Evidently THQ Inc. has decided to make an optimized version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, they are working together with AMD to make this version. Here's more info:<blockquote>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."</blockquote>Niice... Now I just have to buy one of those CPUs, or....

I wonder why those PR guys always have to piss theirselves when they talk about features.

Yeah, native 64 bit support is nice, SO IS LINUX SUPPORT BY THE WAY, but it's not really anything great. I'd rather have good gameplay than support for a high-end CPU less than 10% of the potential players actually have.

Then again, I am also highly skeptical of eye candy and hype, two things this game litterally oozes.

EDIT: Oh, wait, it was a director, right? They are worse than PR.
I suppose some techie told him 64 bit was a good thing and the director went overboard with it. I hate it when they do that.
