one of the first, if not THE first Resident Evil 4 clones: Cold Fear. by
Publisher: Ubisoft by Developer: Darkworks

Cold Fear is for Xbox, PS2 and PC. a Gamecube version hasn't been
announced yet but doesn't really nead it since Cold Fear can't possibily
touch its RE4.

right down to the laser sighting, lol



" Players step into the role of Tom Hansen, a U.S. Coast Guard who is sent
to board a drifting Russian whaling ship in the middle of a howling storm on
the Bering Sea, and there discovers that there is no safe place here. On
this constantly rocking and shifting ship and a mysterious oil rig, you must
turn the interactive surroundings to your advantage to take down human
enemies - and enemies that aren't human any more - and save your own life."

LMAO.

Looks well cheesy, when are people going to realise RE has a HUGE reputation
in survival horror, and ripping off its gameplay mechanics and engine is
giving yourself enough rope imo.

It cannot be a clone if it was already near end of development before RE4
was released.

Not true. Early screenshots were released as well as other information.
Also, some of the RE4 development team could have defected.

So the "clone" could even have preceded the original.

Difficult to tell full game content from screenshots and news snippets.
Compare games as a whole, not partial information. There are hundreds of
games out there that have similar aspects of gameplay doesn't mean to say
they are clones.
Its a bit like Ty Tasmanian Tiger 2, it has a radar, open gameplay and
mission spots. Some people say its similar to GTA by design, but you would
certainly not class it as a clone.

Reminds me of that survival horror game for the Dreamcast called Carrier. I
actually kinda liked that game.

I was thinking the same thing. Didn't play the game much though.
