  • outstandish! I learned it on my guitar - the perfect song for those late evenings with guitar and vodka.

  • Comment removed

  • what does STALKER stand for?

  • @Chimera262 Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber

  • @Chimera262 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for "Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber"

  • Miraculous crystal, Given by the stars, I can foresee the future, In fabulous glass. Lie spilt on the caves, Mock scribbled on us. Earth's doomsday is close. Dancing on the ashes of the world, I behold the stars. Heavy gale is blowing to my face, Rising up the dust. Barren lands are desperate to blossom, Dark stars strive to shine. Still remember blue ocean in this dying world.
  • Miraculous crystal

    Given by stars

    I can foresee the future

    In fabulous glass

    Lie spilt on the caves

    Mock scribbled on us

    Earth’s doom day is close

  • This song encourages me to do almost anything

  • YEESSS! I learned to play this on guitar! Amazing song!

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. best game 4life,I love it,and this song

  • Such a great song from such an unknown group. This song makes me nostalgic, reminds me of the greatest game ever, & reminds me of all those who suffered from the Chernobyl incident.

  • Amazing. Simply, amazing.

  • You only hear like a 5 second loop of this song on the loudspeaker in one of the cities

  • You know what I would love to see in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 ? The camera effects used in "Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days", but in first person. That would give the game the perfect reality effect.

  • @RammGmbH I think that something along the lines of the ArmA 2 head bobbing and blur would be good.

  • @sockschappercat

    That's what I though, but, the creators of K&L2, took the basic camera effects from Armed Assault 2 and they improved it 3x. You can see blood, distortion, blur, color saturation, etc. Those effects would be perfect on a dark-semi-scary game.

  • @RammGmbH Ahh, yes. True.

  • @RammGmbH You have to be careful what you say here, because PC gamers dont want their trophy game turning into mainstream console fodder. I see your point, but I dont think it would be stalker if they did that.

  • @Willforbes296532

    Oh... So you are saying that improving the graphics would be a bad thing? Jeez, what the hell are you thinking about... Stalker would be even better if its graphics get improved. I dont know about you, but I wouldnt buy a 2012 game with 2007 graphics. The game is good because it has a great atsmosphere, and this, with adequate graphics, could be the game of the year.

  • @RammGmbH No, im opposing your view of turning it into what is effectively another Gears of War. Graphics don't make a good game. You appear to be contradicting yourself in your post there.

  • @Willforbes296532

    As I said, graphics need a certain level, wich is according to the year the game was released. So, if GSC released a STALKER 2 with Quake 2 graphics, would it be a good game? I doubt it. First, the graphics need to be present according to the actual graphic level, and second, I'm not asking for Battlefields' 3 Frostbite 2 engine. I'm just suggesting some innovative camera effects that would fit perfectly on this game. Sorry about my english, but I don't give a damn right now.

  • @RammGmbH

    Let me remind you that Minecraft is one of the best selling games of year

    And that game's graphics are far from todays standards

  • @RammGmbH The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is actually very well known for it's good graphics.

  • @RammGmbH

    Some games don't need exceptional graphics - they rely on atmosphere instead. Have you played STALKER? I mean, don't you remember the first time you encountered a bloodsucker, or a pseudogiant? I literally jumped out of my chair, and it wasn't because the details were so amazing. It's the whole atmosphere of the game. In some parts, I was just as scared as when I played Amnesia, and I had an AKs-47

  • @RammGmbH So you're saying that STALKER needs to be a mix of brown&bloom? How about no. I'd still play it if it was with Quake 2 graphics.

  • My mom made me look this up so she could listen to it on my iPod now I loooooove it

  • GSC is contuniuning STALKER 2 *awww yeah*

  • @StevenTurner92 They are? All of my money.

