AMD 64Bit Suport!

Woking, Surrey UK, 01 September, 2004 – THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced it is working closely with AMD to create an optimised version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl for the impressive AMD AthlonTM 64 processor architecture.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is expected to leverage the strengths of AMD64 technology to provide an immersive gaming experience with a larger playable world, more detailed surroundings, better AI, and more people per map.

"AMD has been working closely with THQ to help bring games, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., that really show the benefits of 64-bit gaming to the market," said Monica Behncke, director, AMD Customer-Centric Marketing. "With the powerful AMD Athlon 64 processor offering the best performance and the only 64-bit choice in the desktop processor market today, we are confident that the upcoming 64-bit version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will deliver unprecedented realism and mind-blowing performance."

Roger Carpenter, Director, Project Development of THQ UK Ltd said, "We are very excited to be able to take advantage of the latest AMD Athlon 64 processors. This opportunity could present a quantum leap in gameplay and gaming technology which simply translates into more excitement for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. players."

EDIT: Current version is 10 CD's big!

Myth invents S.T.A.L.K.E.R snork talk

While moving Snork often stoops or squats, examining the ground and mumbles strange new words. Snork's vocal chords mutated as a result of radiation exposure and living in wilderness. The grey or black PDA-3M respirator on snorks face adds an eerie reverberation which throws Snorks voice making sounds appear at an offset location.

No hits on google btw... it really is a new word for the zone.

XA04,

Theres a ton of them, Some where around 12 vids and some trailers... theres also footage from there tour at ground zero....

utdmleach,

The last release date was in may... so this delay should be at least a few more months....

OV3RCL0C3R,

Cause it has the most advanced AI ever created and they want it to be perfect... Keep in mind this game has been in the making for almost 7 years... The surrounding world in stalker is totally uncontrolled and completely un scripted! Creatures have basic needs, Food sleep and reproduction. They multiply and die just as they do in real life! Same goes for the other stalkers.... Thats what makes this game a break through in gaming history!


If yous want more info go to this web site... http://stalker.myexp.de/en/index.php It's the number 1 stalker site at this time and is always up to date...

Well this is the theroy.. The game was originaly greated around directX 8. But now that theres next gen Gpus there reworking all the shaders and suposidly adding SM 3. Never the less the game will be out this year! There is a rumor about the date that can be found on amazon.... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...games&n=507846 "June 30, 2005" This date was updated after the pres release of the date change... So it could be the new releease date...
