S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Lost Alpha

This does look good, i always wondered what the modding community would do with the 1935 build that they released.

Moothead - The game is much easier if you find the stalker suit hidden in the starting village

Stops you dying so quickly earlier on.

Ah, Stalker, it's why I love PC gaming

.

I'll give this a go later in the year I think, bit of a backlog to work through atm.

Looks really promising, will have to dig my old copy of STALKER out I loved that game.

D.Roberts · 21 Jul 2011 at 14:22

Ummm I may have to try this when its out

Bump, new video is up showcasing the near finished (at least that's what it looks like to me) product. Will update the OP properly tomorrow.

Pretty big deal as the guy and his team who is making this mod have been contacted by GSC Gameworld (no in trouble) a while back, not sure if they're still in talks now but he's not revealed any specifics; yet...

Does this game/mod support AMD CF?

gronbek · 19 Jan 2012 at 07:48

So is this a merge of the three stalker games into one open world?

no, read the op.

Ignore

In the meantime I think I may mod SOC to Oblivion Lost. The last time I used that mod it was a little buggy for me, and I couldn't progress after loading my save. I hope its had a few improvements made since back then.

Looking forward to this; Stalker 2 may be uncertain or at least delayed, but this is a new game which had been in the works and will reach the fans for sure!

Quick bump guys, Lost Alpha finally has an ETA!

Coming Q3 2012

Nightglow · 28 Feb 2012 at 13:59

Finally, at last, it's been a long time coming.

I have always like Stalker, & been following this mod for some time here.

There are great features being included, I love the hanging lamps, the way they sway & cast shadows around a room, ain't going to do my nerves any good.

But, Q3 is still a long way off, I hope there are no more stumbling blocks.

arc@css · 28 Feb 2012 at 14:06

Good news, and I hope it does actually come out then and indeed before Stalker 2, - which should be very likely.

Arc did you ever end up trying that People Soup mod?

I did start digging around trying to find a download link but had no joy. I haven't given up on it though, too much of a great mod by all accounts to forget it. I'm playing Morrowind with the graphics and sound overhaul mod atm, so won't be looking at it again until after that (should be on my next to play though). Have you tried it?

Btw..did you sort out your Stalker problems, does it still crash etc?

Scythian · 28 Feb 2012 at 15:57

Seeing this has made me want to pick up the game (although I've never played a stalker game before, but loved Fallout 3 which is the closest thing I can think of). Out of all 3 which one is worth purchasing the most?

Also, I can't access mods from here due to filters

What does the Complete Mod do?

The complete mod removes most of the bugs, improves the a.i. and visuals / sounds etc while making sure not to change the storyline or game play. I would purchase Shadow of Chernobyl first, Clear Sky second and Call of Pripyat last of all. The games are dirt cheap now, so it (Shadow of Chernobyl), will probably cost next to nothing (£5.54 including shipping from coolshop - though it may be even cheaper elsewhere, Steam sale at a later date etc).

While the screenshots do look good.

I will be giving this one a miss, I don't feel at all like re-installing any of the games, as I am done with them. The last game, was far too long winded and the plot was rubbish.

Montala · 28 Feb 2012 at 16:25

This does all looks rather good, but could I ask which one was the actual 'original S.T.A.L.K.E.R game? I assume it was Shadow of Chernobyl, but I have also found Clear Sky and Call of Pripya mentioned.

Is it better to play the Shadow of Chernobyl first, in preparation for this new release... and can it be downloaded (or purchased) anywhere than via Steam?

Sorry, if it's a silly question, but I am not an avid follower of this series!

Edit: I would rather purchase a DVD, rather than try and download a full game, as my speed is less that 1 Mb/s !
