Cryostasis
Game » consists of 2 releases. Released Apr 15, 2009
Arctic-themed Cryostasis has players explore a relatively faithfully constructed Soviet-era nuclear ice-breaker. Game mechanics include using heat and exhaustion to represent player stamina, using heat sources to regain this stamina, and the use of a flashback ability to alter the past.
This game is way ahead of its time.
"My friends and I were discussing recently how we thought that games couldn't graphically progress much further than they have today.What made you think that? I haven't seen any evidence that the advancement of computer graphics is decreasing, they just keep getting better and better. You always see a game developer introduce a new shader or rendering technique and then the industry takes that and expands on it.
...
We were wrong."
Man this game is seriously making me want to build a gaming PC, it looks sooo interesting, I like how it seems a bit more mystery like then horror.
"Seeing that makes me feel really bad that I can't afford the greatest gaming rig in the world (or any gaming rig for that matter)."I understand your pain :(
P.S. lol
This game looks incredible. Here's a longer video I found that is in 720p. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQMbFQVLhMc
Damn that's awesome, this game uses the GPU to calculate the physics which is much more effiecent then using the CPU. I'm not sure about this but isn't it posible to deticate a GPU to calculate physics is an SLI configuration?
"AWESOME! INCREDIBLE! THE FUTURE OF GAMING!Fancy graphics and effects are part of the future of gaming, why wouldn't it be? And why do you think its unimportant?
Oh wait, no. It's just fancy graphics and effects.

I finally got to play a good portion of this game on a friends comp, and I've got to say this game is a masterpiece, a breath of fresh air for FPS in my opinion, the way the story is told and the slower paced gameplay really add depth to the game. Rather then being thrown a ton of enemies at you its more close and personal with each enemy, and the writing for the story is brilliant, you really start to get involved in some of the drama that went on between some of the characters in the flash backs as well as the fable story that you pick up and read every so often. I really recommend this game for anyone who likes to play different from the norms style of games.
