Episode 208 : Cold Fear (PS2/Xbox/PC)

stone and in a gray area where they hadn't quite figured out that kind of thing or how they wanted to do it I really wish it was just a behind the back shooter you know that I think that would have worked better for this game but I get what they were trying to do they wanted to do the cinematic Resident Evil thing and you know for the most part it does work but there are definitely times where it just annoys the hell out of me trying to get him lined up and do all this what I need to do and there were too many…

... Is there something about this mechanically or store wise, it really stands out for you? Well, I think just the fact that it predates Resident Evil 4 and still has the over the shoulder shooting mechanics, not quite as polished as Resident Evil 4, but you know, coming out before that, I just thought it was, it was really awesome for like a kind of mid-tier game. ...

run I see people playing it online in about three three and a half hours if you know your way around so it's it's definitely one of those that it's something unique if you want a survival horror that's not a Silent Hill not a Resident Evil and well for the time had a a pretty unique location it's you can't go wrong with it I like this one a lot more than I thought I would and I think if you're one of those people that always like their dislike the slower pace of a lot of survival horror games I think this one…

it into the platform to move the game forward and at that point that's the first half of the game I really like this game up to now I don't dislike it after this but I think the first half of the game is definitely better than the second half in the same way I feel about most Resident Evils to be honest like I like playing the whole way through but you know the mansion part of Resident Evil one is my favorite once you get into the lab I've lost a little more interest I'll play it but it feels more that some of…

But man that ship is so damn good though like it's like you guys are talking about like what a great setting it is and how it sets the mood like it does it like it amazes me that more games do not use a ship setting out at sea you know a tanker on a tanker with crazy you know the rain and storms like Modern Warfare 2 did it and Resident Evil of course did it a couple times but yeah this is this is so well done. ...

blend those things and it does an okay job I feel like the controls on this are kind of a prototype of what's to come it would it was a step up from the previous like pure tank controls but it would definitely be refined and then you know Resident Evil 4 would come out and change change the whole game as far as controls went with this genre but I feel like this is a weird kind of kind of growing pains as far as the controls in this where they're like ah we're not going to do tank controls but it's not quite as…

... But no map means it's very, very hard for me to keep track of where I am and to figure out where to go. I think I've been spoiled by all the Resident Evil games and even Silent Hill having maps that tell you what to do. ...

it's a hundred percent compatible it felt exactly like it should playing the same controls you'd have in a ps2 so this is an easy one to find and I think if you do like these classic Resident Evils but want to try something different this is a good thing this is a very good fit if you like those classic first four Resident Evil games I guess whereas even one two three and code Veronica this this would fit right in that that that game collection without feeling out of place yeah I really think so it's it's great…