  • I read one report that S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 will be set near the impact site of the Tunguska event only that it has happened a second time and there is some 'strange' things happening

  • Fallout really reminded me of Stalker. Unlike most games where you can run around doing such and such, YOU control the story. Best Fun fact though most hope it never happens it's really something that could happen irl. We can't say there wont be mutated creatures and ghouls and ect appearing after a nuke meltdown /fallout.

  • @Shomaruki Well, the plants in the real exclusion zone have been found to have become immune to radiation. Radiation can only cause general genetic mutation - no superpowers or anything. If the radiation damages a dominant gene, it's passed on. If it's not useful, then it becomes recessive. It's unlikely that there would be huge amounts of mutation, but larger claws or enhanced senses, for example, are quite possible.

  • @sockschappercat

    That reminded me of this one report that said that some scientist had found a new kind of fungus that well, feeds on radioactive material. Inside the reactor 4 if I remember correctly.

  • @metziih it's highly likely to be in reactor 4, after all, it is the one who went boom...

    but really now: it's really usefull, to have a shroom that eats radiation...

  • @sockschappercat well in the game the mutations are sped up by the anomalies caused by a damaged noosphere

  • @Shomaruki 1: stalker and fallout are worlds apart.

    2: do you really want a pseuedo giant chasing you on the way to the supermarket, and a life that depends on diving in to space and time warpings that will kill yyou if you get to close, to get artefacts in order to eat? do you really want to end up dead and be food for a chimera when you're 35?

    3: it would be awsome if stalker was real. right after i finished my army time in the idf i'd join the fellow stalkers and kick some mutie ass!!!

  • @shrk128 IDF? You're Isreali?

    Funny how lesser known games tend to attract players from places other than America and Britain.

    Good hunting, Stalker.

  • Stalker is the best game series i've ever played. It's just perfect! It's not an fps nor an RPG, it is reality. Just think about it. Artifacts, starving people trying to get a living, death, struggle for survival... life. If stalker dies... it's just... over, no one is ever going to replace it, and those who try will fail miserably. But there is still hope.

  • Official S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: "The Stalker team continues work on the project and hopefully everything will turn out well. Good Hunting Stalkers!" LONG LIVE STALKER~!

  • GSC isn't shut down, read their twitter.

  • SoC is easily the best game I've played in the last 5 years.

    STALKER needs to see it's proper magnum opus. 4A/CD Projekt Red need to make Stalker 2.

    This shit happened to Team Silent, and now Silent Hill series is ruined. I don't wan't stalker in the hands of someone like EA or Activision.

  • i hope this studio is a phoenix

  • best atmosphere in a game

    very realistic

    i enjoy fallout 3 but man

    stalker is like reality

    something that happend

  • @MenTalZeR0 Fallout is something that could happen and is very possible

  • @MrWoot101 But it.. doesn't feel as real as STALKER, in STALKER the people are real, not just the events.

  • @JackOFBlades111 Could you expand on how people are real ?

    But i know what you mean with it not feeling real

  • @MenTalZeR0 To be honest, if you've actually played STALKER the C-C inside the CNNP probably wouldn't happen...

  • It's dead.

  • Hey guys stop it! GSC is not dead, yet.

  • For the love of god, we need to get a modding crew and some writers in the community together and make our own S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. I don't want to see Stalker ruined by EA the same way they ruined Command and Conquer.

  • A toast, I believe, is needed for one of my favorite companies and a game unlike any other. I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. freshman year of college despite my roommate trying to convince me Fallout 3 was better. I can't say I regret the decision to be a part of a great community with its little inside jokes and factions that deep down are the same. Manly tears were shed today. ;_;7

  • @AFreakingMango

    Such is life in the zone.

  • He was a good stalker, let's drink to him once more!

