In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within.
It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s.

Good news, everyone! :)
Last post wasn't capable to contain all graphics features. So let it be another one.
- Improved shadow map resolution. Stalker engine uses cascaded shadow map technology, so quality of shadows depends on resolution of corresponding texture with shadow map. Normally you can choose this resolution by using keys for stalker shortcut: -smap1536/smap2048/smap2560/smap3072/smap4096, where number is shadow map texture resolution. Also, this resolution have huge influence on high quality shadow distance (r2_sun_near console parameter). Exceeding some max distance you will see annoying stripes on all of the surfaces. For example, for -smap4096 max r2_sun_near value is only 35-50 meters.
We manage to add new shadow map resolution - 8192x8192 (-smap8192). It works well on any videocards that support DX10 and have 512 Mb of videomemory (minimum GF 8xxx and Radeon HD 2xxx). On these screens you can feel the difference:
But that's not all :) There will be another key - -smap16384 which can improve shadows quality even further! But for get it working you should prepare videocard with DX11 support and 1,5 Gb videomemory on-board :)
- Thermal vision. Well, it is not actually infrared vision but some kind of it. We will add some devices with it so you can use new tactical moves in combat. Watch the video.

Well, that's because some of us know more about the engine than those whom wait for the game itself. Otherwise there'd be no point in doing so if we didn't. I only speak for myself, but for others i do not know.

back on topic and ignoring previous trivialities, I am indeed looking forward to this game with great intensity.
STALKER is my favourite upcoming game and it annoyed me to see you polluting this section with your useless flaming tripe. I've deleted all the unneccessary comments. Next person to continue with this little whinefest at modDB gets an autoban warning D:<
Enough
nvm....my bad.
STALKER just means "STALKER" there's nothing special about it. And it will not be told what stands for in the game. The whole game is about finding out what happened again and why things are mysteriously changing and why people are still there and why experiements keep happening with weird reports going on, at the same time as you find artifacts that are radiated with radioactivity.
They're not going to tell us what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for; we find out during the game! :P
