- Hello stalkers, in this video we will talk about the Zone. We will see how it appeared and what are the main theories and beliefs surrounding the Zone, and we will try to answer an important question: Is the Zone really growing ?
- Hry
the zone is growing at the pace of my hype for stalker 2
Oh okay, so I guess it's growing quite fast ?
@@anomalousdugout9557 got it
everyone is asking WHAT is the Zone... nobody is asking HOW is the Zone :/
True, although the frequency of emissions can tell us if the Zone is upset or not !
What is the Zone? Short answer: Epiccccc
I suppose if the Zone reacts to your expectations, it's like a physical depiction of the Law of Attraction, the pseudoscientific concept that what you put your thoughts into is what you attract towards you in life. It's possible that that's why the scientists really don't understand the Zone very much, because, like the Law of Attraction, studying the cause and effect of human thoughts and real effects in the world is very difficult, if not impossible, in a scientific, measurable, and observable manner.
The Zone is the physical manifestation of the Cheeki Breeki.
Oh get out of here stalker, you cannot go there
I agree, all those Electric Anomalies must help power things - besides whatever the power sources for things like the C-Consciousness machinery is/was. Or Artefacts that manifested in place of prior-existing power sources.
thanks always wondered how the zone came to be
You can check the sources I talked about in the video if you want even more details !
Since Stalker 2 was announced, I became quite interested in this franchise. Thank you for this video.
Welcome to the Zone stalker !
Welcome to the zone stalker.
Here's your complimentary shit pistol and pda to tell us where you died so we can get it later
2 years later soon Stalker 2 will come out, we got blessed with a OG Stalker games release on Xbox so currently playing the shit out of that.
Stalker absolute best gaming franchise and Anomalous Dougout best Stalker youtuber.
Tell me, are you still in the Zone, Stalker?
Thanks for making the video! Just started playing Stalker and was curious about the zone's origins
Great, welcome to the Zone stalker.
loving your videos brother, I will share them with all of my comrades
Thank you stalker, glad you like them !
Ma maain love your work!!
Looks like you really know what you are talking about!
Greetings from 🇸🇪
Thanks ! I always do a lot of research and double-check my sources to make my videos, so I'm really confident in what I'm talking about for sure !
Glad to see newer videos about STALKER, I am currently in a binge to play all 3 games and then the Anomaly mod. Right now I'm in the middle of Clear Sky and I intend to end this run with a Vintar, Exo and a UPD compact. (after I blast the end-game with a RP-74 with at least 1000 rounds).
Nice, hope you have fun playing all the games.
@@anomalousdugout9557 You bet, (all vanilla) Clear SKy is kinda lame tbh and I had to crawl through a fence in SoC at the end of Priyat to fight the 3 rpg masters bc the game would skip me to NPP after the cutscene, which I never noticed before
A crack in the nosphere.....that could lead to another "places".....that kinda fit with the early game idea made by the devs....also could potentially have the same story with the original roadside picnic....with alien visitors and such..... Oh yyyeeaahh Mr.crab, can you feel it?
Well to be honest, no I don't feel it. Sure the base idea of the Zone is inspired by roadside picnic, but the main thing about the story of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is that it is a human story. A disaster made by humans, and that must be dealt with by humans. No aliens. At least that's how I see it, but you are free to have your own interpretation of course.
Ahh... It's one of those things that I wished remained unanswered. Knowing that the zone is nothing but an experiment gone wrong kinda killed the magic.
I see what you mean, but this revelation also spawned a lot of new questions and mysteries that remain unanswered. For example, how does the Noosphere work, what powers does the C-Consciousness really hold, how can we restrain or destroy the Zone, etc...
@@anomalousdugout9557 True. I hope they'll tackle them more on the next game and add more intrigue to the plot.
What if the zone isn't a rip but instead is acting like a bacon and magnifying the emotions that the c-con tried eliminating. Greed, violence,laziness and hatred isn't a uncommon thing to come across in the zone, and if anything seems to be more prevent.
Your channel is very good, keep going man
Thanks, I will keep going !
@@anomalousdugout9557 love the vid just subbed keep it up bro
I think it depends on the game, in Clear Sky the zone IS growing because the C-Conciousness has shut off the "generators" and the crack in the Noosphere is growing out of control.
C-Con allows this because they want the emissions to KILL STRELOK and perhaps they're also trying to drive the Stalkers out of The Zone entirely.
In Shadow of Chernobyl they turn the generators on because the blowout at the end of Clear Sky gave them a huge boost in man power and now they believe that they can protect the Sarcogphagous with their army and they no longer need to risk letting the crack in the noosphere widen.
In Call of Pripyat the C-Conciousness is either dead, or absent and the zone is growing out of control with no one around to stop it. Which is why Strelok joins the military, he's the only one alive who knows about the C-Conciousness.
