[tiny smelt]

Yes

[finite dragon]

I gotta say, I think stalker 2 will be good.

[pseudo rivet]

People played the demo. Some said it looks and plays good, but the demo does seem to have bugs

[verbal flax]

Why the crosshair is so damn big haha

[sinful mulch]

its a feature not a bug

[weary sonnet]

Idc how buggy or ugly s2 might be, give me a good story and its going to be a favorite in my book

[sinful mulch]

an anomaly if you want

[finite dragon]

My PC wont be able to handle Stalker 2 tho

[timber violet]

Maybe someone changed it in settings 🤷‍♀️

[pseudo rivet]

True, bugs only exist in mods

[quiet iris]

i've been gone for a little bit what happened

[pseudo rivet]

Anyways, @dire dagger new HELLBOY game

[dire dagger]

Ayo

[pseudo rivet]

People played the demo, liked it but still kinda buggy

[solemn hazel]

pre-release build has bugs, shocker

[dense bay]

I mean it's gonna be buggy

[dire dagger]

Bro

[quiet iris]

well its set to release in december so i'd expect it to be incomplete

[pseudo rivet]

Yup, as is to be expected

[dire dagger]

They said that about fallout 76 too get real

[pseudo rivet]

Krezzin seems to really have gotten a punch in the guts from what he heard, though

[acoustic skiff]

The review from this French gamer is so badly written, I’m French and honestly a 10 yo child could write better than that, so I don’t trust his review 😂

[timber violet]

Based

[weary sonnet]

One involves Bethesda, one doesnt

[pseudo rivet]

@hazy helm
BUT HELLBOY

[vague mirage]

im going to reserve my judgement until tomorrow when we will know more 😉

[dire dagger]

Both have a history of making buggy games

[hazy helm]

like I said,it was written by a true baguette,not a person
nonsense uppon nonsense
the other french article was good tho

I liked that one

[timber violet]

Which one? can you link it

[weary sonnet]

Yea fair enough

[pseudo rivet]

Cringe merch

[verbal flax]

Who tf wears a shirt with the ign logo

[hazy helm]

it was a paywalled nothing burger of info that we had already seen like months ago but it was well put together and insightfull for someone who never read about stalker

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao ikr

[dire dagger]

Insanely lame

[timber violet]

Im really surprised we dont see a bunch of reviews

Surely theres hundreds already who demoed it

[vague mirage]

[pseudo rivet]

Hella

[weary sonnet]

avg nuclear power fan:

[granite coral]

https://www.gamesradar.com/stalker-2-seemingly-on-track-to-release-this-year-as-dev-adds-final-touches-to-the-fps/

it seems the game is ready to be released

[dire dagger]

Yah yah sure pal

[errant canyon]

War hammer game looks fun

[dire dagger]

When they drop a date I’ll believe it

[crystal oak]

I hope it doesn't from what I have heard tbh

[verbal flax]

The live chat in the ign live is so cringe right now

[pseudo rivet]

@silver pagoda
SM2 rn dawg aaaaand you just missed it

[sinful mulch]

anything

[crystal oak]

I need gameplay bruh

[placid laurel]

nice

i wont be able to play it

[vague mirage]

That article is just about Phil's comment

[dire dagger]

Not like any of us are

[sonic cosmos]

Clickbait articles goddamit

[worn oar]

Is there another live or what?

[dense bay]

ping when stalker watching show

[dire dagger]

Gsc didn’t give us tickets to games com

[errant orbit]

SM2 looks hella sick

[dire dagger]

[weary sonnet]

I mean, if this is to be believed, they have what? 4 months to polish a finished game (if they plan to launch this year)

[sonic cosmos]

I highly doubt It's gonna be released this year

[solemn hazel]

not impossible, just insanely tough

[granite coral]

Back in October, after cancelled pre-orders sparked concerns that another delay was on the cards, GSC assured fans that Stalker 2 was on track to launch this year, and given Spencer's comments at Gamescom, that still appears to be the case.

[crystal oak]

If it does it probs won't be good

[worn oar]

Send the link here or in the gamscom channel?

[solemn hazel]

i personally think gsc will target feb 2024

if only to mock pootin

[timber violet]

Who said the polishing wasnt the last delay? stop speculating and being a doomer, today or tomorrow we should know if theres a release date or not.

[worn oar]

Stop jinxing it...

[vague mirage]

4 months seems doable to me, but other games have had more time (the new zelda game was more than a year apparently)

[sinful mulch]

who really knows how old the demo at gamescom is

[fluid abyss]

Mfs be like: “I trust stalker will be good and release this year” like bruh based on WHAT

[worn oar]

I fell asleep in the train lol, good thing you pinged me

[dire dagger]

This tbh

[verbal flax]

I think zelda got the game finished but wait another whole year to polish the physics

[sinful mulch]

my collectors edition got pushed to 2024 like 3 times by now

but it may just be a placeholder who knows

[solemn hazel]

i personally don't care all that much

[errant orbit]

Game will be pushed back to May of next year, calling it now

[solemn hazel]

dec release gets me stalker faster, delay means i can save more for expensive edition and pc

[timber violet]

I wish doomers were muted until showcase

[weary sonnet]

I was willing to buy the most expensive physical edition but I couldn't find any shop that could ship here 😔

[dire dagger]

I’m the biggest doomed in the chat

[fluid abyss]

I just want the game to be not ass and for the devs to be transparent about what the current state of development is

[dire dagger]

[weary sonnet]

what about early access in december, and full release a little bit later in 2024? that sounds like a decent enough idea

[pseudo rivet]

X

[hearty pike]

Wow! Thanks for remembering man!

