My god the trailer looked SO GOOD

[glossy blade]

each ane every message

[keen rune]

ITS HAPPENING, DONT SPOIL IT FOR ME YET

[verbal citrus]

the trailer was so f good

[timber violet]

I knew it

[warm saddle]

BEST TRAILER SO FAR

[finite dragon]

That was Great

[covert slate]

i knew you guys would deliver

[hidden stratus]

30 hour uncut gameplay next???

[solid burrow]

Love seeing the classic locations updated

[runic ruin]

will we be seeing more as we get closer to release date? the waits in between are pretty long

[vale patrol]

Why you ain’t tell us Skiff was nice like that 💀

[finite dragon]

loved the map on pda

[covert slate]

just remember press release will show gameplay after the event

[timber violet]

@glossy blade Can we get a confirmation if it was actual in game graphics?

[balmy hound]

Poor Gears of War, it's a bit shallow after a Stalker 2 trailer !

[vale patrol]

Mfer was popping fools, animations look sick too

[worthy lark]

said in-game footage on it at least for whatever that's worth

[runic ruin]

it said in game footage and the cutscenes r seamless to gameplay im pretty sure

[glossy blade]

at the beginning we had in-game footage watermark

[timber violet]

PERFECT, it looks amazing

[pseudo rivet]

New Gears of War as well, huh?

[frail igloo]

guys i think maybe just perhaps stalker 2 is closer than we think

[marsh dome]

I've never taken so much time off work

[grave tide]

Stalker 2 and DOOM is amazing

[nimble barn]

Yo wait

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, this showcase was fire

[vale patrol]

Welp this was way better than yesterday

[pseudo rivet]

They usually suck so bad

[timber violet]

dude just look at the concrete at first 20s of the trailer, SO GOOD

[nimble barn]

That didn’t even look like cod

[pearl jacinth]

new trailer looks AWESOME

[loud gate]

What did Mozi mean by this?

[errant orbit]

GSC and ID carried this showcase ngl

[frail igloo]

ten times better than cod

[hardy bear]

Noticing non screen centre firing, which could be interesting

[wraith sonnet]

Xbox had a good showcase this year

[solid prism]

it looks like that last delay was paid off

[worthy lagoon]

1. The detector HUD Far-Cry style is ugly, i hope i can remove that

2. They should improve the firing animations and effects

3. Optimization, it doesn't seem to run smoothly in the trailer

4. VA is good, maps and sounds are good, love the detectors

[lyric atlas]

the stalker campfire legend is real now wtf

[worthy lagoon]

@hazy helm

[nimble barn]

It is cod though

[silk sparrow]

CINEMA DELUXE

[fluid abyss]

holy smokes, an actual trailer?? epic

[north herald]

so we are 100% the game will drop september... i cant belive it

[solemn zinc]

ITS EPIC

[hidden stratus]

already complaining
'

[frail igloo]

chat is this real?

[worthy lark]

Possibly 3 months away from high fidelity zone got me OOOOOOOOING like big smoke

[timber violet]

look at trailer 0:50 how detailed everything is OH MY

[near cedar]

If I preorder the ultimate edition is the pc code for steam ?

[wraith sonnet]

This showcase was crazy with the amount of stuff in it

[worthy lagoon]

It's criticism

[pseudo rivet]

Based

[versed crypt]

Finally a new gameplay trailer. One which isn't in English, even better!

[spark summit]

THAT TRAILER IS FIRE

[keen rune]

its so...beautiful...

[nimble cipher]

cappunocci has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[versed crypt]

Oopsies

[errant orbit]

Would very much hope that there's going to be an optional classic style hud

[sand fiber]

2. They should improve the firing animations and effects
   honestly it's true to the originals, and will infuriate milsim players, which is goooood

[keen rune]

ok not gonna lie, that gameplay trailer was good af

[spark summit]

SCREW SUMMER, LETS SKIP IT! I WANT SEPTEMBER! I WANT STALKER 2!

[glossy blade]

it is possible to turn off the HUD completely

[fluid abyss]

yeah, the HUD is still iffy... I think it should only be available due to accessibility reasons, or while out of combat

[worthy lagoon]

I mean the smoothness

[spark summit]

ROSTOK AND DARK VALLEY LOOK SO GOOD OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

[tired anvil]

I agree

[worthy lagoon]

Is it possible to partially turn off some features?

[granite mortar]

Based
So fvcking zased

[marble gale]

peak peak

[worthy lagoon]

Like the compass only/detector

[glossy blade]

You won't see what you don't need: health bar will be visible only when your health is not 100% full OR you are getting damage at the moment, etc. You will see bullet count when you are reloading and shooting.

[tender torrent]

Wow Wow Wow Beautiful trailer 🙀🙀

[timber violet]

@glossy blade I think removing just the compass on top would be ideal for any veteran stalker player, so you can still see hp and energy and idk some random effects but not the compass

[keen rune]

as soon as i saw "in game footage", i knew it was gonna be good by the first 7 seconds

[errant orbit]

Nice

[dense raft]

Looks like Freedom occupies Rostok?

[glossy blade]

so there should be visual clarity at most times

[worthy lagoon]

Very nice, i'm happy about that, will the HUD be moddable too?

[fluid abyss]

looks like they made the compass a little smaller maybe? so that's good, but I'm not a fan of the HUGE RED TRIANGLE 🔻 showing where enemies are

[near cedar]

If I preorder the ultimate edition is the pc code for steam ?

[granite mortar]

Ewwww

[worthy owl]

yes

[hardy bear]

I love the controller just giving you a psy punch

[keen rune]

If you pre order on steam, you automatically get it, you just gotta wait until release

[balmy hound]

That trailer is completely stunning

[worthy lagoon]

That was to be expected

[glossy blade]

there should be settings regarding HUD

[frail igloo]

is it possible to turn off all the stuff when you're using a scope to see only what's in scope? Just like in stalker SoC

[granite mortar]

That doesnt change the fact its ewwww

[timber violet]

that location at 0:55 looks awesome

[fluid abyss]

looks like they improved the "getting shot" mechanic as well? its very short but there seems to be a directional blood splatter on the screen (I don't remember this in the prior trailer)

[near cedar]

I’m talking a about the physical edition sorry should have stated that

[wooden lion]

light seems little bit off

[outer aurora]

Those locations coming back man i cant wait

[silk sparrow]

now i have to survive 3 months somehow

[hidden stratus]

Everyone interrogating Mol1t

[keen rune]

Ah, I assume you get a code with the physical edition

[tender torrent]

@glossy blade The work of is magnificent even a tornado in the area

[keen rune]

You've outdone yourself GSC, well done with the trailer.

[timber violet]

man im gonna be addicted to using the mp7 100%

[finite dragon]

Can we show love to our G the great Mol1t

[worthy lagoon]

Very nice, i am really happy on that then

Then i guess the only thing remains is to optimize a little more the firing animations and effects, but compared to the DEMO it improved a lot, i really hope that the game will be well optimized as well, nothing else to complain

[granite mortar]

So @glossy blade now you can finally tell us if Nimble will be there 🥺

[fluid abyss]

YIPPEE

[celest blaze]

stalker 2 looks so good

[worthy lark]

partial reloads also need to not have the dude throwing the mags away imo

[celest blaze]

yall

[balmy hound]

The tornado is perhaps the best part of the trailer if there is one, love that huge climatic effects

[glossy blade]

thanks

[fluid abyss]

GSC slowly realizing that inputting community feedback means good times for all

[glossy blade]

nah, can't say

[worthy lark]

can't wait to play through it and then wait for some madman to make GAMMA 2 LUL

[granite mortar]

That means he will be there
If he wasnt you would have no reason not to say it

[silk sparrow]

Molit already finished game 10 times

[keen rune]

So Mol1t, who's that guy speaking as the voiceover?? And what about the Stranger??

