GP: Are you worried about being compared to Duke Nukem Forever due to its numerous delays?

The players will forgive us for any delays once they get their hands on it and experience what the game has to offer. We are not afraid of being compared to Duke Nukem Forever. They should be afraid of us.

GP: What led to the repeated development delays?

The thing that took the most amount of time while making the game is the life simulation system. If we were to just create a linear game, like many other FPS games, we would have already been done with the game long ago. The extra time spent really makes a difference in the gameplay. The world in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is huge and extremely detailed, and it took time to do it just right.
