Developers of the highly anticipated STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl have made available a movie showcasing one of the missions in the game.The trailer is codenamed "The toughest enemy" and is available in a number of different resolutions.
- Low res (10.Mb)
- Medium res (30 Mb)
- High res (60 Mb)
The trailer shows an extract of one of the many variants of mission types from the game. The DX9 renderer is shown in all its beauty (although in the future we will show this functioning in full outdoors and in daytime). Lighting is all dynamic even each blade of grass casts a shadow from any light source.
Combat AI is demonstrated - team actions, accurate reactions from the sounds of characters other beings, accurate reactions from the grenades as well as the AI ability to evade gun-fire and grenades, camping skills as well as ambush and group attack. We also show an example of one of the many types of anomaly that are randomly generated across the zone. This helps the gamer to understand the gameplay opportunities that they are afforded due to the nature of the anomaly, both in terms of detection and avoidance for their own survival, but also such as luring enemies into these energy disturbances for their own destruction., as well as the ultimate function of the anomaly which is to generate artefacts the lifeblood of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The anomaly shown in the trailer is a heat anomaly a whirling area of air tearing everything to bits.
Finally, a note on the blood sequences. As you can see when the characters take a few serious hits they leave a trail of blood. As they attempt to flee from their pursuant this trail allows gamers to track them a note of caution to anyone who thinks they've escaped!
