S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Half Life 2 beater?

I'm guessing no one has heard of this game yet else it would have been posted by now. This game has been in production for ages, and it looks amazing. Many people think it will be better than half life 2.

The game isn't linear like nearly every other FPS, its one massive world (30km supposedly). Its part FPS, part RPG. You gain money and experience, trade weapons and even buy vehicles. Buy a car, you have to worry about fuel. You need sleep and food else you will faint.

The game has a cycle of 90 virtual days and nights with weather effects such as fog, rain and even earthquakes and storms. Even the player details are accurate, get shot in your hand and the player can't aim properly. Wounds even have entry holes and exit holes.

The little things in the game sound great. If you're exposed to minor radiation levels in the city, you can drink vodka to help kill it. Drink too much and you get drunk and vision becomes blurred etc. I love the way you have to sleep, drink, eat to keep alive too. :)

There's numerous video's released of the game, they're pretty big but well worth the download. The game does look amazing running, the screenshots don't really show how good this game looks as the screens are from early builds of the game.

it is going to be close... i think that HL2 will have a very half life appeal in the way of it will be better because we have waited so long for it... Stalker will be good.. but not that good.. Stalker will also have better looking enviroments... than HL2... coz of its setting..

Yes Gary its for the PC. Most of the screenshots and movies released are over 2 YEARS old from an early alpha version of the game. I've also played the alpha that is dated May 2002, and it looks amazing and runs great on most systems, the engine is supposed to be one of the best engines ever made for a game.

But the best engine is doom3... that looks something different alltogether!! But who knows, the gameplay might not be as good as the rest. Ive played Far Cry and Half Life 2 and they are defently something special. Its gonna be VERY close this year!! Im gonna buy all of them, but i reckon that S.T.A.L.K.E.R will last the longest as its a strategy, but the others might be online!! Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R online??
