S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Delayed Until September 5, Now Gone Gold

"I said come in Stalker, don't stand there. I said come in Stalker. I said come in Stalker"

"Get out of here Stalker" "Get out of here Stalker"

u guys think the new eyecandy can be disabled? cuz the previus stalker ran fine on medium for me .. i'm getting this game but don't really want to get a new rig just jet..

I LOVED the original. I bought it, played for 15 minutes or so and hated it. Went back 2 months later and fell in love. Played it through about 6 times. I NEVER do that with games either.

My most looked forward to game of the moment, behind DNF. Which almost doesn't count, nebulous as it seems.

The original Stalker was flawed brilliance, but it had more than enough good stuff for me to look past the faults... The atmosphere it had by the big rusty bucketload counterbalanced all of the immersion nagging problem.

I just GSC take note of what the mod community did with the first Stalker. After playing it with mods, and especially the mod Alive, which introduces territory battles and group migration (in a much more intelligent way than any of the others) I wish I'd never played the vanilla version first.

How the original got out the door with so many glitches and so much development time behind it is beyond me, ambitious as it is, so I'm not too faithful of Clear Sky having the polish the original lacked. We'll see.

Won't be buying this sight unseen this time. I'll wait to hear if it's finished and (relatively) bug free.

I'm playing through the first one again with some mods.

I'm using:

-Sharper Textures http://forum.v5g.de/showthread.php?t=10034

-Improved skies http://stalker.filefront.com/file/STALKER_Skies;80755

-Flashlight extender http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Flashlight_Range_Mod;78115

-Traders repair weapons/armor http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Repair_Mod_Rus_Eng_Ger;78100

I tried using the "Increased weight limit" mod but that one seemed to break quick saves so I had to take it out.

"Gone Gold" and "Delay" tag on the same page; I'm half-expecting something like a chemical reaction.

ARGH~! I had scheduled time off from work for this.

How does this interact with the original - if at all?

looks good, will definitely try it

original STALKER was fun too, although I only played it for abour an hour or two total - first time I died after a 15 minute firefight and was reminded I didn't save for half an hour, when I retried the game crashed with a BSoD =(

My most anticipated game, with Left 4 Dead a very close second. Bring on the frights!

All you guys replaying STALKER in anticipation should really try out the Oblivion Lost mod. Night is so dark and scary, but it really feels right. And the Trader mod allows you to buy any weapon as long as you have the money. It makes the game go much quicker but doesn't unbalance it. This game scares the crap out of me still.

If its any thing like the first this will be a massive hit as stalker was a great fps.

This looks fucking great, come on September 5th!

First 25 minutes of Stalker Clear Sky (duh, contains semi-spoilers)

The screens still look like a tech demo, its like it's not even a game. Stalker played very weird, it was an ok game but still, I have a love hate relationship with this game :D

I really enjoyed the first Stalker hopefully 90% of people won't be crying so much about how this one looks like.I can't wait another kickass Stalker game!!

I can wait another week for this game, especially on Steam.

So very excited.

Oh well, more time to scavage the current zone.
