Coverage on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. prequel Clear Sky has started with a bang. In the few days since the game was announced, there have been three sets of screenshots released, a first impression of the game in German, and a gameplay video also in German.
Perhaps most interesting is the video of the E3 demo of the game at GameStar.de, which is narrated in German. Forum member lisac2k has kindly provided us with a partial translation:
<blockquote>[... It is the entrance to a former hospital [level]...]
[... Our fellows gotta problem here, a sniper on the other end of the building...]
[... Improved graphics, textures and the models. Also particles look awesome...]
[... Now we have to go over this bridge, which is of course, hardly defended. In this E3 DEMO version the action play has been emphasized, as you can see it on the screen. The elements like inventory and similar are not there. We're fighting our way through the building step-by-step, clearing the way for the team, making it possible to advance further. The sniper is only a small pest, there's more problems in the building which can be solved only by playing within the team. They [the team] are the only one, who can make a hole in the wall and drop down the grenade, thus creating us the new path to continue.]
[...(Closing comment) How the story continues, how your equipment and weapons can be improved, what's the purpose of the vehicles in the game and what multi-player modes can be expected - you can find more about it at Gamestar and, eventually, the next year, when the game is about to be published.] </blockquote>In addition to this video, Oblivion-Lost also has an additional four new screenshots of the game.
