S.T.A.L.K.E.R uses Doom3 assets

[D3ads]

Don't forget that ID do sometimes use other people's assets, for instance all of the Quake 2 sound effects were created by Soundelux Media Labs (credits in the game manual), so ID don't always make everything.

That's not to say that Stalker haven't 'borrowed' these assets, as Thrik has pointed that having 'imp' in the filename is probably direct proof that they are ID's original (unless imp means something else like 'impact' ? I doubt it though.

As for Half-Life 2 assets I wouldn't be surprised if those are widely used in lots of titles, they're not exactly the most exclusive normal maps...

As a hobbyist i think its not that fair.

It's possible that someone just ripped them & put them ingame as placeholders, then forgot to take them out. If it's not been sanctioned by id, honest mistake or not (who knows?) it's not the smartest thing I've ever seen.

Did anyone actually go through and compare and see if this wasn't actually a Photoshop?

Heh, seems like a lot of work for a joke, plus people on SA are saying there are sounds in STALKER that are obviously from HL2 as well

As for the 1 april issue.. I don't think this is an april's fool. For a joke this one would be extremely bad, concidering the impact it has on the company..

Doom 3:

STALKER:

Slightly more saturated... it would be hard for anyone to find out if they would atleast change the names instead of just adding "lights_".
