Well, Tycho isn't the only UO staffer here that's caught up in the out-of-nowhere phenomenon of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I just recently found this at ToTheGame. It's an interview with Oleg Yavorsky, Senior PR Manager of GSC. These awesome Ukrainian developers have some really cool things up their sleeve. Here's a clip:

Q: The zone is a living and breathing world with all types of inhabitants. Can we expect the zone to change during game play i.e. Structural damage, rain, snow, radioactive damage etc?
A: There is a phenomenon in the game we call blowout of anomalous energy. It happens regularly, approximately once a week of the gaming time, off the center of the Chernobyl zone to change the face of the area. After each blowout the location of anomalies change, so as new artifacts get generated to basically make the Zone an unexplored area again. It’s extremely dangerous to remain outdoors at the time of blowout and every creature tries to find a hiding place.
On top of anomalies changing, we’ve got dynamic time and weather system constantly functioning in the game. So, along with sunrises and sunsets the player will experience rain, fog, wind and more. |
Blowout of anomalous energy? Not only does that sound cool, but I think it's also the first tongue twister that I've found in a video game. C'mon... try saying it three times fast.
Go check out the interview here and keep an eye out for this game - it's gonna kick all sorts of ass, I'm tellin you.
Also, a quick reminder; if you have any news you'd like us to post, don't send it to a specific staffer - use the Submit News link on the right side of the page. Thanks! |
