Not too shabby, but until they get the weapon models the right way around and go for that bare minimum of factual accuracy over perceived "1337ness" there's no way in hell I'm actually paying for it. Whoever said "hey, let's mirror the models so that the ejection ports are visible 'cuz that looks hella-cool!" should have been dragged outside and shot in the testicles.
Not another game only the lucky few with uber pc's can play 
Oh well, I'll have fun in 2 years I guess.

Iron sights aren't all that important anymore, really. Afterall, call of duty had 'em. (#2 game in gamespy at the moment, just under a certain halflife mod)
Sure, it adds some immersion, but it's not really a selling point.

Sorry, am I missing something? What's the big new feature that's visible in that screenshot? Several STALKER videos have shown iron sights before, if that's what you're ooing at...
ya if they can't put the ejection port on the right side of the gun then it worries me what other design decisions the team might make

wasn't CS one of the first that mirrored the models to get the uber-shellcasing-effect so go hunt down their testicles then Olethros... I bet you will have a large group of followers that want to assist you in your task.
But to the screenshot... well, they use iron sights... but no free aim area. Still dead center on the screen so really nothing new. And older shots somehow looked way better than that one here actually. Just check out the distance fog and the 'crispy' looking vegetation. But the crispy stuff can come from the jpg compression ... you can see the stuff around the bird in the sky and many other areas too. So I hope that the actual screen looked better than that.

I hope that someone makes a model pack which has the selectors and the ejection ports on the correct side when it comes out. That and a decent realism mod
That would be a whole hell of a lot of work. First you'd have to remodel the gun, both third and first-person, and then you'd have to find the program that controls how the shells are ejected and diddle with that until you found out how to make them come out from the other side.
Actually CS uses mirrored guns because they were modeled for by a lefty. You couldn't even have them on the right side until beta 5 or 6 IIRC. If you play the game with the default settings, the gun is not mirrored

Yes.
Too bad that someone will pass playing this great game just because the developers mirrored the gun models.

I'll still get Stalker, but it's still going to be nagging at the back of my mind, even though I know it's not exactly an entirely realistic orientated game.
The trouble with games is that as they get more and more detailed, the more seemingly little things missed out will jar your immersion as well. Some can be verlooked, others can be really annoying. I'm a big fan of gameplay over graphics, and I've been very immersed in older games as well, but lately those things have become a lot more apparent due to better graphics.

I'm with CK on this one... (scary to admit actually). Well, I do actually know somethings about weapons, been to the army and all and shot with a wide range of 'em but I'm pretty ignorant to details like that.

Heh I can remeber them (the stalker devs) saying they didn't want to include iron sights because it made shooting too hard or some such hogwash.
knowing something about guns and shooting tends to ruin some action movies for me =)
Its not the actual graphic of the gun having the ejection port on the wrong side that makes me hesitate to buy this, its the fact they did it on purpose, and the attitude of the devs about stuff like that. I'll definitly be waiting for the review first
