S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is definitely back

[Brother None]

Looks like it's time to stop calling S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vapourware. The website has been overhauled and offers some new screenshots. Multiple previews have surfaced, links below.

Link: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. preview on GameSpot.
Link: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. preview on IGN.

All spotted on Blue's News.

I really want it to be good, but you can never trust previews. They'll never mention anything negative. Piss poor performance, glitches, crashing, broken quests, all are missing until weeks after release when they'll finally admit something sucks.

Aye. As a semi-vapourware project, chances are stalker will come out half-arsed. Not to mention most good features were removed.

So I'm just hoping for a good shooter with an excellent setting and atmosphere at this point. Kind of like Bioshock, but less so.

For all the spaniards (like me), there is a spanish Stalker preview:

Looks like soooo good!! I can't wait!

Hope it's true...

Is this the game that's been coming soon for like 4 years?

Not, that's wrong, and we already reported on the release date

Great!

I think I will get Stalker right after I played through Duke Nukem Forever.

I think I can still remember when I was excited about this game.

Oh, man, a priceless quote from IGN:

We're reminded most of Oblivion when playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R., an astonishing feat considering that at its core this is still a first person shooter.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. could be like "teh nu F3"? Oblivion with Guns?

The reaction to oblivion aka stalker will probably have an inpact on the development of fo3

Okay, so who's got the Beta keys?

On www.oblivion-lost.de, in the news section there are plenty of links to portals, which organize competions with the beta keys to win. Unfortunately in most cases for registered users only.