I predict that Heart of Chernobyl will be about journeying back to the Chernobyl NPP, but this time we will be heading half a kilometer due East. To the so called "generators" perhaps we will finally be visiting that cut landscape from the original Shadow of Chernobyl build. But this time instead of disabling them, we're turning them back on, possibly restoring the two collapsed units to try and close the breach in the noosephere.
I also think the name generators is not offical in anyway, it was only found in cut content. And if we assume that they are the devices used by the C-Con to restrict the zone, then they aren't really generating anything. Well, maybe they are. But that's a discussion to be had by the writers trying to figure out how they work.
Also also its really fitting that the original objective of SoC (shut off the generators, stop the zone) is actually what happens to the Wish Granter/Monolith. You smash some generators and it seems to vanish.
yup
Enjoyed much as usual, you sound different got a new microphone? Anomaly 1.5.1 is out, downloading, now, can't wait to play it!
Thanks, I still use the same microphone but I had to change the settings and setup, not sure if it is better that way. Good luck in Anomaly stalker !
I believe the lights in the underground are lit for gameplay purposes, just to give you a break from using the torch, and to sometimes enhance the atmosphere: you can't exploit darkness if it's always dark.
Well yeah it does help with that, but considering the level of though and detail put by the developpers into the world building of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I really think there is more to it.
@@anomalousdugout9557 1 year late but,
well, the c-con did say that they reactivated the labs to keep people out of the center, that could mean they re-activated the lights as well
This was awesome 😎😎😎
Thank you.
My favourite youtuber no cap
I used all my caps for the thumbnail :D
Great content
Thanks !
I've been watching your videos since last week it's awesome how you explain and give info about the details of this game, I played in 2014 but until now you give the inspitation to play all the collection again UwU
by the way have you ever talked about the cut content or the hellish development of STALKER?
Thank you very much. I've though of making videos about cut content, but it's been made by many other channels already. Therefore, I try to focus more on things that I believe have not been covered already.
My theory is, that the zone is a punishment for all the people to try interfiere within things we all dont understand. Living a life without anything bad is like eating your favourite food every single day of your life, the more day passes, the more disguisting it is.
2:15 can hear the player Stalker being hurt by the emission in the background. *_topkek_*
Indeed.
Where is this guy from?
Love his accent!
Keep it up, great video.
Thanks.
If you go to his about page in his profile,it says ukraine
So yeah,that one is a pure S.T.A.L.K.E.R
@@Wunderwolf Disclaimer: I am NOT from Ukraine.
@@anomalousdugout9557oh,okay,guess i was wrong
But still you are a pure stalker,because you have a lot of knowledge about the zone
In nature, all things are either in equilibrium, or in a process of achieving equilibrium, such as it must be with the Zone and the Noosphere. The latter has existed for all of human history, yet there has been no record of anything like the Zone from before 2006, so surely an unblemished Noosphere is one such equilibrium state, and the Zone may be moving towards that. And what part are the C-Consiousness playing? For all we know, despite their claims, they are still trying to control the Noosphere and the Zone, basically "picking at the scab" and preventing the wound from healing, even making it grow larger and stronger.
Now i wonder, if it's so impossible to traverse the zone by air or land vehicles. Then how did they put the heavy portable science bunkers there? It also seems impractical to have been constructed from parts on the spot.
Its the soul of the slav
Oh that's why I could not understand it :)
@@anomalousdugout9557 me neither, seriously though i wish they had stuck to the roadside picnic theme of an alien visitation. That way the zones secrets would never be understood
Finally a new video
Yeah sorry about the upload schedule, I'm doing my best but there are other thinks I need to deal with obviously !
Its fine mate
How cool do you think it'd be if you could use artifacts to spawn big anomalous traps in S2? Like making a temporary giant electric anomaly in front of you that kills everything at the cost of an artifact. I'd love that
This concept was actually planned for Shadow of Chernobyl but ultimately scrapped, so I would not be surprised if it was to appear in the upcoming game. I think it's a cool idea but after using it in various mods, it doesn't seem to be as useful as one might think. Also the fact that you lose an artifact is pretty sad. But still, it would be a nice mechanic to see.
i agree with freedom personally
When freedom proves itself wrong
I know! Aliens landed on our planet and left some... ohhhh it's not a book :(
Yeah, close but not quite.
I think the lights on the labs are just something the devs forgot and didn't think about lol
I don't know, considering the efforts that they made on the atmosphere and level details, I think it would be a bit ridiculous to have them forget about this. But who knows, maybe you are completely right.
Well there's a few questions we can derive from the information given that are entire topics by themselves
First, the Noosphere consists of the 'information field' of earth, this includes not humans but all its inhabitants, does that mean a higher concept like the 'emotions' or 'thoughts' of all beings or the literal material manifestation of them, ie the electric activity of neurons and synapses?
