So Old I'm Losing Radiation Signs
I can't help but think this is going to be an outdoors Half-Life.
But, then again, I enjoyed Half-Life, and STALKER looks dark enough to keep me drawn in to the gameworld.

Half Life with weapons that aren't as clean apparently...
I like the rugged aspect to the weapons.

dude, it will run on my current pc. not everybody here still has a 800mhz with gf2 you know... if you want a pc being able to handle the newest graphicly advanced games you have to be prepared to upgrade every 3 years or so. and 5000$ for a game pc? dont make me fucking laugh...
as for "stalker = hl2 outdoor":
if you guys actually believe that than i suggest you go look for some more information about the games... only real link between the 2 is that they both will have top of the line graphics (if your pc can cope with it that is) with a good fysics engine and both will be first person shooters, but thats where the simularities end.

Not HL2 outdoors, Half-Life.
I said that because from what I've seen of the screenshots, you're fighting hideous monsters and military types in a science-gone-wrong gameworld.
Its more a matter of style than mechanics. If they were fundamentally identical, then STALKER wouldn't have large outdoor environments.

still dont see the direct link to HL1 then...
HL1: scientists, resonance cascade, aliens, cloak & daggershit
stalker: scientists or military (you can choose which of the 2 you side with i think), chernobil, mutants (no aliens as far as i'm aware)
yes, both contain: scientists, military, science gone wrong & monsters; but i hate to break it to you buddy, so do over 50% of all FPS games...

Huhum. I recently upgraded to a 1.15 GHz Athlon with 512 MB Ram. I've finally managed to get my computer to run at least SOMEWHAT stable despite the ATI graphics card (Radeon 9600, second best they had in the shop last year) which tends to lock up a lot (VPU recover only works in three out of four cases and even then it brings me back to the desktop).
The GeForce cards I had before (GeForce 2, then 3) both were even worse than that.
For some odd reason the new tower is not 100% standard compliant which means I have to bend some of the PCI cards' rear connectors in order to put them in place.
Windows XP refuses to install SP1 OR 2 (although I did technically purchase a copy of Windows XP I only have a version with a non-legit key as it seems and right now I am not willing to go and buy another copy of a bugged OS) and my motherboard's USB driver installation tool tells me to get the USB drivers via Windows Update, which I obviously can't because the only update I lack is SP1 (which seems to be required for SP2).
This is not a unique incident, I've had hardware and software troubles randomly ever since I bought my first IBM PC, ironically Atari always worked fine.
While I do not even believe in any deity or supernatural being, I am slowly beginning to take the existence of such a thing as a "negative aura" into account, the key incident being an otherwise perfectly stable iMac crash randomly as I stood right next to it.
As I said right now my computer KIND OF works with Windows XP. I am not going to jeopardize that by installing new hardware any time soon.
That I am spending all my money on medieval equipment (no, not C64s, I mean really medieval things: axes, polearms, that kind of stuff) right now is also a reason I will not be able to buy new computer hardware any time soon.

Wasted
Stalker's setting isn't anyway near HL2. You'll play as a lone wolf stalker who's main occupation is to scavenge the ''zone'' for a radioactive loot. Beside this usual rutine and the main plot quest, devs are promising a lot of sidequests. Yes quests. Dunno nothing about their possible quality because this is the part of game GSC don't like to go deeply into details which is not good. All they have shown is the amazing graphics engine, physics and combat. Yes, there was a couple scenes where you could see character interaction, but that doesn't tell anything. I suspect that roleplaying part of the game hasn't even developed too far which is why all the delays and set-backs of release data from the noveber of 2003 up to spring of 2005 (now that's a bit of a miscalculation).
As for system specs. You never know. I just recently for a good laugh tried and launched Farcry on my 1ghzDuron, 256 sdram, GF MX 440 64mb and...well it was playable on low details. A little bit sluggish, but playable.
