting to hate sony and there constantly putting canada on the back burner I have spent hundreds on sony and this s+!t keeps happening were always excluded.

I use AXE and buy only sony brand electronics and promote pain to every one I meet tell me why I am excluded please all products are available here in canada so I do not understand why we can't participate.

again please give a decent explanation

Posted on 08.28.09 11:43 AM by Matt

I have one question about the official rules.

It says that the first 250 will get a t-shirt. My question is, will we still be eligible for the t-shirt if we delete the first video that we uploaded and upload a new one in its place.

Because as soon as I read the post on the Playstation blog about the contest I rushed to my PS3 and quickly got the required trophy and uploaded a quickly made not-so-great replay to youtube so I could be in the first 250.

Would I be able to delete my first not-so-great replay and upload a much better one and still be able to get the t-shirt?(accepting that my first uploaded video was within the first 250)

I know its kind of confusing, I really hope you can answer me this as I REALLY want a PAIN t-shirt.

Thanks

Posted on 08.28.09 13:26 PM by Joey

@Travis - I'm no trophy whore so I haven't even looked at the AXE trophy requirements, but how are they to determine the first 250 entrants? If it's supposed to be done with the editor then what about the clowns who rushed to get that trophy without making a vid? Are they hosed or can they just redo it without the notification that says you've achieved it?
Dammit man we need SPECIFICS!

Posted on 08.28.09 13:52 PM by obscured

PS... Sorry to double-post but I do feel kinda bad for my European/Canadian/all other PAINsters abroad. I've met some very cool players from outside the USA and to me PAIN transcends all physical borders.
We're all just one big PAIN lovin' community.

It's easy for me to say this but try not to let this kill it for you guys ok. I can totally understand your beef though. I would not like to feel left out on something that I've dvoted sooo much time to.

Hang in there guys - it's still the same great game.

Peace

Posted on 08.28.09 14:03 PM by obscured

@travis
like vyrastas said... how the hell you guys gonna know who got the trophy first? i got it the day smooth jarvis came out.

@david
no. 3 is a really cool idea... i'd like to have something like that and it would be cool to have it so others can see it online like a profile leaderboard... and i'm really diggin the dominatrx idea.

Posted on 08.28.09 16:40 PM by joseph

I didn't even know about the AXE trophy until this post! I wonder if I'm still one the first 250?

Posted on 08.29.09 02:03 AM by Al3xX_420

@Obsy: It sucks because I would love to have a T-shirt or whatever merchandise they could throw our way but at the same time I understand that this is some AXE sponsored deal and as such it's limited to the audience they want to invest money in right now. Kinda like how he isn't all AXE'd up here en Europe even though AXE is sold every freaking where. But hey, thems the facts, so it's okay. It kinda sucks that Sony is such a big machine now that Travis can't even make merchandise happen without having rescue a princess from a dragon and whatnot. I would kill for a Plat trophy keychain or something like that. Something that says PAIN to other PAINsters but regular mortals wouldn't know what was. That's why I hate most gaming merchandise, it's like a freaking neon sign saying "I'm a nerd" instead of looking like contemporary fashion but with a cool logo or something.

@David: You need to go to the regular Playstation site and log in and change your nick, it did this to me once too, it just took my first name because it didn't have my nickname all of a sudden.

@Travis: I thought about it and I still don't like the sparkles, do you have an ETA on the pain theme coming? Will it be worldwide like PAIN is or when-the-eff-ever like everything else?

@The US'ers: Hope you all get a T-Shirt, post pics if you do!

@Juggz: Any news on you album, more music coming?

@KnizzleHizzle,

feel like giving an in-depth explanation of how to change your name that shows up? I've just spent an eternity trying and could not find the setting anywhere... I'm kinda sick of being 'patrick'

Posted on 08.29.09 07:16 AM by Patrick

@Patrick: It seems that option is gone now but my guess is that the error is the same as back when I did it, it was right after the merged PSN with PS Underground.

Posted on 08.29.09 07:42 AM by KnizzleHizzle

@Knizzle Hizzle:

Ah...those are the names of the characters! Smile

Posted on 08.29.09 08:13 AM by Matt

Anyway, I came up with a play station home idea for PAIN.

The home site can consist of the in-game environments!

In downtown, you can eat at the manhole, ride the subway, and watch Jarvis get launched! (In AI code)

In the abusement park, you can ride the rides, get some food, win soveniers, and even dance with the beaver mascot! Watch Kenneth get launched! (AI again)

In the movie lot, you can watch movies get filmed, create a movie of your own and save to ps3 or youtube, meet the Hoff himself, and watch Buzz get launched!(AI once again lol)

In the museum, you can see the various exhibits, a game video in the space exhibit, ride the escalators, and watch Andy Dick or George Takei get launched!(AI)

Posted on 08.29.09 08:22 AM by Matt

I live in a house right on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland, yes I'm not in the US of A but you know what?

I have every PAIN DLC...
I preach the PAIN gospel...
I have many converts....
I play PAIN every night..

And I can't enter the competition.....

Pretty bummed I tell you...

Just turned in a track tuesday actually. It's for a comp cd due out by years end. The tracks called "sky high" & I gotta say it's pretty dope. It's got a nice PAIN shoutout in it too. Other than that just finishin up our ep. How's life with you bro?

Posted on 08.29.09 10:35 AM by MutilatRJuggalo

@Slaminthelamb

Abriachan eh? That is just on my backgarden my man! Hell of a road to get up to Abriachan eh?

Only place you see Nessie is on the internet a la Google Earth! Smile

The roads here are awesome, I'm a biker and we love going round the top parts of Scotland on our bikes!

Best place to live if I'm honest!!!

APART from getting involved in PAIN competitions where you can win a t-shirt!

I really, REALLY want one....

ok thats 3 really epic smooth jarvis replays i lost due to some glitch that cuts your replays short for some reason... i guess this contest is going to be about who gets lucky enough to make the best replay that don't get cut short by this glitch... please look into this.

Posted on 08.29.09 12:12 PM by joseph

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Posted on 08.29.09 13:52 PM by DO2K03

@joseph
that has been a problem since the replay editor was added. if you don't want to lose your replays you have to save them. they recently changed it so that the replay cuts off instead of freezing so you are less likely to save it after it gets screwed up.

Posted on 08.29.09 13:58 PM by Al3xX_420

@al3xx
ohhh so thats whats up... i know it used to freeze and now it just cuts off eh? ok i'll try saving them first... thanx for the info dood.

Posted on 08.29.09 14:52 PM by joseph

@ homerjnick

I must have spent hours on the beach at the north end just by the shop, getting excited over the faintest of ripples thinkin that I would see Nessie. It never appeared (surprise surprise). The house we were in was at the top of a valley sorry glen and one night we all sat at the top shouting our heads off and playing with the echoes. Then a police car came along the bottom road stopped and turned on the spotlight, we all laid flat not moving until they drove off, That was nearly 20 years ago now, bloody hell where does the time go?

@ Travis

Where's my T-Shirt?

Posted on 08.29.09 16:44 PM by Adrian

Big hand for Norman everyone! Thanks man! are those fixes to be released in a stand alone patch or do we wait for the next big content release to get them?

@joeseph - Crackin me up dude. Sounds like you are taking this contest very seriously. I always appreciate your props but for this contest I'm not holding my breath to think I'd win it. One thing about my vids is that they all benefit from post editing on my pc with the addition of music. For example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuMSqv47MAQ

However...
I won't be able to do that for this contest so I'm just going to have fun with it and try to create something cool/funny/interesting and throw it out there.
I'm still a bit confused as to what they are looking for. Do they just want the launch move? Do they want an entire 4 minute replay? They'll judge on humor and points?

Anyways, just have some fun with it joe. It runs the entire month so you'll have a chance to check out what people are submitting and you may get ideas from that too. Here... I have something you've seen already, it might cheer you up.

Last night I had a dream that a Ninja Turtle was a launchable character. And ya know what? It worked.

That was actually a pretty normal dream compared to what I usually have. Before that dream, I dreamt that a fat guy wearing a see through body suit filled with shredded cheese, was dancing to "Man in the Mirror" in front of a grocery store.

I'm not even kidding.

