According to a recent interview Rock, Paper, Shotgun had with GSC’s Oleg Yavorsky, new locations are in store for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. In addition he mentions a few of the major improvements made to their A-Life system, the game engine, and lessons learned from their previous releases.
Underground locations will return in Call of Pripyat, a sleep mode will be added to the game to pass the time until a new mission or to restore health, and other goodies.
For the full interview, hit up Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Call of Pripyat is slated to be released later this year on the PC.
Can you tell us about the new areas of the zone that Call of Pripyat will include? How much of this new material is taken from the real Chernobyl zone?
Yavorsky: We will present a complete set of new locations in Call of Pripyat. This includes the Pripyat river basin and its rusty fleet standing still for over 20 years now, the Kopachi village completely buried after the accident, Jupiter factory located on the outskirts of Pripyat, the railway station Yanov, and, to crown it all – an entire district of Pripyat, modeled in its real scope. Many players have repeatedly asked us to implement Pripyat in the game, so we decided to satisfy their wish.
I think Call of Pripyat will be the most photo-realistic, and hence, atmospheric S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game of all three.