[celest blaze]

gamma

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, ngl, it's good to finally see a GOOD trailer

[regal sapphire]

sick trailer

[timber violet]

you can see at 1:28-1:32 that some HUD things are hidden as Molit explained, if full hp its not shown, if you're not shooting you wont see ammo count

[granite mortar]

Its Faust according to subtitles on YT

[hazy helm]

cut his iar

[regal sapphire]

but the fps seems kinda low? or is it just me

[glossy blade]

there were different characters, Richter and Faust

[frail igloo]

Screw Nimble, will there be Profesor Saharow?

[hidden stratus]

Any metro easter eggs? Maybe a nod to the series?

[loud gate]

@glossy blade Still no answer, is the black guy modeled after Belema?

[celest blaze]

trailers are like that

[worthy lark]

yoo giant got that MANE

[north herald]

Are we 100% safe the game will drop september... i mean it must.

[glossy blade]

afaik no

[regal sapphire]

do you think its gonna look better in game?

[granite mortar]

Screw old senile half zombie
I want NIMBLE

[timber violet]

DUDE JUST LOOK AT 1:35 how AMAZING the electricity is OH MY GOD

[loud gate]

He looks so similar though

[celest blaze]

100% esp if you got good pc

[keen rune]

It said "in game footage", so everything you see is the official gameplay trailer

[fluid abyss]

albeit a little goofy looking in the trailer, I'm really looking forward to the ragdoll physics

[celest blaze]

will stalker 2 support raytracing ?

[hidden stratus]

What pc components did the pc used in the trailer?

[frail igloo]

@glossy blade So will there be Profesor Saharow?

[timber violet]

wonder if they can tell us that

[glossy blade]

Saharow?

[keen rune]

I hope my RTX 3060ti can run on 1440p

[fluid abyss]

I don't think molit can answer "is X in the game" questions

[wraith sonnet]

Do monolith is back

[hidden stratus]

Dont see why not? Could give us a ballpark of what to use

[worthy lagoon]

Holy hell

[pseudo rivet]

Is Mol1t in the game?

[north herald]

@glossy blade will we 100% sure that the game will drop september?

[regal sapphire]

satellite map is such a sick idea

[fluid abyss]

real

[worthy lagoon]

map looks amazing @glossy blade

I haven't noticed the map

really well done

[glossy blade]

I can clarify some details about trailer

[celest blaze]

[pseudo rivet]

Correct

[granite mortar]

True Stalker ass map

[north herald]

You heard it boys

[worthy lagoon]

Can we add custom markers as well?

[junior creek]

Someone have info about polish lector like other Stalker games?

[fluid abyss]

@glossy blade is the entire trailer pure gameplay? or are there some cinematic shots mixed in

[wraith sonnet]

Ah crap. The cult of the glowy rock is back

[worthy lark]

we are so back

[marble gale]

first time we can shoot straight

[hidden stratus]

that map looks cool. straight satellite imaging

[vale patrol]

W showcase everyone

[pseudo rivet]

Mol1t, what are you personally the most excited about in Heart of Chornobyl which you can share with us?

[timber violet]

cant stop watching the trailer, its beautiful

[keen rune]

Share us some details on the story sir Mol1t (joke)

[worthy lark]

there better be unusably bad random spray on the starter guns or I don't want it

[timber violet]

why would you want story spoilers

[snow lark]

is the trailer in english out?

[wraith sonnet]

The anomalies looked great

[regal sapphire]

mol1t getting bombarded with questions lol

[loud gate]

Who is Mugwort. Duty trader?

[fluid abyss]

yo this game got TIRE PHYSICS! (dog fight scene 1:00)

[hidden stratus]

Were those dogs part of a new anomaly?

[worthy lark]

it has subs so why make it in english lule

[keen rune]

Also are we getting an official soundtrack for the game near release? would love to hear it on spotify

[timber violet]

forsen

[fluid abyss]

da dawg anomaly

[fading citrus]

just ordered heart of chornobyl and am gonna request the day off from work when it releases, had to share the excitement with yall😆

[finite dragon]

I must say im amazed by that 😭 i dont think my jaw ever dropped at a trailer

[snow lark]

I don't understand ukrainan lol

[worthy lark]

well read the subs

[gaunt burrow]

How the hell is Monolith faction still alive?

[keen rune]

Well, a deal is a deal, the trailer dropped, gonna ask my crush out, I'll let yall know how it goes.

[wraith sonnet]

That just how I watch anime

[silver pagoda]

@azure nimbus 👏 👏 👏

[tender torrent]

@azure nimbus continue to refine the game, there is incredible potential that the video game community cannot imagine 🙏

[finite dragon]

They add captions and they’re actually like, working they’re made by gsc.

[glossy blade]

Monolith is G.O.A.T.

[gaunt burrow]

Fake

[granite mortar]

Power of LOOOOOREEEEEEE

[fluid abyss]

I'm still a bit critical, but the increase in promo material recently is promising

[finite dragon]

map is sick tbh

[wraith sonnet]

Tell that to the guy stabbing us

[balmy hound]

Watching the merchants I can't imagine the insane amount of work behind every detail of the game.

[gaunt burrow]

Skif is weak. He never would've done that with Strelok, Deg or Scar

[calm bough]

holy shit what a trailer and the graphics/familiar places

[glossy blade]

that were pseudodogs who knows how they found Skif

[keen rune]

@glossy blade Will the game be seperated into areas like the previous games, or is it all one big single map?

[granite mortar]

I dont like the shadows, they make the map messy
Also it seems like satelite images
Arent satelites suppised to burn when flying above the zone?

[north herald]

I love you GSC

[indigo marsh]

@gaunt burrow did you see the subtitles and what the guy was saying at 2:19?

[pseudo rivet]

Not Psy Dogs? They seem to disappear when they get shot

[worthy lagoon]

It's a satellite image just like all other stalker maps

[vale patrol]

Did someone leak the map

[gaunt burrow]

Yes. Similar to Hermits words

[indigo marsh]

It's like what hermit said

[worthy lagoon]

It's in the trailer

[wraith sonnet]

Tbh he has the weakness of animations while those guys would probably get a swing animation and tank it and maybe fade to black

[celest blaze]

ill be finished the og trilogy in time for stalker 2 i still need to read the book and watch the movie

[hidden stratus]

They pop now? Into smoke?

[vale patrol]

Oh shit lmao

[timber violet]

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT.................
@glossy blade can we assume this trailer was ran on a console? since we can see its console controls? which means on PC it should run even better with some beefy hardware?

[glossy blade]

I need to double check this one. Regarding the marks:
Wrench - Technic who can handle upgrades for Skif's equipment
Question mark - Undiscovered location/important NPC
Bag - Trader
Cross - Medic
Bed - Place where Skif can sleep
Fireplace - Hub

[pseudo rivet]

Psy Dogs always did

[granite mortar]

Yeah but this is a bit too satelite if you know what I mean

[granite coral]

Finally 😎 🤘

[worthy lagoon]

Nice

[keen rune]

One of the scenes was played on console

Assuming the gameplay video was run in a 4K resolution.

