xb: Cold Fear

[destrukt]

Cold Fear is a upcoming xbox horror survival game, somewhat similar to resident evil [in the sense you have to kill some zombies], but it is fairly innovative.

Unqiue setting offers some cool gameplay challenges; graphics are looking pretty impressive so far; over-the-shoulder view is an excellent addition.

first, the setting is on a old russian boat being used as a scientist's lab and during the game it is constantly rocking, making it harder to aim, but they introduced the ability to grab onto railings etc to steady your aim and there are waves which can sweep your overboard.

there are alot of environmental challenges etc.

In one area, I had to shoot an electrical box to open a door, but the room was slowly starting to fill up with water, threatening to electrocute me every time the ship rocked to one side.

the zombies aren't the basic 'slowly walking towards you with outstretched arms', they duck behind covers, can wield weapons etc.

I've always preferred regular zombies as opposed to Area 51-style zombies. Oh well.

Zombies are dumb. They aren't supposed to hide or duck or run....they just keep coming.

No sir. If these creatures are doing any of the above, I believe there's some form of demonic possession at play.

The game looks sweet though.

The way they explained it is:

Unlike the seemingly brain-dead enemies commonly found in these types of games, the baddies in Cold Fear won't simply stagger towards you with outstretched arms, practically begging for a bullet in the head. At their core, these foes are still human, so they'll be able to wield weapons and duck behind cover.

Definitely demonic possession.

..we come to find that the ship was the base of operations for an exiled scientist working on some sort of parasitic virus..

For some reason, I just rememered one of the zombies on fire in HL2(the sounds they make).
The please sound of death .

Personally you would think zombies beg for death.
