Update: GSC Game World has Announcement on Twitter that they are canceling plans for NFT in STALKER 2.
“Based on the feedback we received, we have made the decision to cancel everything related to NFT in STALKER 2,” reads the post. “The well-being of our fans and players is a top priority for the team. We’re making this game for you to enjoy – whatever the cost. If you’re interested, we’re also. care.”
NFT cancellation comes an hour or so after Stalker’s official Twitter account tweeted a much longer image to explain their decision to include blockchain technology. In that post, they apologized for the “miscommunication yesterday,” but said that GSC Game World is an independent studio and that all proceeds from the sale of NFTs will be “dedicated to improving the game.” play has been long awaited.” However, the tweet was deleted within minutes of being posted, and the cancellation followed.
Good.
Original story:
The original STALKER had several endings, and here’s a trailer for one of them: if you spend time in the Zone stuffing money in your pocket, you’ll get a “greedy” ending. The protagonist asks the legendary ‘Wish Granter’ to be rich and immediately sees the gold coins pouring down on them; except, it’s not gold coins, but a crumbling ceiling. Your greed destroys you.
Saying the same point with more brevity, EXPERT 2 there will be NFTs.
GSC Game World has announced the “STALKER metaverse”, which allows players to own in-game items as NFTs. This includes what GSC calls the ability to “become the first superman” – effectively the ability to appear as an NPC in the game.
Their website mention this as the start of “our Super Bridge”, which will give three players the ability to appear as an NPC. “Whether this will be a bartender, a teammate or an enemy, the NFT owner will be there for everyone to see. A super bridge, photometric technology, high fidelity facial animation with Personal simulation brings a new digital era and unique meta experiences to you’ like never before.”
The STALKER’s official Twitter account tweeted to say that it is “not a blockchain-based game”, that the NFT has no game prediction and is “totally optional.” There will be free NFT giveaways for community members.
In an emailed statement sent to The Verge, GSC Game World CEO, Evgeniy Grygorovych, further explained how the in-game spawning process will work.
The idea of the relevant NFT is to give the power to recreate the owner’s identity in the game through one of the NPCs. That person will need to come to our studio to do a detailed scan, and then we’ll have everything in place to get this person to appear in the game world as one of the characters.
There will also be other NFTs in addition to the three metahumans.
Blockchain’s involvement in games has gained a lot of attention over the past few months. The executives of Ubisoft, Take two and Electronic art all expressed an interest in this technology. Ubisoft was the first to dive in with Ubisoft Quartz and three NFTs for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. In the past week, Peter Molyneux has joined, sold £40 million in NFT for his unreleased game Legacy. Things are awful and I hope the Guardian wipes it all out in another ironic twist.
