The carved chimera monster. "Stalker", which we lost

The article describes how the chimera from Stalker looks, why this monster was cut from the final version and how to look at it.

Stalker

Games about post-apocalypse, a ruined world without people or world disasters are very popular now. However, not only games. What are some book series about life after the end of the world, which has no end and edge. To say when and why people so sharply took a great interest in such subjects is difficult, but it will be fair to say that an important role in this was played by such a game as "Stalker". Developed one long, with a "creaking", and fans constantly tearing their hair because of the endless release release dates.

But after more than 5 years of expectations, the game did see the light. And immediately on forums and gaming thematic communities, many began to create angry topics about the fact that this is not the game that they were promised. Simply put, a lot of game content was cut out of it, including a monster like a chimera. "Stalker", in addition to her, lost many interesting ideas and concepts.

Adaptation

The official response of the developers was this: the game just went through the adaptation for the Western market. In fact, this is a normal process. Games are sometimes altered in small things for different countries, that's all the expected masterpiece of survival in the exclusion zone underwent this process, losing mass of detail and content. And including a monster, like a chimera. "Stalker" of course, still collected a lot of awards, awards and positive assessments, but the network from time to time pop up old concepts, ideas and samples of what was cut out.

Particularly poured oil into the fire modders. It turned out that the models, scripts, textures, voice acting and so on - all this remained in the game, you just need to be able to run. One of the earliest mods and returned mutated mutants, including one such as a chimera. "Stalker", due to the variety of mods, is alive to this day, and, unlike other games, amateur modifications to it are still being released to him one better than the other. And some in general are more like individual games, they have another game engine, and so on.

Appearance of the Chimera

True, many were surprised to see the chimera. It was described in documents and developer concepts as a beautiful, plastic, flexible and very dangerous monster. And in the game it is represented by the usual clumsy mutant, albeit strong. And perhaps this is one of the reasons why we cut out such a monster as a chimera. "Stalker" in any case was the ancestor of a series of games with a similar concept and a series of books.
