The PlayStation.Blog's "Inside the Developer's Studio" feature continues in its run up to E3. On the 25th we saw Cory Barlog (possibly our favourite developer, simply because his surname is so close to Balrog) discuss God of War: Chains of Olympus on the PSP. Twice. Yesterday it was Travis Williams' turn as he gives us some pre-E3 insight into PAIN, the upcoming PSN title.

When asked what the developers of PAIN are doing on the PS3 that can't be done on any other consoles, Williams waxes lyrical on the virtues of the PSN and how it allows a direct dialogue between audience and developer. He says "there's a level of interaction with the game players that we couldn't achieve until now. We've got cool ideas, but I'm really looking forward to see how other people play PAIN."
Speaking of cool ideas, Williams says that they're interested in developing new characters for the game before it is released. So if you have any thoughts on characters you'd like to inflict pain on by shooting them out of a giant slingshot, post a comment on the PlayStation.Blog post and, you never know, you might see it in the final version.

Not a huge title but this game looks like it's gonna be alot of fun. I for one could go for maybe unlocking Barney as a character to inflict massive pain upon, or some celebs would be cool.

EDIT: The whole point of this... I wanted to ask, who do YOU want to cause PAIN to? heh ;)

Oh man Barney would be awesome, definitely deserves massive amounts of pain. Paris Hilton would be great to throw at buildings as well lol or that Mims guy...

 how about a Mii that would be interesting to throw

This looks like a good, fun, throw away game. It's 10ish bucks a pop for these, right?

Depends on the game 5-10$. PSN has the best prices of these download little game things.

Paris
Bush
Bill Gates

i hope this game has custom made characters hehehe he.

Custom characters that we can SHARE would be very cool indeed.... think if we ask nicely they'll put Phil Harrison in it, LOL... I would like to throw him against the wall for some of the crap that manages to come out of his mouth(he must be missing the same filter that Bush is), hehe. And if the custom chars are there no doubt we'll see 100 different versions of Bush AND cheney, maybe even rumsfeld.

 @Bodhetsva, yeah I'd suspect since it's a new game it's probably be 10 bucks, well worth it if it's on par with Calling All Cars, tht game is helluva lot of fun.

 Yep, that's good value.