Posted on 08.29.09 22:19 PM by DO2K03

I'm finally back to 100%! It was kind of difficult getting gold on STM PAiNful since before today I only played enough STM to unlock PAiNful. After getting Monkey on Monkey I immediately proceeded to Knight at the Museum and FWE to finish off Zoom Raider.

The new characters are great! To be honest Granny grosses me out almost as much as Andy Dick in drag. But Ivan is great! I expected him to have the same accent as the STM chimp. I don't know why though since I knew he was Russian. And I love Le Toot! He may be my new favorite launchable.

Now that we have the mime and granny down WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LAUCH SPUNKY!? The community demands it! I think it was Coke who said that Idol Minds would try to get KRATOS into PAiN if the community demanded it. But Kratos would not work in a humorous game like PAiN. We have been demanding the original PAiN character Spunky for months now and you guys are not budging! What, did the guy who did the voice of Spunky die or something? Did he die on the operating table getting another liver transplant? Thats the only reason I can see to avoid making him launchable.

you fully have my support for spunky... you seen my replays... maby he's getting some new clown shoes fitted so they don't bother him so bad... anyway spunky is the funniest character in anything ever and we must have him in the launcher!
@obscured
thanx dood!
@logan
please keep quiet on this matter.

@Travis: Why has "Admin" posted this post so that you're not in red?

Posted on 08.30.09 00:08 AM by KnizzleHizzle

Yes! To Spunky in the launcher!

Posted on 08.30.09 01:22 AM by qb2bTheReaper

I agree. Spunky is a no brainer. But it's been addressed and dismissed.

@travis

so seeing how the pain dynamic theme cost money, i'm gonna guess that all dynamic themes cost money.

anywho, i think the three pack is a sweet deal. so thanks and i wish u guys put the construction worker in the mix too. lol.

(Kidding)

@travis

can u describe the dynamic theme please? i might go for it.

@knizzle

thanks that's cool.

@travis

i'm scared ever since i tried granny out. she took one of tati's moves and turned it into disaster! lol. she's so funny.

i love Le Toot. he's so cool! probably my favorite now! he reminds me of mr. bean in one of his moves.

i really thought ivan would be lame but he's pretty cool too. i like his inviso vine swinging move.

Posted on 08.30.09 13:20 PM by lorine

@Lorine: Yeah the theme looks awesome, I haven't checked my ps3 yet but I don't think it's out in Europe yet? Ah well, either I'll wait or I'll buy it on my US account... just like Duke Nukem Fore-eerr, I mean, Bomberman.

The best thing about my US account is that danish isn't in the profanity filter so my screenname is stupid, childish and funny Tong

Be sure to create a japan account to download the free Afrika theme, as far as I can read online Smile

Posted on 08.30.09 13:51 PM by KnizzleHizzle

@knizzle

Duke Nukem ehh? ;-)

Afrika has a dynamic theme and it's free? i read on the ps blog that there is a free dynamic theme for a certain region. is it Afrika?

Posted on 08.30.09 13:55 PM by lorine

Nono, it's japan, and the theme is called Afrika, it's with Zebras Smile At least, that's what I've read online, I won't be home to check for about three to four hours.

Posted on 08.30.09 13:58 PM by KnizzleHizzle

@knizzle

yeah i know the game's called afrika. lol. and is the theme free?
wow i spelt africa wrong. lol.

Posted on 08.30.09 14:20 PM by lorine

I expected more out of the theme than just Jarvis sleeping.

Posted on 08.30.09 14:23 PM by Vyrastas

@Vyrastas: What did you expect, you throw him around downtown for two hours, he needs some hard earned rest man! Tong

I like it, I'm not sure I would use it but it needs to be mine Tong The HVB and LBP ones are the ones I can see myself using.

Posted on 08.30.09 14:29 PM by KnizzleHizzle

I earned the AXE trophy the first day it was available. The following day, I earned it again as it had mysteriously disappeared from my trophy collection. I haven't played Pain in over a week though as Arkham Asylum has consumed my time for gaming, so I don't know if it was reset again for me to have the opportunity to earn a Pain t-shirt. I want a shirt, dammit.

Travis and Co.

I have to say, Granny is one of the sickest, most twisted things you have done so far in PAIN, and I applaud you for it. She has quickly become my favorite character - something about that left butt cheek hanging out makes me laugh every time.

Keep up the great work!

Posted on 08.30.09 16:22 PM by TheBrainMachine

Ok...Fannie the grannie's boob shake:

HILARIOUS!!!!

I couldn't stop laughing at the pose!

@Travis
Have to agree with the tweet from PS3Nation http://twitter.com/#search?q=dynamic%20theme

In my opinon dynamic should mean more than a repeating screen saver.

Posted on 08.30.09 17:59 PM by THitter

@NUFCRULE

Darn it you beat me to spotting it first. I saw it a few hours ago on my ps3, then i was about to post a comment when i realized that i wasn't logged in. i finally logged in and found that you had spotted it too.

Posted on 08.30.09 19:15 PM by lorine

Why does Le Toot have a umm... a hitl... errr.. WWII dictator mustache?

Posted on 08.30.09 19:17 PM by lorine

@Matt: You know when I saw the design for Fanny I was like OH SWEET JESUS WHY IS THE BUTT CHEEK OUT? But as started to stare at it well… it became oddly hypnotic. I personally like the fact that she shows Tati how to “drop it like it’s hot”. Lorine don’t lie you love it.

@THitter: Dynamic means a lot of things. But you haven’t told me what you think it means. You just told me what you believe it should NOT mean.

@Vyrastas: We will be making at least one more Dynamic theme for PAIN. Any ideas? I’m open. We didn’t have a lot of time on the first one. Just so you know the Dynamic PAIN theme has time of day (the lighting changes downtown in the window pane). The monkey clock keeps accurate time and every hour Aliens do a flyby.


@Everyone: Yes that’s Takei in the screenshots. I just like hearing him say HOT WET OOCHES and OH MY!

Posted on 08.30.09 19:55 PM by travis williams

Fannie is Tati's Granny!

God, why do I come with these???

Anyway, George Takei looks good. As usual.Smile

Posted on 08.30.09 20:02 PM by Matt

@Travis
Take a look at the LBP dynamic theme and note how it manages to change over time. It's unfortunate that Sony chose dynamic to describe the themes. For me, an animated background or a video that loops is a bit of a disapointment at $3.00. Do a google on Screen Antics Johnny Castaway screensaver by Serria online. That was what I was hoping for in a dynamic theme.
I'm hoping this was just your first shot and you didn't have a lot of time.
I guess I was just expecting more from the twisted folks at IdolMinds.

Posted on 08.30.09 20:31 PM by THitter

I didn't bother getting this, but:

What is the dynamic PAIN theme like?

Posted on 08.30.09 20:34 PM by Matt

Oop! Nevermind. And NICE AXE MENU THEME!

@travis

here's a theme:
Brock lee kickin' pain characters in the air!

Imagine Brock Lee from the side.

His fro flowing in the wind.

Then random characters fly towards him.

He then does a kick then uppercut, then repeats.

Maybe throw in some brock lee phrases and other character screams.

Yadiig?

Probably too complex though.
So awkward with u not in red.



Posted on 08.30.09 21:37 PM by lorine

@Idol Minds, glad to see that you made the clock work, but Jarvis could have sat up with his eyes open during the day. Who are the new characterss in the theme?

Posted on 08.30.09 21:41 PM by srart

@Lorine: The red text is for the blog author. I know it’s hard to believe but I really am working on a new site.

@Everyone: Idol Minds did not do the Theme.

Posted on 08.30.09 21:46 PM by travis williams

@travis

so granny taught tati?!!

as a reply i'm not sure if i lovin it, but man when i watched her moves i was like. *snicker* when she did tati's move *heh heh... okaay... eeeww... she's hilarious!*

my current fave is Le Toot, but for a source of laugh granny's my ma...err... launchette.

i thank u idol minds for always finding a way to makes us laugh.

hey u guys notice her tattoo? looks like a girled up jack sparrow. lol.

can't wait for george! his voice really makes things awkward. lol.

Nigel the punk kicking the shit out of the Grannie saying things like ...give me your pension and no you can't have a T- shirt and of course everybody's favourite see you next Tuesday!

lol

@slammin

sounds harsh. lol.

