Liked that the Merc was still a decent guy to not only spare the scientist but to give him a gun to defend himself.

[@user-ew9sq5iw5w]

It's the Zone. Everyone is going to kill each other at some point, but the Scientist saved his life. You never backstab someone in the Zone. You shoot them in the face, sure, but you never backstab them. That's the way to get hunted by everyone.

[@arkoa0000]

@@user-ew9sq5iw5w I was more pointing out towards how the Merc was grateful enough to hand over a gun for the scientist to defend himself with. Could of left the guy to fend for his own or hand him one of the guard's weapons but I feel like it adds another bit of honor and gratefulness to hand someone your own weapon as a sign of thanks.

[@Trickyboy1337]

wait... one thing I just noticed on my... fourth or fifth rewatch? The two stalkers who held off the bloodsucker horde? It always seemed strange to me, given how dangerous bloodsuckers can be, that the two of them survived being rushed by like eight of the things. When our protagonist enters the tunnel that the convoy took shelter in, there's only the one dead stalker and the one dead bloodsucker who killed him. I guess the bloodsuckers they shot were just SODAZ' rendition of the hallucination attack controllers do where they release apparitions of mutants to attack you

[@user-lo9jg6wc6s]

I understand everything, BUT! If we adhere to the canons of the stalker, then the controller cannot be attacked with the help of phantoms, only PSI installations do this (brain burner at the Radar location)

[@AurelionSass]

To be fair, one of them had a shotgun. Those are usually really effective against those things.

[@user-vq1jz2nh7e]

Depends on one's view on the mutants. Some see bloodsuckers as deadly and lonely one-at-a-time predators, other see them as less powerful creatures tended to live in a horde. And it actually is a problem to the game's lore itself, as you can see the first variant in SoC and the second variant in CoP. So... Depends, I guess

[@_GenericAmerican]

[@ranscorpio3235]

[@burntbread6575]

It might be a small detail but I love how the main character merc speaks English. It really fits with the mercs as a faction being composed of soldiers from all walks of life and regions.

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

Using zombies as a distraction, and then sending in Monolith was really clever, and I hope that kind of thing is in the second STALKER. Also, love this to pieces, because it does a really good job of showing just how badly the ZONE wants everything dead, and how sometimes no amount of experience or equipment can help.

[@3xtan327]

Doesn’t that already kinda happen in stalker cop? The lab x8 mission?

[@vincentcrow6075]

What distraction? They approached from exactly same direction. It was meat shield at best. And soldiers with stormtrooper accuracy, unable to hit ANYONE exept "exoskeleton" despite all monolith guys were just kinda standing(!) on the completely(!!) open(!!!) spot is just laughable. Mediocre fight but good animation.

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

@@vincentcrow6075 The distraction was the zombies shooting at them while pushing forward, so the soldiers didn't see the guy with the RPG until way too late. The Zombies in the house would probably have helped as well, if they weren't dead.

[@vincentcrow6075]

@@bubbasbigblast8563 again, they just walk in the open field head on few meters away from their "distraction".

@@durpyislost6212 the missions are the same, i havent played anomaly much though. but i literally lost a few missions becouse the guy i got it from or the person i was supposed to go to died. also during a lot of missions anything can happen, you can get charged by various wildlife or zombified humans, there can be a sudden psy storm or nuclear outblast, even though these are announced beforehand by the scientists, once your focused on the mission you can forget about it completely. something as simple as 'collect seven boar paws' can turn into the bloodiest firefight you've ever seen, and then you'd still be lacking those boar paws.. the way the ai interacts with the world not needing your presence is the crux, going out and away from a good campfire? you can come back to find it taken over by a bandit group. heading out towards CCNP? better bring a few friends or hire some mercs to assist you becouse soloing that place is NOT recommended.

The Mercs is my faction when I play Call of Chernobyl so this is exactly like something I would have experienced while playing. From the base being the Dead City and encountering different factions fighting each other whilst travelling alone and having to fight off mutants only for the gunfire to attract others. A true STALKER experience.

[@kingarthur605]

the attention to detail is really good like how he turns off his NVG to not get spotted by the bandits.

[@Griemz]

this was absolutely insane, well done. The rain effects on his wet clothes, the human and tactical movements... Along with a pretty convincing and 'realistic' portrayal of such a specialized mission: lots of waiting, patience, bursts of action and fearlessness companied with necessary moments of downtime (the bandaging, reloading magazines, packing of bags,...) If I could critique 1 thing it would be the lighting: if interesting sources of light and hues put more contrast between the highlighted spots and the darkness, then i think your beautiful animations, effects etc could've been even more appreciated. Right now it's very dark and imo too dark with not enough 'highlights' on the interesting stuff. But my god is this an amazing work of art. Well done 9/10

[@dnaderelmasry7973]

You could argue the fact that the only thing highlighted was the artifact at the beginning was a nod to how the only good thing that came out of the zone were artifacts.

