AW is the game I will go quad core for.

Considering that these are from 2006..wonder how have they updated graphics since then?

Hey I thought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was a great game. Especially with the Oblivion Lost mod, and the sharper texture pack. Then again, if you were playing for nice visuals then you might be a but let down compared to newer games. Personally, I think pretty graphics can't make up for bad game play.

Edit @ Splave, now we have gone from Source to CoD4 looking. Lol, those do look a bit better though.

Right, I am all for a game that has a better story than it does graphics. Hence why I still find myself playing games like Monkey Island and The Dig. However, I was talking about the graphics due to the topic of this thread. It could have the best story ever, but that's irrelevant to this thread.

I personally thought STALKER looked phenomenal. The atmosphere was perfect. It wasn't Crysis, but hey, what game is?

Precisely. From the looks of it, Alan Wake will be to graphics cards what Crysis is now. However, my position is that delays will take its toll on the game, and it will not be as GPU-intensive as we once had thought.

Any game that goes multi-platform is likely to get gimped. Mainly on the textures and model poly count. Consoles just don't have enough RAM.
