Wow, this Oblivion Lost looks very impressive! How did I miss it I don't know, but I'm downloading Stalker now to try it.

The decline of gaming lololol
| Quote: | | Oleg Yavorsky: It's always our intention to make games for as broad an audience as possible, but we've never had problems with getting Europeans to understand our games, and we have had problems with North America and Asia. It's just a different cultural mindset that makes our local topics less interesting. |
| Quote: | | Yes. There is. Our games have always been hardcore, which has always been a struggle with publishers. Big companies always want you to make your game as easy as possible, so that any really non-intellectual person can play it. They want all sorts of tutorials to guide the player through, and this is something we've always been very resistant to. In our market we're used to having cheap games. That means all our audience play a lot of games and hence they're really hardcore about them - they want really challenging games, and they don't need to be guided through with basic explanations like, "This is your gun; this is how you move. |
| Quote: | | But then, everything, even up to the colour spectrum and how bright your game is, can be an issue. It seems that to appeal to North America you need really flashy, bright games, and you can see that every eastern European game is very dark. |

Infact you can just download any version of the E3 leak and copy the Data/Shaders/R2 folder over to Stalker but it'll cause quite a performance hit and the game will look very dark. (Shaders are more advanced and also not fully optimized as it's a older build, won't look like this in the final Clear Sky game as it looks a bit different if you check the latest screens.)
You can get the latest version of Sk4ce's shaders here:
http://stalkerin.gameru.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewtheoned&lid=227
(Warning, read the readme and configure the "modification" the way you want it, enabling all effects will cause a performance hit as the shaders are more demanding than either the original ones or Float32.)

Well, obviously it'll make your fps drop a bit, but it sounds very promising! I'll try tonight and if i have the time i'll make some screens with and without the mod ^^

To be honest, i see nothing in those shots that warrant bothering much with the new shader stuff. very minimal on the eyeballs really. For the most part i see bloom effect is on one shot there and that is all that makes it look lighter (dust cloud) or not.

Well, that could be a god ray, which looks less impressive on screenshots. God rays are better observed when moving. But i agree, it doesn't offer *THAT* much better image quality. But i'll give it a try, maybe it's better than these screens show.

Like said before, there are mods that fix ALOT. Oblivion Lost is strongly recommended with patch 1.0004 or 0005

Depends on what you mean with freeplay. You are able to just go anywhere you want, without doing the quests (depends on the scorcher and radiation ofcourse, etc.).
What i understood from the previews and interview is that it's going to be more free than the first STALKER.

I don't know how they implemented the limitations of the original STALKER in Clear Sky, but if they use the same restrictions in some areas, then it won't be possible. But all of that becomes clear when it's released.
My best guess is that they loosened some restrictions, as the Clear Sky explains how these restrictions came to be for some areas.

From what I've read CS have a completely different and more active & dynamic faction system which would enable something like Freeplay, ie. you can walk around and mess with the factions for a while instead of following the main quest. We'll see just what it means in ~2 weeks. The original notion of "Freeplay" may not be carried through, but due to the new faction system I believe gameplay should be more open and "free". We'll see.