Posted on 08.30.09 23:35 PM by lorine

@Travis Williams
That's understandable if you guys didn't have much time to work on one. Ideas for a different dynamic theme... how about your TV screen is one of the panes of glass in Downtown and you're facing the launcher from the environment's perspective. You see someone get into the launcher, helped by the other characters, then occasionally launched offscreen while the other characters cheer and wince at something you can't see... then eventually the launcher adjusts and launches right at you and your screen cracks like it's glass and falls apart. Other characters walk pass your screen on occasion... the mime, Ed, Fannie... and the glass is swept away by the custodian from Abusement Park (is that Ned? I forget), and then they start launching again and it repeats. Night would be the same but maybe with different characters and aliens going by in the night sky. One could even come in close and use a beam to suck up one of the normal launchable characters. Smile

Posted on 08.31.09 01:57 AM by Vyrastas

I actually really like Vyrastas idea for the dynamic theme. I also wasn't crazy about the first one. I've switched back to the littlebigplanet theme even though I don't like that game even close to as much as PAIN.

it stuck!!! finally moving onto AP!

(sorry for the triple post... excited)

Posted on 08.31.09 04:02 AM by Patrick

So I bought and caught myself up with PAIN (ha ha I ryhmed :p) and I quite frankly love Le Toot. Especially the Goldfish movement, and his long and lanky arms make for excellent runs. I have finally decided to come out of my PAIN shadow...does anyone want to play a game of darts?

BTW Travis,

There was a new costume for Ginger in the new Dynamic Theme (I think of Batman when saying that :p) and she had a biker chick costume on. Or is this a new character? Will this be released with the new Cowgirl?

Posted on 08.31.09 04:08 AM by Logan

So, I uploaded a video doing "double pits to chesty," but it was after I had already gotten the in-game AXE can trophy. So, I think that a lot of us are a little fuzzy on the T-shirt deal. If you could clarify, that would absolutely marvelous. Thank you.

Posted on 08.31.09 04:14 AM by Joface

Anyone know if you can play horse and trauma in environments besides downtown and amusement park in order to get the pain and mane xmb trophy? Just asking because at the time the trophies came out museum, sore spots, and movie studio didn't exist. I'd like to use the other environments as well to get the trophy for variety, but will focus on just the 2 for a while if not.

Posted on 08.31.09 05:00 AM by Travis

So uh... How do we know if we win? Will AXE send us a Youtube message or something?

Posted on 08.31.09 05:38 AM by Conrad

the monkey is ok
the granny is not that great

Posted on 08.31.09 09:29 AM by peter

@Travis - I have an idea for a Dynamic Theme... Instead of a close-up like the 1st one, do a panorama of the Amusment Park with the rides going and people running around... and maybe show it from the side, so you can see Jarvis (or Smooth Jarvis for more AXE Bucks!) getting launched on the hour!

Posted on 08.31.09 09:33 AM by TonyB

@travis williams

so am i disqualified for getting the axe trophy right when smooth jarvis came out? it was one of the first things i did. i did a few others, but it was like the 3 or 4th trophy i got. Frown

i'm just glad to have fun tho, a PAIN t-shirt does seem cool.

my kids do like the monkey very much. they laugh at his "BOOTY" "as my kids say" i only bought him this week. i'll get the others as well. this game is fun. it has everything for everyone.

Posted on 09.01.09 05:02 AM by Al3xX_420

@alex,vyrastas,homer,

Thanks. I admit, I truly suck at tossing games... I managed to learn the tosses to get platinum in MT, and then spent like 3 hours straight to get it. I actually had a harder time getting the all tosses break glass trophy than plat club. Amazingly, it's a great weight off my shoulders to know I could get King of Pain. I'm only the CT stuff away from all the AP trophies... just gotta get Plat. Club in CT.

Posted on 09.01.09 09:37 AM by Patrick

I'm having a lot of fun with all the new stuff that's coming out. But I can't stress this enough, give us more unlockables. I love that stuff guys! Ed and Buzz are the only unlockable characters we've gotten and we need more! Even if it's just costumes it would be fun. I could go for a few more Jarvis costumes. I completely enjoyed unlocking all of Hoff and Mr. Dicks costumes.Holla back Travis!

@norman, travis:

The fixes that you have done for Hot n Cold tmer, Air Attack in FWE Abusement Park and Limp Wrist in Downtown are these to be released via the little "updates" part of PAIN or are they part of the next BIG download?

Also, as in the case of Limp Wrist, after the patch, do we have to do ANOTHER 1000 monkey spanks post patch?

I don't know where the smoov this came from, but...

Brucie Kibbutz from GTA4!

To whom it may concern

I have not played pain for a bit now I just can't get in to it anymore.
ever since I found out that I was not eligible for the contest because I am canadian.
How can I support a game that excludes me from a contest because of my location.
How can you even call this a contest with half the pain community not eligible? The person who wins might only do so because the person who is truly deserving was not eligible.
I am sure it boils down to some legal bs or the cost blah blah blah,
But in that case there should have been a contest created and designed so that all ardent players could be eligible not just a select few.
However now that the rules have been set for the current U.S only contest. I feel that an equivalent contest/promotion should be offered to those regions that were excluded.

I have a question. I should have got the King of Pain trophy. Frequent Flyer was my last in game to get for DT. i got it..but nothing popped up after. I see George Takei's in game trophies could be done in DT. Is that why i haven't got it yet? do i need to get those 2 unlockables yet when George comes out???

Posted on 09.03.09 06:10 AM by Kris

Travis and Co.

Thank you for the ever expanding content that you have been releasing for PAIN - the new characters and Museum are incredible.

I have to agree with Hastur, though, the BR game has been out for over a month now, and even though I don't own the disc, I think I would be mighty upset that this fabled patch has yet to show itself. The patch has been promised since the BR disc was released, but there is nary a word about it lately here in the forum. These people paid good Euros and have yet to be able to experience the awesomeness that is Online PAIN!

I also wanted to express my dissapointment in the PAIN super theme. I realize that it was pushed out quickly, but it is the only PAIN item that I have purchased that I feel was a waste of my money. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too worried about $4, but that money would have gone to Takei, and something else, and I would have been much happier with my purchase. To date, I have purchased every bit of DL content for PAIN, and feel that it has been money well spent, as I rarely even play other games. I'm addicted to your PAIN - hence the reason I spent the money on the theme - you had yet to let me down - but that theme is kind of weak-sauce.

I can't wait to see what you all have up your sleeves for the next couple months. Can you at least let us know if we have any special goodies to look forward to for Halloween?

Posted on 09.03.09 06:18 AM by TheBrainMachine

BD users can't play online anymore, and can't play addons : museum, Knockin' Bloks, Andy Dick and the new three characters...

@Kris

did you do the "trill" and "grenade a maid" trophy?

Posted on 09.03.09 09:15 AM by lorine

yeah i did those. i have everything..i don't get it. Do you have to do the Platinum mime toss, STM, and FWE even though u don't get trophies for em??

Posted on 09.03.09 10:45 AM by Kris

@kris
you need to get into the plat club for mime toss , stm and fwe , as they give an in-game trophy , which is in downtown so you need those
and you dont need the george takei in-game trophies , there unlockable's , not downtown trophies
hope dat helps

Posted on 09.03.09 10:59 AM by NUFCRULE-Liam

yeah i unlocked the plat club for all of em..i have plat in normal, hard, and PAINful for all the games..i think i just got screwed..big time. i put a lot of time into this game just going for THAT trophy. it's kind of pointless to even play the game anymore..

Posted on 09.03.09 11:54 AM by Patrick

Wow...i just got it. Crazy!!!!! A while back i accidentally shut my ps3 off while it was saving..and it corrupted my save file for the game, which means i had to start over with nothing..i had A LOT, too..not just for Downtown..but all the other boards as well...i almost didn't even do it cause i was so mad cause i put a crazy amount of time into the game. Anyway, it kept all my XMB trophies since they're online...but i just thought to myself i'll retry the 'grenade a maid' and 'trill' trophies even though it said i had them..and i just did that and 'King of Pain' popped up!! 100%...finally!!!!!!

Posted on 09.03.09 15:10 PM by DO2K03

@ Everyone entering the contest:

Maybe save yourself some time and effort. The video up at the top of this board just say's " Make sure your 'launch' is funny or difficult..." It doesn't mention your 'run', just say's launch.

