I just realised that I had forgotten to look out for Stalker newsbits lately, but fear not my PA loving ones because I've started again. Erm...Well let's get down to it, ToTheGame recently had a small interview with Oleg Yavorsky (Senior PR Manager of GSC) and there are some interesting bits:<blockquote>Q: The zone is a living and breathing world with all types of inhabitants. Can we expect the zone to change during game play i.e. Structural damage, rain, snow, radioactive damage etc?
A: There is a phenomenon in the game we call blowout of anomalous energy. It happens regularly, approximately once a week of the gaming time, off the center of the Chernobyl zone to change the face of the area. After each blowout the location of anomalies change, so as new artifacts get generated to basically make the Zone an unexplored area again. It’s extremely dangerous to remain outdoors at the time of blowout and every creature tries to find a hiding place.
On top of anomalies changing, we’ve got dynamic time and weather system constantly functioning in the game. So, along with sunrises and sunsets the player will experience rain, fog, wind and more.</blockquote>There's also a movie clip of Stalker at IGN, which shows the demo that was shown at the E3.
