Enjoy your new WarZ (Infestation: SS now), backers.

Cheap cashgrab. Even the absolutely dull, non-sensical and cheap trailers pretty much scrmaas about that. And, of course, "Spiritual successor of the STALKER" to draw attention. Judging by the comments in this thread it worked.

If I was forced to play it on a console I think using the Wii U tablet as an anomaly detector could be interesting. But the graphics on that system would probably look worse than the first STALKER.

They should have made their own clone of Visceral Clean up haha.
On a new shiny engine.
For Wii and PS4.
With horror elements.
And open-world, of course.

UPDATE 12PM BST: I've spoken to Survarium developer Vostok Games - founded by former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs - about Areal.

The biggest concern is West-Games apparently using footage and assets from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series to represent Areal.

"My biggest concern with West-Games is using the footage and assets of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and representing them as their own, which is not only illegal, but simply just not right," Vostok's PR and marketing manager Oleg Yavorsky told me.

He said there was footage of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat used.

"I guess it's all made for the sake of getting extra publicity (which unfortunately works), but guys on Kickstarter should probably pay attention."

Whether any legal action will be pursued is up to GSC, the existing shell of the developer that made - and owns - S.T.A.L.K.E.R..

Another irritant for Yavorsky and Vostok was West-Games' claim of being comprised of developers who were considered the core S.T.A.L.K.E.R. team. GSC infamously took ages making the game, announcing it in 2001 for release in 2003, but subsequently delaying and delaying until a buggy release in 2007.

Many people worked on the game in those years, Yavorsky argued.

"So that you understand, since the long years of development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and then Metro, there have been literally hundreds of people involved in working on their bits and pieces, starting from beta-testers up to modellers responsible for certain weaponry models," he said.

"Many people came to the studio to work for a few months just for the sake of adding S.T.A.L.K.E.R. development to their portfolio. Frequently they claimed afterwards to be the 'core' developers behind the game - you wouldn't know anyway, right?"

Specifically regarding the West-Games roster he said: "Well, some of those people did work for GSC for substantial periods of time. However their role as core team would be overestimated."

We have contacted Vostok Games about their supposed claim that we are fraudulent. They say that they have no relation to that claim and have since deleted the forum topic (https://forum.survarium.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3450#wrap) wherein a moderator accused us of being fake. The Kickstarter comments section has been completely hijacked by a couple of people, and even if we comment there, our posts will be ignored and buried. Misery LTD in particular is developing another post apocalyptic video game and is stirring controversy to attract people to his Kickstarter project. I hope that you, our supporters, can see through this deliberate negativity and help us make an awesome game with Areal. Update 2 is coming later today, and will clarify things even further.

Blaming a single forum moderator? Lol. And then accusing the Misery team of trying to hijack the comments section to promote The Seed, when it was already successfully funded two months ago? Yeah, sure.

And in case anyone didn't see this, even the supposed in-game images they showed were taken from a post-apocalyptic asset pack on the Unity store:

Multiplayer should have been like the 1 million stretch goal because I don't care for it and would rather have more SP content.

Also 30k to ensure it gets funded and they get the extra cash as opposed to 100k and not get funded because they only raised 90k.


Sounds like bullshit to me. There's a reason big games have a high goal: because it makes sure that the devs will have enough game to complete the game. A low goal would mean the dev running off with your money even if it may not be enough to make the game work.

Anyone with half a brain would not invest in this until the amount raised is at least 300k and you can bet many people will hold back for exactly this reason. As much as I adore STALKER, I won't back this either because it worries me how they admit they're running out of funds and think 50k is enough. Even in Russia/Eastern Europe, it will only fund 3-4 people for one year.

What a bunch of useless drama when the main question remains... women.

Where were they on the STALKER games? Rolling Eyes
Would bloodsuckers attack them or discriminate them? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
And transgendered female mutant boars? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes


Discuss.

The way I see it the main issue will be IF the game will really be developed by the people behind STALKER. If so lets have a look at their track record:

Last released game - STALKER: Call of Pripyat

STALKER 2 - Canceled (one can only speculate of the reasons for this)
Cradle - Canceled
Survarium - 1 year or so after the release date they only have some kind of CS-like bullshit and it was supposed to be the real spiritual successor of STALKER 2 and it was supposed to use parts of the game, which were ready.

So I don't see a point to support someone, who claims that they were behind the STALKER games and I see even a smaller reason to support the devs who were actually involved with the above mentioned games.
