The L.U.R.K. team wants to provide the best possible experience from Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, we don't plan to skew the scope of this game, because I, like many others, fell in love with the game because of the story, the realistic gameplay, and the atmosphere. I plan to preserve and improve on that concept to the best of my abilities, and our team has vowed to do so as well. Which is why we took it upon ourselves to provide that experience. We want to fulfill a niche that's otherwise unfulfilled in the modding community. We want to bring as many features to Stalker without damaging or changing the original theme of the game. While improving upon that concept with features that were dropped off the development cycle from GSC, such as stealth AI, and a strong foundation for balance, as well as dynamic A-Life, and an unprecedented visual presentation that no other Stalker Overhaul can touch.
LURK is better.
My sister says: LURK is prettier, Vanilla is scarier...
A wise woman.
In what respect.
He is right you know, the shot from your mod looks more friendly, like is a shot from a quiet family neighborhood in a sundy afternoon, i mean it lacks that feeling that theres bad radiation on the air, that is dangerous to walk there, and all because of the blue skybox, if you used the Vanilla skybox them imo it would look much better. But don't think i dont like your scene it sure looks fantastic, the grass is better, the shading is better, only the feeling of bad place is better on the vanilla shot.
Yeah, I have to agree with guywiththename and Argoon, LURK is definitely prettier, but that's not necessarily the best thing for an oppressive and frightening game like STALKER. I think that LURK with the Vanilla skybox would be fantastic looking though.
Read the article it was posted in. Or not.
LURK looks better not less zone'ish don't worry holden ;)
Lurk was to dark to play, could not see much of anything, some of the effects are quite good such as motion blur and the muzzle flashes. Stalkers a hard game and this mod made it thankfully easier to kill something, but its unstable on my rig and OS as it shut it down on exiting.
That vanilla mod looks amazing.
great work
lurk looks more... pre-zone? like its a more earlier date than vanilla, but its still beautiful
I still think you need to lose the whole "black bloom" thing that's going on, it makes everything look horrible and blurry and it just something that doesn't occur.
I like the lurk setting cause i like the zone to be pretty at day but scary at night
Only question I have is - where is the HUD? I can't tell how much ammo I have, or see the minimap or my health. Is there some way I can modify the files and re-enable the HUD?
Otherwise, I love the mod and the guns used make it like a new game.
Count your shots, dont let yourself get shot, you have an map in your PDA i personally cannot see any minimap floating in my line of sight in real life (and sometimes i would like to - those nights at pubs can make me lose my sense of direction completly).
i personaly think LURK mod ruins the scay side of S.T.A.L.E.R.!
The perfect formula for cool stalker soc is
Reanimation Project
All Teh Snake skins
Harmonica Mod
The only thing about LURK that ruins any scariness is the sky during the day. I just wish it was more overcast, gray, zoneish. It's too bloomy and bright. That and too much recoil on guns is the only problem. I know automatic rifles can have a significant amount of recoil, but it's overkill in this mod. I fire 5 shots from a vz.58 in LURK and im looking at the ceiling, I fire 5 shots in real life and I'm still looking at my target.
