How Shadow of Chernobyl changed during development (Oblivion Lost prototypes and beta versions) PCGI 2020-12-28 | If you enjoyed this video, you can check my Patreon - patreon.com/pcgiIn anticipation of a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 (hopefully) coming next year, I've decided to take a look back at Shadow of Chernobyl. This is a very special game for me, but it's a notorious victim of its own ambitions and hype. After 6 years of troubled development, it went through several redesigns and ended up being a completely different game that developers promised to deliver. From Oblivion Lost prototypes to pre-release versions, this video includes rare alpha footage and tells a story about why Shadow of Chernobyl changed so drastically before release day.
