What sets Scar apart from the rest of the motley crew that populates the Zone is his resistance to the deadly ’emissions’ – mysterious waves of energy that emanate from the Zone’s centre. Unfortunately, it seems as if the game it wanted to make may not be quite as good as the game it released the first time around.Ĭlear Sky is a prequel to Shadow and the player takes on the role of a new protagonist, Zone mercenary, Scar. With a new publisher in tow, GSC had another bite at the cherry with Clear Sky.
Developer GSC Gameworld had trouble converting its open-world vision into something that satisfied publisher THQ and as such compromises were made in Shadow’s design.
Considering the troubled development period behind Shadow of Chernobyl, it was surprising to hear that Deep Silver planned to follow it up only one year after its release.
