Aw damn threading system. OcularDissonance – yes, it’s inspired by Strugacki’s novel. Pretty officially I think.

Finished the main storyline today – it’s great to the very end. Really rights all the series’ wrongs. And not a crash or bug, that’s even more amazing. Yay GSC, finally!

So I never played STALKER all that much but I did see the 1979 movie by Andrei Tartovsky which is one of my favorites. I’ve never seen anyone reference it in any reviews of Shadows of Chernobyl or Clear sky. Can someone tell me if there is a movie link since both the movie and the games contained ideas of the Zone, Dystopian Nuclear landscapes, Psychic trials and uh Soviet Decay it kinda seems obvious. I get why most people don’t know about the movie and why the half that do hate it but this review’s description of the reviewers surreal encounters conjured up images which the movie patterned on my brain but never revealed making me wonder.

You know what made SOC? It was Mooze. His dark ambient soundtrack made that game. I don’t believe he was involved with Clear Sky and it showed.

You mis-spelt “sinning”. Still, as long as they’re enjoying themselves.

I love how the game has some underground sections and settlements inside of shipwrecks made seamlessly without any loaders between them and open part of the map. Leaving the safe interior of ship, walking on the top of it and watching the sunset over the zone while still hearing muffled laughter and dialogues from the inside is most atmospheric thing ever. Accenting the border between the safe places and grim and dangerous world outside is IMO one of Stalker’s biggest achievements.

That is a shame, I enjoyed that part of Clear Sky, going back to original locations and reminiscing over past adventures.

Well I dunno what the tech behind the larger maps actually means for modding, but I’d certainly like to see a zone unification project.

modding in the old terrain might well be possible. Same engine basically?

Nope, CoP is all new terrain. Which is kind of a shame, because if they’d included the original space it’d now be giganto-massive. There’s a mod project, anyway.