  • Dancing on the ashes of the world

    I behold the stars

    Heavy gale is blowing to my face

    Rising up the dust

    Barren lands are desperate to blossom

    Dark stars strive to shine

    I still remember the blue ocean

    In this dying world

    The feeling and atmosphere in these games is something I have never felt in any other game, ever. R.I.P

  • @GintanxD STOP IT. Stalker is not RIP. STALKER 2 will come. Even if it would not come there are many good mods for STALKER SOC, Clear Sky and COP. New mods are coming novadays. Sorry for crappy english, I am Russian.

  • Don't believe the rumors on the internet. People have visited GSC and actually TALKED to them. They're not closing, and STALKER 2 isn't officially canceled, they're just having human resource issues.

  • The Zone won't die, fellow stalkers. It will live forever, next to our indomitable spirits.

    Thanks for everything, GSC.

  • Rest in peace, GSC, and your fantastic creation, S.T.A.L.K.E.R and its sequel, which unfortunatly we will never get to experience.

  • its been a great ride brother stalkers. but not everything can last forever. budmo. goodbye GSC

  • Let us all take a swig of vodka to the bros at GSC... they were good stalkers... R.I.P.

  • get back in here gsc

  • R.I.P GSC

  • R.I.P GSC, MAKERS OF ONE OF THE BEST FIRST PERSON SHOOTER RPG'S THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN

  • EPIC GAME, EPIC MUSIC..

  • R.I.P. GSC

  • nooooooooooo gsc down noooooooooooooo

  • R.I.P. GSC. ;( 

  • R.I.P. GSC. Fuck. 

  • I hear this song in all three of the games any time I hear a radio start playing anything - theres nothing like it in any game, and I remember running back to safe places in SHOC and wanting to hear the song, knowing I was finally safe, and getting as close to the radio as possible to enjoy it. I also get as close as I can to the guys when they play around a fire - STALKERS are damn good guitarists it seems! lol

  • Everyone, I'm sure S.T.A.L.K.E.R will get picked up by another company, maybe somehow, a better one.

    R.I.P GSC

  • @butchology No, see, the way this industry works... it will get picked up by one of the big developer-eaters. Single-player will be downgraded to 2 very dark hallway fight sequences and will require an internet connection and registration program running in the background. Multiplayer will be made into a frantic deathmatch until it's no longer supported and the servers go down. The release version will not contain artifacts, you'll have to buy them with real money via DLC.

  • Rest in peace, GSC...

  • I played this with RainyMood (dot) com after adjusting youtube volume for maximum effect. This is the official way to remember our fallen brother S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

    RIP GSC.

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is part of who I am, it made me learn russian and drink vodka. I will forever cherish the moments I've had in the Zone, and carry a little piece of the Zone with me anywhere I go.

  • Can't believe this is happening, Stalker was such an amazing series.

  • The zone... The entity that humans were never meant to survive in... Our home, is gone but we will always remember its dark majestic beauty!

  • Strelok will snipe the monolith...in stalker heaven

  • We told him to get out of here.

    And he did ;_;

  • r.i.p. :(

  • Fellow STALKERS, it has been a joy, and an honor to serve with you. Perhaps our paths will cross again some day. But if the zone has taught us anything, it is that we cannot look back. No matter the pain, we must go forward, even if it hurts.

    Thank you STALKER, thank you GSC.

    May Angels sing thee to thy rest.

  • Breaking out the Russian Standard tonight...

  • a veil of darkness covers the forest. the cities fade in the grey.

    the maps in our PDAs turn black, the fog settles in the shade.

    the zone is once again alienated from the world.

    it's treasures and mysteries will leave earth as fast as they've come...

    with a blowout, a red storm, a breeze from the void. and we're back where we left from.

    still all alone.

    but remember these words, fellow stalker, i vow with my life:

    the day will come in which the zone will once again belong to man.

  • >:_C

    Sweet dreams, dearest of game series.

    I will love you forever.

    Never going to forget you in my lifetime, when I get the money I will immortalize you as a tattoo on my very flesh and skin.

    It's the least I can do.

