What exactly do you want to see 242?
I want to relive the great great SoC experience, or at least something close to it. More precisely I want SoC, but with new maps and objectives/quests. I hope the atmosphere will be close to that of SoC, more lonely than in other two games. Coz it's probably in my top 3 games of all times.

I'd love to see the combination of SoC & CoP, as you mentioned, Axom. After playing all three (SoC, CS, & CoP), I remember wishing that SoC had contained some of the options of CoP, such as being able to 'sleep', food that would increase your health, and weapon/armor repair & upgrades.
I am SO looking forward to September!

Okay so you guys want info then.
Let me put it like this:
1. Survival plays a much bigger role, taking bigger chances rewards more... but your chances of survival is slimmer.
2. You are human, you need to eat and drink and sleep.
3. Each and every map in this game is completely new, even if it does resemble some old build, we've added loads to it.
4. Side quests are nice, they have meaning behind them. And if I'm correct, can alter the main storyline.
5. Maps are big, and not VERY lonely. Most of the time a map would start out with about 30 other people in it, but within minutes there will be less then 10 left.
6. Your reputation in the game is everything!
7. Military are much smarter now, they adhere to the general military rule of not firing unless fired upon. If you provoke them, you're on your own.
Anything else?

Is there a good reason to carry a pistol, and can you put some shotguns (like the sawn off) in the secondary slot? I've always felt the pistols were a little pointless in Stalker. I used to carry one for seeing off the little bipedal rat things, but it generally wasn't that big a deal. I guess because AR ammo was so plentiful.

Well yeah, for one you'll get a lot more pistol rounds compared to rifle rounds. Shotgun rounds are also a bit more plentiful. Only pistols can be equipped in the first slot. This is very much a remake of what the original S.ta.l.k.e.r should have been, so it won't cater for every person's needs. Though so far I'm loving it.
Also keep in mind when you finally get the game, to find ammo in the first 2 maps is extremely rare. So every single bullet counts. EVERY SINGLE BULLET!
Most of the creatures have also had a bit of a revamp. There are new creatures also. New sounds have been added to them. And most of them fight differently now. Bloodsuckers are very mu7ch the same as the one's from COP for instance. Don't turn your back on them!
Oh also... rats. RATS! They are evil, camp in groups of 20 or more and can hurt a lot in a large group like that. Shotguns are preferred in these situations. ;)

I'm looking forward to this too, if it's even half as good as it seems it'll be the best thing I've played in quite a while.

Do you guys have any more questions for me?
Something interesting to note is that we're trying to do all cinematics in-game. So no post-processed videos. Everything you'll be seeing will be in-game. Turns out people prefer this to nice looking videos. We don't mind at all though, the X-Ray engine has it's quirks when it comes to these things.
Also game contains no QTE's! :D (Quick Time Events - really hate those demons)
