This game looks absolutely amazing and anyone who has a high end PC should pic this game up ASAP, it does not only have superior graphics technically speaking that closely rival Crysis' and in some cases beats it, but its graphical level artistically speaking is breath-taking with its rich atmosphere and mood.

Just take a look at some of this video of the first 25 minutes of gameplay and make your own judgement:

It is extremely pretty. I loved the gameplay of the original STALKER. The only concern I have is that the DX10 features will destroy my rig.

It's optional.

I had some issues with Shadow of Chernobyl when I brought it home on launch day, but all those issues were patched up within a matter of days, and I was able to experience the brilliance of STALKER. I am counting the days until I can get my grubby paws on Clear Sky.

I never hype a game before I first see the review.

No great game ever does. Both Dead Rising and Lost Planet on the 360 were hardly talked about let alone praised and out of every single major game I've played for the "next-gen" consoles (GTAIV, Halo 3, CoD4 and BioShock), those are the one's I've enjoyed the most.

Man, I thought Lost Planet was pretty bad. Especially that Rick guy.

How does the dX 9 compare to the 10? I put back dX9 on my rig and don't want to get dx10 untill they fix it...

I'm getting Clear sky of course but I'm not as certain as everyone on the graphics, hope it will hold it's promisses... The first one looked great on pics but turned out not that impressive...

For me, hype tends to ruin a game. It sorta ruined Bioshock and Crysis for me, although they were still good games, just didn't live up to what it was hyped up to be. I'm sorta glad that this isn't getting all that hype though.

I try not to hype a game too much because my expectations end up becoming too high and then I become disappointed.

But Clear Sky isn't letting me not hype it a lot. It just looks so damn promising that it's really hard to ignore.

A single poor voice actor is not a detriment to great arcadey shooting.

Speaking of STALKER, I'd figure to add this vid in.

Really, really nice.

The whole game was pretty poor. It was pretty, though.

PC games don't get hyped that much, they sell on merit. I remember the Witcher wasn't hyped that much on SW but it is one of the finest exclusives and sold pretty well.

Stalker has the best atmosphere of any game I've ever played - leaps and bounds ahead of Bioshock.
