S.T.A.L.K.E.R. coming to 360?

Ashta - 710 days 13 hours ago

Yes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a good game. I have it for PC and it's a pretty good FPSRPG.

Kinda like Fallout (sorta) but a little bit more limited and brooding. It's also pretty darn difficult. If the 360 does get this then it should be a good buy.

It's a pretty good game. It's a bit text heavy though, because there are no spoken parts. Your pretty much left to roam at your discretion, since there isn't a lot of direction on what you should be doing.

Jesus calm down man. look at it this way your Ukrainian breathen will now make alot of money by making 360 games because we 360 owners buy lots of games.

I did not say anywhere on my comment that xbox owners are the only ones to buy games. I just mentioned that we are known to buy alot of games.

My crappy old laptop with a 2ghz penitum M, and a 6600 GT GO can run this on max on 1024x768 with around 32~40 frames...

yeah blademask you were a little hasty with that comment- S.T.A.L.K.E.R's graphics aren't exactly going to force you to rape your own arsehole with excitement

moses, that's because you have dynamic lighting turned off. Dynamic lighting makes a night and day difference.

It's kind of buggy because THQ pushed the devs to rush the game out, so there still are quite a few kinks they have to fix, if they fix the bugs for the 360 version, it will be great.

1TB?!? Overkill XD!! Get a 500 GB HD and use the saved money for another gig stick of ram.

yeah im building an uber-PC too this is what im planning:

Intel quad-core 3.2 ghz, 12mb L2 cache- and will OC it to 3.3ghz
8Gb (i sh!t you not) of DDR3-1800 RAM and OC it too 2000 (although i will wait for the ddr3 latencies to come down before i get it)
GeForce 8800 ultra (maybe get two for SLI) or maybe the new 9800 card if it comes out by then
1TB (or more if it comes out) HDD 7200RPM

sound good? lol i can't wait it should max out crysis (although if it comes out for ps3 i will get that instead for the bonus content)

@moses

i disagree, 1TB isn't overkill considering the amount of space required nowadays (for multi-media fanatics i mean) so in the long run it could turn out to be a good investment

and bundle that with the fact that 1TB drives are surprisingly not too expensive so yeah it's a good idea

@jaja

i see what you are saying man, but i do my research and i am only trying to be future-proof, i admit that 8gig RAM is extreme overkill in it's most purest, but hey 10 years from now.... who knows?

i am fully aware of the stuff you mentioned and i am going to wait- these are just my desired specs for the moment, i will wait a while for ddr3 prices and latencies to reach very low standards and yeah il probably wait for the 9800 to truly max out crysis

i am getting a motherboard and case with excellent cooling so i guess i can go further than 3.3ghz, but i am a little paranoid when it comes to OC- so i probably wont go further than 3.4 or 5

@charlie

yeah your right, screw the 8800 ultra thing, im sticking around for 9800 in SLI- i don't like to brag, but i would like to point out that money isn't a problem for me especially since i have contacts that can get me high-end parts for free

@heyheyhey

I agree with the quadcore, 8GB ram is overkill, 32 bit windows can't even support 4 gigs, 64 can, but 64bit has poo support for applications. Also, the 8800 ultra is the top of the market, but by far the most expensive, save a few bucks and wait for the 9 series to unfold.

I guess you're right, if you're into to high def media downloads :P, I've lived 10 years with a 32 gig HD, and I'm constantly deleting stuff -_-. I would by happy with a 120 gig HD >_<.

8 gigs of RAM? See now your just falling into the bigger is better line that so many people fall for. There is no single application that exist today that uses more than 3 gigs. Hell even the heaviest of games, such as Crysis, don't even touch upon 2 gigs. The only real use for that much RAM is if your doing on the fly CG/movie rendering and even then your going to be bottled necked by the CPU.

Also the 3.2 is easily overclocked to a steady 3.6 or 3.7. I've seen a 4.1 somewhere though I forget the site.

Also that setup will not max out Crysis, there is no current video card to date that can run Crysis full blown.

Also DDR3 has the same performance(currently as DDR2) but with a higher price tag. And the Quad Core which has the design to be better(not faster) than the current Duo Cores, the sad truth is most software does not make use of the Core 2 left alone the Quad core. The best bet is to get a Core 2 Extreme with a motherboard that is capable of Quad support(which most new ones are) and just wait.

I'm not trying to bash you or anything but you really should do some more research before you go out and buy the most expensive thing.

@heyheyhey: you are better of getting 2 8800GTS 512 for SLI than 2 Ultras since they will be cheaper (A LOT) and give you the same if not a little bit more performance 8and they run MUCH cooler, you could also buy OC version of them for even more perf for the money)

still you should hold till NVIDIA attacks with the 9000 series to see what they are offering

edit: also remember the best mobos right now specially for OC are the Gigabyte ones (also with their Ulta Durable 2 feature they last a LONG timeand are VERY reliable plus the on board extra cooling is a plus)

same as moses 8GB of RAM is over kill and you will be just wasting money I have 4GB from which most of my applications (games/job) use max 2GB and 3GB sometimes, unless you are gonna do some HEAVY rendering you should get 4GB tops, but for the processor you can go crazy cuz its never bad to have a VERY good one
