S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl

[Dyno]

Amazing looking next generation FPS out later on this year.
Could be another contender for Half Life 2's crown. The physics looks great, the graphics and textures are unlike anything else i've seen. Even the gameplay is original. Set in the ruins of Chernobyl in 2012 (or thereabouts) it's just one large 30km square open level. You can wander around shooting anything that moves, or be stealthy, steal trucks etc from the Army's checkpoints. You can meet with other 'Stalkers' and trade with them, buy new weapons etc.
There's a Day/Night cycle, so you can choose to be a day stalker and sleep by night, or sleep all day and stalk stealthily in the dark.
All in all, it looks like an amazing game, original and realistic. WHIT AH LIKE, MAWN.

Been waiting for this for about a year...just keeps getting delayed

[Dyno]

I reccon it'll be better than HL2, from what i've seen of it.
Too much hype going on about HL2, if it had been released when it was supposed to i think it would have done alot better, money wise.
BUT, time will tell.
4-6 amazinf FPS' out this year (Y)
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Far Cry
Joint Operations
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl
Half Life 2 (azif, 2005 mate)
Doom3 (same)

Gonny be boss!

You'll need a fast processor to play Joint Operations.

Fooking 100 player servers.

Early version of this game had some notable flaws... in particular the pish AI and crappy, unimaginative enemies.

Not really. I have a 2.8GHz processor, works smooth as a baby's bottom with the demo.

But it's not out until the 4th quarter of the year, plenty of time to work on these things. From what i've seen from the video clips, and what i've read, it looks awesome.

2.8GHZ is triple and a bit more than i have

The only thing letting me down on thsi pc is the Geforce 4 MMx piece of shit, when i get money i'm getting a whole new system for the pc in my own room, everything except a sound card, really. Don't need a case or monitor or nowt. gonny cost a bomb, even after waiting for the prices to drop!

Money needs to be comming in first

Holy necro-bumps, Stalker is still alive!

And apparently fantastic. 'Like a radioactive Oblivion' eh?

I can't wait until this finally gets released.

Those words sure are tasty, after I've just eaten them!

Anyone else playing this? I'm hugely let down. It's good and all, but there's been so many promises broken and so many things taken out that it's not the same game I was looking forward to 3 years ago
The graphics aren't that great, despite how demanding it is and it isn't as freeroaming as they'd have you believe!

[Tomm]

Agreed. It looks at least a year or so outdated, plays very blandly and I don't really feel like I have much of a choice in where I run about too!

[Moldiver]

Is it just me or is this game realy really hard?
