The Suffering Gone Gold
 February 23rd, 2004 (12:00am) - Midway Games announced today that The Suffering, the first game of its kind to probe into the very unsettling and seedy underbelly of a maximum-security penitentiary haunted by horrific and grotesque apparitions, has gone gold and will to ship to stores on March 8, 2004 for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.
The Suffering captures the disturbing and terrifying nature of the horror genre in a compelling third-person action/adventure game set in the mature and gritty world of a maximum-security penitentiary. By alternating periods of tense and terror-filled exploration with frenetic combat sequences, The Suffering creates the ultimate experience of terror. In the dark world of The Suffering, creatures jump out of shadows, fall out of trees, and erupt out of the ground, attacking the player in the most frightening ways possible. Along with a cast of uniquely hardened criminals and guards, players battle not only the ghoulish apparitions besieging the prison, but also the demons of their own forgotten past. The Suffering Features:
9 gritty and terrifying levels—transverse indoor and outdoor terrain and horror lurking in every dark corner.
Amazing character morphing effect—fills your rage meter and transform into a hideous and powerful creature.
Over 10 deadly weapons from the shiv to the flamethrower to help you survive this nightmare.
A dozen horrific monsters—each representing the means of execution that befell them—stalk your every move.
Blood and gore galore, dripping, pooling and splattering every level of your frightening journey.
Interact with hardened criminals featuring advanced AI; garner their assistance or end their life on your path to freedom—it’s your choice.
3 distinct endings depending on how you play the game. Are you a cold-blooded killer, a man wrongfully accused or something else?
Intricate levels featuring moveable and destructible environments.