Second, We know those energies that compose the Noosphere are 'psy' energies and that they have a physical material effect, and psyonics are separate from any of the fundamental energies known to current physics, but how does the noosphere would normally function without the zone being a rift in it? Do the Psy-waves of the world flow normally without interacting with the physical world and the zone is the only place where there's interaction? Are the actions of humans reflected in the Noosphere, like the C-Consciousness implies, that affecting the Noosphere can change the behavior of humans, does the opposite applies? Is the nature of the zone being dangerous a reflection of humanity outside?
Third, If there's an energy leaking into our world through the zone, from where is that? Is it just the Noosphere spilling into the physical world, or is there an implication that the rift in the Noosphere is bringing something from another world in? Aliens? Another dimension?
Well there are a lot of subjects and question on which we could spend hours discussing. I have my own beliefs, but they hold no value since they are not backed up by any evidence. However, I do plan on making a special video in which a more precise theory on what the Noosphere is and how it works will be presented.
I believe the biosphere is powered by sentient consciousness and that it doesn't exactly deplete so long as people are around. The zone to me is more like a door or entrance to where the sphere has a more a physical presence without being bound to the rules of reality. It's interesting how people's perceptions of the zone cause it to change and how new mutants are being created over time. The area has seen a lot of cruelty and evil people looking for personal gain between the scientists' experiments or bandits or the military who've gun down stalkers innocent or otherwise.
With the c consciousness theoretically gone the only thing controlling the zone is the people there. The scariest part of this idea is that the more people know of or obsess over the zone the larger it gets with a tighter grip over the real world.
I suspect some of that is answered with what else goes on in the Zone..
The C-C itself is focused on the outward world Noosphere but as it is, the experiments IN the Zone influence it the most. And they (the scientists of X-labs) conduct horrific psy-mutant experiments, inside of it. Meanwhile loads of well armed STALKERs and military ops add to it.
As far as the Anomalous aspect, I wouldn't doubt if it is like a Warp/Wyrm-hole in part since the blown hole in the Noosphere is likely, as said, going somewhere else. Even if it's a pocket dimension the 'prison zone' represents.. meanwhile every Psy-storm kills things and the Noosphere may play a part in recycling all the death and spiritual energy (or consciousnesses traumatized and taken there) and making more.. anomalies and things.
Dipping into 'woo' topics not mentioned in the series beyond that, like the notion of Ley-lines or psychic energy flow you mention.
The zone reminds me of the capital wasteland before the Enclave get there hard but peaceful
If the zone is really growing, it'd consume most of Ukraine and the southern areas of Belarus.
Well it depends how fast it is growing really.
Are you playing/following the Anomaly standalone ?
I have played it in the past, but to be completely honest, I've not played anything else than vanilla for quite some time now.
I am the one who made the chanel have 500 subs
What's the total size of all the three maps combined??If the size of the map is bigger in stalker 2 compared to all the current stalker games maps combined then it's growing...cause I heard it's gonna have all the maps combined...total of approximately 40km...more or less like that...Probably....just saying...
According to youtuber Bitochek, the total size of the playable area from the 3 games is 8 km², while GSC announced that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's Zone will be more than 60 km². This does not mean anything however, since the first metric does not take into account the space between the locations. Moreover, most of the maps were only located south of the center of the Zone, which means that there are many more areas that we don't know about located to the east, west and north of the power plant. Perhaps those will be included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 as well.
@@anomalousdugout9557 oooo!!! I didn't think about those areas!! Yup! I think you are right....
Dutyer be like:Fredoomer don't know we destroying zone for protecting people outside zone
Well maybe, but can they even protect people inside the Zone ?
@@anomalousdugout9557 for some reason i have two perspective about Duty. first an organization that protecting innocent people outside or inside zone By destroying zone In the manner necessary. two a Fool Factions that dumb enough to destroy thing like a zone. You question about Can duty protecting People inside zone? Well sometime they can,like fights against other factions such as the Bandits and Mercenaries, who extort Loners for personal gain. and second thing sometime Duty can't kill some enemy Factions Group Even though the group was only a few people. So Duty was Factions That can protec innocent people Instead of getting themselves killed.
Thx for reply Sorry i can't Respond to your reply for 6 days
@@veteranloner9892 Yeah I understand.
@@anomalousdugout9557 alright BTW keep up with S.T.A.L.K.E.R content and can you discussing how factions formed? That might be an interesting topic
@@veteranloner9892 No worries, I'll keep doing videos. I don't think there is a lot of information on the creation of factions, but I'll add the idea to the list, maybe it will become a video one day.
The zone is alive
Maybe, we don't know for sure.
I hate freedom. Duty #1
Even tho its Cannon, does anyone actually believe the tale of the troikaq, I mean noosphere?
I guess it depends how you understand the concept. Personnaly, I believe the Noosphere in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a physical field where the brains of intelligent creatures transfer their thoughts in the form of energy, or something like that. When this field was cracked by the C-Consciousness, it started to leak this energy, which is the source of power for anomalies. But this is just my interpretation.
