sanctified Veteran Posted May 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 19, 2004 the bloom in those screens its very adecuate since it happens only on those surfaces that can reflect the light. btw, the texture blurryness its still there but not as bad as it used too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bright effect you talk about... I think that's the bloom effect, which I am not a fan of....yet. It looked shocking in Deus Ex: Invisible War. edit Looking at those shots, some of those light ARE a bit too bright... @ANova: Thanks for the headsup about the 256MB 9600XT...I will avoid it.....is the 9600XT the "Bravo" model?

OrangeSoul Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 after all the game info i have come to realise that stalker is nothing more than a graphics whorefest and nothing more. It is just shoot em up. I dont think gameplay wise it can compete with HL2`s and Dooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmak Administrators Posted May 19, 2004 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2004 I think this will be a great title (after reading several reviews/interviews and hearing the makers talk about it on a gamers tv show) I'm buying it.

Chode Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Whoops, forgot to convert the currency for you yanks ;) $255 AUD (245 + 10 shipping) = $178.17 U.S. I'm looking at cards, and I'm not seeing anything that excites me in this price range.... I might just buy a new Hard Disk after I get my processor and call it a day. (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and all the other squeaks and whistles that ATI offers) This is why I suggested the 9800 Pro, I guess it depends on how bad you want DX9. The 9800 Pro will show a fairly significant improvment over your ti4200 in both performance and features, the 9600 will just show an improvment in features. btw, you really should watch the new HL2 footage. There simply is no game that comes close to it in character detail, development and level interactivity (because of the heavy use of the physics engine).

I think I will keep watching the prices and wait for the 9800 Pro to drop beneath $300 AUD. btw, you really should watch the new HL2 footage.
