Looking forward to the Pain update tomorrow? Well, it’s not coming, according to Travis Williams on the Pain blog. “Amusement Park will release in September, but not 9-4 like we originally planned.” he says. “The reason for this delay was at least in part due to our retooling the PlayStation Network trophies.”
Seems like the Pain team have reworked a lot of the Trophies, moved a few about and got rid of the grinding needed to obtain the trickier ones. Thus:
GOLD TROPHIES
* King of Pain: Get All Downtown Trophies plus Trill and Grenade-a-Maid
* Affliction Addiction: Get One 100 Million Points in Downtown (Change from 1 Billion)
SILVER TROPHIES
* Harder Dick’s Balls: Get all of Dicks Balls in the Block Party Dumpster w/o reset
* Rodeo Clown: Use Ed to Explode 500 barrels in Clown Toss (Change from 5,000)
* Ninja pwn: Hit the Target Stuffed Ninja in every Amusement Park Mode
* 2 Mill Club: Get “Pain in the Park” and “D-Town Destruction” (Change from 10 Mil)
* Trill: Get Painful Bullseye Trophy with Scurv Dogg or Hung Lo add-on characters (Instead of Tosser)
BRONZE TROPHIES
* Dude Abides: Use “The Dude” to score 30 Strikes in Bowling (Change from 50 Strikes)
* D-Town Destruction: Get 2,000,000 score in Paindemonium and Aftermath (Change from 10 million)
* Pain in the Park: Get 2,000,000 score in Abusement and After Hours (Change from 10 million)
* Combo Mambo: Get 15x Combo in Paindemonium, Aftermath, Block Party, Demolition (Change from 20x)
* Horsin’ a Clown: Take the Clown for a ride on the Roller Coaster
* Glutton: Make 30 “Eat It!” shots in “Call da Shot”
* Constipated: Get 100 Strikes in Bowling (Change from 250 Strikes)
* Pain and Mane: Play 100 Games of Trauma or Horse
* Attention Spam: Get every type of PAIN (Groin, Head, Arm, Hand, Leg, Foot and Body) combo in Paindemonium, Aftermath, Block Party, Demolition.

That sucks. Pain has been quite well supported but seriously crocked by the delays at every stage. They always have a stupid excuse too. I mean, all the changes they had to make because they didn’t think things through enough two months ago are alterations to numbers or deleting next-to-impossible trophies right? Here’s my to do list that will ensure we still get the update tomorrow - only a couple of months after it’s original promised arrival date…
Open your code, delete “500″ type “200″ where that used to be.
Repeat with relevant figures for each trophy.
Delete the trophies you shouldn’t have had there in the first place because impossible is not fun.
Sack the work experience muppet who decides what your release schedule will be.
Upload new content to PSN.
I reckon that takes about 10 minutes if you only type with one hand. Where’s the problem?

It’s like TSA was made for me. I used to go to Gamespot to see what was going on but all the while I’d be thinking “there’s just not enough funny, husky obsessed writers on this site”. Then I stumbled upon TSA. Now I read my PS3 news with a cheer in my heart and a grateful tear in my eye.

What a Pain… seriously though these delays are getting a bit stupid now, I don’t own pain but have been interested in Home, life with playstation FFXIII, GT5 and a few other delayed games..
for once it would be nice if these companies actually picked a date and thought! `you know, it might actually take longer than we think to do this so lets add a few months extra onto the original release dates.`
and `colossalblue` I agree buddy, a bit of number changing in the code and Pain’s ready to go. the way things are rolling with PS-Store at the moment be lucky to have it before November.
I know the PSN is free and updates are starting to get a little better but we’re still behind on the US Store, a lot of folks now have HDMI tv’s and the PAL/NTSC region factor isn’t an issue but is often blamed for a several month delay.. sorry going off topic a bit.. i’ll stop now.

Just typical, just when PAIN’s about to get another level, it gets delayed THE NIGHT BEFORE its release.
The should just remove the trophies from this patch, or update what ever its being classed as, and just release the level, then release the trophies a week or so later in an additional update.
Theres no reasong bothe should be delyed because of the trophies.

im glad their makin them easier though, im currently at 143 trophies, pain has always been a hard game and even these “easy” trophies will still be hard to get, 1 billion was a stupid idea, thats nigh on impossible

Damn.. I still do not own Pain because I will wait for the Amusement park update and hoping a bundle is coming..
So now I have to wait.. as with almost every game I want..
