I'll put in a 4th vote.
As long as I get one too!

And I thought Oblivion was fun and engrossing - the screenshots look great with lots of HDR, especially the moon shot with the glow from the windows.

This is one game I have been looking forward to, even with the delays, I still eagerly anticipated its arrival. No point asking for a beta key as my current rig won't run it.

I'm just concerned that they actually get the bugs ironed out and have a good game ready to go on release day. As we've seen before, the little things can kill a game.

[fingers crossed] Please, please run ok on my lappy [/fingers crossed]

I know you probably don't want to say, what with it being a pre-release version, but what kind of system were you using?

Anyone want to vote for me to have a beta key???

Good God

From what you've said, this seems to be the 'perfect' game, and mabey those 6 years have been worth the wait. :D

i have this on pre order and so long as its a lot better than its spin off Boiling point ill be happy however i hope it doesnt use the same leveling system that Oblivion used cause that ruined Oblivion for me

You mean like Oblivion... Crashes all the time... It is now has a playable frame rate with newer drivers.

Been looking forward to this for some time, was one of the games I had in mind when I bought this machine.

what are the system specs for it or did i totally overlooked them when i looked at the screenshots and the nice story :)?
Tim S 7th February 2007, 15:53 Quote
I don't think the final system specs have been confirmed yet. We certainly weren't given final specs. :)

That does look pretty good. Seems like not only a great visual experience, but the game play seems like it will be top notch too. I doubt my 6600gt will be able to handle it though.

Oh look, it's a three year old first-person shooter with four very similar pixel shader effects.

Yawn.

Not sure this game is just a FPS - there seems to be a lot more tie into the environment and characters making it a hybrid of FPS/RPG. In fact, didn't the reviewer say just that?! :-D

Can you guys at bit-tech comment on whether enemy/dropped weapons are steal-able? Is this done via the kit salvage you mentioned? Like, I kill a sniper with a pickle-fork and I get his Barret M82A1? :-D

I so want to play this game...

"It would be lazy, but not wildly off the mark, to describe S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as Oblivion with guns. And radiation." :)

It looks like it could get me in trouble, like oblivion, morrowind, and gta with the large area and all the time I can play.

Has anyone else considered what this might be like as an MMO? Sounds like, in addition to being Oblivion with guns, it could also be WOW with guns assuming the Stalker guids were similar. Possible mod?
