Blowouts?

[King DaMuncha]

One of the unique things in the stalker games were blowouts and psi waves. were they stopped in the previous games, or are they still in the game? for me it was a cool game mechanic and forced me to stop and take a break while I watched the fallout for a few minutes with everything settling to a calm. Then after the blowout was over, off in the distance you would hear gunfire from the bandits and soldiers coming out of hiding.

In the game.

What are psi waves by the way?

[King DaMuncha]

in Anomaly there were two types of blowouts. The nuclear blowout from the CNPP and the Psi Wave blowout from C Con.

Blowouts are a must for such a game

As for the PSI waves or stoms those are more common for mods

So why are you mentioning it if it's a mod invention? How's that "one of the unique things in the stalker games" if it's not in STALKER to begin with?

[King DaMuncha]

its a blowout. so I mentioned it here.

It's fanfiction.

[King DaMuncha]

...anyway. I'm hoping to see the big blowouts from the earlier games.

Do you mean those psy-emissions that create mutant apparitions in Shadow of Chernobyl and optical distortions in Clear Sky and Call of Prypiat?

He's talking about the fan made psi emissions that pop up in various mods as an alternative to the actual emission. Official games have no such thing.

Blowouts are a nice mechanic that adds some spice. But what's the point of having two different types, if both of them work the same "quit anything you're doing and find a shelter until it's over", anyway?

Ah, those emissions that lack the red skies from the originals, huh? I always thought those were just regular emissions with visual changes.

It's the same thing, just with a different coat of paint. Instead of dying from an emission wave you die from a boiling brain. There are also chemical emissions and it's the same deal, just with a green coat of paint.

It's pointless but more importantly, nonexistent in the base game, so I don't understand why he said it's "one of the unique things in the stalker games" when it's not even in STALKER in the first place.

As said in the previous posts, they are in the game. You can see them in multiple trailers.
