dai oh non fatemi venire troppo hype che se poi lo rimandano ancora mi concio come quelli che aspettavano hl2 da 1 anno e mezzo
Sì, solo Half Life 2 può reggere tecnicamente con STALKER....Parlo di fisica e grafica, ma soprattutto di realismo grafico.
La parte RPG sarà stile Deus Ex?
da quel che ho letto sembra che la quest principale possa finire non grazie a noi, ma grazie agli altri stalker ... se è vero è una cosa notevole..
Sì, ricordo sull'anteprima di TGM (la stessa in cui dicevano dei requisiti minimi).
Gli altri STALKER non saranno NPC a mò di Morrowind, ma avranno davvero una vita propria, si muoveranno per il mondo, faranno quest e aiuteranno/metteranno il bastone tra le ruote allo STALKER impersonato dal giocatore.

Sì esatto proprio quella..
beelo 
Ma che fiko!
La cosa che ho sempre criticato in tutti gli RPG èm proprio il fatto che gli NPC son feeeermi per giorni ad aspettarti

Posto un Q&A recente con gli sviluppatori:

r)Release date: May 2005. We are not talking about demo yet. Beta testing is the upcoming code-sharing with public
d)What about support for mods? will a map editor or sdk released with Stalker?
r)We are preparing an SDK for mod-makers to include Level Editor, Actor Editor and some other tools to make a full-fledged package for mod creation. It will be released either simultaneously with the game or shortly afterwards
d)MOD question: both - singleplayer and multiplayer mods will be possible?
r)yes, both sinlge and multiplayer
d)Will the DirectX 8 engine take advantage of DirectX8 shader effects. For example, bump mapping?

r)The source will be given as a whole.

r)lots of these - duels against AI stalkers. I was after an artefact, but it appeared to be up in the skies raised by anomaly - no way to get it
d)will the game continue after finishing the main quest?
r)It`s a secret.

d)How long does a 24 h day in STALKER takes in reality time?
r)In reality it is 2,5 houres.
d)As publisher in ex-USSR, we'll probably release both. As for worldwide, THQ are best to answer

d)Multiplayer Related: In terms of playability (skill involved, years to master ), with wich game would u compare STALKER, CSS?

d)There has been some doubt regarding whether or not a player will be able to go prone in the game. Can we please have a final answer: To prone, or not to prone?
r)Stalker can crouch, almost like prone.
d)How long u work on the game yet.
r)the works on the engine started in late 2000. Stalker - early 2002
d)I read, that realism is the most important aspect of the game that you want to accomplish. Is STALKER still making fun to play? Or is it too realistic (e.g. vast outdoor areas/no action)?
r)r)We have fun playing STALKER. We try to achieve a golden mean between action and realism.
d)Especially over the last 12 months, Stalker has gained a lot of popularity. Though, to quote PC Powerplay Australia, it is an ambituos project. At a glance, the game seems to combine all the best aspects of Half Life and Deus Ex. Do you think Stalker will meet up to expectations (or possible even exceed them)?
r)r)We think it will.
d)Take two. Will be entire lighting computed dynamically each frame or with use of lightmaps in same time? Will game engine use 3d textures? If so how?
r)In DX8 we combine lightmaps with dinamic lights from dynamic light sources. In DX9 lights are dynamic. The game uses bumpmapping, also in DX9.
d)How is the "sleeping" takes place in the game? Will the screen just blacks-out for few seconds or what?
r)Yes, the screen turns black and time goes fast in your sleep. If someone approaches the player, he will wake up and have to deal with the situation.

r)on average, it will take about 30 minutes and up to cross one level - they are huge

r)it's of course possible to do it technically now - no decision yet whether to leave the possibility to the player
d)how many poly's is the average creature/character in the game? do they have complex mouth morphing abilities?
r)There is about 7500 poligons average. DOOM III uses morphing, we use bones."
Che dire, se mantengono le promesse gioco dell'anno 2005.
