Gaming News - May 2004
Los Angeles, CA (May 5, 2004) - Encore today announced that they have
reached an agreement with Midway to publish their hit console title The
Suffering for Windows PC. The title is scheduled to ship to retailers in late
May.
From Encore:
The Suffering combines a chilling storyline with third person action and
adventure to create one of the most frightening and horrifying experiences
available on the PC. Players assume the role of Torque, a man convicted of a
horrible crime that he may or may not have committed. He’s sentenced to life in
Abbott State Penitentiary, a haunted place that hides a terrible secret, one
that threatens both the prison guards and the hardened criminals that call this
isolated hell home.
Torque’s tale unfolds in nine terrifying levels, where grisly mutated
creatures, sadistic prisoners and guards lurk around every corner. A variety of
deadly weapons are at his disposal to help him survive and escape from prison.
In addition, Torque has a rage meter that, when filled, transforms him into a
hideous and bloodthirsty creature that looks and feels right at home with the
other dozen monstrosities stalking his every move. Torque will be able to
interact with other inmate NPC’s and enlist their help in escaping, or take them
out if they get in his way.
The Suffering also features three distinct endings based on how the game is
played. In revealing Torque’s story, he could be a cold-blooded killer, a man
wrongfully accused, or something far, far worse. The Suffering will be rated M
by the ESRB and carry an expected retail price of $29.99 when it ships in late
May. For more information on the console game visit the website at
