Stalker: Clear Sky was due to hit shelves next week Friday, but developer GCS Game World has just confirmed that you'll have to wait a week longer.
Set in 2011, Clear Sky is a prequel to the Ukraine-developed Stalker (without all those annoying-to-type dots, if you don't mind), based on the nuclear powerplant disaster of Chernobyl.
"S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky introduces an alternative look onto the events of the original game and offers the player to try himself out as a mercenary s.t.a.l.k.e.r. in search of his own path in the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R." Too... many... dots...
"The game is created as a warning to mankind against mindless play with technologies," adds the press release. Most people organise protests and punch police, tie themselves to trees or climb government buildings and shout like angry homeless people to deliver such profound messages to humanity. Developing a videogame to do it... that's a new approach.
