PAIN expansion includes 'more than the original release'
PAIN was generally well received when it released in America last year (and a little later in Europe), but one of the main criticisms of the game was that there isn't enough variety. Many people called for another level because, let's face it, sometimes one just isn't enough. Thankfully, the latest blog post over at the official PAIN website discusses the first expansion pack for the game, as well as a screenshot of the new level that will be included. Apparently the new expansion will feature more content than the original release. Nice.
Reading through the rather rambley blog post reveals a "wish list" of sorts, pulled directly from the comments and stats from PAIN players. This wish list includes more moving parts in levels, a different character launcher, a multi leveled environment and multiplayer. Supposedly all these, and more, will be included in the next expansion pack. When that will be and whether it will include trophies, is anyone's guess.

What's the catch? Is this expansion $10? Anyway, I hope it comes out soon, lately I've been feeling pretty ripped of by PAIN due to the lack of content.

As much as I love it, It feels like groundhog day when I play it. I neeeed new map! And free too! LOL

Pain is still fun the extra content sounds cool enough but I don't really want to have to pay more then 5 bucks for an expansion pack to a 10 dollar game. I hope they price it right or else they just ripped off everyone who bought the game in the first place.

I know there are those who love this game. But it was only good for eight to ten hours of gameplay. With no content, I eventually deleted it from my harddrive.
I don't plan on buying anything else.

Charging people half the price for twice, three times the content they already paid for? Isn't that like paying more for gas than you would for a car? No? My analogyometer is broken.
I like how they can realise a piece of shit, hold back on content they could have included then release it months later to wrench a few more bucks out of the poor saps who bought the game in the first place. Ahh capitalism is a joy to behold!

I like how they can release such nigh-on unplayable dreck, hold back on content they could have included then release it months later to wrench a few more bucks out of the poor saps who bought the game in the first place. They'll probably charge per trophy too. Ahh capitalism is a joy to behold!

Pain was fun for like 10 minutes. I doubt I would get the expansion.

hey, btw, trophies have been confirmed to come with this expansion, you may want to read the rather rambly blog+ Official comments by Travis.
Slade @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:22PM
i wish they whould hurry with the trophies so u can buy this game just like the Super Stardust HD :P
Scilent @ Jul 4th 2008 5:01AM
I really like this game alot. I got it for free with the MGS4 bundle so I don;t mind shelling out some money for that much crap. Plus four player is sooo much fun. Horse is my favorite but I love to bowl also. Developers need money so they can continue making cheaper fun things on the PSN so as long as it's reasonable I don't mind paying.

I like PAIN, it's a great game to play now and then and I'm looking forward to the expansion.

"(and a little later in Europe)"
Erm, 4 months actually. At least they've said any new expansions will be released worldwide at the same time...

hello, Mr. Alexander, you should fix the blog post since the end of it is not true stating "When that will be and whether it will include trophies, is anyone's guess." seeing as he confirmed it will have trophies, and that also monday he's going to have an OFFICIAL PLAYSTATION BLOG POST explaining a bit more. the pain post was done actually as a reward for posters who posted over a thousand comments on the getting stale may blog post. FIX YOUR POST PLEAASE, its bugging me...