[solemn hazel]

ehhhhh no

[fluid abyss]

Oof, you missed the window

[timber violet]

@dire dagger Reported 😠

[fluid abyss]

United States?

[pseudo rivet]

They won't be transparent, trust me

[weary sonnet]

nope

[hearty pike]

Gamescom english 1 stream 20-30 menutes!

[fluid abyss]

😭

[fluid abyss]

Oh

[solemn hazel]

i wanna buy physical but no one ships to india (s2 website does have an alert tho so i have some small hope)

zone map is the dream tbh

[sinful mulch]

if only devs were as transparent as for example Larian, look how it turned out for them

[solemn hazel]

larian has the benefit of not having to give a shit

[pseudo rivet]

O, Batman Beyond

[timber violet]

I Really wonder what they will show now, it cant be anything big, theres barely any viewers

[verbal flax]

When bloodsucker pillow merch

[pseudo rivet]

WOOOO IGN T-SHIRT

[weary sonnet]

best shirt ever

[solemn hazel]

that's not the criteria tho

[sinful mulch]

interesting proposal

[timber violet]

Well, it sure is, and also considering the main showcase is tomorrow..... I dont see them showing much today, maybe a sneak peak to hype people for tomorrow and to tune up? maybe someone from IGN just talking about them trying the demo

[solemn hazel]

i see your bloodsucker and i raise you ganja

[solemn hazel]

if they're gonna show something, they will show something even if there's only 5 people live

[timber violet]

Disagree, also showing something on IGN livestream and not Xbox? yeh..... no

[calm bough]

its happening soon guys

[timber violet]

Its on gamescom website, just check the date of 24th and itll have Stalker there :)

Also, it is Xbox showcase tomorrow, and S2 comes with their help

[verbal flax]

AC is now an hack and slash

[solemn hazel]

agree to disagree, but yeah they'll prolly save the best bits for tomorrow

[timber violet]

Yeh thats what I mean, I still wonder what will be now

[solemn hazel]

AC was always hack and slash if you played it that way

[calm bough]

someone posted his experience on the demo in the gamescom tab
"It was fun its not finished it def. Needs more polishing the graphics where pretty okay, probably cuz their didnt used full high end PCs all with 4090s and such the animations where a little stiff it has a lot of hotkeys probably changable in the finished game the world looked nice from what Ive saw open interiors didnt find lootable stuff (prob. Also only in the finished game) ut crashed once on my friends pc but that are things that also happen couldnt find any Bugs tho except when you die the enemy spawns are a bit weird but still work in progress footage"

[solemn hazel]

some new shots, maybe a small teaser and an interview prolly

[solemn hazel]

with the varied talk of bugs, it feel like they're deliberately driving slightly different builds to see what works

[errant orbit]

Interesting theory

[timber violet]

An interview sounds good, to hype up people to tune up tomorrow for a trailer or gameplay

[calm bough]

but the good thing its playable and those bugs will be patched overtime as always or the biggest even with a day one patch

most of them even before release im sure

[errant canyon]

Never understood how are they saying the graphics are just okay?

[weary sonnet]

they're too used to seeing cyberpunk 2077 level of graphics

[timber violet]

Same, graphics are insane.

[sinful mulch]

HAHAAH JUST TODAY i saw a comment how Cyberpunk looks meh

[timber violet]

cp2077 graphics werent even that great? just a bunch of neon lights

[errant canyon]

No offense but cyberpunk 2077 is good looking but it's not like God level..

[verbal flax]

I expect a predownload at least, if the size of the game it's 150+ GB i will need like 3 days to download it

[solemn hazel]

who cares about graphics, give me gloom and grimdark vibes

[timber violet]

Stalker was always about immersion, and I personally prefer immersion over whatever cp2077 was

[sinful mulch]

Atmosphear, immersion thats where its at

[solemn hazel]

give me random fireplaces with drunk weirdos laughing about how they were almost ripped to shred by an army of rats

[sinful mulch]

give me 800 rubles and ill sell you a gauss rifle

[weary sonnet]

I was reffering to the lightining but yea

[calm bough]

is someone screenrecording the stream so we can analyze the stalker showcase afterwards lol?

[solemn hazel]

deal

[timber violet]

You can always watch a VOD

[sinful mulch]

okay, transfer it and ill go get it, promise

[solemn hazel]

how'd you like it? cash or toilet paper?

[sinful mulch]

i take artifacts too

irradiated bread is good

[summer parcel]

What about “bread”

[solemn hazel]

best i can do is jellyfish

[weary sonnet]

I can offer 3 dog tails

[solemn hazel]

at scammorvich's rates? please no

[sinful mulch]

nah man, Sidorovich wont give me even a vodka for that

[timber violet]

ok whats next? :pausechamp

[weary sonnet]

I dont think he'll give you a vodka even for a damn exoskeleton

[sinful mulch]

[errant canyon]

[olive plover]

Btw should I get the stalker 2 collectors edition from eb games or Jb Hifi or are they both equally as good

[timber violet]

Get them both

[sinful mulch]

actually smart

[finite dragon]

just got awake whats the vibe

[calm bough]

why not ultimate edition?