On the link for official rules it say's entries based on Difficulty (score) and Humor. Here http://www.us.playstation.com/AxePainContest09

Launch seems to make more sense now because who wants to sit through thousands of replays up to 4 minutes each.

I'm not 100% positive so it'd be nice if somebody from Sony could confirm this.

And also explain how 'the first 250 to get the Smooth Jarvis trophy in-game' will be determined for t-shirts.

@TonyB: Sucks dude Frown

@Non-US'ers: Seriously, get over it. It's AXE US that's the sponsor. They are targeting US citizens with a contest, nothing more, nothing less. It's just the same old "US gets everything, Europe gets nothing" as they always have feeding us. It's not Travis' fault nor any on the PAIN team so I thinks it's unfair and frankly a bit over-dramatic to actually stop playing the game because the contest isn't in your country. It sucks, yeah, for me too, but seriously, relax people.

It is unfortunate that it has taken so long for the BD patch. An incompatibility notice would have been appropriate to prevent people from shelling out their hard earned money for something they cannot use - albeit temporarily. This strikes me as being quite a low act.

As the US market kicks back and enjoys the fun, the European market is kept outside, waiting for the keys to the front door. The sad fact is that they have already bought their right to enter.

If there are problems, there are simple ways to appease the customers - communication. Leaving such important information to an obscure blog, designed for a US market, is quite rude and ignorant.

I do not blame Travis at all, but someone has to answer for such a mess.

It would be easy to accept if it was a terrible game - but as 'Pain' rises to such great levels of quality, I expect better attention to its customers.

Yes, I must admit, I'm a tad disappointed. Smile

I understand you pain completely i live in Ireland and share the problems...europe is considently forgotten about when it come down to itFrownFrown

Posted on 09.04.09 13:59 PM by Mullypower

@ the moaners above

Pain was never intended to be released on disk so I am guessing that the updates are different from the downloaded game. As for always leaving Europe to last that ain't true, over the last 2 years a couple of newly released Pain content has come to the UK first.
SO STOP BLOODY MOANIN WILL YA

@homerjnick

All of those fixes I posted so far should be out in a big patch. They are going through test right now so you shouldn't have to wait to long.

For Limp Wrist if you have over 1000 monkeys you just have to hit 1 for it to unlock.

Posted on 09.04.09 15:24 PM by norman

@European BD People: The BD Patch will be released this week. When it comes to patches we have to wait in a queue before we are tested and released. 1,000 pardons we are now in the hopper.

@Jason: You can blame me. I don’t mind taking lumps for things. Occasionally I freakin deserve it. We do the best we can. Sometimes the process here at Sony takes way longer than the actual work to fix an issue. Oddly enough it’s done to protect the consumer. Often, it just ends up making you guys mad at us. Patch/Update process is something that is always getting changed at Sony. We are getting better.


@Everyone: Look, I am not in control over the contest RULES. AXE is a US product and therefore we have to abide by the rules. It’s not like I am in some dark boardroom thinking how can I piss off everyone playing PAIN by excluding the rest of the world. I also cannot change the rules just because a few of you guys don’t like it. No amount of ire or bitterness is going to change legal contest rules. What I can do is see about what I can do about making the shirts purchasable.

As far as the first 250 movies. Those are the first 250 movies I find on YouTube. I am doing the searches so if I see a movie, it meets the needs I will log it. Secondly, the winners of the contest will be subject to our opinion. We will make it very obvious which ones are forerunners.

@Mully: The Europe is the bastid child of PSN just doesn’t hold water anymore. It’s really not true with PAIN. Europe got an exclusive BD, Release of content is simultaneous and often times (although it’s not always on purpose) you get content BEFORE the United States. So sorry that excuse is so not true.

@BrainMachine: I am trying real hard to get this woman celeb out for Halloween. IT’S KILLING ME! I am sure we will do another Dynamic Theme (as I have said before) We will see what I can cook up. In our defense though… We might have more normal themes for free than any other PS3 game. I am not saying it evens us out but we do have quite a bit.

@HomrJ: Yeah, when we release new content to the store we take that chance to update the codebase. So the answer is YES that’s when the bug fixes will be there.

Posted on 09.04.09 15:47 PM by travis williams

@Travis Williams
I'm not going to enter the contest, but I'd happily buy a PAIN T-shirt if you had them for sale.

Posted on 09.04.09 16:16 PM by Vyrastas

...only if the T-shirt has PAIN on it, though. I suspect the shirts from this contest will have both PAIN and AXE on it.

Posted on 09.04.09 16:19 PM by Vyrastas

@travis,

have you guys looked into the online profiles resetting? I wish I could provide rhyme or reason as to it, but you can look at mine (paerley) and see that my skill levels are non zero, but a lot of my games show as zero times played. FWE will show up as 1 or 2 games right now (maybe 5 or 6?) yet I have 100 skill. I'm going to start charting when it happens, what I had just done, etc, but that's effort, and I am most certainly a lazy man.

@slammin,

You are obviously not in a position to find the humo(u)r in my previous post. It was meant to be some sort of under-caffeinated snide remark. Sorry it wasn't a better attempt, I've never been a funny man.

Posted on 09.05.09 03:44 AM by MutilatRJuggalo

@Travis

Thanks. I have a new, very messed up bug to report in Museum FWE. It just worked me. Bad.
Actually John and The Probe mentioned it earlier, so I'll explain it fully.

First time was about 2 weeks ago. Scored like 800+ in Painful FWE Museum. A serious chore. I press circle to encapsulate my moment for display to all - and The PS3 Reboots. Like "Hey looky over there... PULMPH - GUT CHECK!!!

That sucked huge. I was happy to me moving on from that mode. So instead I've spent the last 2 weeks just chokin my hiney and getting denied on a repeat performance.

Until tonight, when I finally found my groove and cheek-clenched my way to 911. Ya, ya but check it - So I'm just fully relieved I finally got it back. I smiled a genuinely happy smile and thought... ef ya. Oh effing ya. Cloudsters back on top. 6 billion earthlings/ none scored more.

To play it safe, instead of circle I thought I'd hit triangle, do a lainch or two and THEN hit circle to save.
So I hit that triangle button. Then I was hoisted up and pile-driven down on my neck and beaten with bar-soap filled socks.

My whimpers proved costly, and the beatings intensified until I remained silent. I caught a bar in my teeth and bit down. It helped to muffle my cries.

I dressed my wounds and cleaned up my droppings as the game loaded from a fresh reboot. My high scored wasn't saved. Man, that really took alot outta me. I don't think I want to do that again.

Travis, please copy and paste this bug for Dave because this one feels far worse than any missing trigger crate outing I've ever had.

Thanks

@Obsy: Jeez dude, that effing sucks!

Posted on 09.05.09 14:58 PM by KnizzleHizzle

@paerley
My online data has been reset also. I have 100 in FWE as soon I play at least one noob.
Frankly I'm a little bored with the whole online data thing. Reaching a skill level of 100 doesn't mean anything. I was hoping for more signficant data recorded where we could score chase like the leader boards for all the off line games.

Posted on 09.06.09 00:48 AM by THitter

@Juggs - Yeah, it WAS 120gb, but now it's 500gb... Red blinking light of doom for me. The suck part is that it won't let me do a full restore, because the backup was created on a different system. I hope this has something to do with going from a fat to a slim, because whats the point if you can't restore a new system after your old one dies?? It's going to take days to do a full re-DL of all the crap I've bought... My download list has 565 items, so even taking out the demos I still have 500 DL's to do! I've put about 6 hours into it already, and I still have about 400 to go....

Posted on 09.06.09 02:05 AM by TonyB

Then I have to call Sony and see about getting my Movies & Tv Shows back!!!

Posted on 09.06.09 02:07 AM by TonyB

@THitter,

Skill level doesn't matter to me either, but the game count does. I use it to judge when I've been playing too much.

Posted on 09.06.09 02:56 AM by Patrick

@Patrick
Agree that number of games disappearing all the time is annoying. I'd like to see more info kept and displayed. Be nice to know how many games someone else has played when they enter to play. Still feel that skill level doesn't depict what a user is capabile of. Play 100 noobs doesn't mean I can beat you or obscurred.
I really hope that as Travis said early on, that work is being done to improve the online display.
It would be nice to know how many games are going on, who's in them, and some way to queue up to play that person next.
Can't say how many times I've sat waiting for someone to play and not knowing that you or a few others are in Pain and may be in the online mode and playing is frustrating.

