Almost has a Duke Nukem 3D vibe, crazy ass weapons, dirty, night-time urban environments, weird ass enemies. 
 
Anyway, consider this game on my radar!

Maybe they figured it wasn't worth reducing the texture quality and cramming onto several Xbox 360 disks.

Also, S.T.A.L.K.E.R says "Hi!"

Listening in HD to the audio, it all sounds VERY lossy, which I don't know if it's an encode problem or if this game is as generic as it looks and the devs didn't care. Hopefully the former.

What's with the XBOX 360 symbol in the games title? It looks impressive so far, might check it out more when it comes out.

Something about this trailer REALLY looks like I'm seeing a cancelled project from like 2009.

For some reason it has that look of a game that never came out.

What does it being buggy have to do with anything, are you insinuating PC exclusivity means more chance of bugs?
 
If so, that's ridiculous.

Also worth mentioning that despite the bugs STALKER (At least ShoC) is actually a great game. There is somewhat of a history of fantastic games being riddled with bugs but being fixed by fans, another good example is vampire the masquerade bloodlines.

Also if The Witcher (1 and 2) is any indication there is some good PC developer talent in Poland.

You imply that there are no buggy console games.

Sir, I welcome you to the land of Ass-Backwards.

Enjoy your stay.

Also, anyone who had any idea how good S.T.A.L.K.E.R is wouldn't waste their time criticizing its performance.

I get a Neo-Painkiller vibe judging from the gameplay. Multiples of the same enemy on screen at once, ridiculous weapons, and Polish developers. Something about it just tells me itll be a mindless awesome game.

Some of the developer are from the Painkiller team. Also the some of the Sniper: Ghost Warrior and The Witcher 2 people.

You guys are going to give Hard/Reset a Quick Look, right? Sometimes, I feel like Giant Bomb is the only one who covers PC exclusives...and I'm a console gamer:) I just dig watching games like Cryostasis or Mount & Blade.

Found out about this game and saw this trailer a few days ago. Looks to be right up my alley of old-school games. Has a real Duke/UT vibe.

And once it's a commercial failure, they'll wise up and go the Crysis 2 route.
