the imp texture is blatant, but the water...seriously water_normal is as basic as you can get...i bet there are tons of games with a 'water_normal' texture. that and i dont think they look the same...

In other news, Valve promised a response but had to delay it 5 years.

Stalker had been in development way before HL2 was even thought of. Its just been delayed for many years.

and the only way they could get development to go any faster was to steal dumb textures :rolleyes:

I have followed the game rather closely ever since it was announced. I remember it dating back to early 2001 and then it showing up at every one of the E3's after that. In early 2002 I saw an early alpha stage at E3. It looked extremely good. My feeling for its delay was that they ran out of funding.

Maybe they didnt run out of funding but they were just waiting for HL2 and Doom 3 to come out to get some "ideas"

EDIT: This was a joke post. That is all.

The bloodsucker sound was stolen from Space Ghost Coast to Coast (seriously), it was the sound his seamonkey made.