[timber violet]

All of the trailer is with a controller, not sure if its ran on a console or a PC.

[wraith sonnet]

Is it just me or does the pda kinda remind me of the one in the current version of anomaly?

[celest blaze]

i cant wait to see stalker 2 pushed to its limits

[worthy lagoon]

Encyclopaedia HELL YEAH @hazy helm @pseudo rivet

[wraith sonnet]

Like it’s no longer a menu and like a physical object we hold

[worthy lagoon]

The real chad feature

[hidden stratus]

They go into ragdoll?

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-flip-gif-25408082

[celest blaze]

this one is better imo

[gaunt burrow]

Hermit: "The Zone is a test. The way you feel about the Zone determines what tests you'll be given. If you think it's evil, or a symbol of total freedom, or a stern "wet nurse" - it'll give you exactly what you expect from it. Personally, I see several of the Zone's guises, but for me, above all else it is a place of Power. But I haven't yet fully understood the essence of the Zone and of the Power that's in it."

[worthy lark]

IM BOUTTA BUSS

[pseudo rivet]

Real shizzle

[gaunt burrow]

Faust embracing Hermit's ideology

[wraith sonnet]

It does. No longer just a menu

[gaunt burrow]

Very based

[keen rune]

@gaunt burrow Get your lorebook ready, because you're gonna add a hell of it in your new chapter of Stalker 2

[loud gate]

@glossy blade At 1:24, Skif shoots down a Monolithian weilding a Vector SMG. Can you tell the in-game weapon name?

[gaunt burrow]

My PC won't run it. Saving for a new one

[loud gate]

Also, what are the blue things on Compass?

[fluid abyss]

I hope The Zone is full of secrets and areas to explore, ESPECIALLY chernobyl

imagine crawling around inside most of the buildings

[wraith sonnet]

Oh man, I got elden ring dlc to hold me till stalker 2

[hidden stratus]

Thought the pda would be like gamma.

[keen rune]

Can't wait to see 4K CNPP

[indigo marsh]

I am gonna use GeForce now

[misty kite]

xbox showcase live chat is retarded

[snow lark]

Same and GoS

[silk sparrow]

ER, S2

[worthy lark]

yeah full on spergs lul

[misty kite]

"fallout 6: russia"

[brave mantle]

Finally a gameplay

[hidden stratus]

your provider will throttle your internet

[still ridge]

With the size of the map it’s alright IMO

Easier to see

[glossy blade]

dogs can be different

[granite coral]

It was worth the wait this time! @glossy blade

[loud gate]

@glossy blade What is tornado

[keen rune]

Correction: An updated gameplay that GSC actually cooked

[silk sparrow]

COD looks fine, but i know they will put a lot of rabbit skins which will ruin for me a lot

[still ridge]

Probably one psy dog

[keen rune]

Forget COD, Stalker 2 stole the spotlight

[granite mortar]

Ewww

[glossy blade]

That's a side quest location. Maybe we will change it's color in the future. This small adjustments to the UI elements may still be made.

[pseudo rivet]

With plenty of illusions, yeah

[hidden stratus]

Yeah but would've been bonus points of immersion if it was

[wraith sonnet]

A lot of games in the showcase were pretty good

[silk sparrow]

STALKER 2 is the most anticipated game for me since 2011

[pseudo rivet]

Blind Dogs, Pseudodogs, Psy Dogs. You're not kidding

[wraith sonnet]

Like this has been a good showcase for Xbox in like a long time

[hidden stratus]

Stalker 3 when?

[still ridge]

Mods can fix that no issue

[still ridge]

Fr

[timber violet]

mods will get it done

[silk sparrow]

S2 will have DLC

[hidden stratus]

Yeah good point but I dont personally like messing with mods. Always played the game for what it is. Still cool tho

[glossy blade]

No more details atm

[still ridge]

@old jungle theories cooking

[misty kite]

only good trailer was stalker 2

[pseudo rivet]

Could we perhaps get some details on the added functionalities of the detectors or is that ?

[granite coral]

We need more details

[glossy blade]

Arch anomaly

[finite dragon]

Any word on pre orders yet 👀? Still can’t get the CEs

[calm bough]

Molt is like this has to last for the next 3 months guys

[tender torrent]

@glossy blade The sound of the music goes perfectly with the rhythm of the game, everything is perfectly synchronized where it is needed

[misty kite]

the game looks awesome i cant wait to play it

[hidden stratus]

Natural occuring like weather? or only in one location?

[keen rune]

@glossy blade will my 3060ti run stalker 2 mr.rock guy?

[loud gate]

Does it appear on the compass? In one of the screenshots from the Wired article, there is something similar to a Tornado.

[odd temple]

Arch Anomaly in Bar?

Dang

[pseudo rivet]

Arch Artifact when? 👀

[granite coral]

Will the PC specs be updating soon? @glossy blade

@glossy blade in the trailer, with some guns to the right of the ammo there are 4 dots, is it for different ammo types? or...? for instance at 2:08

[silk sparrow]

what kind of gpu xbox has?

[celest blaze]

Should easily if consoles can

[still ridge]

Honestly I’m glad they stuck with the old psionic attack sounds for psi fields and controllers

[worthy lark]

minimum requirements say RX 580 8gb/1060 6GB no worries boii

[granite mortar]

You will need Arch Detectors for those

[pseudo rivet]

And Arch Bolts too

[silk sparrow]

i doubt 1060 will do shit

[hidden stratus]

Is this arch anomaly based off real life 'tornadoes'

[broken latch]

im not a fan of the whole screen being a map, i want the old pda texture back

[keen rune]

1080p 20 fps

[silk sparrow]

u saw the graphics, its better then real life

[flint grail]

@glossy blade working overtime here to make up for everyone’s sadness from Friday I respect it

[broken latch]

based off of battlfied 2077

[keen rune]

Photorealistic to me

[tender torrent]

A tornado in the area, I would never have imagined that, I imagine how the A. LIFE 2.0 system will handle that with the consequences

[loud gate]

@glossy blade Why hasn't Owl died already, how do you kill him in-game

[glossy blade]

We showed three different detectors: Bear, Echo and Veles. They do detector things, help you to find artifacts

[worthy lark]

it's the minimum requirements so prolly low settings 30fps or something like that

[regal sapphire]

I thought min req for gpu is 1080ti

[keen rune]

Owl lost some weight over the years

[brave wagon]

that tornado was visible in the detector btw

[worthy lark]

nah ti is for recommended

[gaunt burrow]

Mozi asking the real questions here

[mighty magnet]

exactly

[granite mortar]

Cant wait to venture into anomalous fields with my Arch Seva suit

[misty kite]

eh who cares, we all know the modding community will make it happen on pda

[still ridge]

@glossy blade did you decide to remove Picture in picture scopes or make it an optional feature

[celest blaze]

That controller looking freaky

[regal sapphire]

oooh

[pseudo rivet]

Weren't there going to be added functionalities to each to make them a bit more unique and, for example, make an Echo detector still useful late-game?