[timber violet]

But unless the store added something to the package they all should be the same

[finite dragon]

demo is bad?

[sinful mulch]

said who

[timber violet]

yes demo is horrible, smh doomers

[finite dragon]

idk that one paragraph i read a second ago

i asked what the vibe is, tell me otherwise

[sonic cosmos]

According to an illiterate frenchie

[timber violet]

theres no vibe yet

[calm bough]

the game seems good just a few bugs and not as polished for now @finite dragon

[finite dragon]

why does it seem good

[sinful mulch]

as soon as i find the money for gas ill let you know

[finite dragon]

what are people saying

[calm bough]

they say its fun to play

[finite dragon]

so is tic tac toe

[calm bough]

for now

[finite dragon]

are they doing a showcase thing today

[calm bough]

yes

[sinful mulch]

well yes but actually no

[crystal oak]

Ign gamescom twitch English I think

[sinful mulch]

something IS today, what we dont know

[amber tendon]

24th

[calm bough]

they show a bit today and full showcase tomorrow

[finite dragon]

ill just lurk here and im sure yall will say something when it starts

[hollow field]

Does anyone know if the mod support will be steam workshop or through some other means

[sinful mulch]

they didnt say yet

but i dont think steam workshop, that would be limiting

[olive plover]

Noted

[wheat moat]

Bad review's for demo 😿

[timber violet]

Hmm yeh? where

[olive plover]

Oh was the demo bad?

[calm bough]

without any drm and being a unity engine game I think there will be normal mods aswell

[timber violet]

No, too many people say stupid stuff

[finite dragon]

gah i want to see someone play the demo to see if the weather is working

[hollow field]

Thanks, I also thought the same

[solemn hazel]

hoping koch media doesn't forget india as a market for physical editions like bamco did with armored core 6 🙏

[sinful mulch]

unreal

[calm bough]

^

[olive plover]

Oh what did they say?

[calm bough]

yes unreal sorry

[timber violet]

People speculate and act like what they say is facts, and idk why everyone is so stressed about everything instead of just waiting for tomorrow and then we'll know things for sure

[amber tendon]

Unreal

[hollow field]

Safe to assume modding this game would be significantly easier vs modding older stalker games? Assuming gsc gives decent support to modders

[finite dragon]

only god knows

[timber violet]

Should be yes

[solemn hazel]

unreal has a p good modding scene iirc

[finite dragon]

people speculate and debate, some say ue5 will make it limited, others say otherwise

whats a game with cool mods on ue5, ive asked this like 4 times and no one tells me

[sinful mulch]

for sure

[finite dragon]

like harry potter using a glock is cool

[sinful mulch]

there are like 2 or 3 games so far only

[hazy helm]

so any stalker 2?

[olive plover]

I mean it is an unfinished game so I don’t understand why they are so mad

[weary sonnet]

ue5 is prety new so there's not a lot of games to begin with

[sonic cosmos]

Yeah the channel is flooded with gameplay

[finite dragon]

which channel

[calm bough]

also people act like the dev wont patch the game overtime and its like that forever now lol I mean come on

[sonic cosmos]

I was ironic...

[finite dragon]

whats irony

[sinful mulch]

he meant sarcastic not ironic

[timber violet]

STALKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[weary sonnet]

STALKER

[finite dragon]

whose sarcastic

[vivid folio]

STALKER!!!!

[dire dagger]

Ayo

[weary sonnet]

[calm bough]

STALKER STRIMMMM LETSSS GOOOOOOOO

[hearty pike]

HERE WE GO

[sinful mulch]

STALKER

[sinful mulch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IRx8sC_mLo

[verbal flax]

I'm cumming

I want that shirt so bad

[finite dragon]

guys a Stalker 2 developer is talking on gamescom

[tulip wyvern]

This dudes a true STALKER

[finite dragon]

awesome lmao I'm glad everyone is aware

[timber violet]

Im so glad that was the first question

[calm bough]

damn he looks so sad

[weary sonnet]

more like depressed

[timber violet]

Im sure he is, and I really appreciate he doesnt cut him off and lets him speak out

[finite dragon]

Can't imagine what it's like to do something completely different and unrelated to your job and passion as a developer and then you suddenly go to a life threatening situation of defending your existence

[solemn hazel]

i remember when russia started invasion

[prime spade]

the youtube comments are filled with childish troglodytes

[errant canyon]

That shirt is awesome

[solemn hazel]

we were all a little bit shocked in my old newsroom even tho it was kinda public knowledge by then

[timber violet]

Never read stream chats, they're always horrible

[prime spade]

it's filled with kids screaming "show us the game we don't care!!!!!!!!!"