Posted on 09.06.09 04:32 AM by THitter

@Travis

Are there any new modes comming that don't involve throwing? I'm really only a fan of FWE and hope that somehow you can invent another mode that isn't all about launching and throwing.
I like to ooch...

Posted on 09.06.09 04:35 AM by THitter

@everyone

is PAINBall that skeeball idea i heard about a couple of posts back?

Posted on 09.06.09 05:07 AM by lorine

@Everyone: We are working on bug fixes all the time. I just pointed Dave to your bug Obscured so hopefully we will see what’s up.

@THitter: The next Naughty Bit is all about Ooching so there is no real grab mechanic in it. So there you go! I hope you’re happy. I think you will be. It’s a blast. And PAINBall is not a grab and throw mechanic at all. It’s more Ooch and Pimp Slapping. It’s a really fun multiplayer game. I think it’s the best one yet.

Posted on 09.06.09 06:32 AM by travis williams

TRAVIS!

Make PAINBall a single player game too please!

ANYONE AGREE SAY "I"!!!

Posted on 09.06.09 06:55 AM by lorine

PAINBALL IS A SINGLEPLAYER GAME! No amount of I's will change that.

That is all....

Really?!?! No one even acknowledged my Brucie idea? I thought I was really on to something!

Anyway, when are we getting the Fat Princess?

And also, it seems just about everything that moves in the museum can give you a boost in some way. But I can't find out how that triceratops can boost you.

- bowling training giving an error and suggesting to redownload the content which does not fix the issue.
--> nothing on any blog here

- the 1000 monkey's in downtown-trophy not unlocking.
--> someone on the previous blog said it was fixed.... well IT IS NOT

- sore spots that is nowhere to be found.
--> on the previous blog, Travis said it was supposed to be there... IT IS NOT

- i have not received any response as of yet from my email enquiries.
--> thanks for that!


Is it really that hard to give your clients some basic feedback about what is being done about all this?!

I have spent too much time already trying to figure out what the hell is going on here.
Tell me wether or not there will be a fix for all of these issues which will allow me to keep my saved progress. Or tell me who I need to address for a refund.

Yeah yeah, george takei, another addon the BD users can't use, as the patch is still not online...

I would like to know the reason why those addons get released with no problem, whereas the patch don't show up... maybe it's because the addons gets money to the devs and the patch don't ?

You'll say that the patch is in a queue, waiting to be tested, but hell, I guess it's the same for the addons, but those get released, even if they're not working on the BD !!!

Why not sell that POS BD on amazon & buy PAIN straight from the PSN like the rest of us. If you don't want to do that then you could always turn it horizontal and proceed to forcibily *and enjoyably* insert it into your "FlaminDave" asshole.

@ Ron_Is_GOD_420

You paid for addons and they're working, great for you ! But I doesn't give you the right to flame people that gave money for something that don't work... And I'm not even talking about the disabled online play (albeit if online play means playing with people like you, I'm fine without it).

Imagine if it was the contrary, I think you'll be pretty upset by now, waiting one month for a ghost patch !

@Homerjnick

So they said... But we're not in a recreation ground, and I won't take "it's not us, it's them" for an answer. Try to say something like that to your boss, and see what'll happen !

And what's really upsetting me is that they announced deadlines that were not met... If it don't depend on you, do not commit yourself to something that could eventually not be honored.

it was all a dream,
i used to read PS magazine,
travis williams and jason coker up in the limousine,
hangin pain posters on my wall,
every saturday, jarvis splat on the museum wall,
i'll let my custom soundtrack hop til my ps3 pop,
smoking weed and bamboo, giggling my ass off,
way back, when there was just a 2 character pack, 1 level and that was that,
remember promises too, har de har, they never thought pain would get this far,
now they're in the limelight cos their games tight,
time to get paid and blow up like SCEAFreak's play stay (tion),
born sinner, the opposite of a winner,
I remember waiting 8 months to launch a character at the brock lee spinner,
peace to idolminds, trav, coke and ps3, uganja just did a verse ripped straight from B.I.G


Hah. was bored and wanted to stop the bickering :-D

@Hastur:

But what if Idol Minds were told the BD patch was early this week by Sony and Sony failed to deliver?

Thats not Travis and co's fault is it? They told you it was early next bcos they got info from Sony and passed that to us!

Your beef is woith Sony, not Idol Minds.

@ everyone calling us moaners

we paid for a product that promises a certain set of standards. if idol minds cannot live up to their promises it should not be our problem, but theirs. idol minds did not even have the decency to give their costumers experiencing issues any feedback or support at all. travis and co only respond to a select group here on the blog. the group that continues to respond to our rants with ''moan'' comments. Yes youre special
putting the blame on the long queues with sony is no valid argument at all. the product released shouldn't have had these issues in the first place!

Posted on 09.08.09 17:37 PM by

Awesome job this week, Idol Minds.

Takei is awesome, though I miss some kind of insignia on his space outfit! I realize you can't put the actual ST insignia, but a little something? I'm just nitpicking - he is awesome - HOT SWEET OOCHES inded!

I see above the patch is out (by the end of the week, I might add) and the European BR buyers should be able to partake in the awesomenss that is Online PAIN! Now get crackin' Europeeps!

Hopefully we can all get along, now, Painsters!

Now Travis... Elvira??? Quite a while ago when new environments were being discussed, the PAIN graveyard was talked about - a Halloween themed environment with crypts and coffins and vampires, werewolves all things spooky! It's the only thing missing from PAIN! Please tell me you guys are hard at work on somethign like that???

I LOVE museum, by the way. it is without a doubt the best environment since downtown, and I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves next! Keep up the great work!

@Homr: Software has bugs. Every bit of software in the known universe has them. To the degree to which they hamper your use of said product is always the question. All any company can do is try their best to mitigate that problem. Being angry or rude isn’t going to make the QA process any faster. Just because you have no empirical evidence that work is being done doesn’t mean that work isn’t being done to address any and all issues. There is a process that must be followed to submit updates at Sony. It really doesn’t matter that you don’t like or accept it. I’m not wild about it. It doesn’t change the fact that it must be done. PAIN is a product that Sony Computer Entertainment is new to. PAIN is the shape of things to come and so we encounter all sorts of issues no other product does. It’s good because we test the limits of the platform and show our bosses what must be done in this new area of content delivery. It’s bad because you get to see what we are not perfect at YET. In exchange for your patronage I try to sneak as much free stuff out as possible. Sometimes I win sometimes I loose. It’s okay if you get angry. Just don’t expect me to spend copious amounts of time explaining why things are the way they are. I seem to do it every 2-3 months.

@Brain: I have no idea who Elvira is… is she some kind of star? (Chuckle)

@Dave: Sorry the patch took so long to make its way to you. I hope you forgive the mess we caused. I have flogged those responsible. Have a dope weekend.

@Uganja: YOU SIR…. HAVE SKILLZ! If you don’t know now you know… MUTANTS! Yes Idol Minds is working on new stuff and NO we won’t say what it is.


@Ron: Look if my game didn’t work I’d be pissed too.. I understand people get upset and unless you take it too far I don’t delete messages. We released the patch so hopefully everything and everyone is good in da hood now. PAINBALL is a 2-4 player multiplayer game. It’s played on as many environments as you have purchased and it’s really REALLY fun. It’s the one mode where being a Douche and Smack Talking is practically required.

@Hastur: The way content works for PAIN is we hand over a bunch of content to Marketing and then they determine when it’s released. This is INDEPENDENT of a patch. So patching and content releases are not tied to one another so stop thinking I am over here sitting on your cash and giggling at your misfortune. It’s not true.

@Lorine: She is part of our next content patch release. Fat Princess is in test now so when she passes format I will announce how and when you can get her in PAIN. Just like all the other SCE characters she will be free. SEE! I do give a way FREE STUFF!


@Debbie: Sorry I wasn’t the author of this post so my posts are not in red. It’s one of the many things I will love about a new PAIN site. Sorry.


@Bentley: I am not sure what error that you are experiencing. Sounds to me like maybe you installed PAIN on more than one machine and then didn’t download all the content on another machine. If you have one machine I would suggest you redownload and install PAIN. Something funky is going on and I never seen that error. That happens to me when I buy new PAIN content at work and forget to do the same thing on my home PS3.