It is remarkable how this movie captures the essence of Stalker. The quests for ever-wanted artifacts, the poor souls of zombified stalkers howling like a human-shaped warning sign of whom any of us may become. The military clean-up operations running aground when faced by the Monolith. The unpreparedness of gopniks to whom it is just another day of robbing others or dying trying to do so. And the unpredictability of the Zone. The mere chance, that makes one an ally or an enemy, that makes one live or drawing their last breath. And above all, the ever present feeling of loneliness and decline. Let's drink to the makers of this movie, they are good Stalkers!

You missed so much. There is so much hiden facts in that games. First game called Shadow of Chernobyl, you can play it 5 times and experience diferent things every time (also diferent endings in 2007 make this game great for the time). There is diferent military groups, you can play with them and earn money to buy special suits only from traders in their baracks. Radiation and anomalies here and there. Mutants, bandits etc. Stalker world is live and always changing. Every your, or NPC move change some things. Shooting in stalker is so real. Bullets going randomly at distance and when your weapon is broken or damaged, precision is lost and your weapon can stuck every few bullets. If granade explode near you, your and NPC weapons will be damaged. You can find artifacts stones to improve radiation protection, slow down bleeding, enhance endurance etc. If u didnt play Stalker games, it is not late to start now. p.s. New Stalker is coming. Play older games to get feel for this game and when stalker 2 comes out you will be ready for this amazing new aproach that is coming with excelent graphics and huge map.

Thank you so much for making this, as well as sharing it with us. You are very talented! There were so many subtle things in this video that just had me saying, "yeah"... "awesome little bit".. Everything about it was spot on and you honoured this game with such dedication and attention to detail. I'm so so so grateful to you for making this. Thank you! Right down to the Blood-sucker's eyes glowing.. This really is awesome. Not gonna lie, I really thought the merc was going to take a bullet to the head in that doorway... you even had me on the edge of my seat to the very last second of this... What you have achieved here is better than some major block-buster movies.. I'm serious. You are so talented. KEEP GOING AND DON'T LET ANYTHING STOP YOU, EVEN YOUR OWN SELF-DOUBT, no no no, you KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, REGARDLESS. Doesn't matter if you make no money- it's not about money, or success.. it's about creativity, connecting with others and telling your stories to everyone. Let all the other stuff be a bonus. Do it for your heart and you will go far :) Just to put what I'm about to say into context; I've played Computer games from the start, (green screen space invaders etc). Having said that, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is my NUMBER ONE favourite fps-style game of ALL TIME. Its replayability is one of its strong points. It is based on a true event, the aftermath of which, I witnessed unfolding on TV. It held me fixed like a controller, and it shook the entire world. I grew up obsessed with the mystery of radioactivity and its invisible lethal effects. Such a dangerous force that we don't give much thought to, but without Earth's protective atmosphere, and magnetic field, we'd be all too familiar with very quickly... I've always loved science fiction and science in general. This game has it all, for me. A connection to my personal past, laced with scientific content, exploration, outdoor survival, and small arms combat, it has me enthralled from the get-go. Horrific dangerous environments to have to come face-to-face with, your deepest fears- the game making you face them, having to step into that pitch black room, if you want to progress in the story... with only a torch-light and a limited supply of resources. I hate how I love this game so much!!! Some of my friends can't/won't even play it! If you've played the games, you will find a Easter-egg by way of a picture of the dev team, stood infront of the CNPP. I think it's either in the Dark Valley building, or the Army Warehouses, but it shows the dev team in a picture, hanging on the wall. i loved seeing that. I have the screenshots to remember it haha.

Hey, heads up - the guy behind the spooky Controller audio is quite thrilled to see it used for the Controller psy-fuckery here! While I have a preference for STALKER's vanilla models - since they fit into the world they live in and make up STALKER's identity - I think you did an impressive job with capturing the atmosphere, tension, and action of STALKER with the more modern HD models. Favorite part was the whole Controller segment, since it feels like you really took advantage of the medium here to properly show the capabilities of a Controller as stated in lore.

