WOW!!! This game looks great!! I just watched the DX10 tech demo and it really looks like real life! The Rain Mapping and water running down signs and surfaces! Unreal! I am highly anticipating this game. Hopefully I will be able to run it with everything turned on with no stuttering, probably not Sad. I am going to have go through STALKER to get up to date on this nice world.

STALKER already looks great, that they are making it look even better is impressive but it wouldn't be the first thing on my list of priorities. I have no performance issues on my end and it's incredibly atmospheric at night with your flashlight and equally creepy Very Happy

Shame I don't like the linearity of the game.

Seems to be true based on posts on the official forums and some files/comments on TPB.

Link to the official forums

Link to the Gameinator site mentioned on the official forums (Doesn't contain downloads links or such, just some screens and videos.)


EDIT: Used the console to tweak the settings a bit, game looks fantastic. Smile
(Also runs quite well. / Default settings were a bit low compared to how it could look.)

 Spoiler:
 

(I modified all sorts of other settings as well but I didn't explain all of them, not really needed as most are the same as the previous game and thus already well explained.)

I was a bit disappointed with how the game ran to be honest (DX9 mode). I ran into some of the exact same problems that happened in certain areas in the first STALKER, namely that the game would be running really smoothly and pretty much flawlessly and then, seemingly from outta nowhere, I'd get a really nasty FPS drop that would stay with me even if I change the settings around. The problem is solved if I reload the game, and *sometimes* solves itself when playing. I'd really wished for them to be able to remove those problems (from what I've seen, there are other people suffering from it as well). Hopefully it can be removed before the release.

I also thought the level itself really sucked. To much artificial "corridoring" even though it's an exterior. Then again, I tend to not like swamp levels in games.

I dunno, I'm not gonna judge the game based on this of course, but my impressions from the demo were not good.

Hmm, I didn't think the game looked all that different. I tried with JBeckman's settings too. Game looks okay, but nothing special. Is DX10 available in this demo?

No it's only DX9 (Early version of a E3 demo from what I understand and there's no DX10 DLL files or such in the Bin folder.) and most of my tweaks are mainly to increase view distance (And detail of distant objects) together with a slight increase in texture quality (r2_tf_mipbias) so it won't make a massive difference on visuals but it will increase quality to the same levels of the original game with all settings maximized. Smile
(There's quite a few other settings that could be adjusted such as lightning and similar but I left those at default as they don't really alter visuals/performance but mainly change how the game looks.)

EDIT: There are visual differences between Stalker and this demo/beta build though, such as sun shafts, depth of field and soft particles among others.



(This is enabled by default though, no need to alter it in the console unless you want to turn it off for performance but this will make the sky more dull and not as vibrant.)

I thought the original game looked great, models and especially the hands of the player could have used some more details but the advanced lightning and shaders really increased the visuals.

Still think it's one of the better looking games and the engine was great albeit there were some issues left even after patch 1.0006.

Use a few modification like the ones listed below and Stalker still has some impressive visuals even compared to more recent titles but it's definitively showing it's age since it's been in development since early 2000 when the first screens appeared.
(Levels are a bit undetailed as well now that I think of it such as the "forest" in Cordon/Escape.)

Weather Overhaul

EDIT: E3 2007? thought it was a demo meant to be shown during the upcoming E3 2008 event, no wonder then if things are a bit different, must be a alpha build or such.

Friend , is a very limited demo, to show the game in the E3 in july 2007. Not is for play.

JBeckman , this demo has new features - sun shafts , volumetric light , soft water and particules , DOF ... but algo many assets of the old "STALKER" . The final game will be better

Yeah I noticed that it was a early version (Such as pressing ESC and seeing the old Stalker 1.0004 main menu.) but I had no idea it was that early, still nice to see parts of how the game will be even though it's probably changed quite a bit by now. Smile

Yeah, I know. But that FPS thing I mentioned have been bugging me forever, and if it's there in Clear Sky as well I'll be one sad puppy.

As far as STALKERs looks go, I still think it's one of the best looking games I've played. Not because it goes all-out graphics whore mode, but because the game really uses the graphics to enhance the gameplay and the atmosphere, and because the visual design is absolutely gorgeous. I'd take STALKERs visuals over Crysis any day of the week.

demo or not, it looks good, pity they still have the huge crosshair in the middle of the screen, it just takes away the atmosphere, surely you can set it to be smaller?

I'm glad it isn't. AI is more sophisticated and there is an actual game here.

jonelo- nice pics, but i didnt mean for you to remove the crosshairs, i was remarking that they are the one thing that, IMO, they REALLY fucked up, they are just too big an in your face - i was curious if its possible to make the crosshairs smaller in game?
i have stalker and have checked out the clear sky "demo" and both impress me- having said that, i havent really looked in the options to see if its possible to change cross hair size
