Last I heard of this game the devs were taking stuff out of it. Not a good sign. I was eagerly expecting this game for a few years now, I hope it lives up to it's potential.

 

[Reddog]

It won't, they've cut back nearly all the innovative sounding elements and linearised the story and world.

 

[Arto1990]

no they have only took sleeping and vehicles out, the main story mission are linear, but i dont think side ones are

Animations ****, AI seems to ****, it's run and gun. I don't think it's worth buying it imo.

Played it at GC 06, was nice, but honestly not the game i expected.

 

[Paajtor]

looks creepy enough to me.

 

[Bluehawk]

Wow, the GUI is all D&D lol.

 

[Grobut]

I have my doubts, it may yet suprice me and be a good game, but the more i hear, the less it sounds like the awesome game i invisioned when i first heard about it and its features and plot.

I'll be following the reviews with great intrest though..

Why are all the guns so short and stubby in the screenshots?

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

This game is good enough for me to poop on.

I never followed this game if you couldn't tell, too much hubb bubb around it and no delivery...meh

 

[Moz]

It's like DNF but with screenshots.

argh.

Why are all the guns so short and stubby in the screenshots?

No kidding. Plus, it's got Counter-Strikeitis:

AK74 and what looks to be a Krinkov: Selector and bolt handle/ejection port on wrong side in first person view, but the 74's correct when looking at another person who's holding one. Krinkov sights look wrong to me. Shouldn't it use a standard AK47 rear sight?

MP5: Ignoring the question of "WTF is a Russian doing with an MP5 instead of a Russian SMG," charging handle is correct side, but the ejection port is on the left side again... WTF!?

Makarov (I think): Again... ejection port on the LEFT. Gawd, these people ever seen a gun before?!

Knife: I'm nit-picking, but it's a bayonet. Sure, you can use it as a knife, but call a bayonet a bayonet, eh?

The issue with the guns was brought up nearly two years ago and they officially scoffed at it and said it was a trivial issue.

Arto they have only officially said they've taken out eating and sleeping, however if you read a few of the interviews with the new project lead they brought in to get the game finished you can read between the lines that a lot more has been cut.

I give it a slight chance of being good but am not holding my breath.

Also I love how their confirmed release date is "quarter 1 2007", I bet it gets delayed again.

 

[Arto1990]

the realese for america is 22nd of march and 23rd for europe, and about the cuts, o well, im too tired to write about it

 

[Skew]

I remain fairly optimistic. While the weapons and that might put people off, the entire idea of this game is very appealing to me, and I'm looking forward to see some more gaming footage and read what people thought of the game.

After reading some more into Stalker I've lost all hope that this is going to be the ground breaking game it once was. There could be some interesting mods for this game with the AI system. If that's even still in.
