Follow-up: Half-Life 2 Not in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[CSN NewsBot]

We had a news story not too long ago that pointed to the possibility that there were Half-Life 2 assets found in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. The truth shall finally be revealed! An article from The Inquirer states that the Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 graphical assets found within S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are part of a texture pack sold by Marlin Studios.

Valve has confirmed that it picked up some textures from Marlin for HL2, and separate sources have discovered that the IMP_Light texture that it was thought could have been pilfered from Doom 3 was, in fact, just a standard Impact Light texture, rather than referring to the Doom 3 monster.

So there you have it. The mystery has finally been revealed. It's okay to carry on with your daily lives now.

I figured this as allot of art for games is outsourced nowadays.

There is some sound that is the generic 'police radio' sound.



"Crime lease not seventy-nine forty-six" Or something. It's a generic 'chatter' sound so it's hard to make out the exact words.



I have heard that exact same sound in a lot of movies, and in the game SimCity 3000.

It's like when you hear the same "drama sound" on every american TV show ever at some point, especially in the promos.

Or like when you hear the doorbell ring and a sexy pizzagirl is at the door and you invite her in for some hot sex, but it turns out the pizzagirl was a pizzaboy.



Crap, did I ruin a chain of simile's again?
