Fæle nyheter, men det virker som drømmen om et massivt action-RPG satt i Chernobyl ikke blir akkurat så fantastisk som vi hadde håpt. Etter år med utsettelse har THQ brakt inn en ny prosjektleder og hans mål er ene og alene å få det over i en spillbar form og ut døra. Da blir det ikke helt uventet nødvendig å kutte et og annet feature.
SITAT
SKUFFA!

Some of it is true, some isn't. Obviously, we know now the game is still on track and that the release will indeed be early next year. A major development did however occur - around a year ago THQ brought in freelance developer Dean Sharpe to transform the game from an undefined mess of potential to a sprawling masterpiece...
One thing we noticed during a area change was a loading screen. Sharpe said that not only do these loading screens appear between areas, but also as you walk about the world. So the game unfortunately doesn't feature a seamless world as we once believed...
What was most surprising however was Sharpe revealing that 'I may or may not take out the vehicles - I haven't decided yet'. Vehicles were a big part of the game's original feature-set. If they were to be removed it would pose more than a few design problems, considering the size of the 30-square kilometre area covered in the game....
'This is an example of a little bit of how the game has changed over the year,' said Sharpe. 'You wouldn't have [this] type of thing in the game before - it was completely open-ended. So now we've added scripted events to make sure you can actually follow the story...
'There isn't that much that's been cut … I've made some minor changes. There were some types of mutants that I pulled out. I took out sleeping and eating - a couple of the minor RPG elements. I also shortened the amount of dialog in the dialog trees - there [was a lot] of back and forth that wasn't needed.'[/b]