[nimble cipher]

driftingt80u has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[timber violet]

Yeh its like that in any big stream, dont look at it, its really horrible

[prime spade]

forgorr that wolf was here lmao

[weary sonnet]

reminds me of the XQC stream where people called stalker 2 a "tarkov copycat"

[errant orbit]

Average xqc viewers

[timber violet]

juicers 🤮

[finite dragon]

Wolf was the first npc I killed when I started my stalker experience

[sly viper]

words words.... show us gameplay to criticize ourselves

[errant canyon]

These people in chat are so bad

[sinful mulch]

never read the live chat

[dense bay]

I feel like he's excited and doesn't know what to say

[errant orbit]

Rule number one of viewing streams: Never read the chat

[timber violet]

Yeh but his English is still very good

[weary sonnet]

this guy just sounds wholesomely transparent for some reason

[dense bay]

yea, he's trying to explain things

[finite dragon]

live chat is made up of rude kids who have yet to learn about respect and people disconnected from what's around their screens.

[prime spade]

yeah, I think he's purposely slowing down since there is no reason to rush it. His english is quite good

[errant orbit]

That and the fact he's on a livestream with thousands of people watching

[dense bay]

yea

the interview kinda bombarding him

[timber violet]

Hes doing great :)

[errant orbit]

I believe in him

[errant canyon]

Yeah I feel kinda bad for him but he is doing good for a non English speaker

[solemn hazel]

definitely new footage only tomorrow methinks

[dense bay]

he's trying his best

[timber violet]

Yup, but an interview is great regardless

[solemn hazel]

good aperetif tho

[sinful mulch]

not only that, i start to shit bricks when i need to talk infront of like 10+ people

[dire dagger]

I mean he’s saying new things about the game so I’m happy

[hazy helm]

YOU GUYS DID NOT PING ME

[dire dagger]

👍

[hazy helm]

WTH

DUDE

[errant canyon]

Whoever said stalker 64 Ohio is the most unfunny man alive

[hazy helm]

YOU ASSHOLE

[timber violet]

yes we did

[errant orbit]

Skill issur

[prime spade]

better than what bethesda said yesterday lmao

[dire dagger]

@hazy helm he says it’s not gonna be like anomaly

Insanely based

[hazy helm]

we already knew

[timber violet]

He said it wont be military like, because everyone is just a normal human

[finite dragon]

did he actually say that i got up for a sec

[prime spade]

anomaly/gamma servers are on suicide prevention

[dire dagger]

Not word for word

[hearty pike]

Good god do not look at live chat

[dire dagger]

But that’s basically what he says

[finite dragon]

well good

[prime spade]

yeah, it's pretty disgusting

[errant orbit]

It's not going to be like Gamma? We're so back

[dense bay]

mods tho

[granite coral]

Stalker 2 trailer again 🙂

[finite dragon]

brain scorcher?

omg double shotgun

[calm bough]

wish there would be some new footage in the background during the talk maybe afterwards

[timber violet]

Tomorrow since tomorrow is the official xbox showcase

[dire dagger]

This guy a man of the people

We love this guy

[weary sonnet]

this game is just so wholesome

[timber violet]

Hes so nice

[calm bough]

yes he is doing his best ❤️

[dire dagger]

Bruh

[finite dragon]

xbox showcase at gamescom tomorrow?

[dire dagger]

Why they stop

[errant orbit]

God speed homeboy

[dire dagger]

[timber violet]

Xbox showcase tomorrow with trailer or something probably 🙂

[dense bay]

he did good

[olive plover]

Hmmmm

[errant canyon]

Yes he did

[timber violet]

He was 10\10

[dense bay]

seems very passionate

[errant canyon]

We love him

[olive plover]

👌

[granite coral]

Was he Mol1t?

[weary sonnet]

I like how excited he was

[dense bay]

and open

[solemn hazel]

hype for tomorrow. hopefully we get solid new gameplay footage

[hazy helm]

no he was Yevgeniy

[finite dragon]

I need that shirt...

[calm bough]

im more excited for the game now

[granite coral]

hmm I see

[errant canyon]

That shirt I must aquire

[errant orbit]

Big props to the man, handled being on the stream like a boss

[finite dragon]

does gsc game world have a online shop? for clothes

[olive plover]

Was there any new gameplay or was it reused footage from the gameplay trailer? (I came late to the stream)

[errant orbit]

Reused I do believe

[timber violet]

Reused, it was an interview

[hearty pike]

Reused

[finite dragon]

already shown footage

[olive plover]

👌

[timber violet]

Tomorrow should be some new stuff because official xbox showcase

[olive plover]

[hearty pike]

And even if there isn't we will still see demo footage from the one on the ground

[errant canyon]

I'll be on the lookout for what people say about the demo

[olive plover]

Same here

[worthy lagoon]

Was it all?

[hearty pike]

Yeah

[olive plover]

Ye not much

[sinful mulch]

i loved his typical haircut, the pot as we call it, my grandma used to do it to me

[errant canyon]

I don't care about the journalists opinion I want what actual fans and players say

[fiery pivot]

Please tell me someone clipped it 😂

[timber violet]

I dont trust anyone haha

[calm bough]

you know GSC will make it right by their players

[finite dragon]

I don't see the showcase listed anywhere that one's happening tomorrow. I do see xbox streaming rn.

