Yet another Stalker preview

[Odin]

Yup, you guessed it..There's a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. preview around and this time it's none other than Tom's Hardware guide who's previewing it. Here's a snibblet:<blockquote>Another exciting, but incomplete feature, was that of a broken gun. While playing, occasionally my gun would "break." One of the themes of STALKER's single player campaign is upkeep. Vehicles and equipment get damaged over time and repairing them is one of the elements that is planned to fuel the in-game economy. The demonstrator did not know to what degree this would be incorporated into the multiplayer, but it hints at new unique gameplay possibilities in a multiplayer environment. However, the feature wasn't functioning so he would clear the damage with a console command whenever the problem presented itself.</blockquote>Right..

Right... LMAO, it's always good to showcase a new feature when it doesn't quite work yet..or...

So they just re-invented durability? I thought it had been a common feature in various games (most popularily Diablo and Diablo II) for years?

Not exactly world-changing, more of a footnote.

What's next? It's gonna be never-seen-before for being third person? What more? It uses firearms with PROJECTILES?

Marketing people should lay off the drugs. There's way too much hype around these days.
