I see what you are saying Death. I think, definitely, there will be a parallel to Strugatskis - Roadside Picknick.
Btw, there was a movie made in 1979 after that novel. The name of the movie was Stalker. It was produced by Andrei Tarkovsky.

But, there is deep phylosophical concept and unique atmosphere in the novel, so, it will be just brilliant if game developers succeed in bringing Strugatski idea into the game.
