Talk:The Suffering (video game)

Possible Endings
Would it be possible for someone to add to the 'story' section the game's ending(s)?

Rance Truman
What is of this 'Rance Truman,' whom is never spoken of during the game but at the beginning of each new level has something to say via letter format?
 * You meet him in the sequel. He's a little crazy. 72.49.248.114 22:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)dethtoll

Engine Issues
I've added a section on engine problems. A lot of people who've bought the original game after TTB, or wanted to play the original after installing/playing TTB, found themselves dealing with graphical problems, and yet any information surrounding the solution I've mentioned, which is proven to work (I'm playing Suffering 1 right now actually) is rather difficult to find. So I put it here, in a manner that fits with Wiki's encyclopaedic nature. It'll likely be of some use to someone. 216.68.209.189 00:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)dethtoll

Cleaning up
I'm doing a little cleaning up on this page; there's a few innaccuracies and mistakes. I also moved the three main "ghostly" characters (Killjoy, Hermes, and Horace) to the Other Characters section, seeing as while they ARE technically dead, so is Torque's family and that hasn't stopped THEM from haunting Torque throughout Carnate. In addition, they don't serve as actual enemies (bosses, maybe, but that doesn't quite count as Hargrave, for example, is certainly a boss character.) 216.68.209.189 03:26, 25 June 2006 (UTC)dethtoll

Setting
It was my understanding that the island/prison in the game was based on a real facility in maryland? Does anyone have any knowledge on that?
 * It doesn't seem likely, as the fictional prison is portrayed as being a corrupt hellhole of murder and death. I don't think the game's creators would want to invite libel possibillities when it is so easy to make an entirely fictional prison. Lots42 (talk) 17:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Only PS2, Xbox and PC?
I have this free promotional booklet released by Nintendo in 2003 with me, in it it says that the suffering is for the Gamecube. Did it come out for the Gamecube or was it dropped? I hope it came out for it...


 * The game was cancelled for Gamecube. Sorry. 72.49.117.53 15:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)dethtoll

Wow, that's interesting... pretty sure it got cancelled like that other guy said, would have been cool if it was on the gamecube though...--KrisPwnz (talk) 01:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Major clean up
For all video game articles there is no need to put in list of creatures, weapons and such. Wikipedia is encyclopedia, not a walktrough of gameFAQ site. I will delete hose lists as such. --Soetermans 07:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Waiting to Die - Prelude Level
Is there a reason why there is no mention of the bonus prelude level that becomes available after clocking the game. I know that it may spoil the bonus if put on the page but i think its relevant so im putting it in there. Oh and the article sounds too much like a walkthrough in some places. I think it should be changed. --Savre 10:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Seems to be a bit contradictory in your desires there... Lots42 (talk) 10:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

The characters section
As it is, too much fancruft. Needs massive editing. One sentence per person at MOST. And yes, this does contradict my previous edits. My opinion changed.Lots42 (talk) 21:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox?
I played the game. It's the exact opposite of non-linear/sandbox. Lots42 (talk) 04:14, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, you can go around in areas that don't lead to the end, but I'd still agree that it's mostly a linear game.--KrisPwnz (talk) 01:52, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Question
Ha, I'm probably talking to myself now, but it's worth a try. Does anyone know what Mapping Software this game uses? I'd like to know. Thanks. --KrisPwnz (talk) 19:00, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

United States Air Force?
The article states that, for a time, the game was available for free courtesy of the USAF. I can't seem to find any articles about WHY this was the case though. Does anyone know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.51.71.73 (talk) 20:46, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Dr. Killjoy isn't a Psychologist, he's a Psychiatrist and Medical Practitioner.
Taken directly from the game's pamphlet on the mad doctor:

"One of Abbott's most persistent legends tells of Doctor Killjoy, the quite insane psychiatrist/surgeon who ran an asylum on Carnate. Doing research of my own, I found that he did indeed exist, though which stories are true and which are fabrication is anyone's guess. Since the cataclysm I have three times seen a surgeon formed of pure light, reminiscent of sixteen millimeter film projection come to life. Could this be the fine doctor?"