[timber violet]

Gamescom website, check schedule for 24th

Xbox right now is just commentetor going through the showfloor and interviewing people

[finite dragon]

where can i watch bros play the demo

i want to see if the weather works

[mortal parcel]

I think it’s not permitted to record anything

[dense bay]

Grok

[finite dragon]

sketch

[calm bough]

its gonna be unreal weather not the beautiful lightworks and cloud textures of the xray engine at least what ive saw so far

[mortal parcel]

We will know more on Thursday

[dense bay]

[mortal parcel]

[mortal parcel]

Meh who’s waiting for S2 for the graphics anyways

[finite dragon]

unreal is an engine, you can build things in it.. yeah the weather was broken with the thing earlier this year, hence why im curious. the weather is like crucial to stalker if you ask me

[timber violet]

Me, they look incredible, and I never cared about graphics lol

[calm bough]

true it makes the atmosphere for sure

[mortal parcel]

The weathers weren’t finished on the build

[finite dragon]

i know

broken / not finished whatever semantics

[mortal parcel]

I’m curious about the actual gameplay

[calm bough]

yes so there is a chance for beautiful cloud boxes

[finite dragon]

I cannot find the schedule lmao I'm bad at looking.

[timber violet]

Sec ill find it

[tulip wyvern]

Bro no way Duga is left out like that

[mortal parcel]

Most likely it won’t use skyboxes but actual shaders to simulate clouds

Which is something we’ll get in Anomaly at some point

[calm bough]

wonder how it will look in comparison to xrays weather

[timber violet]

Cant find it now aswell, the calendar shows only todays stuff

[worthy lagoon]

GSC said STALKER is not a military game

[finite dragon]

thank god

go to hell milsim simps

[worthy lagoon]

It's a game about normal people with desires and deathful wishes

something like that

[finite dragon]

stalker was always about a narrative and vibe

[worthy lagoon]

The good and ol stalker

[sinful mulch]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/promotions/gamescom

[finite dragon]

the best games are about plot and atmosphere, gameplay realism fetishism is not timeless

[finite dragon]

ty.

[finite dragon]

It says august 24 live from showfloor only

[timber violet]

yes but click view schedule

[calm bough]

yes the third game being shown is stalker

[finite dragon]

Oh I see it on there. Very cool!

jesus christ it's so hidden

being psychotic and trying to find good weather in ue5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P41qkWfBOuw maybe the dynamic weather stuff can be tweaked to make it juicy, it seems like it can look good

[calm bough]

stalker atmosphere is like 50% weather and lighting xray was really something in that regards

[sinful mulch]

yep, just remember tomorrow 4pm CEST, thats when it starts

[finite dragon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2dLLhuLlcg , the engine probably can do awesome dynamic weather

^ that one is more stalkery

weather framework can be added to any engine, im sure it can look however you want it to, skybox stuff though might just look better than dynamic rendered stuff but I guess it's what you have it render. sometimes i think limitations make things look better

[calm bough]

acister making the first weather mod for stalker 2 lol

[dire dagger]

Those dx10 graphics features were pretty cool

[calm bough]

[dire dagger]

When they were not crashing your game

[finite dragon]

if i dont see lightning in the demo i will begin work on my s2 weather mod

[calm bough]

have you seen this video on weather? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b52npy-XUdQ

[white axle]

Well, collecting some opinions on Twitter and YouTube regarding the opinion of the people who played Stalker 2 at Gamescom I was able to rescue the following:
It's hard

It has good AI

It has some bugs

Some people doubt whether it will be released this year.

For the rest, the general feeling is very positive (in terms of gameplay).

[finite dragon]

juicy dynamic weather with modern lighting and rtx could make stalker so creepy and atmospheric if they do it right

[vague mirage]

you guys seen this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmtd5qmvYLQ

[finite dragon]

yeah we saw it live

[solid dome]

I ripped it faster than them uploading it

[vague mirage]

oh 😄

sorry

[amber perch]

Just now I hope they release new gameplay next

[finite dragon]

im fine with all that, posi news is good news. would rather it be done right and if the AI is good, that's big. hopefully the demo isn't using scripted AI

STALKER 2, gamescom day 1 IGN interview, 23/08/2023

[worthy lagoon]

@solid dome @hazy helm @pseudo rivet

[dire dagger]

The king

[white axle]

Let's hope so, but hey, regarding bugs, it's rare nowadays that a game comes out without some bugs, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow or a few more days to see if they will release Stalker in December or postpone it for a few more months ( maybe until February I think)

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, neat

[finite dragon]

eh, some bugs is fine but it's better to wait and not have a launch you can't come back from. if the first impressions is that it needs a minute, probably some truth to it

[dire dagger]

If there core gameplay is good we can work with this

[autumn badger]

Will we see gameplay tomorrow at gamescom day 2?

[pseudo rivet]

Probably

[autumn badger]

👀

[worthy lagoon]

Tomorrow VC in EN @pseudo rivet @dire dagger @solid dome @hazy helm

[hazy helm]

fo sure

[dire dagger]

Yes

[finite dragon]

yeah, definitely. we can but would just would rather wait 6 months though if it needs it so it gets a good launch and the devs don't have to deal with a bad launch because management pushed it on them, which is why games are released too early

[dire dagger]

Yah

Better not have a crippled pc release or I’m crying

[finite dragon]

Hello Stalker, I need to sell your bolts

yes

[dire dagger]

I swear companies just bash in the knees of pc game releases

[pseudo rivet]

Fo' sho'

[pseudo rivet]

[dire dagger]

There not much better

[dire dagger]

It’s a 10 year old gpu

[worthy lagoon]

That STALKER 2 was going to be featured

[placid laurel]

[finite dragon]

[dire dagger]

Yes very

[flat prism]

[placid laurel]

[fresh fiber]

So is stalker 2 today or next days?

