Even the monument sign, “Tree of Friendship of nations” in the 1st microdistrict is in the virtual world. We will consider the objects in the city of Pripyat, which was introduced by the game creators in the original game “Shadows of Chernobyl” and addition – “Call of Pripyat”.įirst of all, gamers are attracted to the dead city of Pripyat. Authenticity and photorealistic surroundings are one of the main features of STALKER. But still, most of the locations are quite recognizable and those who have been in the Zone or have seen it in photographs, will find many familiar landscapes for themselves. Many elements had to be changed, both for the sake of gameplay and design. It is clear that not everything we see in the game takes place in real life. Most of the textures were also replicated from real objects. At its basis, the appearance of in-game objects were created: all kinds of rusty tractors, cranes, telephone boxes – all of this was taken from the Zone. How did the developers created an unique virtual copy of Exclusion Zone?Īfter several trips to Chernobyl, the GSC Game World developers collected a large number of photos and video material.

Know the difference between Stalker and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.įirst of all, bear in mind that “stalker” is not the same thing as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has one interesting feature – the game developers have put a lot of effort into making the virtual Zone as close as possible to the real one. This is a series of first-person-shooter survival horror video games, based loosely on the novel, “Roadside Picnic” by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky and the film of the same name, “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky. There is hardly a real fan of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone who is not familiar with the game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
