In their latest column, HomeLanFed looks into the subject when the latest technologies of nVidia and ATI would be tested and pushed to their limits.
According to the author, Max Payne 2 had almost achieved it, however did not manage to let them work up a sweat.
The author believes that 2004 will be "the" year: Titles like DOOM 3, Half-Life 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Painkiller would really show what the latest graphics-cards are capable of.

About an hour ago (02-02-04) the chat with GSC Game World ended. Those of you who missed it, can take a look at the conversation again, that is, we logged the chat for you and also edited it for your comfort.
If you are too lazy to read through everything, then you will have to be patient and wait for our summary. But it is worth it, there are quite a lot of interesting things to be reported.
Directly from the developers, we have 2 new screens and the calendar for February for you.

Here is a summary of interesting facts:
- Due to some difficulties GSC is not sure if Co-op will be in.
- You won’t see that well at night and your character will become tired faster if he carries wet clothes.
- One part of the team wants to see female characters in the game, the other doesn’t. GSC is not sure yet…
- Up to now, almost nothing was cancelled from the concept-list. Everything is going according to the schedule.
- The DX 8 part of the engine has been finished, working on DX 9.
- The voices of the characters will be localised.
- A change of the name to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: The Shadow of Chernobyl is possible.
- The game will support 5.1 Sound.
- A realistic aiming-system is planned.
- Soon, a REAL gameplay-trailer will be released.
- There will be vehicles in MP as well.
- In the latest day/night cyclus trailer you only saw DX 8 footage.
- You will also be able to kick and punch.
- The game will support the 64-bit technology oF AMD.
- Almost all objects can be moved and pulled.
Have fun.