[flat prism]

[finite dragon]

is s2 going to have dlss 3?

[autumn badger]

i think so

[rare musk]

Interesting

[dire dagger]

Probably

[fluid abyss]

#📜┃s2_suggestions be like “hmm yes I should reasonably expect everyday civilians to immigrate over a video game”

[finite dragon]

gah i hope the new gen of cards gets replaced so they're cheaper

[dire dagger]

But we still don’t know about direct storage

Which is lame

Direct storage would be awesome

[finite dragon]

yeah

[placid laurel]

hey sorry for ping when

[autumn badger]

It's going to have ✨ Raytracing✨

[finite dragon]

i know that

[sinful mulch]

i really hope they add raytraced reflections to Sidoroviches scalp

[silent crescent]

tomorrow

[finite dragon]

dlss 3 is frame generation

[autumn badger]

I know I just said it because most RT titles have DLSS

[finite dragon]

not dlss 3 its new af

[sinful mulch]

DLSS 3.5 baby

[finite dragon]

Idk

[dire dagger]

I’m sure

Will be on eBay for 100rds of dollars

[pseudo rivet]

What about mine?

[dire dagger]

1000s

[pseudo rivet]

Tommy wanted to buy it from me, actually

[dire dagger]

Yours is like 5 of a kind

[trim wraith]

nice

[pseudo rivet]

So, I obviously said "No"

[silent crescent]

[dire dagger]

Sell it for like 1.2k usd

And buy a gpu for stalker 2

[pseudo rivet]

Nah, not going to sell it

[silent crescent]

Gaming merch when?

[autumn badger]

does anybody know whether the physical edition will be available before release in germany?

[calm bough]

soo who is getting the ultimate physical edition here?

[dire dagger]

It’s been in stock before

But at this point your probably too late

[finite dragon]

Sdalger Video geme

[dire dagger]

But they have restocked a few times I think

[fluid abyss]

I should’ve bought multiple so I could scalp the balls off of die hard fans

[dire dagger]

True honestly

You’d be rich

@silent crescent BOLT GAMING

[dire dagger]

Should have brought the hidden camera

[silent crescent]

Okay fuk everything ill got to save for a new GPU at least

[silent crescent]

I agree

now i got an urge to play CS

[finite dragon]

Damm calm down sidorovich

[rare musk]

Did they say if stalker 2 was gonna be moddable? Assuming so right

[dire dagger]

Not at launch

If you read faq they mention it there

[rare musk]

Gotcha

[autumn badger]

wait I'm confused, when you go to the Press Kit on the S2 website and then select the "Fact Sheet" it says it's going to launch in Q1 2024.

[calm bough]

wot

[vague mirage]

oh oh

[silent crescent]

possible you cant know if they have to delay it once again

[rare musk]

Yall see the new interview

[autumn badger]

The press kit is at the bottom of the website

[trim wraith]

there was no official date yet since last delay

so 2024 seems about right

[dire dagger]

It didn’t use to say that

[vague mirage]

At the bottom, Q1 2024: https://cdn.stalker2.com/press-kit/S2HoS_GSC_GameWorld_Fact_Sheet.pdf

[autumn badger]

here https://cdn.stalker2.com/press-kit/S2HoS_GSC_GameWorld_Fact_Sheet.pdf

[silent crescent]

150 gigs SSD 💀

[dire dagger]

So they added that recently

[silent crescent]

i guess i'll have to invest into an SSD too not just a GPU

[autumn badger]

you can also download the soundtrack there

[dire dagger]

I mean 256gb ssd is like 20 bux these days

[silent crescent]

yeah i'll just buy a 1tb one

[amber perch]

1tb m.2 for less than 60 usd

[silent crescent]

doesnt really matter the GPU will still cost way more

[autumn badger]

Here is what it says

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl releases on PC and Xbox Series X/S in
Q1 2024. The game will be available on Game Pass day one, and pre-
orders are opened on our website, as well as on Steam and GOG. Pre-
order of physical editions available on official website

[silent crescent]

how much do 3060's go for these days?

[dire dagger]

Like 200 bux

On eBay

[silent crescent]

not bad thats like 2 month salary for me lol (im a student so i barely have any earnings)

[dire dagger]

Start working in a factory

[high panther]

how to edit inventory in call of pripyat?

[calm bough]

now I wonder if they really delay it for another three months to february 2024

[silent crescent]

might as well just buy a whole new pc tbh

[autumn badger]

they most likely will

because it literally says "Q1 2024" and I haven't seen that before there

[finite dragon]

Im gonna start making stalker content again soon

[calm bough]

man by my luck I wont live that long to play it lol

[autumn badger]

there is literally stalker art

[silent crescent]

thats not too surprising...

[autumn badger]

no, art that we havent seen yet

[dire dagger]

True

My house will explode the day before

[autumn badger]

there are concept arts for mutants

[vague mirage]

i haven't seen some of that art as well

[calm bough]

[silent crescent]

my newly bought pc will explode on me the day b4 💀

[warm fable]

2024

[calm bough]

thats some lovely new concept art they posted

[autumn badger]

there are concept arts and in-game screenshots from mutants and locations so i think we shouldnt see this

[vague mirage]

The Day Before

[silent crescent]

did that game even came out?

