The envisionment of SIN is to bring you what was promised by GSC for STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, instead of the gutted retail release we were left with. SIN aims to cover every aspect imaginable from gameplay intended to genuinely scare the player, to graphics for the absolute best visual experience, cut mutants, absolute realism, optimisations, stability, and a complete game mechanics overhaul, all without breaking the story. The idea is to present the player with a complete retail experience for the purist that liked SoC but wished it was far more fleshed out. In no way what so ever does SIN try to be like old beta or alpha builds of SoC, SIN aims to enhance everything SoC already has and give it continuity with CS and CoP - nothing more, nothing less.
Get ready for some scrolling. As the subject was bought up about what kind of hardware would be needed to run TK fully maxed out in the last screen I thought I would upload this just for comparison\verification sake, and so you can all see theres no cheating going on by lowering the quality of visuals ;)
Now its really gorgeous
Have you changed the FOV?
Nope, just a little further back in one image than the other.