[regal sapphire]

I have 1660 super

[silk sparrow]

i just cant imagine game like this on 1060

[broken latch]

@gaunt burrow is the first black stalker in the game the one in skadovsk ship in the latest trailer?

[odd temple]

Stats, archive and tutorial seems to be inactive 🤔

[calm bough]

can the 4080 super run it

[keen rune]

Alr lads I asked her, the deal is done.

[regal sapphire]

🫡 hopefully it works out fine

[glossy blade]

they are unique un their characteristics

[granite coral]

@glossy blade Will you share the new PC specs soon?

[celest blaze]

Stalker 2 is actually going to require a 4090 for min and a 5090 for recommended

[silk sparrow]

1080ti/2070super i think could run on low/med 1080p

[mighty magnet]

Yall noticed how the guy in rostok who skif kills is wearing green camo? Freedumers invaded?

[silk sparrow]

i already on the 6090ti

[pseudo rivet]

Could you go into more detail about this or would that be ?

[vale patrol]

Guys was there a cheeki breeky in the trailer?

[worthy lark]

as long as my 5800x and 2060 keep it running well i'm gud

[hidden stratus]

Does Skif got game?

[tender torrent]

imagine the tornado in the middle of the night

[odd temple]

Where's the Branch detector in terms of how many artifacts it can find placed?

[celest blaze]

He is the rizzler

[glossy blade]

I mean, different weapons and different attachments influence the scope

[granite mortar]

Im pretty sure Kuznetsov was first

[timber violet]

most likely on min settings 60fps

[brave wagon]

caught that energy drink detail too

[gaunt burrow]

Ye

[hidden stratus]

Will there be cheese in the zone?

[broken latch]

hes white

[mighty magnet]

I saw a bandit trench coat in the skadoskv

[glossy blade]

too early to tell that, NDA

[broken latch]

a wheel of cheese

[vale patrol]

Yeah

[glossy blade]

Gonna keep something for the stone

[worthy lark]

should be at least medium but we'll see in 3 months baybee

[granite mortar]

[wraith sonnet]

Wonder what kind of mods can come from this game

[broken latch]

why is nda a stone????

[gaunt burrow]

That guy is first black NPC we've seen officially

[odd temple]

What about for the rock?

[granite mortar]

Since when?

[timber violet]

Copesen

[pseudo rivet]

Because of Rock_4

[vale patrol]

Facts not to far away

[broken latch]

what does it mean

[celest blaze]

Will their be faction wars like in clear sky or is that NDA ?

[granite mortar]

Erm
What about the Black Monolith 🤓

[mighty magnet]

obiouslvy monolith comeback since psy waves and two mono memebers fighting our characters

[worthy lark]

ain't cope till it's a lost cause

[gaunt burrow]

But we already saw NPCs of other nationalities (Vano, who's Georgian, Ashot, who's Armenian and even Gordon Freeman lol)

[prisma goblet]

Is it really going to run on series s?

[pseudo rivet]

A former GSC CM who also responded to many questions. Because the game was so early in development at that time, most questions would fall under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

[gaunt burrow]

Monolith isn't even real

[hidden stratus]

Isn't too late to add cheese to the zone.

[celest blaze]

???

[calm bough]

finally the stalker soc driving your car in a anomaly physics come inhandy for the tornado

[glossy blade]

how dare you

[broken latch]

but the rock, what does the rock mean

[mighty magnet]

We have to realise that the zone has been known now for like 20 years or so there are bound to be westerners looking to make money in the zone

[calm bough]

[granite coral]

@glossy blade You haven't answered to my question

[gaunt burrow]

Doctor in SoC describes it as "an illusion, manufactured in a lab" and Strelok in Call of Pripyat says the following:

"It's all fake... The Monolith, the Wish Granter, is just a lie, a device that clouds your mind. And the people behind it are hiding out somewhere else..."

[still ridge]

Well for I mean in the E3 2021 trailer, the ACOG was Picture in Picture, but in this new trailer, the PSO scopes and G36 scope are not, was this something where you decided Picture in Picture was not worth the performance cost?

[odd temple]

Monolith is as real as you believe it to be

[mighty magnet]

could be a setting?

[granite mortar]

Wait
Gordon is American, he is paid by foreign company, is in the Zone just for business...
Oh no 😣
American Mercs are real

[tender torrent]

The game has infinitely incredible potential in the open world

[timber violet]

@glossy blade website is not updated with new trailer btw

[gaunt burrow]

Here: https://vocaroo.com/11X8FoIJttS5

[high spruce]

Is mouse + keyboard support on Xbox confirmed or ?

[mighty magnet]

well it makes sense, although I doubt the entire faction is westerners

[broken latch]

america is in shambles in stalker universe, why arent the combine in europe

[glossy blade]

there are many questions, I try to answer what I spot And also I do not forget about ua chats

[keen rune]

Mol1t being bombarded with questions is so funny

[granite coral]

Oh I see my man 🥰

[granite mortar]

Sidorovich protects the Zone from them

[glossy blade]

the update is in the process

[mighty magnet]

I think we will see more western people in this game, it only makes sense due to the time skip

[granite mortar]

Nooooooo

[tender torrent]

@glossy blade Carrying a bag more loaded with food may attract more predators to the player?

@glossy blade is a "quick turn" feature available on controller? It appeasr to be used in Rostok, and in the Bayun teaser.

[silver vortex]

Guys, I now playing in stalker clear sky for the first time and there only can to moving on forward and back, moving left and right is not possible. Is it default or there have possibility to move left and right?

[glossy blade]

the Zone attracts many different people

[nimble cipher]

lasagna_lover811 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[timber violet]

comparing the trailer from 2 years ago to current one, the guns feel like they have more recoil and more irl-like

[celest blaze]

What's wrong with that ? It makes sense irl governments and companies would be flooding into the zone for advantages

[hidden stratus]

Has more weapons been added since the dev highlight showing some of them?

[worthy lagoon]

eh, i like it tbh, the old PDA was like that due to the levels, now we have a bigger map and every bit of the map is explorable so i guess that's nice

[granite mortar]

Yeah but its no fun anymore

[gaunt burrow]

Westerners were going into the Zone even before the second disaster

[celest blaze]

It will be fun still

[gaunt burrow]

"You know, even before the Zone became what it is now, it was still a real shady place. That was right after the original 1986 disaster. It was all secret back then, but the information slowly leaked out and all sorts of rumors started to spread, one scarier than the next. Some saw mutants not far from the Chernobyl NPP, some came across ghosts in the deserted villages. A good number of years passed rather quietly, but then a real nasty story went down. Some foreign morons came over to tour the Zone. Mostly men, but some women too - bored aristocrats looking for some extreme apocalyptic exotics. I don't know who they tipped off, but a bus of people went right into the Zone. So it went, and so it vanished - along with all the police escorts. That story raised such hell that the Zone became totally off limits. However, the first stalkers who came here told of very strange zombies whose muttered speech resembled English. So there you go..." - Orest's dialogue

[granite mortar]

Yeah but they all ended dead

[glossy blade]

this is something I need to double check, I am the keyboard&mouse team

[high spruce]

Is mouse + keyboard support on Xbox confirmed or , Molt, pleaseeee : D ?