  • Goodbye STALKER, you were rough around the edges, with clunky combat, poor optimisation, shitty dialogue and story, but you had something special and undefinable. You kept me playing for hours, over and over again with a dozen different mods.

    To one of the best games of all time ;_;7

  • I guess, I'm not the one getting out of here after all, old friend.

  • Good night sweet princes...

  • RIP GSC

  • RIP GSC...You will be missed stalkers....

  • I used to be a game developer like Gsc guys... Then a bloodsucking brain schorching mutant two headed son of a Zone bite my knee...

  • @KENYtheONE YOU'RE A FUCKING FAGGOT. FUCKING KNEE JOKES ARE NOT FUNNY. EVER.

  • @llRedSnowll U RE A FAGGOT, COUSE YOU THINK YOU ARE THE MAN IF YOU WRITE WITH CAPS LOCK. Get a life.

  • Such is life in the zone...

  • RIP Stalker ... :/

  • Even if we have to wait decades, there will be a Stalker 2..............Believe, there WILL be a Stalker 2!

  • ;_;7

    Rest in beach russia

  • Read about GSC on RPS earlier today but I didn't really realise what it meant until now. STALKER might not have been the best game I've ever played, but it was good and GSC were a good company. I shall drink in your memory.

  • it's over, gaming is finished

  • @GCscape said "It's over, gaming is finished" *slowly shake my head* it's really depressing, PC gaming is going down the toilet

  • Get out of here Stalker.. ;_;7 You've had a long, hard life.

  • @1234Mindgames

    Strelok...had a hard life.

  • @1234Mindgames Goddammit. ;_;

  • @1234Mindgames

    GSC isn't dead

  • RIP S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and GSC... this is bullshit!

  • Let us drink once more to GSC. You were good Stalkers...

  • @MorePartyHats

    GSC isn't dead

  • @MorePartyHats

    Na zdorovie...

    We will not forget you!... (sigh)

  • @MorePartyHats Thank god they decided to stay

  • @MorePartyHats Thank god they decided to stay

  • Let us drink to STALKER 2... It was a good sequel.

  • R.I.P STALKER 2... we'll remember you, stalker, you were a good fighter...

  • GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE

  • What the hell

  • Dirge of CNPP ♥

  • I should get S.T.A.L.K.E.R is it like metro 2033?? brcause if it is im 99.9% getting it

  • @Arcticalreconwolf It's better than metro 2033 in my opinion, it's so atmospheric. shadow of chernobyl is the best.

  • @Arcticalreconwolf I've got both, huge fan of both. In my opinion, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is more free-roam than Metro 2033, and better, but as I said, I'm a huge fan of both, so you will probably love it, get Shadow of Chernobyl first, then Clear Sky(buggy) and then Call of Pripyat.

  • @SweHuntah123 I actually recommend reading the synopsis/backstory of the Zone first (no spoilers), and then playing Clear Sky first. Why? So much happens in Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky actually builds up suspense about many of the events of SoC. That's just how I feel anyway. CS isn't really buggy after patches, but is the least stable after modding.

  • @boredgunner Yer, but I still had some of the minor bugs after patching, such as the warning for radiation text being stuck, but a simple re-load made it go away :)

  • I remember in SoC, sitting there next to the trader for hours just for this song.

  • HOLYSHIT i just heard John Murphy - In the House In a Heartbeat on the radio from the bar in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

  • @hayharut wurm online is survival

  • @Starioshka I remember playing that game. I used to live in a village named "Liberty" that was located not to far from the Freedom main road.

  • @TheRetroZombie i lived in small Fort Willow village, it was friken beatiful.

  • Memories.

    Beautiful song!

  • @kornholioa But STALKER without bugs just doesn't feel like STALKER :P

    The awkwardness of not crashing every now and then ;)

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would make THE perfect mmo imo, i rlly want to play a survival type mmo, and i dont think one even exists

  • @hayharut There is Dead Frontier, but it's not that good in my opinion, as much as I love zombies, it's just not my cup of tea.

