One question: What do you mean, when you are talking about a "monster PC" is needed to run the game smoothly? Can you tell us the system specs? Thanks a lot!
This gave us a decent frame rate at 1280x1024, 0xAA 8xAF.
So, you can see why we hope the performance gets sorted out before launch :D
Sounds a bit much for what you get graphically... 4GB RAM??? I doubt you ate into anything over 1536MB unless you are running Vista. An 8800GTX should perform better than that, hell Oblivion which is the worst coded game in a long time runs at 1920x1200 with AA and AF on that kind of setup...

Would you be pissed off if I told you (Tim won't he's too nice to admit it) that it was just some parts we had lying around :)

Nah, no-one would be pissed off.
Out of interest and totaly unrelated to the above, where specifically is BitHQ located and do you perchance hire a night watch(I can't even type night watch man as one word now? Swear filter madness!) man or any have any form of electronic surveilance?
Nice write up. I have been following the Russian community @ stalker-portal.ru closely and everybody is pretty excited about this game.
One question:
How does the combat feel? From videos a lot of it seems very chaotic and fast, with quick cover-run-out-guns-blazing-Rambo-style. I am worried that this might ruin the "survival" part of this game.
I have been watithing for 4 years for this game to come out, well I think it has been 4 to 5 years since the project started...

What were you running it on though? I'm sure that you managed to get a good frame rate at 1600x1200 and that would be a good performance indication...
Core 2 Extreme X6800
GeForce 8800 GTX
4GB RAM
X-Fi Fatal1ty

I like the idea of Deus Ex style again though :)
I can't wait

Our offices are here in, uh, the Scottish Highlands.
Brrrr!
I was sure you are based in/near Bedfordshire...