[wild hare]

Holy shit guys that was epic !!!!!! I have tears in my eyes boys 😄

[gaunt burrow]

Hog literally mentions UN expedition lol

[mighty magnet]

It wont be gamma like stuff dont worry bro 💀

[pseudo rivet]

Mouse & Keyboard gamer detected, deploying emote

[timber violet]

YOU CAN PLAY S2 ON SUMMER GAME FEST? someone on stalker subreddit posted a photo of someone playing

[granite mortar]

Wait?!
S2 isnt made from stolen assets?

[worthy lark]

ayo stalker games are 75% off atm

[brave wagon]

my first job in the zone is gonna be looking for the anomalous bread

[hidden stratus]

A little bit of cannibalism wouldnt hurt

[granite mortar]

On GOG they are discounted more often than not

[glossy blade]

Summer Game Fest have a press event with hands on demo

[celest blaze]

That's literally any mod then lol

[glossy blade]

So you should see some coverage soon

[timber violet]

is it an updated demo from previous one or the same?

[glossy blade]

from press

[odd temple]

New demo?

[high spruce]

Is mouse + keyboard support on Xbox confirmed or , Molt, pleaseeee : D ?

[mighty magnet]

UNISIG was a planned faction, and with GSC adding alot of features they wanted to add in the past I dont doubt they will add more westerners, probably not UNISIG but def western characters.

[glossy blade]

new one

[granite mortar]

@glossy blade will artifact stat be more SoC or CS style? Or something new completely?

[timber violet]

HYPEEEEEEEEEEEE

[hidden stratus]

What should be the expected scale of the expansions to come after release? For nda rock you can answer in a scale of 1-10

[glossy blade]

I think today is the last day of event, so there should be some articles next week

[tender torrent]

the developers did an absolutely incredible job

[celest blaze]

Fr

[granite mortar]

Ehhhh
Not in the same way, usually the mods are something new with some other good mod as basis (gun packs usually)
Gamma is just the stolen stuff and nothing new really

[gaunt burrow]

UNISG isn't canon. UN is

[vestal crest]

yo, whats the first game i should play if i've never played any stalker?

[odd temple]

Did you make a special easy difficulty for journalists?

[hidden stratus]

In order of release

[mighty magnet]

yes, a faction like it was in the game files though it was never made

[pseudo rivet]

Shadow of Chernobyl, tbh

[celest blaze]

Gamma is more then a few stolen things though lol its like 447 mods

[celest blaze]

This

[granite mortar]

Damn
400+ stolen addons

[vestal crest]

okay

[worthy lagoon]

Trench coat

[worthy lark]

Shadow of Chernobyl, then MAYBE CS or just straight to CoP, Clear Sky is the most jank of them

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, order of release

[wraith sonnet]

Shadows of Chernobyl

[granite mortar]

Grok is on that Bandit grindset

[vestal crest]

just unmodded?

[spark vortex]

[pseudo rivet]

So yeah, SoC, definitely CS and CoP

[hidden stratus]

How is Scar doing after being freed from monolith brainwashing?

[worthy lagoon]

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl

Unmodded first

Clear Sky, my beloved

[north herald]

Guys i now have the problem that i cant wait up till september...

[granite mortar]

Yes

[hidden stratus]

You dont need mods to have fun

[granite coral]

@glossy blade Will the PC specs be updated soon?

[celest blaze]

Gamma is fun but efp better

[loud gate]

Who is console team?

[odd temple]

Sleep to skip time

[vestal crest]

i know, just some games have mods that just make it play alot better. not add stuff

[mighty magnet]

atleast EFP is being honest that it isnt trying to emulate stalker

[north herald]

great idea

[granite mortar]

Here its not the case, you wont find purely fixing mods

[worthy lark]

It's pretty fun but holy frick when it bugs out it bugs out

[celest blaze]

True I see it as it's own little thing in stalker setting

[worthy lagoon]

Skadovsk?

[pseudo rivet]

True, but when it comes to gameplay and crashes, it's the most fun and stable for me

[spark vortex]

yes 1000%

[high spruce]

@glossy blade Could you please tell if mouse + keyboard support on Xbox confirmed or still ?

[north herald]

yes owl our boy

[celest blaze]

I'm actually liking clear sky alot right now

[outer aurora]

Owl upgraded his shop lol

[mighty magnet]

yes OWL and hopefully beard

[spark vortex]

beard's standing next to the radio in the shot lol

[wraith sonnet]

Wonder if Sid is scamming people like old times?

[indigo marsh]

Screw Nimble and Sakarov, will Toad be in stalker HoC?

[odd temple]

ZRP and SRP can be used as bugfix only I think

[celest blaze]

^

[spark vortex]

you only see his new outfit

[worthy lagoon]

Monolith antenna?

[granite mortar]

He was on the map so I guess he will

[celest blaze]

I use both of those for bug fixes

[feral zephyr]

Is Picture in Picture scopes a setting or it doesn't exist anymore? New gameplay trailer doesn't show PiP scopes like the first official gameplay trailer.

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[mighty magnet]

what really where

[worthy lark]

stalker le reddit says to use Zone Reclamation Project along with AtmosFear and Absolute Nature but you'll be good with vanilla too

[glossy blade]

Skadovsk was shown in the trailer

[odd temple]

If so, they've definitely upgraded their building skills

[mighty magnet]

I KNOW I SAW and im certain there is monolith left over still loyal to cause

[celest blaze]

Tbh I only used ZRP for SOC and did fine

[covert slate]

i immediately recognized Skadovsk

[pseudo rivet]

Why weren't you in the trailer?

[vestal crest]

mm okay thanks i'll probably just do vanilla

[brave wagon]

do we have female snorks in the game? just asking for a friend

[celest blaze]

Vro...

[glossy blade]

I am not Skadovsk

[hazy helm]

dont make me mute you

[spark vortex]

only mods can link images , aboose

[odd temple]

If they're asking about mods, pc probably

[celest blaze]

I'm curious to see how robust and indepth A-life is in stalker 2 vs the ogs

[finite dragon]

Just watched the trailer

[gaunt burrow]

My brother in Christ, Sid is NOT a scammer. Not only literally no one complains about his prices, but CoP stalkers have this dialogue when you'll ask them about the tools: "To be honest, the last place I saw decent tools was in Sidorovich's bunker at the Cordon. Sure, you have to pay for them, but they're new and not all that expensive either."

[robust gorge]

Shit what a nice view i am officially again hyped cant wait preorded it at the beginning

[loud gate]

Yes, that is Owl.

[wraith sonnet]

I’m just memeing. Sid amid very compotent, just like telling that joke

[finite dragon]

Skif is just a random stalker then I’m guessing?

[north herald]

Where are the people again that said there will be no trailer today?

[odd temple]

There's also idle chatter voice lines in CoP mentioning how far it is to go to Sid and how unfair prices at local traders are

[worthy lark]

He is not stupid who asks, it is the one who pays

[pseudo rivet]

🫵 YOU'RE 🫵 Skif

[mighty magnet]

watch all of anomalous dugouts videos my friend

[spark vortex]

i felt it brothers

[finite dragon]

I will watch some

[odd temple]

Probably discussing the trailer with us rn

[wise blaze]

BRO LETS FRICKIN GO. that is such a good trailer. it looks amazing

[north herald]

Game of the year i tell you

[wise blaze]

if i knew what other games are coming out, and if it wasnt releasing so late, i am def saying its a contender

[celest canyon]

The Poltergeist making a stone shield was the highlight for me lol

[covert slate]

that dude in here the other day whining is eating his words now lol

[wise blaze]

slap some mods together that make it even more customizable per person, its gonna be as popular as FONV

[mighty magnet]

maybe its the fact im used to crappy 2000s animations but the guns look beautifully designed and animated props to who did that

[rugged flint]

Clear sky suit is confirmed at 00:53

[pseudo rivet]

This is going to be above F:NV when it comes to modability

[rugged flint]

when reloading the SVU you can see the blue camo on the sleeves

[brave wagon]

new pda is fire too

[celest canyon]

Well, it's Unreal Engine, not XRAY, so there's that.

