GOG is working hard at bringing back a lot of great titles, be it classic or modern, into their library, and not only that, they are also adding them to their own Preservation Program, which aims to make titles released on their service available for posterity, with the buyer having complete ownership of the product that they buy.

One of the most recent additions to the GOG Preservation Program is the title "Cold Fear", a third person survival horror title published by Ubisoft for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC back in 2005, amidst the craze of the original Resident Evil 4, with many people comparing Cold Fear to RE4, even though both titles were released during the same year. Cold Fear sees a US Coast Guard, Tom Hansen, take on a rescue mission to during a heavy storm, only to find out the vessel is abandoned with no humans on sight, with something still lurking on it.

This re-release of Cold Fear on GOG brings the following features:

• Full support with Windows 10 and 11.
• Included all 7 localizations: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Polish.
• Added native support for 16: 9 widescreen monitors.
• Added native support for high resolutions including HD, Full-HD, Quad-HD and 4K.
• Added native support for high refresh rates.
• Added support for integrated graphics cards.
• Implemented resolution select fallback mode for uninterrupted reconfiguration.
• Optimized default graphics settings.
• Fixed game speed issues without locking framerate.
• Fixed broken alpha blending after Alt+Tab task switching.
• Fixed brightness/contrast sliders in graphics options.
• Added support for modern controllers (including Sony DualSense / DualShock 4, Microsoft Xbox Series / Xbox One / Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch 2 Pro / Switch Pro, Logitech F, Amazon Luna) with same button layout regardless of hardware.
• Added support for controller wireless mode and hotplugging.
• Added support for controller D-Pad and trigger buttons.
• Added support for Force-Feedback controller vibration.
• Optimized default controller button bindings based on Playstation 2 scheme.
• Fixed incorrect mouse button state after switching tasks with Alt+Tab.
• Fixed mouse cursor clipping on multi-monitor configurations.
• Fixed music playback on the title screen.
• Fixed game window responsiveness during video playback.
• Added support for Cloud saves.
• Added support for Galaxy overlay.

I'm glad that GOG is still preserving games to this day, but the fact that this is a Ubisoft game pissed me off just a little.

A LOT, ACTUALLY.

Exactly like what even is this

This game is actually pretty damn good it's Resident Evil like vibes from the old ones and inside the ship is a creepy environment.

I know I've said this before, but I remember when Ubisoft became an underdog overnight with Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Beyond Good & Evil. After that gen, they seemed to have flipped that reputation. (Like EA's Origin, Uplay did not help.)

Ooooh, that reminds me. Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in development. This might belong in the Unpopular Opinions thread, but 17 years of hype is just too much to live up to. Plus, didn't they ditch Jade and co. for a new cast? Maybe that's changed since the last few announcements.

You seriously chose whatever this is over rayman 2

If you don't like the game, that means you haven't played it, and yet you're complaining. Cold Fear is not a bad horror title, I actually quite enjoy it. And secondly, Rayman 2 is already on GoG, so play if you do consider going with a genre you like if horror ain't your thing-you know that not everybody has the same taste as you.
