    Seconded. I have enjoyed all of the previous Stalkers including the Lost Alpha.

    Could not finish Lost Alpha due huge bugs. Been stuck with 'Mole" couple of times so i gived up.

    Misery 2.0 CoP was simply the best.

    Bring it on! Hopefully it'll be developed and produced by the very same team that brought us the original and fantastic original Stalker series...

    Looks like this is true!

    Spoke-person for GSC Valentine Yeltyshev has confirmed this.

    The name of the project is still unknown.

    I only hope they dont try to make the game more "accesible" to new players. New players I dont have a problem with, it game mechanics that get watered down and completly ruin what made game X, game X in the first place.

    I still play with SoC and with the right enb its one of the best looking games availble.

    That shouldn't be the case:

    Btw, you don't play Stalker because of graphics.

    Dunno, I quite like the graphics on the STALKER games, they are pretty unique

    I was actually around the 16 to 21 age category back when the first Stalker released and still liked it immensely.

    Graphics: yes and no.

    It doesn't require the details of like Crysis, but it does require "graphics" in a certain direction of art for its atmosphere.

    That wasn't GSC's stance when they were previewing and marketing the game.

    There were just as many, if not more, previews and articles discussing the graphics engine, it's capabilities and features before the game came out as there were articles talking about the game world or play style.


    Personally, the art and world were great.
    Until the patch that disabled grass shadows. Because they looked great.

    But, the one short coming (visually) of STALKER... human characters. They were very mus-proportioned.
    And the animations on them was far from great.

    What unique about Stalker is atmosphere. Its literally like you are there. Compare that to FC4 and your get childish crap.

    In Stalker almost everything is unique. That's matter of design.

    Compared to todays games Stalker technically is inferior. But still to this day nobody has done more immersive world where you have a feeling like you are inside.

    That's why this game is unique. There's nothing like it.

    That was in 2003-4 when X-Ray was the most advanced engine.

    And actually the biggest visual shortcoming in Stalker series is foliage. CoP for example would look much better with better grass and bushes. This is the only thing that didn't changed - redesigned.

    Yup.

    LURK mod also cam with better grass textures. Beefed up the "overall" look of the game immensely.

    played the first release of Lost Alpha ,not the latest update
    -felt like home

    felt that even in a mostly void world the game just felt right.

    controls work on kb-mouse

    felt as if the game felt me being there and reacting to me , not like most ports we get today.
    want to jump on something , the right moves you could do it by the moves not that it was allowed or not = open world

    I hope if they do make another game where they can capture that past one of a kind sense of belonging .

    -many of the labs were great but going back into the red forest always made the hairs on my neck stand up in cs