[pseudo rivet]

That's literally Freedom armor

[odd temple]

The only thing I didn't like so far is many shown mutants having a jump attack with a sort of staggering afterwards, feels repetitive

[pseudo rivet]

Yup, easier to mod fr

[mighty magnet]

what is freedum doing in rostok?

[odd temple]

Selling weed

[celest canyon]

Really?

[worthy lagoon]

What's the upgrade tab in the PDA? More precisely, is it related to equipment/weapons (like CS) or the PDA?

[mighty magnet]

did dooty lose ore osmething

[pseudo rivet]

Dunno, ask Mol1t

[hazy helm]

???

[worthy lagoon]

@glossy blade

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

[celest canyon]

Maybe the character?

[pseudo rivet]

After all, more people have experience with an already existing engine

[worthy lagoon]

I hope not

[glossy blade]

Map — will let you know where you are, where your current objectives and other points of interest are located.

Journal - this is where all your quests and their statuses are stored with all necessary information to complete them.

Notes - whenever you find a note or an audiolog, it will be stored there for you to read/listen to whenever you feel like.

Upgrades - mostly useful when Skif visits technicians who are able to install weapon/armor upgrades. Also contents info about what you need to find for technic to be able to upgrade your gear.

Tutorial - section where players can find all tips on how to make the most of the their stay in the Zone.

[gaunt burrow]

Freedom doesn't even have weed in CoP, hence this dialogue: "Nah. This one fella was sayin' that he saw seven soldiers following a free stalker past the radio plant towards Pripyat. There ain't been any weed in the Zone for a while, so I figure that's gotta be crazy talk, pure and simple."

[worthy lagoon]

Love you

[glossy blade]

This one I have prepared

[worthy lark]

it is a secret)

[odd temple]

In SoC Freedom trader says to come to him next week, as they'll have weed delivery

[pseudo rivet]

CS

[odd temple]

Is it so?

[pseudo rivet]

That's Ganja, by the way

[silver pagoda]

thank you for shooting the freedomer in the trailer mol1t, i knew it was you playing the game gg man

[gaunt burrow]

CS* SoC freedomers are complaining about not having weed in their pockets as well

[brave wagon]

@glossy blade do we have 3d model pda or the classic one?

[mighty magnet]

either the army warehouses have been overrun with something or freedom is more powerful, which makes me wonder what was the canon ending of COP since yanov station n stuff

[odd temple]

Oooh

[pseudo rivet]

He owns the Gulp of Freedom

[odd temple]

Misremembered things then

[finite dragon]

Is the new trailers graphics enhanced for the aesthetic of the trailer or is that actually what the gameplay looks like?

[north herald]

which minute 😮

[mighty magnet]

53 seconds

[north herald]

thanks!

[drowsy schooner]

@vernal magnet @old jungle we can listen to dead stalker notes!!

[green hearth]

@glossy blade VERY important question, what version of Unreal 5 are you guys using? Are the shader compilation issues from UE5 fixed?

[odd temple]

No alarm for shooting people in the Bar, btw

[pseudo rivet]

UE5

[celest blaze]

Is this confirmed to be a UE5 game ?

[pseudo rivet]

Yep

[covert slate]

yeah it's UE5

[celest blaze]

How will this affect modding potential?

[pseudo rivet]

Should be somewhere in #📗┃s2-faq, I think

[solid dome]

Molit, you have me fvcked up bro. I need water in my reactor core!

[green hearth]

Yes I know, which version tho? there were significant improvements on ue5 updates last I heard

[hazy helm]

the game will have an SDK released after the game releases, this all depends on how good the SDK is

[pseudo rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[covert slate]

and i must say you've knocked it out of the park with this one yet again Mol1t, i can't wait to see what else your team has in store for us in the coming months

[odd temple]

Well, there's a lot of people familiar with Unreal

[celest blaze]

Fair thank you

[odd temple]

And from what I've heard, X-ray is painful to mod

[solid dome]

@glossy blade You didn't forget the Encyclopedia, tell me you didn't bratanski.

[digital glacier]

Duty bros mad, Rostok full of Freedomers

[celest blaze]

I don't really have much known of different modding scenes outside of tes tbh

[glossy blade]

Maybe I do not get the question correctly, sorry. But I can say that the game does not pause when you open PDA

[rugged flint]

ah dang yeah you're right

[hazy helm]

not as much as ppl make you think

[nimble cipher]

krezzin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[covert slate]

pin this

[worthy lark]

The turboautists in the community will brute force a way to make their mayhem mods anyway

[brave wagon]

thats what i meant. Thanks

[pseudo rivet]

CS technically shouldn't exist anymore, but who knows. Maybe there are remnants of their existence lying around

[outer aurora]

Think he means if the PDA is a 3D model in-game instead of how it was in the trilogy, but we saw in the trailer its a 3D model

[solid dome]

Wanted to say, THANK GOD the PDA doesnt interrupt the gameplay (aka freeze the session)

[celest blaze]

I gotta say the UE5 engine sure looks good

[glossy blade]

You might get attacked and/or get damage while peeping into your PDA. If this happens Skif will hide PDA automatically.

[frail plaza]

Hi guys. I have one question. Will there be a Polish voice-actor in Stalker 2?

[mighty magnet]

undoubtly for sure, perhaps maybe some of them joined Ward?

[glossy blade]

English and Ukrainian only

[solid dome]

Design on point, 10/10

[north herald]

Can we use English text with ukrainian audio? @glossy blade

[odd temple]

Can't wait for all those reactions of "WAIT GAME DOESN'T PAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT MAP???"

[green hearth]

Sadly I don't think you get the 3d pda effect from anomaly, looks like you get an animation and a transition to the pda screen

[pseudo rivet]

Just like the old games

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, you can

[brave wagon]

the trailer was like that so it seems possible to do...

[loud gate]

@glossy blade What is Skif fighting at 1:16? Bandits or Freedomers?

[outer aurora]

Might be the case now that I looked at it again

[covert slate]

it's like how the PDA was in DOOM 3, where there's an animation for bringing up the menu on screen

[frail plaza]

bruh. In poland, everyone love voice actor that been in all of games

[mighty magnet]

they look pretty armored, Im not sure

[solid dome]

Encyclopedia should be included, it's too valuable to let it go

[gaunt burrow]

Real

[worthy lagoon]

@glossy blade will S2 have Picture in Picture (PiP) scopes or Standard scopes? In the 1st trailer it was showcased a PiP scope while now it seems to have a standard scope which improves feature but creates a zoom effect while aiming

[odd temple]

I have Doom 3 on disks

[pseudo rivet]

DOOM 3 Gaming

[covert slate]

i still have the 3 disc box from 04 myself

[timber violet]

if its toggle-able then it would be perfect but PiP is SO DEMANDING

[hollow hull]

Does anyone think the new trailer is good?

