STALKER Updates.

Release date of 2007? Was meant to be out around the same time as hl2 in late 2004, love how devs manage to sneak in over 2 years of extra time and still end up cutting features. :rolleyes:
 
This game looked impressive 2 years ago, but now, i am not so impressed, they really did lose a lot of their fanbase I think by taking so bloody long to release it.
 
They have cut things out, but the life system is still there I hope.

gfx look okay, better then some of the games im playng atm anyway :)

Looks like it will be a decent shooter for current systems.
 
Sorry to drag this back but I read something recently that made me wonder if this was the idea behind the name "Stalker"

There are a group of scientists who work within the reactor buildings of Chernobyl (not the main bit but the surrounding buildings) they are exposed to very high levels of radiation but must continue to go there in order to monitor the still very hot and very dangerous remains.

These scientists are known as "Stalkers"
 
Sounds viable. The dev team have been to Chernobyl and have done a lot of research on the subject. The stalkers in the game though take on more of a mercenary role due to the controlled zones.
 
I've moaned about the delays, but it's looking lot nicer than the last time I saw it... hope this is worth the wait.

I'm not so fussed about the graphics as I think they look adequate for a realistic FPS, i.e. sharp and clean cut without any pointless bling.

The wait is getting a bit annoying but I don't mind as long as they get it done right. The idea of HL2 mixed with OFP is just too much for words to describe. :eek:

your right there a lot of the forums/fansites have died and the ones that are still up are posted on rarely i am still looking forward to this game as much as any other big title but is it going to be the game we were promised 3 years ago who knows ;).

No - it's very loosely based on the film "Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky, which in turn is very loosely based on the book "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.


As for the "late and still missing features bit", I would guess that the delay has been caused by trying to get said features to work, and then giving up because even after two or three extra years there are still serious problems. Think about what Fable or Oblivion promised and never delivered, and you'll get the idea.
