Konsek posted:I need to get round to watching the film. I personally think a much more empty zone would make for a better game, allow for much more deadly and resource consuming firefights and that sort of thing as well as encouraging devs to individualise as many of the stalkers as possible. Striking a balance between the book and the game would be great. But yeah in the book there are very few stalkers as while it attracts the same treasure seekers the zone of the book also is seemingly far more insidious and deadly. Granted this may just be how the game translates its lore into gameplay mechanics (like not all anomalies being certain death) but when i read roadside i always got a very very sinister vibe from everything, as if there were a vibrant colour to everything that drew you in and mangled you in new exciting way. I really really need to reread that book soon.

I remember you get really really close to something identical to Duga 3 in Clear Sky in the final town just before the hospital, its right next to a construction site so you can get a good look but it feels very badly placed, its meant to be an awesome giant landmark but its just sort of shunted off the side.

Loving that emission change where it knocks out electronics and lasts longer, always love when basic things like that and expanded upon in new interesting ways that also manage to make sense in game/mechanically.

I feel that the much tighter smaller and restricted maps that are divided up into very distinct sections helps give ShoC its feeling, every area has some new fantastical horror and obstacle to overcome and can let you stray off the beaten path very quick. While you can walk off in any direction you please in CoP you generally wont stumble across any interesting terrain to navigate given all the anomalies got clustered up into the named areas. Compare that to say getting to the garbage at night and having a shootout with bandits and then making your way to agroprom and THEN discovering the underground underneath it all as well as all these small side areas that you might miss like the hills near the rail tunnel which have dogs and artifacts hiding in them. I guess not letting you get overly familiar with an area too quickly helps a lot, also significant terrain variance like the maze of the wilds between Yantar and bar, extreme exposure of the dark valley etc.

That new Oblivion lost sounds interesting but it mentions that it cranks the detail up so im guessing it wont run all that well on lovely ancient computers like mine?

Ddraig posted:Call of Pripyat has a few ambitious mods. The one I'd recommend people try right now is the "Sky Anomaly" mod that I just linked. That sounds fantastic and what ive been wanting out of the stalker series since forever, the existing anomalies are cool but like roadside picnic showed the potential for these amazing impossible things is just so much more.

I dont understand the need to mod cars back into stalker when the maps are so small that they dont really work and gently caress over the sense of scale and distance when used.

Ddraig posted:Force of habit I guess, but yeah lost alpha is a standalone. As for COP mods ap-pro.ru is a good resource. I'd highly recommend Sky Anomaly. It's ARS with new anomalies added that are loving amazing. It's one of those cases where someone is incredibly good at doing one thing and doing it well. Makes me wish i could read Cyrillic because ive always wanted more fantastical anomalies with abstract properties and the like.

Gobblecoque posted:I'm with you, I love the crazy poo poo that goes on in SoC and really miss it whenever I play CoP. Yeah while i get irked about the silly borders you get there, SoCs more linear maps had some better design elements i feel contributed to these moments more just because there was more claustrophobic feel to things that forced certain movements in smaller spaces compared to CoP where you have vast open spaces for the majority of the game. I liked that feeling of freedom you go in CoP and it fit the zone well especially when giving up that freedom to go into the indoor/underground spaces but it definately made us lose out on thigs like hiding in the upper reaches of wild territory as mercs shoot at a lone bloodsucker tearing them to bits.

GSC Gameworld has reformed in some form, still has all the STALKER 2 materials, and is working on a new "old-fashioned, full price game". They also talk about STALKER 2 development, and why it got cancelled in the first place. Woah now that is unexpected, i love that the west game idiots were working on a browser version of stalker.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:I thought the vanilla Jupiter plant was a nice return to SoC-type loneliness in CoP's overpopulated maps; a hulking empty nothing just itching to get you turned around and trapped in a blowout. Yeah Jupiter in the original CoP is probably my favourite location along with the vines in Pripyat for that exact reason. I only wish it was a little harder to navigate anomaly wise with more indoor traps and a sort of jungle gym approach to getting around, like the sarcophagus in SoC but with more than just the teleports.

Dvsilverwing posted:Maybe it's just me, but I always enjoyed being in these "empty" places and suddenly spotting a few stalkers or bandits sitting around a campfire or something like that. I guess I enjoy the idea of the Zone being a little more populated than it realistically would or should be. Running long stretches and not seeing any human AI has always seemed a little boring to me I suppose. I think it comes down to most of the gameplay mechanics come down to interactions with the AI in various ways so with no AI you only have the zone, and while the zone is always this omnipresent threat its also one of the most trivial unless you heavily mod the game so you actually fear radiation and anomalies. Exploring is fun but especially in CoP there can be very little to see and its almost themepark style design concentrates most interesting stuff in small clumps.