[covert slate]

it's also UE5 so that might not be the case

and yes i do think it's good

[glossy blade]

We are dedicated to let players customize their weapons to fit their playstyle or exact situation. On the go you'll be able to attach Scope, Supressor, Granade Launcher and different variants of Mags.

[worthy lark]

ayo doom 3 came in 3 disks?

[covert slate]

for PC back in the day yeah

[green hearth]

sadly it seems they dropped PIP, which is understandable if you wanna run the game on consoles, but it should at least be togglable on pc. You can see the zoom when using scope here https://youtu.be/g6HH5kKLAlw?t=55

[glossy blade]

no more details on the scope atm, all I can say

[covert slate]

mans only bound to say so much

[open jacinth]

SCOPE UPDATE CONFIRMED

[odd temple]

Mag variants, let's go

[woeful frost]

@glossy blade are the pc specs due to change at all??

[ornate rampart]

what about this?

[woeful frost]

or are they still gonna remain the same

[worthy lagoon]

I mean in terms of the graphical rendering of the scopes

[pseudo rivet]

Would you say the weapons in HoC are more tier-based or every weapon having their own "playstyle" as it were, being still usable late-game?

[brave wagon]

who needs a grenade launcher if you have a broken toz and half bottle of vodka

[glossy blade]

If we do that, we will notify stalkers

[gaunt burrow]

@pseudo rivet Noticed how similar Fausts words are to Hermits words?: "The Zone is a test. The way you feel about the Zone determines what tests you'll be given. If you think it's evil, or a symbol of total freedom, or a stern "wet nurse" - it'll give you exactly what you expect from it. Personally, I see several of the Zone's guises, but for me, above all else it is a place of Power. But I haven't yet fully understood the essence of the Zone and of the Power that's in it."

[timber violet]

the question was about the technology of picture in picture(uses a lot of PC power) which renders the image 2 times but feels more realistic

[covert slate]

if i recall you can use audio with different subtitles, yes

[worthy lagoon]

Yes, we can see general subtitles in the game

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[ornate rampart]

nice!! ty

[pseudo rivet]

Who knows if he actually follows the same belief, though

[odd temple]

So, rather than being a Technician upgrade, we just have different mags to increase ammo capacity?

[glossy blade]

Again something I need to double check in terms of how it is different from scopes upgrades and else, can't say 100% sure atm

[brave wagon]

stalker 2 ironman-invictus runs

[red spruce]

Whats the silly stuff today?

[versed crypt]

Stuff

[pseudo rivet]

You

[granite mortar]

New silly trailer

[worthy lagoon]

Me

[granite mortar]

Where freedom (eww) controls rostok

[gaunt burrow]

Guys now its your turn to provide people with screenshots

[granite mortar]

GSC decided to be freaky but

[pseudo rivet]

Chad Freedom

[sand fiber]

so based

[versed crypt]

Can I screenshot you?

[granite mortar]

I will screenshot everything and send it to you

[gaunt burrow]

I'll stick to the OG trilogy till I won't get my new PC

[celest canyon]

Is Rostok effed?

[odd temple]

Depends on if you like Freedom

[granite mortar]

Yes
If by effed you mean F worded, and if by F word you mean Freedom

[open jacinth]

What time does stalker 2 take place? I'm surprised that monolith is even still going around

[timber violet]

a question from reddit,
@glossy blade will upgrades require materials\special parts? like junk items or its just "pay x money -> get upgrade"?

[celest canyon]

It looked like Mutants invaded Rostok.

[indigo marsh]

I think about 10 years after trilogy

[brave wagon]

rostok seems filled with fweedoms

[sand fiber]

2020 iirc?

[granite mortar]

202?

[odd temple]

Rude way to call Freedomers

[celest canyon]

3 months only, right?

[mighty magnet]

notice how richter is unsure on what is coming up the ladder, something to do with the mission Im guessing that makes him unsure what was coming up that ladder. Mutants down there, perhaps monolith idk.

[glossy blade]

speaking of Reddit, I need to pay the visit to the post real quick

[granite mortar]

Ah yes
The ladder snorks

[ornate rampart]

I just hope the game stays true to what it is

[celest canyon]

The only difference between Mutants and Freedomers is that one smokes weed and the other don't :D

[open jacinth]

Then I'm extra surprised that monolith exists still

[fluid sphinx]

combat feel looks really poor tbh

[granite mortar]

Anomalous said the demo felt like OG trilogy

[fluid sphinx]

completely unacceptable after all the delays imo

[open jacinth]

Your opinions are mid

[odd temple]

Elaborate?

[pseudo rivet]

Based

[fluid sphinx]

the death animations are super stiff and janky

[mighty magnet]

well you heard psy noises in the trailer, perhaps a new brain scorcher type of thing idk

[worthy lagoon]

What

[loud gate]

what is bro yapping about lmao

[spring wedge]

thats crazy

[gaunt burrow]

Your whole faction is literally tutorial bandits lmao

[open jacinth]

Did they just like, turn it back on? 💀

[celest canyon]

Man, I had no idea who Renegades were when I joined rofl

[ornate rampart]

that's reassuring

[mighty magnet]

huh, to me they look amazing. Sure the NPC combat maybe looks a bit off but what did you expect

[fluid sphinx]

the like to dislike ration speaks volumes, i expect the game to be the best it can be after the ridiculous delays

[mighty magnet]

The brain scorcher was destroyed (theory)

[worthy lagoon]

Looks like they are improving the animations compared to the demo but it looks good to me

[fluid sphinx]

i expect it to be atleast good lol

[covert slate]

dudes yapping to get a record or something

[fluid sphinx]

i expect the game to have higher quality and standards when its been delayed so much

[hidden stratus]

Have you ate today?

[hollow hull]

Trailer looks eh ok enough i guess?

[gaunt burrow]

It would be logical if Strelok would destroy Brain Scorcher tbh. In SoC he just turned it off

[worthy lagoon]

Define high standards

[covert slate]

he won't elaborate on it lol

[hidden stratus]

They want cod in stalker. Simple

[open jacinth]

This dude is really getting the attention that he wants

[mighty magnet]

if you look at the trailers, in the flash back we see the brain scorcher, in the future we don't

[worthy lagoon]

Because to me it is, they still need to improve some stuff but it is good

[sand fiber]

that was literally the best trailer of the entire presentation, only BO6 comes close

[spring wedge]

This just proves some people will just NOT be happy with anything

[fluid sphinx]

combat that is genuinely satisfying and not below average? Combat looks like a bad cod clone

[hidden stratus]

Knew it

[mighty magnet]

what are you looking for though

[open jacinth]

It's a modern game, wtf do you expect?

[celest canyon]

I'm just glad we are getting a release after 3 cancellations.

[fluid sphinx]

better death animations and response from enemies

[timber violet]

ill bite, what would you like to see instead?

[covert slate]

looking for GAMMA apparently

[worthy lagoon]

Could you elaborate further

[hollow hull]

Like the only thing that looked a bit off too me was the weapon drop upon npc death

[fluid sphinx]

and decent animation blending

[hidden stratus]

Have you ate today

[mighty magnet]

okay, im sure that would be pretty achievable with modding if it isnt up to your standards

[timber violet]

its 99% played on easy mode for the sake of the trailer, so tired of this point its like you critisize so much yet you dont know this basic detail literally about any gameplay trailer.

