S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
 

Meh, looks ok..

Looks pretty nice ed:

its a cross between doom3 and farcry, with abit of MGS and hl2.

Yeah, i've been following this game for a few months now.

It could potentially turn out to be an AMAZING game, it could however also turn out to be shitty.

Its basically an RPG with guns. you can go anywhere in the map looking for objects and shit. You can team up with other stalkers to looks for stuff, you can trade equipment and buy shit. You can sell the stuff you find. All the NPC's have a rotation they follow. They sleep and do certain things. The animals hunt and kill each other, the human Npc will find cover and use it to their advantage.

This game could be awesome. Hopefully it will be.

I can just see it now.... i got my shovel, digging through the ashes and then all of a sudden i hear a gunshot and see a guard falling off his post...then the alarm rangs out, they see a black guy with a shovel looking "suspicious" and all run towards me with weapons drawn. Well if nothing else, atleast the AI, they have down to a tee

Game looks tight' though. Still reading the overview & features

I've been keeping track of it for a while.

Do you think its gonna be rated M?

Im still more excited about Pariah, though...

Yikes calm down, this forum is for younger dudes too, sometimes with strict parents. You were young once, non?

I BET you will ALL be playing this game when its out. I too have been keeping an eye on it for ages now (in fact I think Gerv posted the 1st topic on it a year or so back, saying how good it looked)
Check out some videos of it, multiplayer could be wicked fun with its HUGE maps. I'll defo be buying it, that site is nicely designed too...

"S.T.A.L.K.E.R. delayed until May 2005 - 29/10/2004
GSC Game World would like to officially announce that the release of their highly anticipated first-person/survival game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Shadow of Chernobyl, will be delayed to allow more time to polish the code."

Lil longer left to go now, I think this game has got the potential to be one of the best FPS's in years, mark my wordzzzzzzzzzzz dance:

Real day and night cycles, vehicles, weird creatures and weather effects, this was always #2 after HL2 for me. *wees himself*

can't wait, looks sweet

I didn't read all of the site but what is the point of this game?


That gun posted, looks great.

The world of the Zone is a huge derelict territory of half-ruined buildings unruffled for 20 years, woodlands and anomalous greenery. The Zone world features neglected underground and ground laboratories, dead military bases and proving grounds for new technologies. Radioactive land is covered with ulcers of scorched earth, poisonous fogs, deadly gravitational anomalies. This is the world of a disastrous industrial and ecological catastrophe. And in the hub of this man-caused hell the wreckage of Chernobyl atomic facility rests.

We create the Zone based on reconstruction of Chernobyl atomic power plant and the 30-kilometer zone around it. Players, while progressing through the game, will see the Dead Forest, cities of Pripyat' and Chernobyl, sneak inside the Chernobyl atomic facility sarcophagus, go through the memorable areas, really existing in the epicentre of the tragedy to have occurred some 16 years ago.

We do our best to reproduce the atmosphere of industrial and ecological catastrophe of Chernobyl in detail, so, undeniably, all the zone sights will be easily recognizable. Photos and video materials acquired during our trip to Chernobyl provide ample of information to meet this very purpose, ensuring the textures and architecture are of utmost realism.

okay but what is your objective? what are you trying to do?

There are several factions you can do missions for, each one having their own mini plot line.

If nothing else, the setting is pretty cool.

to me, stalker is one of those games where you wish you could meet face to face with the modeller and tell him he needs to work on certain things.

and i mean a lot of things. first off, i have seen videos and screenshots of this game since it first was announced. the player's foot looks like shit. what are wearing? kleenex boxes on their feet? also the characters look so damn unbelievable. they have a damn tank on this back? wtf?

playease model things after real life equipment and keep your fantasy shit out of good games like this.

anyways, that's what i'd say to the modeller and concept artist of the characters.
the reason i'm so upset is because this is like the perfect game, and it's got the biggest and most common problem. and that's modellers who dont know what size their leg is compared to their foot. they need to take anatomy class or something.

a fucking foot? cry about it

I think the modellers did a damn good job.

yes, maybe i'm one of the guys who just cant stand shitty models. but the foot stands out very much to me. it looks like a fucking spongecake attacked to their leg ok?

how the hell else am i gonna not be distracted by that?

I just watched a few videos and I love the fact that most things aren't scripted and they are random. I also love how you can make enemies and freinds and trade with people. The shadows are amazing also. I definately plan on getting this.

I've been following this too. It has the potential to be really good, but it'll probably end up being a steaming pile of doggy-doo. spank:

When do they actually plan on releasing it?

May 2005

Im still trying to figure out wtf they were thinking while designing some of these weapons. It looks like an M4, yet the ejection port and forward assist are on the wrong side. The front handgaurds dont exsist, somewhat of a mix of an m203 guard and a m4. The stock and the sights look like complete crap.

Im still predicting this game will flop as i have done every time a thread about it has popped up. A few of the videos i've seen have also left me less than impressed with the AI, those however where some old videos. Not a game i will be buying on the release day, that is for certain.

Just another example... It looks like the team took a note from CS, and BFV, and fucked up all there weapons.

misc go kill some developers if you want it the right way...its for the looks.. oOo:

what look?

the look of a crappily made weapons model?

if they're going for that, then fine i guess. beer:

looks ok ... those gun models do look a lot like shit. game play is most important to me so if its fun to play wtfever

That modded m4 is an actual gun in real life, when i showed pics like that over a year ago ballistic wookie linked to a site showing a real life version of that gun.

It like the LR2000 or something, but the ejection port and everything is on the wrong side still.

Meh, just for eyecandy basically, everyone loves to see casings go flying biggrin:

that shit looks unreal, to bad the requirments drown out alot of people

I've noticed that in quite a few games now actually, Counter-Strike Source being the most recent.

you know the funny thing is. People like us download the games illegally without buying it, then we play them for several hours. Finish it. Then we go on the forums complaining how shitty the model and graphics are etc was. Then we send a complaint to the developers who then take this into account, spend their time improving on it for a patch. Lmao.

What would be Too Cool would be if they pulled a RTCW:ET and released the game free

eek:

it looks like it could be awesome, i'm loving the scenery and the setting it looks like they spent alot of time on the scenery. The guns however could be improved. I prefer alot of realism and as the ejection port is on the wrong side thats a big drawback.

I hope the gameplay makes up for the few mistakes, then i'll definately buy it.

Its always been that way for cs, originally the guy that made the models made them left hand positioned because he was left handed, the models were then mirrored for right handers, so the ejection port got flipped.
