Stalker early build released for free
« on: March 05, 2009, 01:43:29 pm »
GSC Game World have released  2004 build of their game Stalker for free on their FTP site. This is noteworthy most because it is a much bigger and more free roaming game than was originally released - albeit incomplete and buggy. Check it out though, well worth it! http://gsc-game.com/index.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr&thm_page=1&thm_id=17037&sec_id=16&offset=0

So why check this out? The FAQ explains what's cool:
The build contains a set of features that did not make it into the final release. There is a fairly nice static lighting renderer, several locations not present in the release, a fully functional A-Life system, and some cut monsters, transportation, and many other things. The build is unstable and will not replace the final game, but it is definitely worth taking a look at.

Just you wait till the modders finish it themselves.

Diamonds are combustable, because they are made of Carbon.

I'm tagging this so I may eventually find this thread again in the future once the above poster's prediction comes true.

Everything is free, but what varies is legality. :p

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

A man once said to me, "If you want superpowers, all you have to do is take acid and you'll have any superpower you want." He then asked if I had just, at that moment, shaved half my face; I revealed that as being my superpower. Being suddenly and inexplicably half-shaven.
