<div class="IPBDescription">And its looking JUST AS GOOD!</div> I saw the HL2 gameplay video the day after it was on FP. First thing I did: Ran into the bathroom. Came back. Began to worship VALVe(figuratively). It was great.
And now, I found something that may just give VALVe a run for it's money.
Its called "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Oblivion Lost". Its based on the 1988 nuclear meltdown of a nuclear powerplant in Ukraine. So the story has set itself up well.
All I know is that the story is supposed to be a huge element(much like in HL2) and the graphics are phenominal. While I don't think it renders PEOPLE as well as HL2, I think it renders light and locations a lot better. Can't tell from a video really, but thats what its looking like.
The 2 physics engines also are VERY similar, and may in fact be close to the same. I'm not entirely sure yet, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s is lookin pretty good.
Check out the website. And no, I'm not a ad-idiot, just thought you guys might like to know that HL2 is having some competition. <a href='http://www.stalker-game.com' target='_blank'>S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Oblivion Lost's website</a>

Chernobyl zone was lit by an intolerably bright light. The clouds were evaporating in the silver bright sky with a thunder and earthquake to follow. People fell on the ground facedown closing their bleeding eyes and ears. The glow spread over an immense territory which was subsequently called the Zone. People ran away saving their lives. It looked like a radioactive explosion at the nuclear plant occurred. The army sealed off the Zone...
The explosion epicenter was a kilometre away from the nuclear plant. Obviously, some tests had been held there and they caused the disaster. Presumably, the entire personnel died within seconds, but still there was a probability of survivals among the staff. It appeared impossible to arrange a rescue operation, as the Zone was characterized by strange energy disturbances posing mortal danger to the explorers. Attempts to use robots were unavailing. Several months after the accident the crisis situation peaked when the Zone abruptly grew five kilometres bigger. People from nearby towns and villages were urgently evacuated, and the peril of a difficult-to-imagine scope loomed over the world.
Year 2008
The Zone exploded, radioactive clouds covered vast territories. A dreadful amount of people, animals and forests perished. Thirty kilometres of the area got cordoned off by the army, scientists failed to explain what had happened. The Zone grew, various death-bearing anomalies were spotted inside. Some invisible force tore living beings apart, inflicted awful blood-sputtering wounds. Expeditions faced mutant animals, unlikely to have appeared in the Zone through natural course of evolution. The catastrophe, mutants, anomalies, contamination… Everything appeared to be a consequence of some eerie phenomenon…
Year 2010
First expeditions can enter the Zone several kilometers deep without mortal danger . Amateur researchers, marauders and poachers, called stalkers, show up. They move around the Zone searching for various anomalous formations, i.e. artifacts, they would sell to various organizations.

-edit- BTW, remember MonsE, THIS IS NOT IRC. K?
/me laughs hard.
Deus Ex > HL
Sad but true. In my eyes, that's the benchmark for HL2 to compete with.
BTW: Does it use the HL2 engine? And the thunder noise is getting really annoying .....

The Dues Ex engine looks <span style='color:yellow'>alright</span>, but the gameplay looks horrible. I've watched the E3 videos and I wasn't impressed <b>one bit</b>.
Maybe getting a pirated version was a bad idea...but I swear, I made them more money! I convince 6 friends to buy it! I swear!
BTW- And I have something that may compete with NS for HL2(if they decide to make it)- A mod called Entropy. Just read about it on the site. I'll find the link...its hard to find though! They took it off of PHL! DAMN PHL!
