STALKER Call of Pripyat review

The STALKER franchise has been somewhat a two edged sword. On one hand, it’s an amazingly atmospheric game and one of the creepiest out there. On the other hand, it’s always been lacking on the technical side, from bugs and glitches, to gameplay issues. Developer GSC GameWorld tries to rectify much of what was wrong with the previous games, and while it does that to some extent, it doesn’t leave room for many new features. In most aspects, it’s still STALKER, it’s still tough and relentless, and the margin for error is very small — but that’s what always made STALKER stand out.

But besides that, STALKER fans won’t be disappointed — Call of Pripyat is still creepy as the other STALKER games. In fact, on the technical side, it might be the most polished STALKER game yet, and while it’s not perfect, the flaws won’t ruin your game like they did before. Read the rest of the review

New STALKER expansion announced

GSG Gameworld, developers of the STALKER games, have announced a new expansion, STALKER: Call of Pripyat. This is the third standalone expansion for STALKER, while the title, Call of Pripyat, is a working title and subject to change.

The game takes place right after the ending of the original game, Shadow of Chernobyl, and will include the Pripyat town, Yanov railway station, Jupiter factory, Kopachi village and more, recreated by their true-to-life prototypes. The game will also feature the new X-ray engine 1.6, which should give overall better visuals than the previous installments.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Expansion, Sequel in Development

GSC Game World is reported to be developing a second stand-alone S.T.A.L.K.E.R. expansion as well as a full-fledged sequel.

This comes from Clanbase and TTLG, both of whom cite the same Russian language interview with studio president Sergey Grigorovitch.

The expansion is subtitled “Call of Pripyat” and is due out later this year. While S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was mentioned, no details were given.

The post-apocalyptic first-person shooter/RPG was released back in 2007, with “Clear Sky”, the expansion prequel, out the next year.

Early STALKER Build Released

In an unprecedented move, GSC Game World has released an early build of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl – which was released back in 2007 – for free, offering fans a peek at cut levels and unfinished features.

The build – dated October 18, 2004 – is called the “xrCore build 1935″ and can be downloaded from this GSC forum thread. As expected, this build is full of bugs but offers a look at the game midway through its development. It offers several unused levels from the final game, including Dead City, Swamp and Generators.

STALKER was first announced in 2001 and was expected out in 2003, but got delayed over the years until its final release in 2007.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Gets Delayed, Goes Gold

While we last heard that we would see S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky August 29th, it was recently announced by publisher Deep Silver that it won’t hit shelves until September 5th, meaning the game has now gone gold.

No reason was given for the delay, but one could suspect that the developers are putting the finishing touches on the game.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is an FPS survival game for the PC, developed by GSC Game world, now expected to hit store shelves September 5th.
