except it's linear, not open world.
that's not a bad thing tbh.
A well designed linear game is far better than a linear game ported to an open world.

Oh yeah I completely agree
I'm just awaiting all those posts after launch from people expecting another Stalker due to the graphical similarity and being disappointed.
"Butters, you don't shoot a guy in the dick! That's just weak!"
It's all loking a bit too much like Stalkerfine, nice graphics n all but this isn't the same team behind that dud is it?
It's part of the team that made Stalker but left before it's release for some reason.
I've been following this for a while and it does look to be pretty good, I really like the idea of hudless game play especially in first person, even in the section where you have to wear a gas mask you have to check a watch to see how much time you have left, it really allows you to immerse yourself in the character.
Got it on Pre Order for the PC, can't wait.
Also ordered the book but not sure which to go for first...the book could make the game disappointing and the game could make the book unsurprising.

Thats why im looking forward to this, i couldnt get into stalker. Found the game so aimless, but i really liked its setting/atmosphere.

Looks average from those videos. Doesn't look fun to play and is probably just an exercise to get their proprietary game engine on display so other companies can buy in to it.
Also, when the game/world's 'currency' is ammo/weapons, why are guns/ammo littered all over the place?
Lots of work needed before release I suspect.

It's release is in 2 weeks.
Care to venture as to what elements don't look fun to play exactly?
The same kind of world where radiation has killed all the grass?!
Clearly, the devs have never actually experienced a real post-nuclear holocaust. Noobs

Yeah shame on them, post nuclear environments are 10 a penny round here.

Looks like it fits in the category 'it's all been done before, and better'. Unless they have some pretty special character development and story this will soon be forgotten. It has been 'sold' on what it looks like up 'til now, and from those videos it doesn't look like it has a lot more to offer than any other standard FPS.
Yeah I had to go through Bristol once. Mind you, that third arm has been handy at times...
I dont really agree. Stalker is the only game that comes close in setting, and from watching the gameplay in those vids ive not played anything like it.
Also reguarding the ammount of weapons, the narrator said that there is 2 types of ammo. Homemade stuff that is everywhere then the more scarce pre apocalypse ammo.
But, it remains to be seen if it will be any good.
o hi loved stalker which is why I'm excited aboutt his.
I love the way stalker did it, you're not a super soilder you are not using top of the line gear, if you fire more than 3 rounds at once with your rusty ak you won't hit ****!
I loved how a single shotgun blast at point blank killed you but at distance heavy combat was still survivable and fun.
It's not like other games where you whack the difficulty up and your bullets do less dmg and they get super accurate and get health boosts, it's just balanced around all of you being **** crap and wearing leather jackets
Hoping this game will be like it too
If not it at least looks like the xray engine has been improved a lot and should be a good visual experience even if it's only got average gameplay.