  • @SweHuntah123 yeah, i have tried it but it felt rlly desolate and plain. i didnt like it :(

    id love for there to be something like a mix of Metro 2033 and Stalker

  • :) damn this song is beautiful :)

  • @kornholioa like combing SOC, clear sky and call of Pripyat ? into a MMO? that would be awesome :D from what I can tell in Clear sky is everything is the same except the new area in the zone, in call of pripyat your in a different part of the zone I think =\...but I'm not sure really but either way that would be awesome :D

  • Reminds me of Origa.

  • Don't you hear part of this in a radio At the trader's place at the start? Or in the Bartender's Bar?

  • @PokeChampion07 This is played in sidoriviches bunker.

  • New S.T.A.L.K.E.R would be nice, amirite?

  • @membu Another one is in the making...

  • @boredgunner

    Great! Any info on the release?

  • @membu It will be a multi-platform release and will come out next year. There were also some interviews on it, but not much info was revealed.

  • @boredgunner

    Sweet.. The Multi-platform thing is kind of a bummer though, since they're going to dumb thing's down from what they used to be. But no matter how good it will be, it will never beat SoC.

  • @membu They'll still develop it primarily for PC, so it won't be a port.

  • why isn't this on the top of all radios/tv ... ?? it's better than most of the stuff we can hear nowaday !!! guess, only stalker gamer are great enough to hear know this one

  • The music is beautiful but the girls cannot sing at ALL. Their falsetto just ruins what would be an amazing song :/ Can't someone cover it???

  • @sahd0w That weird... in my opimiom, she sings quite well, it gives you very saf feeling.

  • @sahd0w Make your own version. I respect your thinking but still this is better than you could probably do so no need to complain about the singing.

  • Man I wish I could get this game in Canada D=

  • @MOSKITO920 Piratebay for you.

  • @MOSKITO920 Just use a digital distributor like Steam, I live in Canada and I can get it.

  • I always new that Strelok was the good guy...

  • Beautiful song - lyrics are about world destroyed by the monolith, so it doesn't fit to the game at all, but I love it anyway:D

  • is there an english translation for this song?

  • @168natasha This is the English version, the lyrics are available on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Wiki, on the Common Consciousness page.

  • Good hunting STALKERs

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl was definitely my favorite out of all of the stalkers and if I ever make a movie this is going to be the ending scene song. Two thumbs up.

  • @SlayerOne301 The game stalker is based on tarkovskys movie stalker....check it up, its good for you.

  • @osaka84 I will definitely look into that. Thanks for the info.

  • Im wondering why other countries don't try to help the Ukrainian Government try to contain the Zone. But then again we wouldn't have three wonderful games to play :)

  • when society collapses i am going to be spraypainting lyrics from this song on random walls. a reminder of the better times. most people won't understand it, but it will still speak to them, and those who played stalker and are not dead yet will smile warmly for a moment before moving on to look for that night's dinner.

  • @metalfaust19 That's fucking awesome

    

  • I... Want... Those shiny glasses! :D

  • God after playing CoP and CS for so long and not playing SoC since march and hearing this song and all the classic lines of "get out of here stalker" and "dont stand i said come in" just all the little things that makes SoC the best stalker game, I almost cried it was so beautiful and welcoming. LONG LIVE S.T.A.L.K.E.R

  • @windson7 get out of here stalker

  • обожая ету песню!первыйраз услышал за душу схватило!!!

  • GET OUT OF HERE STALKER

  • классно...берет за душу.

  • I am so fucking sick and tired of this song you have no idea. It really brought the mood when you heard it the first few times but after some 80 hours into the game it really gets on your nerves.

  • @Angerelic In a few years when you have stopped playing stalker, you'll hear it and it will bring good memories.

  • @Angerelic

    What, do you stand in one spot where it plays? I've played 250 something hours and am hardly sick of it