Alright everyone… 2 more weeks on the PAIN AXE contest… I will post next week and show you some of the prizes.!!

"As far as the first 250 movies. Those are the first 250 movies I find on YouTube. I am doing the searches so if I see a movie, it meets the needs I will log it. Secondly, the winners of the contest will be subject to our opinion. We will make it very obvious which ones are forerunners."

So the t-shirts go to the first 250 people who uploaded PAIN AXE Jarvis vids and not the first 250 to earn the AXE trophy in-game? And how will you make it obvious which contestants are the forerunners?

And nice one. about the previous comment. You'll post in RED!

Posted on 09.08.09 19:00 PM by lorine

@ travis.

If you are required to download bowling-training seperatly like the fwe explosives pack, I suggest you talk to the people responsible for the European psn-store. Its is not in the list. Nor is the sore spots pack for that matter.
I am far from the only one experiencing this. All of my friends who recently bought the game have the same problems i'm having + there are a ton of posts going around the net about these issues.

For your information, I only own one system and i have already tried reinstalling the game several times. I have the psn-version.


As soon as get home, I will check wether or not the new patch solved it. Who knows...

Travis...

You are the man. I just had to let you know. you take a lot of BS from a lot of people (even me sometimes). But I really appreciate the fact that you are so up front about the things you do (upcoming release hints NOT included).

Part of the reason I love PAIN so much is that you guys really do listen to us, and I guess I've never had that kind of interaction with a company I didn't work for. IdolMinds should give you a fat raise.

So even though you take the BS, you also deserve the credit for an awesome game that has replaced my long time reigning champion favorite game, Toejam and Earl from Sega Genesis days (who would make great launchables, BTW).

PAIN is a great game, and it continues to get better all the time.

You can send my asskissin' payoff check to www.thebrainmachine.com

Looking forward to launching Sulu all weekend. See you all online!

@Bently... Are you on a BD version of PAIN?

@Brain: Thanks for the props. I knew when I started this site I was gonna have to take the good with the bad. I don't mind when users get in my face. To know me is to know it happens often. I prefer it at least it's honest exchanges.

Posted on 09.08.09 19:36 PM by travis williams

@ travis, ron

no the european (belgian) downloadable version.

I asked a friend from italy last night who bought the game a couple weeks back aswell and he was experiencing the very same problems

- no sore spots not in game nor in psn-store
- no bowling single player
- and the limp wrist-bug, but that should be fixed.

hence my guess that the problem lies with the psn-store...

Right, I've been meaning to put this forward for a little while now. I believe there needs to be a new in-game trophy, you know, just for fun.

The requirements are simple, get the Cavewoman to hit the launchable granny with her club. The name of this trophy you ask?

......*cough*...'Fannie batter'...ahem..

..Maybe it only makes sense in the UK?, I'm sure you'd like this 'un eh Slammin?

@Juggs - Called Sony today, I had to give them the serial #'s of my old system and the new system, plus read them the date of purchase on my new slim and they said that I'll be able to download all my video I've bought in 24-48 hours, but it might not be till Monday cuz they don't work weekends... They have to de-autherize my old system, them re-autherize all the video content I bought so it will apper in my DL list again. So it looks like all will be well. I had to teach the girl on the phone how some of the menu options worked, but the call was fairly easy to make. Fingers crossed, and I'm down to 179 DL's left to get my games back... What a PAIN (on topic!) in the arse!

@Travis

Thanks for your reply on the bugs, I feel that in your reply you think I am mad or angry that the bugs are there, in now way am I raging or angry and haven't really demonstrated that!

I am a beta tester on many PC games and know full well how the testing and bug process works.

I have posted in this topic 3 bugs, Air Attack, Limp Wrist and Explode-A-Load (although this trophy is not glitched as I got it the other night).

Your patches and updates have always helped the game and the fact you have fixed the issues I reported and the HnC timer issue is utterly fantastic as well as the BD Patch.

Please keep up the good work and I look forward to hearing what the next environment is.

But please do not mistake my willingness to post bugs here as a sign that I am unsatisfied with PAIN or Idol Minds.

PAIN has brought me great joy since I bought it on release and I have played it at least once a week ever since. I have met cool people with awesome skill in the game and I myself am only 9 in-game trophies away from completing it (5000 crates and 500 bears? (come on!).

I have bought everything PAIN related and will continue to do so till you shut up shop.

So in effect, I support you and report bugs to be fixed so you can make this game more enjoyable! I am not critizing you or your game!

Come over to Scotland and I'll buy you a pint and a whiskey and we will all be friends again?

TheBrainMachine touched on the subject earlier saying, "The Trophy is cumulative, so keep hanging onto vehicles, eventually you'll get it."
I recommend downtown because the cars can go farther while you hang on than anywhere else.

@Travis
WTF is going on with the online ranking? I was playing online today and I noticed, like paerley mentioned a few times, that my game count has reset. My skill level is all there but according to my profile I have played 0 games. Also I just got finished whooping a rank 100 in Knight at the Museum Horse. He waited all the way until his last chance to disconnect. I didn't get counted with the disconnect but my Horse skill level did drop from 45 to 40. I know online gaming is difficult for you guys to have for this game but the counting and ranking should be easy to maintain shouldnt it?.

Posted on 09.09.09 12:00 PM by Al3xX_420

when will we get those other people the cowboy,fat princess,the girl,and that strange guy at the bottom

Posted on 09.09.09 13:56 PM by Al3xX_420

What is with all the trophies in later updates requiring pay-for characters?


I buy the new environments, new trophies based on those requirements are released...


...and I need buy even more DLC to earn the trophies belonging to a totally different form of DLC (that I alread paid for).


Your attempt to try and squeeze extra cash from me fails, I'm just losing interest in the game.

Posted on 09.09.09 13:57 PM by KylieDog

@KylieDog
I know what you mean. I bought Santa because of the Secret Santa trophy and he fuckin sucks. I used him like 1 time since getting that trophy in May. And during that 1 time I learned that Santa can't grab or ooch for shit. I know Travis and Coke put their unique, uhm, talents into the Santa character but he seriously sucks. Please PAIN team if your going to make more trophies that require downloadable characters at least make it a character worth buying. Like Ivan, he's hilarious and a decent launchable.

Posted on 09.09.09 14:30 PM by Al3xX_420

I suspect that the 'Santa' trophy was more of a reward for those that had already gotten santa than a trick to get more people to buy him. People who bought him when he first came out were likely sorely disappointed that he's next to useless... I've never found a use for him... doesn't slide well enough to be good at FWE or horse, doesn't grab well enough to be good at MT or CT, not funny enough to be fun.... I was glad that I at least got to use him for SOMETHING finally

Posted on 09.09.09 16:19 PM by Patrick

HEY! EVERYONE! anyone who cant get space takei quickly, i just grabbed the rocket in the pain museum, it works! let the rocket fly around and it gets the "Ft" up by alot

@Travis Williams / PAIN Developers

Please tell whoever came up with the requirements for the Home a-Blown in-game trophy (Cratetastic - Movie Studio) that they are cruel and sadistic. 5,000 crates is ridiculous.

@No name:

Thanks.

I unlocked him.

Posted on 09.10.09 09:27 AM by debbie

I will explain this for the millionth time now. You cannot get more trophies for content that exist. You have to create trophies for new content. Otherwise games would just keep making trophies and exceed the Sony point limit. The only way you get more points is new content. We are NOT making new content to justify trophies. We can only get new trophy points with new content. PAIN has always planned to release content (PAIN was launched BEFORE trophies were even created). So this incorrect assertion that we are somehow milking customers for trophies is just plain WRONG.

Great to see the BD patch up and running - works smooth as silk. Nice to experience the Museum (great classical representation of the 'Pain' theme, a touch of brilliance there Smile)

I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this. The release has quashed any and all ill feelings - at least for me.

I understand that things don't always work out as planned - we don't always have absolute control. Indeed, control is illusory at the best of times.

Communication will ease most of the pain - yet, given that, the squeaky wheel gets the attention. Complaints are a natural part of the process. For all involved, we have to take the good with the bad.

Thank you for your continued support, Travis.

Best regards,

Jason

Just a couple of threads about other people not finding the bowling-training and sore spots packs in the European psn-store.... I have seen others post here aswell and every single 1 of my European friends is experiencing this also...


