Why GSC abandoned the mini-map

pantishkin · Mar 1, 2026

Почему GSC отказались от мини-карты? Многие на релизе жаловались на отсутствие классической мини-карты.
Оказывается, её разрабатывали! Но в итоге пустили под нож ради горизонтального компаса. Разработчики решили, что мини-карта занимает слишком много места на экране и рушит погружение.

«Почему мы отказались от мини-карты? Как вы можете видеть, мини-карта очень большая. Она занимает довольно значительную часть экрана, наша цель всегда была сделать игру, чтобы она воспринималась реалистично, чтобы вы могли погрузиться в нее. Поэтому единственный виджет, который находится на экране, — это компас. Другие виджеты при различных обстоятельствах могут исчезать, например, если у вас полная шкала здоровья, вы не видите этот индикатор».