They can sense you from tens of meters away 2:11 Sometimes multiple shots do not kill a zombie, even when the head is shot already 2:35 Yes stalker zombies can use guns 2:41 An94 (in game called obodkan, or AC-96/2 depending on which game) is used extensively by the military 2:51 Monolith (white suit guys) are not attacked by the zombies because they are technically "on the same team" (I won't spoil too much about the plot). Also Rpg is only seen used by Monolithians (there are some laying by other faction members in game such as mercs, but that's when they are dead and only provide for you to pick up) 2:54 Explains the abundance of broken APCs in the game 3:04 Monolithians have white eyes, correct depiction 3:13 Correct wounded noise for military 3:16 да монолітх !!! 3:58 Blue colored NVG signifies gen 2 version of night vision (in SoC and Clear Sky). 4:17 Snork noises 4:25~4:39 : One snork feeding on a corpse while 2 others lurk in the darkness. Snorks never hunt alone, and use ambush tactics (like leaping) 4:44 Poorly armed bandits, like they always are 4:51 Yelling like a madman, typical bandits 4:57 Swinging their flashlight around, true bandit fashion 5:28 Finding someplace safe to heal, any stalker knows how important it is to find place first then heal, a mutant or a hostile stalker might ambush you while you are healing. 5:35 The way he take those pills are similar to the way in Anomaly. 5:52 task update once you reached task location 6:12 visions of controller when one is nearby 7:17 Same eating sound as in game 7:31 Military engaging bandits in the zone 7:34 HE SAID IT, HE SAID THE THING !!! 7:52 ecologists sticking near to military as they are government scientists 8:04 Despite being advantageous to take out the soldiers first, the merc aims at the ecologists first. Most mercs are known to hate ecologists 8:16 Unknown sniper, possibly loner or bandit hiding in the buildings. A common hazard in the zone 8:20 Shotgunner taking shots like a champ because he's wearing exoskeleton, one of the most powerful armor in the game 8:32 flocks of bird when blowout is near 8:33 blowout siren 8:38 notice how the protagonist uses English when everyone else uses slavic language (ukraninan/russian). The protagonist is a mercenary (indicated by the eagle insignia) which can come from many places, our protagonist most likely comes from America (indicated by his name) 8:43 The exosuit soldier is last because he cannot sprint (a limitation of the suit until you add modifications). 8:58 birds die due to blowout, a sight in the zone 9:13 faint bloodsucker noises 9:24 Shotguns can usually 1-2 shot mutants, unless its a "boss" mutant like a pseudogiant or chimera. Most mutants can take a lot of punishment from intermediate rifle rounds. 9:27 More bloodsucker noises, as they live in hives 9:36 Correct ecologist lines 9:39 in game door sounds 9:44 Ecologists are very poorly armed, most of them (like this) only has a pistol 9:47 stalker ambient noises 10:14 Exosuit only protects body, not the head. They can still die to a head shot even if its a pistol 10:43 Electro anomaly on the powerline. Electro anomalies usually spawn near electrical systems 10:45 Stalker outside of cover during blowout turns into zombies. 11:33 that static noise when a controller is present 11:36 That zoom on the controller when it attacks, truthful to the game. Also the noises gets louder when the controller gets near the merc just like the games 12:39 No one survives in the zone alone, make allies as one day they might help you live 12:44 Stalker run (me n the bois on our way to the bar) 12:51 USB Flash drive, data type items is mostly represented by a Flash drive in game. in conclusion : very good film

Right on most of the points, but one thing: The abundance of broken vehicles/APCs/etc. in the Zone is more due to the Zone having a deleterious effect on vehicles and large electronics.

Also as a fellow Stalker player I would like to clarify some things from your comment: On 7:31 this is not military shooting bandits but mercs (military always uses their camo uniforms where mercs use dark blue suits) aligned with ecologists (in games you can almost always found ecologists surrounded with merc guards because scientists pay the most) Also given how many things point out that this animation is based on Anomaly (different types of exoskeletons for example nosorog used by Monolith) probably these guards are part of ecologist faction in which most of the people utilise Merc suits (that's why their suits have dark blue colour like mercs) Regarding exoskeleton, the one used by the Merc (or more likely armed ecologist as in Anomaly they act separately) is a scientific version (in Anomaly most factions have their own version of different types of suits and armour) of proto-exoskeleton. Biggest differences between proto and standard version of exoskeleton is that the proto version lacks additional ballistic protection and an exohelm that can shrug off alot of different types of bullets especially pistol rounds (unless you have Desert Eagle) that's why he got killed by one shot from a pistol. Also given how main character completed mission for UNISG he can also be their spy undercover as a merc (alot of mercs comes from other countries than eastern block which can easily explain his English).
