It’s competition included Spore (PC), Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC), Dead Space (PS3, Xbox 360), and Bioshock (Ps3, Xbox 360, and PC). Stalker: Clear Sky was released in the United states on September 5th, 2008. Nothing like good lighting to point out how terrifying… this… thing is. All of this was employed by the developers to really bring the Zone to life– and make things more creepy. It also provides weather, water effects, and a day and night cycle. GSC created and used the X Ray 1.5 engine and as a result it has really dynamic lighting which is great for a survival horror shooter. I haven’t seen the movie or read the story but Stalker seems like a very loose adaptation but taken in a very interesting direction. They all share certain traits in common, the existence of a Zone, with peculiar things in it, men who will do what they need to get these things, and something that grants wishes. Which in turn is based on a short story called Roadside Picnic, which was published in 1972. The Stalker series of games are based on a Movie from 1979 simply called Stalker. After trying to port Stalker to the Xbox and PS3 they scrapped that and tried to make Stalker 2 but that project was also scrapped. It took them seven years to finish Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl but it only took them a year to make Stalker: Clear Sky– I guess making a game engine really takes a lot out of you. The Stalker games were developed by GSC Game World, a critically undermanned and underfunded game studio. Then this old man starts asking you a lot of questions like, “Why aren’t you incredibly dead?” Scar survives the Blowout, despite being completely unprotected. The sky brightens and the earth begins to tremble, The Zone suffers another Blowout. In 2011 you play as Scar, a mercenary stalker (Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, and/or Robber), escorting some scientists into The Zone. In 2007 enterprising mercenaries and hunters enter this Alienation Zone in order to find objects of worth. The Zone expands in size by 5 kilometers. In 2006 the military quarantine around The Zone is utterly destroyed, the sky blazes with bright light and the earth quakes as a wave of energy explodes through the Zone, this is known as an Emission or a Blowout. In 2001 a bus filled with tourists goes missing and The Zone is sealed off “completely”. In 1991 the Soviet Union collapses but the experiments continue. The subsequent evacuation and creation of the Alienation Zone is the perfect cover up for more secret experiments. This was actually caused by secret experiments drawing too much power from the reactor. In 1986 on April 26th around 1:23 in the morning reactor four of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant explodes.
