I believe that CoP was designed to be very different from SoC/CS because of how linear and limiting the SoC map was, I'd even argue that a lot of SoC was comprised of dungeon crawl maps... With a completely new map they could focus on making their game more open world. To further remove the linearity (and the slog of tredging from the two opposing points on the map) they set up transition points in the center/hub areas to move in between maps.

Honestly, I have a feeling that the 60km2 of Stalker 2 will include lots of somewhat empty, or otherwise nondescript space. The thing about Stalker 1 maps is that they're for the most part pretty densely packed, with little unnecessary room. They're only as big as they need to be. But since Stalker 2 will feature only one big map, I bet there will be plenty of areas where nothing in particular happens or is present.

I think thats really a thing in alot of open world games tbh. Fallout games, atleast 3 and new vegas have huge maps, but alot of the areas are just desolate space with nothing too noteworthy alot of the times and copy & paste interiors. Only a few games IMO has managed to create the open world as vibrant as desired, mostly games like red dead redempiton, gta etc. I would rather have smaller maps and more content than vice versa, and the OG stalker trilogy did just that.

On a side note, it's interesting to see some huge cracks in the world in the upper left and right sides of the Call of Pripyat map.

What I hate about games is how skewed the distance and proportions of things are. If you compare PUBG, Warzone(the original), gta5, Escape from Tarkov, DCS and Hitman WoA you can see how can devs make things good and awful at the same time. 100m in one game is 400m in another. And that's without taking into consideration movement speeds. One thing I remember very well from the original warzone (and gta5) is that runways are way too short, like less then a kilometer short. It wouldn't be that bad if they didn't choose to put a plane that is more then 10% of the size of that runway. What I'm trying to say is that devs can make a game feel gigantic or small depending on their sense of dimensions.

I remember a year back, I did a calculation with how the Zone would expand after the events of SoC all the way till 2022 when Heart of Chornobyl will take place. And with the lore that Emissions expand the Zone, my calculations concluded that the Zone expanded over 15k kilometers (If I remember right) ever since Strelok killed the C-Con scientists and caused the Zone to be uncontrolable. So if GSC kept this in mind since they are planning Stalker 2 to take place 10 years after the first game. We would be having established maps bigger than before, or new maps bigger than the previous maps we know. Just imagine the Cordon will be longer than how we remember it because the Military will be forced to fall back from the daily Emissions adding +5 km to the Zone's size.

I mean, technically the original planned STALKER 2 (that was in the works around 2009 and eventually shelved) was based around a zone that had expanded to contain the entirety of Belarus, eastern Ukraine, and eastern Russia. I mean that’s obviously very big, and it would be very cool (once the 2022 STALKER 2 comes out) if some models put that original zone back into the game

Excellent work! As well as the square kilometres, are you able to provide the length and width of each map? (Or at least, the length and width of the rectangular regions?) I've read people saying that the road in Cordon is 1.8km long but that seems unlikely if the entire square km of the Cordon map s less than 1km! There are complete overhead PDA maps of the zone (you showed some in this video), the physical collector's editions of the game also came with paper versions of those zone maps, would you be able to work out the scale of those maps? (The Call of Pripyat even has a square grid, but no scale is provided.) Also, would this technique of using the distance indicator numbers allow you to work out the player's normal walking speed/running speed/crawling speed?
@anomalousdugout95573 ай бұрын
I do have the length and width of the maps. I'll see if I can make a post about it, for example Cordon is around 1260 meters long. The PDA maps are not accurate because the scales of each area are not consistent, some are too small and some are too big compared with each other (an obvious example is the Dark Valley which appears way too big). Yes, we can use this technique to figure out the player speed. I'll try to do it someday.
@youreviltwinLP3 ай бұрын
@@anomalousdugout9557 fantastic, thank you! It is a shame that the PDA maps (and presumably the paper maps that came with the physical game) have those distortions. I'm working on a Stalker-inspired setting for a tabletop role-playing game, and I had hoped to work out the scale of the paper/PDA maps and use them for calculating wildernesses travel times and distances. "To get from rookie Village to the Bar is *something* kilometres, if you follow the road and miraculously aren't interrupted by anything, that should take you approximately *something* hours to get there if you walk at normal speed..." But it seems like it might be necessary to use the individual length/width of each map rather than referring to the overall zone map, due to not all the locations being the same scale on the map. Is that also true of Stalker Anomaly? I know that that has a map that includes the locations from all 3 games, and the map was tweaked in order to include everything. I wonder if it would be possible for someone to create a "true" map of the zone, by adjusting the size of certain regions to match their in-game counterparts. Or by using overhead screenshots of each area, and splicing them together.

The in-game measuremen't isnct really to scale with object size. If you'd measure how tall an NPC is using crosshair, you'll find them 1.4 meters tall or something. Expected average height is 1.75 meters. You can also do same with buildings, especially those in CoP - check in-game size vs. sattelite map and I'm sure the in-game measurement will be smaller on average. Or do the same for cars (automobile or train) etc.

If you were to travel from the bottom of the swamps all the way to the northern edge of the CNPP I wonder how long the distance would be

With the unexpected release of the console versions of the original trilogy a few days ago, finally the Stalker franchise is getting a new peak in the popularity. What do you think of the console versions Dugout ?

Honestly something feels off about your methodology. And I believe it to be the "crosshair measurement" system used. The reason I feel this way is because Stalkers feels A LOT bigger than just 6km² in real life. I believe that a more true to life way of measuring the gamespace would be to take the average person walking speed (between 4 to 5 km/h), measure how long it takes to cross Cordon, for example, just by walking, and then measure the distance walked, and consequently the whole game space following this method. Do you still have the configs you used in ImageJ? It would simply require changing the base distance.

@@anomalousdugout9557 sorry, I am retarded. Here is a response from chat gpt. for the ones like me. To convert square kilometers to square meters, you can use the conversion factor: 1 square kilometer (km²) = 1,000,000 square meters (m²). So, to convert 0.087 km² to square meters: 0.087 km² * 1,000,000 m²/km² = 87,000 m² Therefore, 0.087 square kilometers is equal to 87,000 square meters.
