S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in 2006? [May 06, 2005, 11:31 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Oblivion-Lost.com has a story up speculating that the release of
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has slipped until 2006, offering the
following quote from THQ responding to questions about the game's absence from
their recent financial reports covering releases through the middle of next
year: "We have no definitive release date yet for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We do expect to
have some announcements, including a public demonstration this summer. More news
to follow." In an amusing side note, the THQ's
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Website (thanks
Rhialto) actually lists the game as "now available," much to the amusement of
those who frequent the
GSC Game World Forums.
I just watched all their videos on the website and it looks (purely from those videos) that basically everything is there. The got the day/night cycle, the anomolies, some enemies, vehicles, at least 3 weapons that i could see and a decentish AI. What else are they doing?
It doesn't seem that ambitious to me really. It's almost like taking GTA:SA making it bigger, forcing a FPP and giving it a better AI and giving it a change of setting. GTA:SA worked fine, why not STALKER?
Also someone mentioned that the game doesnt look good, but i think it looks more than adequate. You wouldnt expect a game that has 20sq miles (they claim its that innit?) of area to wander around in will look like D3/hl2, unless it was split into small sections just like D3 and HL2. But that would truely suck.
