Game won't run
I can't play
May be Win11
PLease fix
This game absolutely sucks. I really don't understand how this is a cult classic. The only people that like this game are redditors that want to seem unique and different. The two main issues with this game are the crap camera angles and lack of a minimap. These two things make the game extremely tedious and frustrating to play. The lack of a minimap means that I got lost ALL THE TIME and unnecessarily retraced my steps. It was incredibly annoying. The camera also has a mind of its own and whenever you aim it can sometimes aim your character in the wrong direction. Keep in mind this game relies on jumpscares and tight hallways with enemies, so it is important that the camera and aiming abilities be good. But they aren't and this game is just not fun because of it.
The game also has crap default resolutions because it is so g0ddamn old and the only way to fix it is install a custom .exe. Yeah no thanks I don't care enough about this game to deal with that crap. Basically there is a reason this game was forgotten by time. Its because it absolutely sucks ass and deserves to rot eternally in the dirt. Fvck this crap game.
A nice clone of Resident Evil and The Thing. Fast, simple to play, quick to learn. Story is duller than could be. Controls are horrible though.
!!! The game has LOTS of issues and requires fiddling with game files to have it run properly, for most people !!!
I got this game since I remember playing it back when it came out and it's a good memory. I use to enjoy this kind of game a lot and the setting being a boat with the constant rocking in a storm was pretty neat. So I wanted to give it another try, knowing memories are often best left in the past.
However, the game could still be fun if it wasn't for its technical aspects aging quite poorly:
-If you change the resolution in game, once you quit, it won't ever launch again unless you delete the res file in the game folder. You need to edit the game executable itself to change the resolution.
-Then there are issues with multi monitor setups, the mouse cursor isn't constrained to the game. This could be solved by plugging a controller (even when using a mouse/keyboard) or using a 3rd party software to lock the cursor. Or sometimes it's not an issue until you alt-tab.
-This is the next issue, there are basically no save. You have auto save after completing a mission but only if you go through a door to start the next mission. Otherwise the save screen doesn't trigger. So if you need to take a break, you have to alt-tab.
-Overall the controls are outdated and clunky. It plays like an old school PS game, which is obviously how it should be seen and played. With a controller and as a piece of gaming history. As a modern experience, it's not really enjoyable especially with a keyboard and mouse. Doable but not enjoyable, you're constantly taken out of the game by handling issues.
The story is interesting in a simple but creative setup at times, the voices and sounds are good and there are cutscenes and everything. Playing with an upscaled resolution and by modding the executable to get a decent base resolution as well makes the experience more modern without losing its old school touch. I played this all blocky 640x480 back then but a better resolution makes it look how I remember it. The magic of memories.
It's a pretty decent experience if you're able to deal with the issues and don't mind being thrown back 15+ years with the mechanics.
This game could do with an update/remake as it would still be a decent product, most than a lot of recent "make all the money" games that get released nowadays.
Therefore it's a thumbs up for the bones of the game but I really don't recommend anyone getting this one. There is really no reason besides a collection, which makes little sense with a virtual platform (this said the game has no drm).
Diet RE4/Metal Gear on the High Seas. It;s pretty alright
honestly feels like playin resident evil 4 but on a boat with russians that dunno whats goin on, monsters and fuckin zombies in the middle of the fuckin ocean like imagine if the boat segment from resident evil revelations was more interesting and not segmented and was a whole game this would be it. I also wanna point out that the main characters name is close to being chris hansen but his first name isnt chris LOL
Cold Fear is a nearly 20 year old game, so some imperfections like the camera are to be expected. But other mechanics like not having a manual save menu option/save room or not having an accessible map are just a little frustrating. The game’s story is most like the first Resident Evil movie in that it makes sense the more you willfully turn your brain off. Unless Cold Fear is something you are nostalgic for, I can’t imagine this being something anyone needs to play in 2024.
mouse flies off the screen, tabs itself out and then locks up
6/10
Nostalgia? - Yes
Good Mechanics/Story/Characters? - No
We have Resident Evil 4 at home.
This game is an classic, i remember playing it on the original Xbox when I was a kid. I remember it giving me some motion sickness with the sway of the boat, but always was very fond of this game, it had some amazing graphics and was very spooky. I remember finishing it, though it took many hours to finish. I straight up recommend playing this game its worth it even today. there is a spoiler free review below.
Performance:
I surprisingly have no major technical issues getting the game to run, and everything has run smoothly.
Only issues I have hit, is occasionally the aim down sights on the AK47 get stuck in shooting mode, Basically dumping the entire clip into nothing. it has happened quite a few times, which is annoying especially if its a game about saving your ammo.
Pros:
- Story
- Excellent atmosphere
- Excellent VFX and sound design.
- Different and interesting enemies to battle with
- Level design and set locations are fantastic, the game will make great use of using existing spaces you have explored by keeping it fresh. It makes good use of repeating spaces while progressing the story.
- Cool range of weapons
Cons:
The flow of the game hits a lot of frustrating hitches,
- There is no way point system or map, expect being lost or confused for a good 2.5 hrs of your typical game. Now you should argue its apart of the design, however if you miss a single thing you would loop and loop around and waste a lot of time which can become irritating. You will do this a lot.
- Its sometimes too digital dark... Once again, you can argue that's the point its a survival horror. But there are areas of the game you can barely see a thing, even if I pumped the monitors to brightest it can be. which in combination the dull similar colour palette its very easy to miss doors or points of interest or even understand the layout of a room, which I cant even see which way you are facing, which orientation is all thrown out. Your eyes start to hurt squinting and eventually give you a headache. (I remember this problem as a kid too).
- Saving the game: the game periodically saves the game at a random door you might pass through. It does not allow the player to choose the save the game or cancel a save action when a save prompt is displayed. So you simply have no idea when you can save or when you would eventually be able to save. its pretty annoying, it sort of throws it at you. and in the beginning of the game, if you die you have to replay the entire thing including cut scenes. It becomes old especially if you die due to clunky controls.
- Player flow, this game will give you access to areas you will discover later in the game in out of order. it allows you to walk around and check things out. however when you get stuck. there is no clear instruction to get you back on the right path. so you become very confused and end up spending a lot of time running around scanning walls in hopes you find something new. Once again yes its an old game, but it constantly trips itself over its self breaking the flow of the game-play. I want to be immersed not confused 70% of the time.
Now it does look there are more complaints than pros, but I do really recommend this game. Its good. it has its moments, and the above things were what kept coming up during gameplay that annoyed me but overall for its age and its price its a no brainer. alot of love has been put into this game I coudn't recommend it more than enough.
Probably a cool game. I'll never know though because of numerous technical issues just getting it to run.
Buy at your own risk, and if you do make sure you test it out before the refund window expires.
