3dgamers has some new screens from the game http://www.3dgamers.com/news/more/1096485640/. All of the hype seems to have died down and switched to Crysis.

Powerful physics engine, i.e controlling vehicles, detailing objects, bullet ballistics, skeleton animation, etc.

Stalkers travel the Zone independently of the player collecting anomalous formations, trading, communicating and fighting. Mutants increase their population, migrate in Zone, eliminating stalkers, soldiers and each other.

While what demonan posted was nice and all, its probably not going to be at all like that.

This game was actually suppose to come out around the time of Doom 3 and HL2. Its being done by a rookie development studio, been in the making for a long time, and was extremely close to being cancelled.

If they develiever on what they say then it'll be the most amazingly AI and game ever, if they dont then it'll just be boring. A few leaks showed nice graphics for a pre-HL2 world, but recent screenshots were not impressive.

I have a promo video of this game from like two years ago. It could have done well but it lost it's momentum.
