Talk:Pain (video game)

PS3-only and PSN
Bean23, please explain why a game released on PSN cannot be in the Playstation 3 Only category? If it is a remake of a game released years earlier (ie. Rampart, Gauntlet II, ...) then I would agree. How would you categorize games like SOCOM:Confrontation or Warhawk as those are going te be released as a download and on BD? They are new games not previously released on another platform.

Response: Pain looks like an excellent downloadable game, but it is still a Playstation Network game and not a full-game. Thus it belongs in the Playstation Network category rather than the Playstation 3-only category. Look at the Xbox 360 exclusives page; there are not any Xbox Live Arcade games included in their list of exclusives. Likewise, there are not any Virtual Console games included in the list of Wii exclusives. If we do not treat this category the same way with all consoles, then the likely result is that they will all be added to the exclusives list and the results will thus be incorrect. Is Pain an exclusive to the PS3? Yes and no. It's truly an exclusive to the Playstation Network.

Video games released on the PlayStation 3 without being ported to or from other video game consoles. By this definition games distributed by PSN belong there too. I'm also wondering why you keep dragging XBox Live Arcade games into the discussion. Most of those games are indeed ports, but there are some exclusives distributed through XBLA. Why would anyone discriminate because of distribution method? I've started a discussion on the Playstation 3-Only Games category asking everyone's oppinion whether or not PSN games don't belong there. And where are you placing Warhawk? That game is going to be distributed through PSN and Blu-ray. --193.75.228.252 17:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Further discussion is done on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#What_does_"only"_mean? as this applies to multiple distribution and game platforms.

Character relation info?
There is some stuff on the character section that says that Jarvis related to Ed, etc., and I've never seen anything say that on the official site or anywhere else. The only citation given is a picture of the character. Does anybody know if this info came from somewhere, or if it's completely false? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoganTheGeshrat (talk • contribs) 19:08, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I have deleted those statements as they were unverified. --Soviet689 (talk) 20:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * While I have not seen any sources we can add confirming the following, I noticed that after the latest update the in-game biographies of the characters seems to have been removed. Does anyone know of any press release or anything indicating why?  Best, --A NobodyMy talk 18:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Sackboy Character
There have been no official statements that sackboy will feature in the game can someone officialy verify it or delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.205.251 (talk) 23:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you find a source saying it isn't? There's already one claiming otherwise. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 23:34, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * On PSNation, travis confirms that sackboy will be in pain —Preceding unsigned comment added by Estemshorn (talk • contribs) 19:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

character list
how come the character list got deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.161.164 (talk) 23:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * A character list should only be added if the game has a plot, which it doesn't.--Megaman en m (talk) 16:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

So should it be created with a separate page or not, well it does not have a plot just like some games that has a character list like Buzz!. At least we can let people tell who are the characters are or less add some reliable sources or references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.158.221 (talk) 15:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Free-to-play version
According to reports, Pain is being re-launched as a free-to-play title. The dev website lists PS3 and PS4. — TPX 21:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Looks as though the free-to-play version has been scrapped. — TPX 19:55, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
