PCGH had the chance to check a final version of Stalker Clear Sky:
The system requirements of Stalker: Clear Sky vary widely depending on the chosen settings: From a P4 with 2.0 GHz to the Core 2 Duo E8500 and from a Radeon 9600 to a HD 3870 X2 almost everything is represented.
Review - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky should be seen as an expansion rather than a full prequel, but it is one that fans will enjoy nonetheless.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games have greatly influenced the Eastern European games that came later. In this, the second of a two-part miniseries exploring these influences, we investigate the gameplay mechanics that make "Stalkerlikes" what they are.
DSOGaming writes: "RemasterStudio has released the first beta version of a graphics overhaul mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. STALKER Clear Sky Remaster ports the game to the latest version of the X-Ray Engine, and introduces a lot of modern-day graphical features."
they are not too bad, stalker has always been a demanding game.
my pc will run this very well
Well I can run the game with optimal settings, since i dont have vista installed
But good lord! Extreme settings require 4GB of RAM *and* Vista!
I'm still not upgrading to Vista just yet. XP Professional serves me just fine, and since I have PAE enabled i'm about to buy another 2 GB of RAM, bringing my total GB up to 4.
I'll hold out till next year, or around the holidays to upgrade my video card. I've got an 8800GT overclocked edition and I run the original Stalker on maximum everything. I need to hurry up and beat it so I can play this.
great my new 1500 euros desktop will run fine the Extreme requirements ^^ ( will get the computer in a week )
I can currently handle optimal settings and perhaps in the future I can have extreme settings after I upgrade.
