Q: If possible, I would like to know yours (team STALKER's) opinion of the technologies used in Far Cry. How will STALKER be different?
A: It is very high. Crytek is a professional team that has shown very high quality. It is nice to know that a whole bunch of our compatriots works there. =)

Q: Will characters have developed facial expressions expressions? Will they reflect personality and mood?
A: Yes, they will.

Q: Do you have a build of STALKER in DX9 + Shaders 3.0? Are you going to show some screens? (DX8 + S 3.0)
A: Of course we will. DX9 is already on GameSpot.

Q: Is water done? Are you using shaders 2.0? Is it better than in Far Cry?
A: It's good. =)) It is not up to us to compare. =)

[CptStern]

there are some new screenshots as well (new to me)

screenshots

this one is awesome

 

[Raxxman]

my only worry is the MP

Coop started off as a sure thing. Now they're saying they're having problems.

I can't see this game having good mp if its not Coop

 

[CptStern]

they said at e3 co-op was a definate no

 

[Maxi]

Wow! that was a very long interview! thanks for posting it!


Anyway, this will be my last post untill the 22nd or 23rd. Cya guys then, have fun n' all that.

/me waves.

 

[Raxxman]

yeah that worries me as it will reduce the long term appeal of the game.

Man Coop is like the forgotten child of the PC. during the Doom years every FPS had it. Now you're hard pressed to find it in any game.

Last one I remmeber was Flashpoint. Halo is often touted for its coop mode on the Xbox, about the only major feature not ported. Stalker started off touting coop now they've U turned.

Its pritty crazy as the game modes they're relasing are going head to head with the likes of Unreal, Quake 4 (maybe if its out) Battlefield, Counterstrike, Tribes. And all the super mods of various games.

I'm doubtful that they'll produce a true contender for the mp crown, and that will shorten the length of time the game spends on my HD.

Stalker definitely is shaping up to be a helluva nice game by the looks of it.

my favorite quote

Q: Is it possible to meet an anarmed stalker in the Zone? How will he behave if he is a friend, or foe?
A: Stalker in the Zone, and anarmed, is not a stalker, but some idiot. =)))))))))))))))))

 

[Alzxul]

Lol, classic quote, would be a shame if Stalker didn't have co-op.

 

[CptStern]

they said NO co op ...maybe as an add on later ...but NO co op out of the box. There is a 0% chance of Stalker having co-op when it goes on sale...zilch, nada, nothing ...NO CO OP ...one more time:

co op = no

 

[CptStern]

NO CO-OP!








...just in case you were thinking of asking

 

[Dr. Freeman]

so its looking better than those new videos released recently? hmm...
because the opinions were very mixed on Stalker than.

 

[Alig]

Damn, that interview is long...im only about 33% through it but i couldnt help but check the pictures...

Has someone been taking pictures of my back garden again or is this really in-game footage... :E

Possibly better water than farcry boasts...man this game is looking f'ucking uber cool :E

 

[Foxtrot]

The game looks good, I just hope it isn't another Far Cry.
OMFG WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SITE!!!!!!

 

[Alig]

Ive finally finished reading it all (after a half time break - watching My Familiy <---teh r0x!) and if they pull this off smoothly and it all plays as well as they say this game could very well be that game we have all always wanted...it offers massive exploration, free roam, massive landscapes, very nice engine and possibly the most in depth gameplay EVER!...

I can remember when i was little and i said to my m8 "I cant wait for a game where i can do what i want to do and go anywhere - almost real life" and this promises that (we'll have to see) and if it pulls it off this could be the best game ever (single player-wise)
