Cold Fear, I Am Alive and more arrive in the GOG Preservation Program along with a Black Friday sale
For those that prefer the DRM-free store GOG, they've expanded again with new enhanced releases of Cold Fear and I Am Alive along with a Black Friday sale. You can check out the GamingOnLinux Guide to get GOG games on Linux / SteamOS.
About restoring Cold Fear, the GOG team said: "Originally published by Ubisoft and now re-released by Atari with our very own restoration efforts, Cold Fear represents the kind of behind-the-scenes cooperation that helps ensure cult titles don’t quietly fade away when technology moves on. If a game is part of our shared gaming heritage, it deserves more than to be left broken on modern hardware". They also mentioned how it has new support for "robust controller support for popular pads, unified button layouts, and full support for wireless play, hotplugging, D-Pads, triggers, and vibration, all based on an updated scheme inspired by the original PlayStation 2 controls" along with various other enhancements to fix up glitches, crashes and so on.

It has been a long time since I played either of those games, but I Am Alive in remember as an original game for the time. Kinda like a more serious Disaster Report type of game.
A shame it didnt get a sequel cause the mechanics worked well and combat was overall fun.
The game had been going on sale for a dollar or two on steam but the gog version costs more noe.
Still its clearly more playable here and supports the work behind it.
Do hooe the steam version gets the uodates too though.
Happy to see Screamer, Epic pinball Rayman 2 and others get the treatment too.
Epic Oinball being a dos game I usually just grab the fikes and stuff it into dosbox pure or something but lazy installing it on PC has been just fine too.
Curious what improvements they felt it needed kr maybe they did nothing and its just a garuntee thing but eh, always a good day to see thus commitment to preservation
