This thread has been linked to the game 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl'.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really looking forward to this. The graphics look impressive enough, but I really like the sound of running around a slightly over the top post explosion Chernobyl, scavenging, looting, hunting down opposition and taking on nuclear mutants. Only a few months wait; this looks like a very playable concept .
this game is epic some should make a thread for call of pripyat

I certainly hope not, becuase I'll end up wasting a Gameaday win or £30. The gameplay will be important, but graphics and concept count for a lot as well. If it is a flop, I will be incredibly disappointed. All I can say is this: Thank God I didn't get Driv3r.

I was going to preorder this back with UT2004 (19th feb) but i decided the wait would kill me, anyway, it does look very nice indeed however there were reported bugs in the enemy AI which made them a bit dumber than they were reported to be.
Fingers crossed.

Very true. It does look very promising, but that all-important gameplay must be up to scratch, otherwise we'll just end up with a glorified technical demo.
The actual premise and setting look great, the haunting surroundings of the old Chernobyl look really well realised, and I just hope it's a good game when it finally arrives.

It's a game I've been looking forward too for a long time, it's got a lot of promises to fulfil but if it gets even half of them spot then we're for a very special game indeed.
It should be worth pointing out to those who haven't heard of it before that it isn't a typical shoot em up and certainly shouldn't be compared to games like Half Life 2. It's more of an RPG offering up over 50 hours of game-play, a massive world to explore at your own free will and a story line that changes depending on certain actions you take during the course of the game.