Could someone from the PAIN-crew finally make a statement about this other than: 'I have never seen that error and have no idea whats going on' or 'I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to buy the sore spots pack'...

Try it out yourself with a European account...

@The_Probe - I hear ya bro. It's pretty messed up innit. A big open palmed POP to the side of the face, including the ear.
The Devs are aware of this.

I have a ? for you Probey.... were you playing while logged in to the PSN or were you offline? I'm trying to see if it has anything to do with the games' attempt to update the leaderboard while you are connected. Just a thought.

Posted on 09.11.09 20:26 PM by obscured

@D02K03
I have all the add ons environments and modes but I dont have all the characters. I have about 3/4 of them.

@PAIN team
Once again I lost skill points when I was disco'd on. I usually gain skill points when a player with a higher skill level disco's on me. But the last couple times I've lost skill points and I havent even been penalized with a disco on my record. But I think it has something to do with them disconnecting on their turn. If they disconnect on my turn I get the skill points, if they disco on their turn I lose skill points. Not sure if thats what the problem is but it is a problem.

Posted on 09.11.09 21:20 PM by Al3xX_420

HEY TRAVIS....

Why is it that if I play Shotblocks with The Hoff and get over 8 million, it doesn't Unlock Tuxedo Hoff???

Not for nothing, but the trophy specifically says that you have to get a score of 6,900,069. It doesn't say you have to do it in an actual area like downtown, or the museum or anything.

What the heck's up with that??? Not for nothing, but i got the points, the condition was met, but no reward...

It seems that you haven't commented on anyone's post here, so I'm even wondering if you'll comment here at all. U on vacation or something?

Sorry guys....I don't mean to be an ass but I've had it with his ignorant childish posts. I don't understand why he thinks anyone wants to read his wangsta rap or listen to his whining or see NPH & Elmo dance. I hate clicking on that crap on youtube, why would I want to see it here also? It is getting really old. Grow up & go away.

On another note, my 21 month old daughter went poopoo on the potty for her first time today!!!

HOORAY.......that much closer to finally getting rid of nasty diapers & saving a ton of $$$.

Posted on 09.12.09 07:38 AM by DO2K03

@Travis


What I meant is I buy something like the school reunion and it comes with a new trophy list. However to earn one of those trophies (the Snata one as the example) I need buy even more DLC (Santa) that isn't new.


Sorry but I find that kind of wrong. If the new trophy came with the School Reunion DLC all I should need to earn that trophy is the original PAIN game and the School Reunion DLC (and anything I can unlock by only having those).

I buy a lot of DLC for a lot of games and I cannot think of any of them that add new trophies that require something from different DLC entirely to earn.

I apologise for the 'squeeze extra cash' comment, you've gave us loads of great free stuff, I just find it annoying I buy new areas and then find I cannot even earn the trophies for it, rather than high scores a lot of my fun for PAIN is in the trophies (in game and XMB).

Posted on 09.12.09 08:45 AM by KylieDog

@D02K03:
I have ALL the PAIN content as well, all layouts, modes and chartacters!

I assumed that unlocking the Hoff needs to be done in the main part of PAIN and not in any mode like Naughty Bits.

Who cares how much it costs? The full game is only £4, I guess nothing about it should ever be complained about with your logic, why fix bugs for a £4 game? right?

Posted on 09.13.09 03:40 AM by KylieDog

@Everyone: Seriously thanks for getting all the content. I try my best to make sure it’s all good. I think the new Naughty Bit will make everyone happy. Especially those who don’t like grabbin and tossing.

@Bentley: I left a message for our EURO crew. I will get to the bottom of this. Seems rather odd because they are running the same code we are. I won’t speculate on what the cause is. It’s certainly strange.

@Lucas: You clearly only look for RED posts. Someone let that man know I am indeed posting on this thread. Since he won’t read this either. LOL


@DO2K03: I am thinking of some dynamic theme ideas. I will post my thoughts when I’m all set on a few ideas. Tati shaking her goods seems like a good idea.

@Erik: I am not sure if Naughty Bits count towards the cumulative scores. I should add that. Some one please tell Erik that I am posting in non red on this topic. LOL

@KylieDog: We did not make the rules for trophies. As a Sony development house we MUST follow the rules or our content will not be approved. Trophies are not the main reason we make new content. It’s actually not a reason we do new content AT ALL. Like I said before PAIN was conceived to be a game that had content released post launch. Trophies are just an added luxury. It’s hard to determine all the DLC that people like and make trophies just for that. Even if we could it wouldn’t be within the rules of PS3 software development requirements.

what glitches? lol, PAIN FOO. glitch all you want i just play. you look for small imperfections. you said your part. and read by a dev. im sure small imperfections will be fixed as soon as they find a way to stop the glitches. but still, the add-ons are all worth the few bucks that they are. even if anything was $20.00 i'd still get it. not for trophies, but because i love the game.

My son turns 2 the beginning of October and he refuses to be potty trained. It looks like I've got another 2 years of buying diapers to go with another little one due in January. Enjoy the extra loot. I know what I'd spend it on if I were you.

On the potty training topic...

My special lady friend's 3 year old son decided just last thursday that he's potty trained. He knew how before, just refused. Then last week it was just *BAM* I'm gonna go on the potty now... crazy of crazies...

@travis

Wait, pain was intended to provide only the content people want, not forcing them to spend $60 up front for everything, no matter whether they want it or not? That sounds like some sort of socialist neo-natal double speak to me. Next thing you're going to say is that you guys actually take pride in the quality of the content...

Seriously, santa is the only disappointing (pay for) DL so far for me. I've yet to find anything he's good for (maybe bowling?). Daxter slides about as much as an eraser, but at least he was free. Everything else has been used and abused on my console.

Posted on 09.13.09 05:24 AM by Patrick

@ Anyone (Specifically the PAIN team)

I thought of the best idea for all the HOME content. Make a space (not a house) for each environment. Downtown, Abusement Park, Movie Studio, Sore Spots, and Museum. Try to recreate it exactly and make it huge. For example, in Abusement park, u could ride the rides, play some minigames and arcade machines. And just make everythin interactive for each environment like going up escalators and what not. Also, make a costume for each character and make em like 99 cents or $1.25 each. Also make some furniture and decorations like a mini (or big) statue of each character and some stuff like the stone couch in Museum.

Anyone like this idea?

Posted on 09.13.09 05:44 AM by lucas

TRAVIS...

I hear what you and others are saying about cumulative points, but when you finish a round of Shotblocks it still submits your score, so maybe i'm thinking this wrong, but points are points. Sorry, i'm a programmer, so it's hard not to think like one. In my head all i see are IF statements, and loops and indicators.

Ahhh code...

Right on. Ok. i'm stuffed. Ate wendy's.

Please give me the Hoff!

a can of coke costs more! i woulda paid for him if i had to, but all the characters came free preloaded on the blueray, only had to pay for the new 4 and hoff.

is there more conntent this week? now the patch is workin, i look forward to update days!

@Juggz

Don't feel overwhelmed, I still crap my pants.


@Travis & Co.

Not sure if you remember me bitchin awhile ago about my Movie Studio trophies being non-existing but they did finally show up. Better late than never, I suppose. But my REAL problem is "Pain & Mane" and "Helmet Pi". They both seem to be conspiring against me because neither want to unlock no matter how hard I rub them. I have over TWO HUNDRED games of horse and about 150 games of trauma & its still locked.
Helmet Pi is starting to get VERY old. I have gotten that gladiator on, in, under & through that sporty sportster EVERY time I play in MS but still no trophy. Is there something I missed?????

@DO2

I am already buying every spongebong hemp....errr....spongeBOB SQUAREpants dvd and every Dora plush stuffed and beaten product there is, so I kinda get the gist of what you're getting at.

@RON: I deleted them. I use my personal feelings when it comes to what actually stays up on PAINPS3.com I am pretty liberal when it comes to posts. That had nothing to do with PAIN, Sony, Axe or gaming. So I deleted it. This site isn't a forum for whatever people want to say and do... Nazi toons (no matter how silly or crude) won't be posted here.

That's all...

