It looks like its gonna suck anyway, looks like a horrable mix of Dues Ex, and vehicles. Not to mention Doom2 has better first person wepon models, damn they look awful.

nah dude, stalker is gonna rock, its a full non scripted game! everything happens in its world of its own accord. shame its dalayed again tho, when was it first announced for, Sept 04?

somebody will probably steal part of the source code next

I hope they take as long as they need to get it right rather than taking "ah, itll do" attitude. Scary to think that this will be one of the first (only?) FP game to take the sandbox theory since System Shock 2 and run with it: Deus Ex maybe but that was still on a level based game.

Doom 3 never interested me in the slightest, and HL2 was actually better than I expected, but this is the one Im waiting for. I just hope its not dissapointing.

KilOit · 02-02-2005 11:14pm

it really looks rubbish,
it looked good when it was first announced but now looking at the screenshots
and video clips i have to say it looks ****e

CombatCow · 02-02-2005 11:29pm

cheers CC, convert the unbelievers!

this game will surpass all fp single player games in graphics, physics, and gameplay... and will be king until oblivion or unreal 3 comes out.

Ok first screen, the grass looks pizelly as fook, and it being a PR pic, it cant be the res's fault, therefore, the grass looks pants. Not to mention the horrable reflections in the window, they look poo.

2nd: wow, a building im impressed, HL2 buildings look at least as good, more often than not better

3rd pic: look at that pose, looks gimpy, not to mention the pistol looks like it was photo shopped in later. (however this is the best of the 4 pics)

4th pic: The chopper looks no better than the one in Desert Combat for battlefield, the fire from the back of it looks pretty much the same too, and there we have one of the pathetic in game first person weapons, I simply cant get over how bad the first person weapon models are.

Im still waiting to be impressed. :rolleyes:

kinkstr · 03-02-2005 1:21am

Hope the delays are worth it, ive just been looking at some clips, heres one that caught my attention
Right click
The lights and shadowing look impressive to me

po0k · 03-02-2005 1:32am

Looks alot like Flashpoint

Which is a good thing.

To the nay-sayers: fscking plebs.

kinkstr · 03-02-2005 1:35am

Flashpoint with Bloodsuckers and cherynobl dogs!

BlitzKrieg · 03-02-2005 6:26am

who cares about graphics...

SANDBOX!!

FREEDOM!!!

FUN!!!

these are why i want it!

Anima · 03-02-2005 11:46am

Yeah the first thing that came to me when I saw it was Flashpoint. I think its the digital camera textures for the weapons, skins,etc. Gives that horrible strecthed effect and everything is too sharp.

Looks like a good game though.

As Doom3 proved ... looks do not a great game make.....

And i've yet to be convinced of how good Stalker will be in implementing its 'Sandbox'. Further, if the AI isn't up to scratch, the sandbox wont really matter .....

Lex_Diamonds · 03-02-2005 12:55pm

Flashpoint looked ropey when it first came out, but it ****ing rocked.

Im afraid that Stalker will end up joining the infamous DNF in development hell! :eek:

But will never be as bad since DNF will always have 8 years of development hell ahead of it.

ah.. the freedom of it all...
whatever about physics\graphics\whatnot if it delievers on its promise of freedom then I'll very quickly part with monies for it..

I really liked that trailer they had where the player sneaks up on the 3 rival stalkers talking around a campfire - they notice something and one goes off to check while the other two continue on chatting.

As soon as the first searcher gets sniped the other two jump up, and the impressive part is they dont automatically home in on the player straight away but start "recon by fire" blazing away in the direction of the shot because the AI cant *know* where the player is. No lazy shortcuts in AI there I think.

That the sort of thing that makes me think this game is going to be special. Theres indications that attention to detail has been paid to the AI and the game first and foremost. If it only looks acceptable or adequate compared to a technical demo like Doom 3 - well, so be it.

Tusky · 03-02-2005 9:37pm

It looks great. Those screenshots look slightly photo realistic. Ive been waitinf for this game for yeeeears.