[north herald]

people always have something to complain huh

[celest canyon]

I remember Facebook 100Rads Bar blew up when Stalker 2 website was established by the man himself.

[spring wedge]

Really though

[fluid sphinx]

difficulity has nothing to do with this what are you on about

[celest canyon]

Was it 2016?

[sand fiber]

who cares

[primal current]

i wish there was at least some showcase of stealthing in the trailer since there was detection meters

[fluid sphinx]

this place has turned into a hivemind... the like to dislike ratio on yt speaks for itself.

[silent fern]

Whats game would you say has the best gunplay or the kind of gunplay youre looking for?

[timber violet]

you said response from enemies, what do you think they do in different difficulties? shoot larger bullets?

[gaunt burrow]

Can't satisfy literally everyone

[open jacinth]

Mf gets mad when people disagree with him 💀

[worthy lagoon]

I do see good animations though, you should've complained about the damage response since the player gets damage and health is draining without any visual effects and voice lines like in the trilogy

[celest canyon]

I don't trust new gen gamers at all tbh. No offense to youngsters.

[north herald]

true but there are so many people who complain about NOTHING

[mighty magnet]

real, expected though

[hidden stratus]

That's irrelevant to whatever he's trying to say. Stalker games tend to just increase enemy health on higher difficulties so who's to say what will be different.

[red spruce]

Isnt stalker 2 supposed to also have modding support? Surely, people who dont like the Animations could just make new ones

[timber violet]

ah yes, not like theres a specific group of people who are mad at the devs because of......... yeah.

[covert slate]

^

[gaunt burrow]

Man I'd play the shit out of S2 if I already had a good PC. I envy you guys

[fluid sphinx]

it wouldn't account for such a high ratio, the game needs work.

[covert slate]

it's crazy that we almost had it out in March

[celest canyon]

Get yourself a used 6700 XT tbh

[worthy lagoon]

I think there will be some stealth system, the trilogy had a stealth system and bar, some missions could be completed by using stealth as well, although it was rather buggy and difficult

[pseudo rivet]

We're in the same boat, dawg

[red spruce]

Because of women???

[timber violet]

@fluid sphinx im fine with you shitting on the trailer, I just wish you'd give actual feedback and not "it just looks bad", more specifics would be nice

[celest canyon]

Worth every molecule of money.

[north herald]

If you dont like it fine, but why so bitchy?

[fluid sphinx]

i did, the animation work is shit

[sand fiber]

russians
rightwingers
no yeah it definitely would account for that

[open jacinth]

What do you think the swamps are gonna be like in S2? There's actually a chance that they gave the renegades substance

[timber violet]

I dont see that being shit but I guess okay, anything else though?

[pseudo rivet]

Wet

[fluid sphinx]

what???

[red spruce]

I hope the renegades stay as tutorial bandits

[celest blaze]

ngl i dont think you remember the gunplay of the trilogy

[hidden stratus]

its a 1v10 out here cmon say something different

[covert slate]

they aren't going to give actual constructive critisism for it, they're just yalping for the sake of making everyone hear it

[celest canyon]

It's going to smell like rotten dead bodies.

[fluid sphinx]

russians maybe, but not rightwingers

[primal current]

yeah stealth in the trilogy wasnt the best, so im hoping its more viable now if the devs went out of the way to make detection arrows

[earnest bear]

Just me or are there way to many cutscenes?

I hope it's less bad than metro Exodus

[celest blaze]

its a trailer bro lol

[sand fiber]

there is a black person in the trailer, of course right wingers would

[fluid sphinx]

the response mechanics of the trilogy was not animation based, it has a good physics response for its time

[open jacinth]

Why can't the bandits stay as tutorial bandits and the renegades just sort of... Go away

[versed crypt]

Yuh

[timber violet]

LITERALLLY

 
[+5][S] 4 points 7 minutes ago 

The level of the AI was the lowest possible for a better cinematic action. In-game you'll be able to switch the difficulty level to one that suits your playstyle. By the way, there will be 4 difficulty levels.

[versed crypt]

Right wingers

[celest blaze]

it was horrible man random bullet deviations etc

[red spruce]

Because its funny to insult renegades

[gaunt burrow]

Cutscenes aren't a bad thing imho. Clear Sky only had 2 cutscenes (I guess 3 if you consider that deserted hospital cutscene)

[celest canyon]

Opportunists might come to the Zone from anywhere tbh.

[cerulean wyvern]

is there gonna be a trailer in english for english speakers?

[open jacinth]

This is true

[celest blaze]

you can actually hit what you aim at now in stalker 2

[solid dome]

Bring back #ask_gsc

[covert slate]

this is gonna be interesting

[solid dome]

I have 200 questions literally. Right from the top of my head.

[celest blaze]

if there is one thing efp and gamma do better is gunplay by a mile

[worthy lagoon]

S2 will have a good amount of cutscenes

[wraith shoal]

Read the subtitles bruh

[timber violet]

@solid dome molit was answering questions for an hour

[versed crypt]

No, because I say so

[odd temple]

• Novice

• Stalker

• Veteran

• Master

[solid dome]

I was trying to restart my brain, sir. It overheated after the trailer ended.

[timber violet]

no ignore the 4 difficulties, molit himself said trailer is on easy mode FOR THE TRAILER

[worthy lagoon]

Ytb subtitles

[worthy lark]

Bro expecting the Dark Souls of FPS

[celest canyon]

I feel you. Mine needs a new radiator.

[covert slate]

it's got subs, yeah

[hidden stratus]

As unpleasant as it might sound to many of you I hope S2 is like Metro Exodus. In fact it should be expected that they will be compared to each other. I hope the stealth is similar or better to metro. The amount immersion in things like wiping our helmet, cleaning our gear, making modifications on the go and the pure satisfying factor of just shooting certain weapons.

[celest blaze]

bro thinks every fps is cod

[earnest bear]

I don't mind if there are a few of them but if the first hour of the game is 45min cutscene(or locked in a chair or similar) like metro Exodus it's not good

[odd temple]

4 difficulties is more interesting for me there

[fluid sphinx]

https://youtu.be/N1QAMhU06CQ?t=73

if you think this is satisfying, then you have no standards whatsoever, looks worse than the previous trailer.

[torn geode]

Are they going to update the PC requirements? I exceed the minimum in everything except the graphics card, I have a 1050ti but I have a lot of faith in it too

[versed crypt]

This is a mess of conversations. I'm out. Bye

[covert slate]

that's how most games get their footage, through the easiest difficulty, they've been doing that for years

[still ridge]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N1QAMhU06CQ&pp=ygURU3RhbGtlciAyIHRyYWlsZXI%3D

[celest blaze]

you are being dramatic tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, no way this trailer is worse than the previous trailer

[open jacinth]

If they do add stealth to stalker 2 then I hope that it's not gonna be where the enemies are braindead just for the sake of it. Too many games add stealth but make it EXTREMELY easy

[gaunt burrow]

I see. 45 min cutscene is too lojg ngl. It would be better if there will be shorter cutscenes throughout the game

[static compass]

How?

[sand fiber]

uhhh it's standard gunplay?

[worthy lark]

People expecting GAMMA 2 instead of a sequel to CoP need to check the mirror