Posted on 09.14.09 02:56 AM by travis williams

I guess, Travis. I know it had nothing to do about PAIN but neither does half the stuff talked about on here. Maybe if you guys would give us a new post and maybe keep us REGULARILY updated with the progression of things and then maybe we wouldn't have to entertain ourselves with irrelevant topics. I wasn't trying to be insensitive about it, I just thought it was interesting, that's all.

Posted on 09.14.09 18:13 PM by Patrick

@srart,

As far as post editing goes... if you implement a system like this (blogging, etc), adding and deleting can be done fairly efficiently as far as scalability goes, as you don't have to manage caching objects. A deleted post will just disappear and fall out of the cache once it's not been accessed in a bit. To be able to edit posts, you have to be able to expire the cache, and when you run into a system that has to span multiple web servers, that can end up being a serious problem. I'm guessing that the Sony rules specify the SPECIFIC code that you have to use to allow posts by users on a playstation.com blog, and as such, they have to optimize that code to handle the WHOLE of playstation.com. I know I've never seen a response on any playstation.com blog edited, and I know that I've written very similar code that makes these exact assumptions.

I guess what I'm saying is, you gotta understand that These Guys (Pain people) have to play by Those Guys' (Sony people) rules... and Those Guys have to think of what it takes to make the MOST people happy. The ability to edit posts would slow down the software for everyone, while only pleasing a few people. Deleting a user's post, while allowing them an opportunity to re-post a similar post that meets the criteria specified by the person that deleted it (and Travis did say why he did it), is the compromise in this case.

I think yall should for sure pursue Paul Hogan, Pauly Shore, & Pete Rose as launchable characters. I think either or all would fit perfect in this game.
Also, I was playing with Ivan & noticed when he says "I'm the Roosky Zoosky" there's no pitch change to his voice. It's pretty funny.

So PLEASE quit being coy, and give us the skinny. Also, I dunno if you guys are fans of 'Kung Pow: Enter the Fist', but there is a character called Evil Betty that would be perfect for the launcher. Jus sayin.

heeeeeey travis... in the next content release can you please make it possible to nuke spunky the clown so i can kill him once and for all?
you know since your not gonna make him launchable... that way i don't have to make another 100 replays of me trying to kill him.

@Travis

LoL....you are TOO FUNNAY.

As if the sarcasm in my own house isn't enough, now I have to get it from ppl I don't even know. I am totally down with having my own section though. As long as there is no censorship of topics. JP, man, JP Wink

Anyways....did you see my post about my psn trophies?
Helmet Pi & PAIN and MANE. They just will not unlock no matter how many times I meet the requirements. Well, here's my post from above....

@Travis & Co.Not sure if you remember me bitchin awhile ago about my Movie Studio trophies being non-existing but they did finally show up. Better late than never, I suppose. But my REAL problem is "Pain & Mane" and "Helmet Pi". They both seem to be conspiring against me because neither want to unlock no matter how hard I rub them. I have over TWO HUNDRED games of horse and about 150 games of trauma & its still locked.Helmet Pi is starting to get VERY old. I have gotten that gladiator on, in, under & through that sporty sportster EVERY time I play in MS but still no trophy. Is there something I missed?????

@ NUFCRULE

I have an extra UC2 beta key if you want it It's US region though so not sure if that works for you. I sent you a message on PSN.

@Patrick: good point, I didn't think about it replicating across servers. I'm only used to working on a solo server. Would kind of the code they use for it would just post and replace, using the same key.

Posted on 09.15.09 09:59 AM by srart

@srart,

Yeah, it's real easy to forget that our little community here is just the elite upper crust of the whole PSN network...

The problem isn't in the whole cache updating, the problem is the performance hit you take when objects can change. This means, each machine has to check if they have the newest copy of an object regularly, as you don't want to do a lazy cache update on editing a post... you want it immediate (so you can quickly remove questionable content). Lazy updating is the most efficient way to handle this sort of thing, at the cost of it not being instant.

Now keep in mind, I have no actual insight into how this thing actually works, but I can make gross conjectures based on experience and not caring about being wrong. (not that we're likely to ever be given insight into the way it works, as and sort of information disclosure like that could lead to security problems down the road)

@PAIN team
are we getting a new PAINlab this week? we're supposed to get them every week but we've only been getting them about once a month lately. is there something you guys are working on that is taking up all your time?

Posted on 09.15.09 11:51 AM by Al3xX_420

the simpsons would be perfect in pain.

Posted on 09.15.09 12:17 PM by DO2K03

Noooooooooo

If the Simpsons were in PAIN then it would be just another Simpsons game & not PAIN anymore. IT WOULD TOTALLY RUIN THE GAME.

Smile

Posted on 09.15.09 12:44 PM by Ron_Is_GOD_420

@RON: Yeah I am having my test team look at that to see if they can do that. But every time we release PAIN we make sure you can get all the trophies so something odd is going on. I don’t know what’s up yet. But I am checking on it. I remember once upon a time we had a bug like the one you are talking about but we got it sorted. I dunno we will see. I live and die by my sarcasm. So if you were shopping for it I can assure you that you have come to the right place.


@Al3xX: We have been trying to sort Europe BD and Japan PSN and because of that it gums up the works on PAINLabs hopefully with this next push we will be back to our weekly schedule. It’s been kinda wacky lately. Sorry.


@D02K03: The Simpsons would be expensive in PAIN as well.

Posted on 09.15.09 13:24 PM by travis williams

My vote is SPUNKY the CLown.... hehe spunk...

Posted on 09.15.09 14:01 PM by Eric

Honestly, If i had to pick any person to create as a Launchable...

Uh... Lord Helmet from SPACEBALLS!!!

LUDICROUS SPEED... GO!

Posted on 09.15.09 14:02 PM by Eric

Don't know how much it would cost, but it sure would be fun to hear some launch lines from SCOOBY-DOO!!!! Ruh-roh!!!! Rooks Rike ri'm in rouble!

Posted on 09.15.09 14:41 PM by TonyB

@Travis
you know who would be very cheap to make into a launchable AND make you a lot of money? SPUNKY!

Posted on 09.15.09 15:16 PM by Al3xX_420

I nominate C-3P0, you could almost cut all his whinging and moaning from all the movies

Posted on 09.15.09 15:46 PM by

how about aqua teen hunger force? launch shake would be fun.

Posted on 09.15.09 16:48 PM by DO2K03

sloth is still my favorite still. he was dropped 2 times as a baby. lol

Posted on 09.15.09 16:50 PM by DO2K03

@alexx
fully agreed... spunky in the launcher would be inexpensive and make pain lots o money... the community has spoken... WE WANT SPUNKY, WE WANT SPUNKY, WE WANT SPUNKY, WE WANT SPUNKY, WE WANT SPUNKY, WE WANT SPUNKY, WE WANT SPUNKY... god huting that clown gives me a feeling of complete bliss and absolute joy... stupid liver transplant took away all the poor guys stamina but not enough to make him stop bouncing on that damn pogo stick... genius.

Posted on 09.15.09 18:22 PM by joseph

@Everyone - Click on Obsy's link. BEST PAIN VID EVER!!!

Posted on 09.16.09 03:56 AM by qb2bTheReaper

I think I have watched obscured's Spunky Beatdown vid like a hundred times and it still is awesome.

Every so often when the camera is right in front of Spunky when is going up and down is classic cinema moments!

@obscured
thank you again for making that vid for me... you are the shizz-nit for doing so!

Posted on 09.16.09 10:26 AM by joseph

@travis
i know you shot me down the first 1000000 times i asked for spunky but i'm gonna take spunky's advice and TRY THAT AGAIN!... so can we pleeeeeeaaaaassseeeee have spunky launchable? don't you see how popular he is?

Posted on 09.16.09 10:32 AM by joseph

I'll add my voice to the Spunky request pool. I'd like to inflict some PAIN on that punk.

Posted on 09.16.09 10:51 AM by Vyrastas

@joseph

For once I agree with you Sir Obscured is by far the best for Pain vids which is one of the reasons why I gave him a Knighthood. But scrolling through the 261 videos on youtube he still ain't entered???

@ Sir Obscured

why you no enter the vid contest and win a 42 incher for your wall??

Posted on 09.16.09 10:58 AM by Slaminthelamb

I would agree about Obsy's vids, they are exceptional, I myself will not be entering, I don't do the whole you tube thing, no time I would rather be playin'.

I would like to start a poll of who wants a T-shirt without entering a vid, because I would gladly pay for one.
