I have to say that the screenshots do not knock me out.  They look average and only in line with what we currently have available through other packages.  Where's the leap forward that gives the 'WoW' factor?  (pun intended)

Erm, the AI???
The fact that you can play the same mission 10 times and it will be different every time???
If the AI can do that, I couldnt give a toss about the graphics tbh

Agreed, the one problem with HL2, imo, is once you've completed you know exactly what is going to happen and when!  The way the Stalker AI is being touted, will mean a new game experience on every attempt.

That should help keep its playability going, handsup all those who've completed HL2 and gone back to it since (tried to, but got bored very quickly as it wasn't new anymore :( )

I was more meaning the AI. The visuals look similar to what is currently avail although some reviews do say that the visuals are incredibly detailed. Time will tell I guess.

WEll, it should be like the deus ex 2 that we all really wanted. Invisible war was a bit of a flop :(

Some rather nice screenshots (60 of them to be exact)

Screenshots (http://www.stalker-game.com/nw_screen_view.php?type=screenshots&img=60)

My favourite is number 7 (http://www.stalker-game.com/nw_screen_view.php?type=screenshots&img=7)

i am particularly impressed with the way thewy have handled the sky and perspective - distant things look distant and the sky doesn't meet the earth half a mile away as in some games

Aye - I've been waiting for this one for so long, its July release date passed me by. I was most unhappy when I checked up on it now it's August and found it'd been massively delayed again. I can't find out a concrete new date either - some reports say December/January, while others have it for Spring/Summer 2006 :(

edit: that first media link is actually old movies, but they're all worth watching. The second link crashed my browser, so I can't coment on it. Damn Mac.