[vague mirage]

no

[solid dome]

Lose hope by reading the following article
https://irdeto.com/news/denuvo-by-irdeto-unveils-new-features-for-enhanced-gaming-security-at-gamescom

who would've taught

[silent crescent]

where can i see it?

[solid dome]

Loosen your hope

Unreal Engine modding died today

[autumn badger]

[calm bough]

yeah but stalker 2 wont have denuvo so cmon

[vague mirage]

Arts download: https://www.stalker2.com/en/press-kit

[silent crescent]

praise the lord fuk denuvo

[finite dragon]

Praise the Monolith

[silent crescent]

no praise the

[normal heart]

loose modding ability or have a chance of ruzzians not being able to play the game

[vague mirage]

bruh

[calm bough]

its like a deal with the devil

[errant canyon]

They released the soundtrack?

[finite dragon]

Also where the hell did the "monolith Nika" meme come from

[vague mirage]

just a few tracks over the years

not full soundtrack i think

[silent crescent]

yes

[errant canyon]

That's really awesome

[white axle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/15z6wi2/stalker_2_seemingly_on_track_to_release_this_year/ Stalker 2 seemingly on track to release this year as dev adds "final touches" to the FPS

[vague mirage]

we just found a new release date in the press kit, so it's not very concrete yet

(q1 2024)

[calm bough]

maybe they are going for a christmas release to grab those sales aswell

[karmic shard]

26.04.2024 would be a nice realease date

[calm bough]

[round brook]

wait whattt

its 2024?? no wayy

[autumn badger]

here https://cdn.stalker2.com/press-kit/S2HoS_GSC_GameWorld_Fact_Sheet.pdf

[errant orbit]

While its quite overly optimistic to hope so I really do wish that we'd get solid info on the release date tomorrow

[autumn badger]

it says 2024 Q1 down there

so it's either releasing this year or in the first half of 2024 (jan, feb, apr)

[errant canyon]

That art is pretty sweet

[autumn badger]

yeah

[silent crescent]

sounds good

[autumn badger]

but still idk if this is meant to be public https://www.stalker2.com/en/press-kit

[silent crescent]

i'll have time to get money for a new pc

[errant canyon]

A Christmas release always makes the most sense to me

[silent crescent]

true

[prime spade]

so we pretty much have a confirmed release date of december 2023-Q1 2024?

depending on if amazon is being true or not

[autumn badger]

probably

[silent crescent]

and also if they'll have to delay it again (hope not)

[autumn badger]

at least thats what it says

[prime spade]

unless they are overestimating their progress, we should see that date as a release date

[autumn badger]

im guessing the release date is somewhat in february 2024

[prime spade]

wouldn't make sense to say "Q1 2024" a few months before then and then all of a sudden switch

[silent crescent]

its possible that it will release on my birthday

[placid laurel]

[silent crescent]

would be the best ever birthday ong

[placid laurel]

when

[strong vault]

Sdalger

[errant canyon]

I'm still hoping for a news years day release

[strong vault]

Hopefully im on break when it comes out

[errant canyon]

Yeah same

[strong vault]

Don’t wanna get kicked outta grad school for playing too much stalker

[prime spade]

I'm lucky that my classes for end in december, and after that I have a very easy load

[timid lotus]

happy birthday stalker

[silent crescent]

its not today but thank you

[autumn badger]

some dude from microsoft also said that s2 probably wont release in 2023, dont have the link anymore but it was a guy who leaked a lot of stuff, he also leaked parts of e3 so i think its 2024

[silent crescent]

it will be in a february

[errant canyon]

February would be good too

[autumn badger]

yeah

imagine 24th february 2024

[placid laurel]

february whenth?

whenth 💀💀

[silent crescent]

16th

[placid laurel]

ok

[prime spade]

the official page says "available 2023" in the top left, was that always there?

[sinful mulch]

February 29th

[autumn badger]

yeah, it changed to that like half a year ago i think

[placid laurel]

iirc for like a couple o days ago

[prime spade]

tbf, he doesn't have access to the full game, only a small part. Not to mention it was never confirmed which build he actually got his hands on

[autumn badger]

just saying because it would make sense

[prime spade]

I know, I'm just saying that it's not 100% credible since we don't know what he actually saw, or how much he saw

[calm bough]

I wonder when they made the fact sheet pdf where it states the q1 2024 release date

if its new or old

[autumn badger]

i'm pretty sure its very new. because i was on the site multiple times and never saw it

i just found it because i searched for the support site

[prime spade]

did it come out today?

I've never seen it before, and it clearly states a release date

[autumn badger]

yeah

I'm not even angry, I just hope GSC takes their time with this game

[sonic cosmos]

I'm sure we're gonna get an official release date tomorrow

[autumn badger]

hopefully

[solid dome]

Clever of the management leaking the document themselves as GSC very well knows people are aware the delay happened internally and the Feb 2024 window has been known for months

[calm bough]

man this is so painful to wait another day to get a answer lol

[solid dome]

Answer to what?

