    Cant wait for this, I love the Stalker games. SOC was fantastic and v original but loved the sandbox effect of COP

    thats all I've noted so far. I think the controls are a little clunky too but thats easy to get used to. Just played hundreds of hours in the Source Engine and im use to my avatar basically being a floating point camera with a model and a gun, not something that bobs around and reacts physicially.

    STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat are on sale on steam. €7.50 for the two of them.

    At that price I'm tempted to give it a go, though I'm not a big fan of difficult games usually.

    I've tried to start COP again but can't enable directx10, every time I try to launch a save with dx10 enabled it just crashes and I gotta kill it in task manager. Anyone have any ideas?

    Got it sorted, was the extra HD sky textures in the Reloaded mod I was running (not scene release Reloaded, I actually own all these games, believe it or not :D). Runs absolutely fine with the mod without the sky textures

    Basically its enabling the dynamic lighting which causes the game to crash. Its a v well known issue on this game and as usual theirs no patch to stop the problem. All you can hope for is uninstall/reinstall and play again.

    tbh what killed stalker for me was the obtuse missions/storyline..i usually find myself wandering around the zone weighed down with a ton of gear wondering just what the fook I'm supposed to be doing. :confused:

    Great atmosphere though

    Excuse me for being a newbie, but how is it gonna be playable on the xbox 360.
    The same way Metro 2033 and Crysis 2, two of the most visually stunning games out there at the moment, are playable on it.

    As I said Stalker is nearly all about atmosphere, not sure how they'll dumb it down for consoles and still make it good. Its also ridiculously hard, are they going to make it easier for controller players, if they do that they'll ruin it completely
    Fallout 3 and Metro 2033 didn't lose atmosphere on the 360, in fact they still played brilliantly. Seriously, do you two ever get sick of the console bashing? :rolleyes:

    I only recently tried the demo of metro 2033 on PC after finishing the game about 4 times on xbox. The difference in visual quality is night and day, it looks great on 360 but oh my days, the PC version even just running in DX10 mode just ****s all over it.

    Apparently 6 months after launch, the metro 2033 pc demo launched this week?

    Odd.

    Nah I was just messing around, only if you're using a 5770 or 5750 should it have low FPS.

    What? Going by some benches a 5770 would be lucky to get past 25FPS on 1920X1080 on DirectX11, and in my opinion anything below 30 is low.
