IGN has posted a short article about the Russian FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, which concerns itself on the subject of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s animal A.I.<blockquote>Unlike Far Cry, however, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. contains a world full of wildlife, and these creatures are more than just window dressing. In fact, GSC tells us that their behavior is just as important as that of the NPCs and humanoid enemies. Every creature considers its environment, considers you, and considers the situation based on how you're equipped. From there, it decides on the "fight or flight" we hear so much about on the Discovery Channel. GSC says it's reached a point where the game world is living and dynamic, instead of just waiting for you to appear to trigger specific, scripted events. Now, there may still be scripting in the game, but it doesn't sound like it will be on the level of Call of Duty or Half-Life.</blockquote>And remember, "blind dogs adore roaming down valleys and forests."

Thanks Kumquatq3!
 
So they managed to create autonomous entitities. Big deal.

What I'd like to know is whether they actually adopt to your behavior rather than just react to current events.
 
Uh, Russian FPS? I thought these guys were Ukrainians?

(Then again, there're a lot of Russians in Ukraine, but I thought the country of origin counts. Or did you mean that the game is in Russian?)
 
Unlike Ukranians the rest of the world doesn't really understand there's a difference.
 
Hah hah. Well, I'm not Ukrainian... Part Belarussian, maybe, but not Ukrainian...
 
Most people I know refer to Ukranians as Russians, but only when no Ukranians or Russians are listening.

I think it's just that the language, history and culture seem identical to most outsiders (or rather, that most people don't know jack about Ukrainia other than that they used to be part of the Soviet Union).

Most people are ignorant about former Soviet countries anyway.
 
Of course I meant that it is in Russian.

*Sigh* Too many news posts, too much else to do, I was rushing.
