Chode Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 And shot #2 Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like stadium lighting in the left of the image.....I thinks this may be the abandoned sports stadium in Pripyat (Can be seen in the GSC fieldtrip photos).....I remember the field was overgrown with trees. Woah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwanders Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 And shot #2Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like stadium lighting in the left of the image.....I thinks this may be the abandoned sports stadium in Pripyat (Can be seen in the GSC fieldtrip photos).....I remember the field was overgrown with trees. Woah... that's definitely the stadium. You've go the light in the top left. the paved area is the track, you can see the bleachers in the distance... awesome screenshot. I haven't read a lot about this game...but are they going for a very realistic mapping of the areas that will be played in (in the same way True Crime made an accurate street map of LA)??

Chode Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 The story is that it's set in the Chernobyl/Pripyat radioactive exlusion zone, in the very near future...not much is known about the story except that you explore a fricking huge area in free form gaming. The trailer released which is known as the "Day/Night cycle trailer" shows us real lightning in game, complete with lighting effects. And if it is the stadium, here is the photo from the GSC photo trip...looks similar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 the leak played VERY well on my GeForce 2 (30-35 fps) so I'am going to be supprised how well it will run when its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuka_t Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 the leak was dx7 i htink the real game is dx9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 the leak was dx7 i htink the real game is dx9 Well, according to the design brief, the game shall run as Dx7, Dx8, or Dx9. The leak was Dx7, the screenshots are Dx8, and GSC has shown nothing of Dx9 yet.....all those screenshots are Dx8 :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted February 18, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 18, 2004 awesome screenshots. this game is done very well. exploring huge area with daynight cycle, radiation, mutated animals and other human explorers and everything looks real. if i had a vote between this and halflife 2 again i'll pick this one. the physics are awesome too.

Those are some insane graphics!I wonder how much I'll have to upgrade my machine to run it You won't unless you want any dx9 effects they happen to add into it. They started with dx8 to make sure it runs very well for everyone. I think this is going to a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qoa Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 It doesn't on my card. If I turn luster on everything chugs. Stalker will be intensive, don't get me wrong, but it wll run fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 We can't guarentee good performance....the only hands on test of performance we've had is a leaked beta from years ago that had poor to non-existent AI. According to the Official FAQ: Q: What are the system requirements of the game? A: A touchy issue. System requirements have been changed several times. In the end, the support of video cards of the generation of GeForce2 was cancelled. Now, the minimum requirements are GeForce3/Radeon8500 and P3-1GHz. It will be possible to comfortably play on a P4 with half a gig of RAM, and a video card from the middle of the range of GeForceFX or Radeon 9xxx. The maximum appetite of the engine tends towards infinity. So the approximate requirements are CPU: 1GHz RAM: 512MB GRAPHICS: GeForce3/Radeon 8500 So, if these requirements hold...I'll be running it comfortably on my Athlon XP1700+, with 512MB of RAM, and my GeForce 4 Ti4800 (for running in Dx8 mode, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacid Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I've seen and played the S.T.A.L.K.E.R leaked alpha :) and it runs pretty decently, no lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qoa Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Compared to a lot of the games that have been coming out, those are pretty low specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 Compared to a lot of the games that have been coming out, those are pretty low specs. Well, those are minimum specs, not recommended. Like Half Life 2, the engine can scale back for older hardware. Remember, HL2 has the specs of something like: Windows 98/2000/Me/XP 700 MHz CPU 128 MB RAM DX6 compatible video card 3 GB free HD space Which is actually a little less than S.T.A.L.K.E.R now I looks at it :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 yeah, but HL2 is also able to run on your grandmas integrated Intel Chipset video card. it just looks like HL1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
