BeefJack: "The Suffering is carnage with intelligence, pathos and jet-black humour, and enough blood-soaked energy it could well end up stuck in the back of your mind for years. (It did mine.) It makes a great case that horror is about much more than disempowering the player, and it stands up over half a decade after its release. Go on. Admit it. Pick up the shotgun and scream your head off – it’s so much more fun that way."
GOG has announced that Warner Bros is set to remove The Suffering and its sequel from the digital storefront next month making the game inaccessible to players.
Already own the originals (the first on PS2 and the second on xbox), as well as the GoG versions. It's dumb they're getting delisted, but it's not like they're hard to emulate either.
Yeah, I don't understand the delistings. I don't see WBs taking the time to remaster them so any sales you get on GOG would be better than none.
I've got the first on for my PS2, never got around to playing the second.
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
this was a such a great game,one of my favorite games from last gen,sad it doesnt have a sequell in this gen
I loved this game so much. One of the first horror games that I ever played. It scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
in my top 10 favorite games of all time. too bad the sequel (equally great game) was riddled with bugs that makes it almost impossible to finish the end boss.
very underrated franchise in my opinion. dead space used this game as example of how to use controls for horror games.
