Gaming News - September 2005
Chicago, IL (September 26, 2005) - Midway today announced that The
Suffering: Ties That Bind has shipped to retailers nationwide. The game is
available for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, and for PC.
From Midway:
The Suffering: Ties That Bind begins shortly after the first game ended, as
protagonist Torque arrives in Baltimore Harbor after leaving the unspeakable
carnage of Carnate Island behind. As Torque makes his way through the gritty
streets, the disturbing demons seem to have followed him to the mainland and are
now wreaking havoc across the city.
“The Suffering franchise is the definitive action-horror experience,” said Steve
Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. “The Suffering: Ties That Bind brings
an American sensibility to the genre with Torque, the main character, taking the
fight to the horrors stalking him as opposed to running for his life. The team
at Surreal puts as much focus on providing a great experience that draws you in
as they do in delivering top notch gameplay and the results speak for
themselves.”
Ties That Bind features Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile, Armageddon, The
Scorpion King and Sin City) in the role of Torque’s nemesis Blackmore, and
Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under, Blow) portrays Jordan, the woman in charge of
a strange paramilitary research outfit that has been conducting cleanup.
Torque’s dead wife Carmen returns from the first game to help guide players, as
does the demented Dr. Killjoy.
The unique morality system also returns in The Suffering: Ties That Bind. As
players choose between good and evil throughout Ties That Bind, they will
determine which of three possible endings will conclude the game. Players with a
save game from the first game will also be able to see one of three different
beginnings depending on their morality choices made in The Suffering.

About The Suffering: Ties That Bind
The Suffering: Ties That Bind is a revolutionary action-horror game that
emphasizes the disturbing terror of its predecessor, with new twisted creatures
and a few familiar faces. Set in the unforgiving streets and prisons of
Baltimore, the player once again controls Torque as he seeks revenge against the
mysterious grand manipulator Blackmore, a man somehow tied to the death of
Torque’s family. Players will explore the tough inner-city, with poverty and
urban injustices trapping people just as effectively as a physical prison. The
unique morality system returns, as players delve into the perverse world of
Torque’s sanity to discover his past and struggle to control his future.
