S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Nearly Ready?

24 Nov, 2006, 12:00 pm IST | Avinash Bali | PC

One game that's constantly tottering between Vaporware and "When it's done territory" has been Ukranian developer, GSC Game World's FPS/RPG, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Initially called, Oblivion Lost, this game was to be released in 2003, but somewhere down the line, some of the gooey stuff really hit the fan, and the game's not seen the light of day even after three years.

And now we get word that the game may see the light of day next year as video game site, Gamespot.com got some quality hands-on time with the game in Kiev, Ukraine, and here is what they had to say on the game, "While S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is big on ideas, it currently looks a little dated when compared to its next-generation contemporaries. The protracted development period has clearly been used to polish the A-Life system and branching storyline, and you have to scratch beneath the surface to see these advancements. Thankfully, the game finally looks close to completion, and THQ seems relatively certain that it will see the light of day next year. While S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has more bad endings waiting for its players than it does good, hopefully the game itself will have a happy conclusion after all those years of work."
