"The Suffering is a cult classic horror action game released back in 2004 on the PS2. It was developed by Surreal Software and published by the now-defunct Midway. Following along in the path of silent protagonist, Torque, the player navigates through a prison being invaded by hellish creatures. These monstrosities are modeled after ways to die, or more specifically, executions. Depending on how Torque interacts with fellow inmates and the corrections officers, the ending would differ. The Suffering is one of the earliest games to incorporate a morality system that had a real tangible effect on the gameplay and the overall ending." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
The spooky season is at last upon us, making the next couple of weeks the perfect time for a healthy helping of horror. There's no shortage of options out there, so here are a few suggestions to get the ball rolling!
I remember the suffering and it was descent game. I always wanted to play Crimson but never got to it.
But honestly, I’ve never played a game that really scared me, like some movies from the past have.
I remember The Suffering 1 and 2. I haven't thought about those games in years. I still remember some parts of the level in the prison where a guy was sucked through a vent screaming. I don't know why that's stuck with me all of these years.
Full of frights, spooks, and claustrophobic journeys, the Original Xbox has what will quench the thirst of every horror fan.
Such a shame that they never ported Fatal Frame II: Director's Cut to anything else. The added ending is by far my favourite.
One of the very few games that I would actually like to see a remake and deserves a new current gen upgrade.
Fatal Frame 1&2. Its a horrible shame those two original xbox games never got backwards compatible for series consoles. Horrible
There are many ways you can spend your October, but why not spend it immersed in the horrifying experiences crafted by brilliant development teams and storytellers? Get sucked into their twisted worlds to get into the Halloween spirit with this list of 15 must-play horror games of the season.
I'd love a reboot or remaster of nightmare creatures. I never played the suffering but it sounds cool.
If you don't gameplay that hasn't aged in the best way (but is still workable), it's definitely worth playing. The sequel was... okay, but the tone and atmosphere of the original lends for a great horror game.
I loved The Suffering series. There were far more horror games back in the PS2 years and I really miss so many of them now
Glad to see this article. Suffering and Suffering Ties that Bind were both excellent. Great enemy designs by Stan Winston, good story and dialogue, solid gameplay and excellent atmosphere. I loved the visual trip outs and nightmare sequences. Both games also had a morale/choice mechanic that affected the way Torque looked and changed the ending which added to the overall experience. It would be fantastic to at least see a remaster of 1 and 2, or better yet a Shadow of the Colossus style full remake in a completely new graphics engine.
well since Midway died.. i wouldnt mind remakes of both
Midway closed down and no one cared enough about the property to buy it sadly.
