These past seven months have really been busy for the PAIN team. In addition to releasing our updates we have been feverishly building the “better mousetrap.” The DOWNTOWN area in PAIN was a huge success for everyone involved! I remember some of my first interviews where I had to explain PAIN to people who haven’t played before. Let me tell you, that wasn’t even remotely easy. Seven months later let me try that again …

PAIN is a game that picks up where other games leave off. In every other game when you are smacked so hard you fall down the game dusts you off, and makes you try again. When you get smacked so hard you fall down it’s time to START playing PAIN! You’ve barely gotten warmed up!

Now you know how to OOCH. Your MONKEYS have been SPANKED. Your FUN WITH EXPLOSIVES skillz are legendary. And MIMES … they get weak in the knees when your PSN Name is whispered. You’re quite the master of disaster.

DOWNTOWN … has so been destroyed.

Now it’s time to hit The Amusement Park for some rest and relaxation right?

WRONG! This Park needs to know your name

Also from the response to the comments the online multiplayer modes will work with both Downtown and the Amusement park, trophy support will also come at the same time as this. You will get trophies for the downtown map without the add on aswell, they also mention another new environment wont be to far off the release of this pack.
 
Ah wicked! Online multiplayer will be sensational and it strikes me as a game that'll benefit from the trophy system a fair bit. A new level won't hurt much either, pun intended ;)
 
7 months later only 1 new level, when it is clear that new levels are needed more than new characters they wasted the last 7 months adding new characters and milking money.

I think it is quite poor to be honest. Most people must have played the first level to death after a few months, at that point instead of releasing new environments they released crappy characters.

The online is a much needed add-on.

Will this be free? I don't like the idea of having to pay to obtain Trophy support (ignoring the other features which should be in a separate update IMO).
 
This game badly needed another environment. One was just never going to be enough. Good to hear that this is finally coming after so many many many months of waiting. Online multiplayer should be interesting.

I am guessing the Trophies will be free. Sadly this is another game where retrospective trophies would be better. This is the type of game where certain scores will be used as Trophy markers, I can't see people bothering to do high scores again just for the trophies tbh.

Ah well, at the very least I have found 3 other people in this thread who are into this game, to play Online when the patch/add-on is released.

I'm hoping the new level will be free, I doubt it somehow though.

I'm with rp2000 though, they should have been adding new environments rather than adding pretty useless new characters :-/
 
I'm pretty sure I recall them saying previously that the online patch would be free, but I don't know if that'll be separate from the new level.
 
I like PAIN but it's always been a game which doesn't deliver on it's potential imo. Hopefully this add-on will remedy the situation and make it a lot more fun :D
 
Is it a decent game? Always thought about getting it and have some money to burn. How much is it on PSN, £4.99?
 
Just downloaded it. Tis very fun at the moment, but i can see how one level will get repetitive. Glorified tech demo for Havok really, but still good for a fiver. Hopefully the new map will be free or as cheap as the characters you can buy.
