Aflaţi probabil în vacanţă pe sau prin Hermosa Beach, că nu ştiu dacă o fi o plajă, ori o localitate, Koch Media ne oferă câteva detalii noi despre S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, mult aşteptatul sequel care-i pe post de prequel al lui Shadow of Cernobyl, excelentul FPS îmbibat cu elemente de RPG al GSC GameWorld.   

    În joc vom intra în costumaşul lui Scar, un stalker mercenar care se luptă prin Zonă cu stalkeri aparţinînd altor grupări. Zona este un adevărat teatru de război, unde diferitele facţiuni luptă pentru marcarea teritoriului, artefacte şi energie, iar noi va trebui să ne hotărîm cu cine votăm acolo. Sigur că Zona colcăie de mutanţi care îşi vor vârî coada în lupte, fără să le pese pe cine atacă.

    A.I.-ul se anunţă mai bun decât în prima parte, iar lumea jocului pare mai vastă. În Clear Sky nu vom mai fi per pedes, ca badea Cârţan, ci vom putea călători mai rapid. Ne vom mai putea modifica armele şi costumele. Engine-ul grafic îmbunătăţit va creşte niţel calitatea grafică, prin efecte meteo în timp real şi un ciclu dinamic zi/noapte. În multiplayer se vor putea măsura 32 jucători online şi în LAN. Cu rezerva că tot ce v-am spus mai sus sunt texte de PR de la Koch Media, vă amintesc că S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky va apărea la sfârşitul lunii august pe PC.

Comunicatul de presă
    Hermosa Beach- Jun 26, 2008 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was one of the best-selling first-person shooters of 2007. In late August 2008, the Ukrainian developers from GSC Game World and the publisher Deep Silver will invite gamers to join them on a new foray into the nuclear zone: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky is set one year before the events of part 1 - at a time when the Zone is changed forever by a huge anomalous eruption of energy. 

    War of factions
In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, the player assumes the role of Scar, a mercenary s.t.a.l.k.e.r. In a unique mixture of first-person shooter and complex role- playing game, Scar fights for survival within the Zone and its hostile sectors. The new Zone territories are explored by s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s scattered in groups - and these individual factions soon engage in relentless battle. As a mercenary, Scar quickly finds himself in the middle of a war of factions over territory, artifacts, and power. It is up to the player to find out on whose side Scar has the greatest chance of prevailing. 

    Clever adversaries, luscious graphics
Just like its predecessor, Clear Sky perfectly captures the sinister atmosphere within the death Zone. DirectX 10 support enables spectacular graphics, including dynamic transitions between day and night with absolutely realistic light effects, as well as very detailed landscapes and lifelike animations. At the same time, the developers saw to it that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky also works with DirectX 8 and DirectX 9.

Special attention was given to realistic, independent thinking and actions of the NPCs. The artificial intelligence from the predecessor game was strongly improved, so that foes and allies now make their own situation-based decisions that impact the further course of the game. For instance, the outcome of battles is not predetermined. Only in the last few levels is the player guided towards a given end of thestory, which leads to the events described in Shadow of Chernobyl.