[calm bough]

the release date

[cedar oasis]

its obvious, the december date was a placeholder anyway

[solid dome]

We know it already

It's in the fact sheet, no specific date will be mentioned until at least late January

Q1 2024
is all

[finite dragon]

if i had to bet money my uneducated guess is next spring or summer

[calm bough]

[silent crescent]

lets hope not

[finite dragon]

i hope its good and ready to launch, they seem delayed which is fine

[coral echo]

I just hope it doesn't release like evey other AAA title dies now

[autumn badger]

Pray for GSC

[coral echo]

In a glitchy mess

[silent crescent]

yeah lets pray that it wont be a Cyberpunk Chernobyl edition

[finite dragon]

to be fair cp2077 is still a top played game, 4 years old, only sp, and had their historic launch

[calm bough]

well what would stalker be without any bugs at release date at this point its tradition

[sonic cosmos]

CP2077 was awesome

[silent crescent]

im not saying Cyberpunk is a bad game or anything but damn the lauch was hilarious LMAO

[autumn badger]

it is a great game, just had a rough start like GRB

[silent crescent]

lets pray that Stalker 2's launch wont end up like dat

[finite dragon]

yeah def, they (management) went stupid hard and thristy on marketing

[placid laurel]

we dont wanna play shitalker and i think we wont

[silent crescent]

trust the

[finite dragon]

even if s2 has problems it can pull through, if it's a good game

Means more polish

let's hope they can polish everything and give us a good experience

[finite dragon]

I have witnessed a Black cat named Samm say Donk in the official Stalker discord Server. My life is now complete

[mild marsh]

*it’s a neat closer on that first impression – STALKER 2 is aiming for player freedom, set between blockbuster moments, all while retaining the cold brutality and tantalizing mystery of the original games. It’ll be fascinating to see what other horrors and discoveries The Zone holds when it comes to Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC (with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass). *

does this mean game will be made available on Game Pass on Day1

[frail sonnet]

yes, day one game pass

[mild marsh]

cool, then just buy Ultimate version upgrade and be golden xD

do we know any like official news cuz so far aside from that blog post we know nothing else

[frail sonnet]

the press kit linked up above somewhere mentions Q1 for release... but nothing new when it comes to trailers and stuff

[mild marsh]

knowing how much Ultimate upgrade on game pass would cost that would be nice

[finite dragon]

Oh q1 2024 I see

[nimble cipher]

rezreyy has been warned

they are moving up deadline it seems

cuz Q1 2024 is all the way up to March tho

didnt they announced STALKER 2 like back in 2018

[lost apex]

[placid laurel]

stalker boardgame

[warm fable]

gonk

[finite dragon]

Yey

[coral echo]

You think bald people use shampoo or bodywash on their heads?

There's a bald dude on the stream and I'm curious

[timber violet]

Its funny how website says available 2023 and fact sheet says 2024, I guess the real update will be tomorrow

[finite dragon]

Bodywash, shampoo is only good for hair

[indigo karma]

it was a question not a statement

[placid laurel]

F

[coral echo]

Can't reply but makes sense

Also F

[gilded sentinel]

Truly a sad day

[coral echo]

I want then to go all skyrim so you can have a relationship with them and get emotionally connected to them, just to watch them get ripped apart by an anomaly

💀

Who knows

[gilded sentinel]

Skif obviously

Well I can spoil you if you want

[timid lotus]

[coral echo]

They should make a mobile/pc rts where you play as the C-Consciousness

I feel like that'd be cool

[gilded sentinel]

I’m fighting my inner demons not to dm you rn

[indigo karma]

i think he appeared in the stalker games enough my man needs a rest

[coral echo]

Idk, Sounds cool tho considering that is reacted to what people did in the zone

[gilded sentinel]

The answer will be mind blowing

[lost apex]

got it

[gilded sentinel]

Not in a literal way

Well idk about that one

[coral echo]

I guess to stop yourself or yourselves from being marked by strelok

[gilded sentinel]

I didint read the whole script

[gilded sentinel]

My favorite part of s2 is when marked one starts marking all over the place

[coral echo]

Idk, just a theoretical. People like games like Clash of Clans so probably just an rts like that or smth

[verbal flax]

So game delayed to 2024? In the webpage and steam still says december

[coral echo]

*merked

And let you have sex with bears?

[gilded sentinel]

Psy bears

[coral echo]

Ah

[gilded sentinel]

The only reason I still don’t like anomaly

When will they add this feature already

[coral echo]

Ikr, bear sex is obviously the next great innovation in gaming

[gilded sentinel]

Baldrus being ahead of its time

[coral echo]

Ong

Imagine you're wondering through reactor 4 and a controller makes you hallucinate getting railed by a bear 💀

[gilded sentinel]

Those controllers tend to get quirky at reactor 4

[coral echo]

The bear sex will probably be paid dlc, same goes for pseudogiants

[gilded sentinel]

Can we stop with the bear sex 😂

[sturdy zodiac]

What, making a mostly finished game with loads of cut content and then waiting a year to a year and a half to release a definitve edition restoring said content much like their previous games?

[coral echo]

Ok

[gilded sentinel]

Just not ready yet

[sturdy zodiac]

Yeah I know

[coral echo]

Stalker 2 releases as a Chernobyl-Flavored Far Cry 💀

[gilded sentinel]

Practically soc story

[placid laurel]

i woudl cry

[coral echo]

Same here

[gilded sentinel]

That’s an interesting take
