the look and level of ambition is amazing.

Yup, it reminds me of star citizen in terms of ambition, when you look at all similar genres of recent and put them side by side you can see how much more attention and love is going into this and SC.

I hope they pull this off it would be able to pull me back into the survival zone.

They will bugger it up and add Pay to win microtransations

Definitely possible depends on how they handle them. Micro transactions can work if done right.

I know there is a lot of micro transaction speculation surrounding this game so will keep my eyes peeled.

Russian devs. It will be expensive and p2w if they have microtransactions

Anyone had a blast yet on the alpha?

I'm tempted to give it a whirl but it's not clear if all content is contained in the alpha or whether you are only accessing certain elements.

This doesn't look like the same game I saw a couple of months ago, this could be game of the year for me but I bet it'll be buggy.

I taken the gamble and pre-ordered it. sale on the site bought for £33 its a gamble but that video above made my mind up.

About the same chance that I have of maxing it out on my GTX660.

Looks pretty poor graphically, that alone puts me off fps games nowadays.

Should max it out at 1080, remember 780ti was a £600 card and equal to a 980, i can max out all my games at 1080 with my 780ti, and i have most of the latest games.

Really? I think it looks pretty nice. Each to there own I suppose,

Seems like a lot of dev time sink into low level weapon mechanics and degradation, etc. that won't actually add anything to the end product that couldn't be done with fast approximate versions of those mechanics and 99/100 those elements just get in the way of an otherwise good game and turn off all but the most hardcore players with nothing better to do with their time - find me one person who actually likes the weapon degradation in Far Cry 2 for instance

I think the same, looks nice. It's interesting though how people view graphics differently. Like i LOVE the borderlands graphics but not many people do.

With FPS games a lot of people look at them and expect cartoonish graphics like the BF series. Then when sharpness and more photo realistic textures and motions come into play they think it looks bad. I think this is possibly something to do with the uncanny valley with it being on the brink of creepily accurate. with stuff like star citizen all the game BAR the players are kind of exempt from this as they aren't stuff we are familiar with. But in Tarkov trees and buildings can all look eerily too good. Either that or they are blind?

About the same as this not having a pay to win economy.

My eyes are perfectly fine mate, that looks less than average, depends what you class as "good graphics" I guess, my standards are high.

Just for our own reference here, what pleases your high standards? what do you consider to be a graphically superior game?
