Stunning new DX10 Tech Demo for STALKER: Clear Sky

Tejstar · 21 Apr 2008 at 19:24

Check out this video at VE3D. The technology really looks like something special.

It looks like it will help make Clear Sky just as atmospheric as the first game!

That looks very impressive.

I'm sure it will have a better atmosphere due to the volumetric lights etc, just hope that they add some good modding tools.

That actually impressed me, looks like DX10 is finally being used to good effect!

that looks very good. stalker itself is far from ugly but that really kicks it up a notch

Looks very Crysisy. The blowing dust effects are amazing though, never seen that in a game before. Not as good as that anyway.

really need to get a new card n Vista and make the most of DX10 soon

working now

Looks awesome.

With stalker even though it had unarguably dated textures the the lighting made it feel more real and gritty than mar more "modern" looking titles.

Add high res textures, deformable terrain (footprints!!) etc that well seriously kick backside!

Looks nice but I will not be impressed till they can do that with some real scale like MMO type scale. 10 years time maybe.

I know there's no pleasing some people, but wth?

"yeah, Crysis looked okay, but it wasn't *reeeaal*, so I think it's pap"

Rain drops looked cool

Herojuana · 21 Apr 2008 at 23:20

I don't know why but STALKER looked rubbish on my PC - even with everything on full it looked pretty poor :s

bfar · 21 Apr 2008 at 23:21

Shame STALKER's a crap game! They'll need to do an awful lot more than fancy graphics to save this.

TriedandTested · 21 Apr 2008 at 23:24

Hmm...and maybe one day they'll decide to bolt a decent game on to these oh-so pretty graphics. I'd rather have a great story/characters over a moody lightening storm and rain splashes any day of the week. They can even make the floor look wet....WET!

I guess. But then having spent the money on the the spec in your sig you'd hope it would look half decent.

Its not about being pleased, I mean how many times have you seen a tech demo over the years that looked sweet for its time but never trancelated into a solid game? I liked Crysis they had a good dig at the map scaling shame they didn't pull it of. " You are leaving the mission area"! Flashpoint is the sort of thing im talking about, its as if with the more eye candy a game get now a day the smaller it get.
