S.T.A.L.K.E.R (released)

You serious?!? It's working PROPERLY on all objects? Can you give us some more screens?

Does this mean that there might be an AA patch for the english version?

 

Hold on, ill get in game.

 

The screenshot above of the guys left wrist LOL.

 

Not the greatest rendered wrist I've seen in my gaming history :\
Even doom3 looks better

I wish you could visualise gameplay Cause I think the gameplay of this game might be actually quite interesting
Any comments of players?

 

All Stalker reviews I have read until now on- and offline have all said that AA is working and the framerates are good. Maybe the stuff floating about in cyberspace really is not up to spec? I should have my copy on Friday and expect full AA.

 

Maybe the air in chenoble is getting to him starting at his wrist, lol.

 

This game has SERIOUS issues with 100.95 drivers on XP.


User beware. Multiple blue screens, etc.


I suggest using 97.92's as stable release.

 

whats the difference in the russian and english version ??

 

well after some more playing i can only say WOW and specially those lighting effects they are very well done, and i don't know what's going on atm in the game i have just been killing bandits about two hours in same place and there seems to be no end to it! Great fun!

 

Thanks for that OrionRU.
Although some are saying that it doesn't have quick save, could you post a screenshot of the menu showing the quick save option?

 

Can you check your pm orion?

thanks

 

Trust me its there.

 

Any updates?

 

Few more screens, no HDR for now, ill turn it on later. I guess AA is working, but not on everything.

Here's HDR shot:

 

maybe you are just bored to death Scene doen't work like that man They acquire the original and make it playable without original CD, and then store it on the net for backup purposses The more people back it up, the greater the chance to find it again if your HDD or original that you bought breaks down :knock:

anyway, back to the game...

 

Hm, as I suspected. It looks pretty much the same as the english version looks here. The in-game AA works on some objects, like weapons, people etc, but not on the straight lines like power lines, roofs etc.

Oh well

 

I'm really enjoying this game , and its suprisingly difficult. There are a few negative elements but for me , they are outweighed massivly by the positives.

Negatives
* AA dosnt want to work , which is quite irritating forcing it via drivers dosnt make a difference.
* The graphics are a bit of a mix and match affair the sprawling land mass seems to look quite dated
* More than a few irritating bugs in the soundsystem - A very poor alarm sound loop is more than irritating when at one point you have to listen to it for about 20 mins untill you get the opertunity to shoot the bugger
* The charecter models and animations are odd to say the least
* No Quick save , you wont appreciate how annoying it is (I tend to die alot)

Positives
* GREAT AI I really can't stress how well they behave when not facing grenades. (One thing I have noticed is that they dont seem to recognise the threat of an incomming grenade presents [BUG?])
* Interesting storyline - If you take the time to read the PDA entries and listen to local lore you really feel a part of it.
* Great general gameplay , its just a really fun game to play. I think half the attraction for me is the difficulty , even on normal I find myself having to think of different ways to do things and looking for the best way to approach a situation.
* Good atmosphere when your down in some abandonded lab and you can hear cackling in the distance you know theres a poltergheist about that you wont be able to see untill its on top of you. Couple that with only having a flashlight to see by the tension hits up.


The game feels abit like Boiling Point to me , but without the massive bugs stupid car handling. I think the thing is to remember not to expect anything like a F.E.A.R type FPS , its more of a cross between Oblivion , FarCry and Boiling point. And to be honest for a hybrid it hasnt come out looking to bad , and its probably the first FPS to hold my attention since FarCry / HL2.

 

There is quick save... its F6 button

 

jeez i already said the game dont support AA, the game "AA" only blur a few things.

 

Oh dear that should stop me having to pop into the menu every time I see a hoard of military thugs.
