Pain has a replay editor, did you know that?

Submitted by Joe Fourhman on January 28, 2009 – 1:56 amComments

Nobody talks much about Sony’s cruel little torture-physics sim these days, with most folks having written Pain off shortly after it first arrived. It took David Hasselhoff’s surprise appearance for people to even recall that the game existed. But Pain has been plugging away, adding some substantial enhancements… like a swanky replay editor that pushes your movies straight to YouTube. To wit, this “Hoff Meets Beavzilla” clip I created tonight:

Naturally the Hail Mary into YouTube wrecks the video quality, but it’s still a balls-hot feature. The editor itself is very simple to use. After you’ve completed a launch and hit the “replay” button, you can bring up the tool overlay… this adds an editing timeline to your replay, where you can choose new camera viewpoints throughout the entire clip. Cameras are either fixed, or they will follow the character’s path. You can adjust each camera’s duration across the timeline, and you can easily go back and alter cameras you placed earlier. You can also adjust the speed of your clips.

Unfortunately, you can’t drop in clips from previous games; you’re limited to the current replay. And I don’t believe you can rewind or duplicate segments, so you’ll have to find another avenue to endlessly loop Hoff’s head crashing through a plate glass window.
