What I find astonishing is how well the game runs on my piece. Far better than Crysis... and far more fun. Speaking of which, I should really think of finishing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. one of these days.

As good as that looks, I sort of like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s old fashioned, scuffy graphical look. It gives the game an interesting look/feel.

The best place for Stalker mods is Here

As for mods that make Stalker look pretty, sky, Float 32, and this are all pretty good.

That is probably the reason why it won Gamespot's "Best Atmosphere" award for 2007. Which it most undoubtedly deserves.

STALKER really doesn't need much of a "high-end" PC in comparison with Crysis. My 2.667 GHz P4, 512MB X1650Pro and 2.25GB DDR-333 setup runs it on high with a great framerate with the newest patch.

If you were to throw some (good)HDR on top I'd truly be blown away by those screens.

From what I've heard about the game upon its release I think that the patches GSC Gameworld have released have done a lot already. Considering how poorly I run the Crysis demo compared to how well I run STALKER, the v1.0005 patch has done wonders.

Same with Oblivion. The only difference is I'm sure with STALKER there's less variance in texture/parallax work (which is a good thing, I don't like my framerate changing so fast).

Im glad the game lacks HDR to be honest...HDR is overused today.

Yea STALKER is an awesome looking game, some of the best lighting and textures around. I took this pic of stalker awhile ago that i thought it looked cool and realistic.

Judging from those screenshots... no, they do not look more realistic than Crysis. But I'm going to download the mod and see for myself.

SSCyborg

I played Stalker mostly maxed out at launch on my 7800gs. My computer is pretty low end and it handled the game just fine. I must try it out with the latest patch to see these performance increases for myself. But I never really had any performance trouble anyway, in case you were wondering

Meh,something about the trees in this game really gets me. They look so eery and chilling,I guess the whole atmosphere is that way but look at the trees in the last pic. They look pretty damn real to me.

the lighting still lacks, but the sky and other textures do look really nice (even if they look a little flat in areas).

Looks good, better than anything on a console, that's for sure. But it isn't quite Crysis-quality.

In the top 5 graphics in the world, best fps of 2007, anyone who hasn't played it is really missing out. It's longer and more free than Crysis, more sophisticated than Call of Duty 4 and has gameplay equal to or imo exceeding both of them. I love it, and everyone should experience the dread and isolation of the zone.
