STALKER interview

[ -> Interview]

<a href="http://www.homelanfed.com/">HomeLAND Fed</a> has <a href="http://www.homelanfed.com/index.php?id= ... rviewed</a> Oleg V. Yavorsky about <a href="http://www.stalker-game.com/">STALKER</a>.
 
 <blockquote>HomeLAN - How would you officially classify the gameplay for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Is it a first person shooter? Is it a RPG?
 
 Oleg V. Yavorsky - It's a first person shooter game with many other touches, such as survival factor, item trade, NPC communication, freedom of actions and so on. So that effectively means for successful gaming the player will need to apply a bit more than straightforward shooting-he will sometimes have to be stealthy, frugal about ammunition and food, take care of restoring his energy through sleep, be helpful to dealers to get their friendly attitude and so on.</blockquote>
 
 Nothing new, but it's a (relatively) interesting read.

Pity it's been delayed another 8 months and nobody will give a shit. I think it must have been delayed about 2 years now.

Leak beta please.

There was this alpha which was leaked, the one used for the first physic trailer, like milleniums ago.

it wasn't even alpha, it was a tech demo for making screenshots to post them in the Net.

Yeah leak a beta so everyone can see what a badly optimized POS that engine is. If anyone know of a movie that shows playable fps during action, please link to it here ...

Just dont have the energy to care about this game anymore.

Yeah. The Movies look more than fine. I can't wait until the game comes out.

hehe real mature there ... anyway, look at the movies, look at them and tell me thats playable fps they get during firefights. It could be how the movies are compressed, but if it was, it would run like crap at all times?

Im not saying the fps is shit to annoy anyone, im just saying what i see.

I don't know what you're seeing, but I think the FPS looks decent. You probably watched the first 2 trailers from 2003 or something. The new ones look nice, and the leaked "alpha" or whatever you wanna call it worked more than fine on my computer.

Well mainly i got upset from watching the movies showing off AI and vehicles etc. They had a british narrator explaining everything. But if you got an Alpha build and it ran fine ill take your word for it.

Hmm, weren't the E3 trailers narrated by a russian guy?

They're on the official site. It doesn't matter much though, eh?

There are trailers on 3dGamers, and they look fire during gun fights (he sneaks up and kills 3 dudes in one too, cant really do that when you're lagging...).

Megatron · Post by **Megatron** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 10:19 am

There was a trailer released a while ago where 3 dudes were talking and the player killed them all. But it was all scripted. Then it showed all these monsters and shit running about, but they're the same colour as the terrain so it looks like quake.

Then there's some other bit and it finishes. Overall I thought it looked pretty muddy. The AI wasn't anything too advanced, guards just stood still and kept shooting while monsters just ran/jumped at you.

I'm not really looking forward to the game. It was meant to be released summer 2002 as a sort of unreal 2 shooter with temples and shit. They then decided everything they'd done was shit so started again. September 2003. Several delays later and it's now meant to be March 2005. I'm guessing it'll drag towards the summer.

Mabye they'll do a couple dozen more interviews in the mean-time, since I don't think they've repeated everything yet.

That is very likely.
