S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat takes PC gamers once again into the vicinity of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor that exploded in 1986. This so-called "Zone" is a highly contaminated area cordoned off by the military and now is combed through by the so-called stalkers, modern fortune hunters, in search of unique artifacts. In the role of Agent Alexander Degtyarev, who is dressed up as a stalker, the player has to investigate the mysterious disappearance of five military helicopters.
Did you ever wonder where legends, sagas and characters like elves, gnomes, dragons and mages - the races and creatures we typically refer to as fictional fantasy archetypes - come from? As we say - There is no smoke without fire. If any gossip and writings get spread around, there must be some link between what was imagined and reality. Even an authentically candid lie or skillfully disguised fiction bears links with true to life events.We are breaking the seal on the door to myths and legends; the entrance to a world where magic was commonplace, the gateway to Empires long ago extinct. The memories of them were methodically erased from the public consciousness, and have remained in oblivion for ages. Now, the time has come to take a step through that door leading to a distant reality where mysterious people lived and their societies where lived heroes keen on defending their lands until the last drop of blood. You will find the truth about what happened to that ancient world of magic and why our knowledge of it is so scanty. The game Heroes of Annihilated Empires is the key to that world's door.

On the October 12th, 1492 a squadron of three battered ships was relentlessly driven by warm wind towards one of the Bahamian archipelago isles. That sunny day became the day of New World discovery and encounter with its inhabitants. The aborigines gave the uninvited guests a hearty welcome. The latter repaid them in kind, by generously bestowing glass beads and other trinkets on the natives. No words can be found to describe the joy of the newcomers when they took a closer look at the gifts from the locals: they were of pure gold. That could mean only one thing - these peaceful lands have faced an unprecedented disaster. It was not a desire to explore the globe that urged European rulers to outfit expeditions. It was a far cry from noble incentive that forced Columbus and many of his followers to make their way to the New World. These expeditions had only one goal: capture as much gold, silver, spices and slaves as possible, and the means to obtain this goal did not matter...Epic real-time strategy with historical backgroundCaptivating real-time battles with up to 16,000 unitsCovers the era between 1492 and 181342 versatile missions in 8 thrilling campaigns e.g. Pizarro's Expedition, the War of Tecumseh, the Seven Years War and the American War of Independence6 historical battles in multiplayer mode9 separate single player missions12 different nations and tribes: Spain, England, France, Aztecs, Incas, Mayas, Sioux, Delaware, Huron, Iroquois League, Pueblos, USAOver 100 different units and 106 buildingsTactical formations for infantry, cavalry and artillery using officers, drummers and standard bearersRealistic artillery effects, including gunner squadrons transporting and loading canon, as well as detonating cannon ballsFighting morale is influenced by victories, defeats, food supplies, equipment and mercenary payApart from the wide range attacks, all shooting units can fight with swords and knives (Cold Steel Attack)All buildings can be attacked, occupied and defended by troopsFortresses, forts and log cabins provide defensive advantages; units can also be accommodated and trained thereMap scaling provides an extensive overview of the fighting action through a unique zoom perspectiveHuge maps and fascinating landscapes in four different climatic zonesDetailed animation of all movements, including loading of weaponsIntricate diplomacy system allows players to build alliances with neutral tribes to trade for warriors and raw materialsNatural environment can be used strategically: caves as hiding places or ambush starting points, hills extend the shooting rangeMultiplayer mode for up to 7 players via LAN or the Internet: Deathmatch, historical battles, automatic championship system and global rating system, War For AmericaDetailed random maps in various sizes and with multiple settings for unlimited gaming fun

Under low settings, the MBP ended up around 10% faster overall than the Dell Studio 14, which has the HD 5470 (excluding the StarCraft II number). The Alienware M11x, ASUS N82Jv, and Gateway ID49C remain quite a bit faster, as expected, while the ASUS U-series end up significantly slower. The other integrated solutions (9400M, HD 4200/4225) are comparatively woeful. With the G 310M, you can play basically everything in our benchmark suite (except Mass Effect 2) at native res, lowest detail settings. With the other integrated graphics solutions, you need to take the resolution down a few notches to get anything even resembling a playable frame rate.
West Games, a studio founded by former GSC lead developer Eugene Kim,[13] had launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for a spiritual successor to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise in June 2014, under the title "Areal".[14] However, this drew widespread criticism and was described as a scam, with its trailer entirely composed of footage from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games as well as purported screenshots from its development being revealed as modified assets from the Unity engine's "asset store", which West Games claimed was "media-fabricated".[15] The project drew $65,000 in Kickstarter funds, $15,000 over its original goal of $50,000, however it was permanently suspended by Kickstarter in July, citing guideline violations.[16] After cancellation though (West Games had at first claimed to have switched to private funding on their website to fund the project), they announced another crowdfunding campaign on the Wfunder platform in December 2014, setting a much larger goal of $600,000 to produce a new game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Apocalypse.[17]
Near the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, GSC, based in Kyiv, released a video on their YouTube account which called for financial aid for the Ukrainian Armed Forces,[24] stating that the outbreak of the war and the need to protect GSC employees has led to the game's development being paused indefinitely. This was also followed by a Twitter post which linked to an account to donate to the Ukrainian military and stated "through pain, death, war, fear, and human cruelty, Ukraine will persevere. As it always does".[25][26][27] On March 14, 2022, the game's subtitle was changed to "Heart of Chornobyl", reflecting the region's native Ukrainian spelling rather than the Russian one.[28][29] On June 14, 2022, GSC stated in a development diary that the development continues despite some of the team fleeing their homes or joining the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[30] 2ff7e9595c
