looks great but i really dont ever think games will reach replicating real life until maybe 5080p tvs 0.0 or something

Us PC gamers can already play at resolutions of 5060 x 1050 with Triplehead2go. Resolution means nothing.

Resolution has almost nothing to do with it. It's all about proper lighting and textures.

People that disagree have obviously never played the game...

Someone is particular. Stalker has some of the most amazing environments ever.

I know that. I have it on my PC right now (never beat it though). It is one of the best-looking games, but it doesn't look like real-life in these images.

i think it was more to show how accurate the recreations were than how the graphics look like real life. still looking at the pics of just Pripyat is really eirie (sp? lol)

yeh. spookey to think of this adandoned town where no1 goes anymore (for obv reasons). Not exactly the same but i recently went on holiday all around eastern europe and visited Sarajevo. was crazy to think the seige only happend about 14 years ago and theres plenty of evidence around (bullet holes cover everywhere etc)

Holy jesus I'm an idiot! ::facepalm:: when you mentioned Chernobyl, I thought Call Of Duty: MW. So I first googled Chernobyl and read about the explosion. I than googled Chernobyl COD and it's the ghost town mission. Now I'm like well no fuc*in duh it was deserted and radiation is in the game. Damn I feel completely retarded for not knowing that. I think I learned about that in school, but I dunno, I was only 1 when it happened.

Totally agree!
