Of course, almost every gamer in the post-Soviet space has heard about the STALKER game. All three games in the series have become cult and have been loved by many players. The exclusion zone, which captivated and attracted gamers from around the world, gave many hours of interesting and unusual gameplay for that time. But now the “Stalker" has been replaced by a new game called Survarium. The system requirements of the new project have already been announced, as well as the plot.
Popularity and recognition
The game was so successful that it gained recognition and popularity not only in the vastness of the CIS, but also abroad, in particular in Germany. And after the closure of the STALKER project, the former developers created the Vostok Games studio and began developing the new Survarium game.
Disappointment
The stunning success of STALKER contributed to the fact that the players were looking forward to the release of a full sequel, and it even began to be developed. The art came out, talked about the plans and features of the future gameplay, the first screenshots appeared, but, unfortunately, Sergey Grigorovich froze the project. Following this, the successful studio GSC Game World collapsed. She gave the world a wonderful game "Cossacks", which is played by many strategy buffs so far. And, as mentioned above, people from the studio developing STALKER 2 create a new group - Vostok Games. It is important that in Survarium the minimum system requirements are the same as the maximum ones, but they can change over time. At the moment they are:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 2.0 GHz or Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+.
- Video Card: 512 MB nVidia GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 3870.
- RAM: 2 GB.
- Operating system: Windows Vista (Service Pack 2 + Platform update), Windows 7, Windows 8.
- Internet connection: download - from 128 kbit / s (up to 512 kbit / s with large ping and / or poor connection), upload - from 32 kbit / s.
New studio project
Vostok Games immediately begins working on its new project, a fundamentally new game, but adopting the idea of atmospheric STALKER. This is a Survarium game.
Game concept
Survarium tells the story of a new post-apocalyptic world that arose due to a terrible environmental disaster, but mankind has been able to survive, and now it has to re-learn to live. Of course, mutants and anomalies were not without. Survarium is shareware.
Gameplay
It became known that Survarium offers players several game modes online. They will be suitable for both experienced gamers who know a lot about shooters and beginners, for whom this genre is new. Since there are not as many modes as we would like, we can consider each of them in more detail. In the game, developers plan to create an open world and plot. It is not yet known what exactly this will all be and how it will work. In the Survarium game, cheats are blocked by a special program, nullifying a dishonest game.
Team play
This is an online game mode, the actions of which begin before the start of the so-called anomalous storm. Players united in one team should thoroughly prepare for it in order to stay alive and not die. Gamers will have to explore the location and find useful items for survival. Items delivered to the base should be protected from attacks by an enemy group of players. In Survarium game modes, system requirements do not change, so there is no need to worry about graphics.
Joint passage
This mode will offer players to solve the secrets and mysteries of the new world. Believe me, in this world destroyed by the apocalypse there are a lot of them. But will you be able to survive? It is possible that you will find out the cause of the disaster and be able to return everything to its place. In the mode there are whole chains of missions that the developers offer the player to go through together with each other. It is said that for owners of weak computers in the Survarium game the system requirements will be underestimated, but the characteristics of the hardware mentioned above remain official and remain unchanged.
Free play
Real hardcore for fans to survive in dangerous conditions. Here you can not only prove yourself, but also try to complete your tasks among the same players as you who survive in the dangerous world of Survarium in the same way. You can unite with them as necessary and jointly solve various difficult tasks, but you should also be afraid of them, because there are practically no safe places in the game, and it is impossible to predict what exactly to expect from others.
Battle system
Each new battle, each new defeated enemy makes your hero stronger, more cunning and more resourceful. All the experience accumulated by the gamer can be profitably spent. With the help of experience, you can develop shooting, physiology, stamina, medical abilities, and a number of absolutely unique skills will make your character unique and more skilled in battle. What characteristics will the character develop will be exclusively chosen by the player. He has several options for choosing a class: scout, attack aircraft, sniper, artifact hunter. But no one forces the player to follow just such a path, he can develop the character in a more balanced way and pumping the skills of all classes. Survarium cheats will not be available to fans of cheating.
release date
When the game comes out, it is still unknown, open beta testing has started today. This happened at the beginning of the second quarter of 2014. The game still has something to modify, and the developers are well aware of this, but overall Survarium is still a mystery. Nobody knows what exactly to expect from her. While it is known for sure that the game will require a constantly on Internet, and there will be no single player campaign, as in the same Stalker. On older operating systems, the game will not start, but you cannot call the system requirements of the Survarium game space.
Total
Although STALKER 2 is not, and not the fact that it will be, the development team was not at a loss and found application for its achievements and experience of the previous game. Studio Vostok Games offers us, in their opinion, a very promising first-person action game. Survarium is positioned as shareware, that is, downloading and installing it will not be difficult, but the game has paid content that can simplify, help or simply offer improved aspects of the gameplay.
But not everyone believes that this game will be as successful as STALKER, and there are many reasons. In Survarium, the system requirements are the same, in fact, as in their last game, only slightly overstated, so the graphics will not be original. This does not go to the brainchild of Vostok Games. But we will give the studio a chance, perhaps we will be delighted with the game. All fans of "Stalker" is strongly recommended to try this project in open beta testing.
