[stone venture]

Ah

[terse shore]

not at all, that’s just a playstyle, most people don’t do that

[sour goblet]

some guy beat it in 14 minutes

[celest blaze]

all i know is if stalker should never do extraction shooter

[terse shore]

man all i need is a stalker co op 😢

[mossy apex]

Why

[celest blaze]

play dayz stalker server

[sour goblet]

what about daya

[blissful peak]

dont you think that the ominous vibe will be lost with coop ?

[celest blaze]

stalker is better as a solo experience

[blissful peak]

same with the metro franchise it would absolutely NOT play the same it if was coop

[pseudo rivet]

Based

[stone venture]

Why can’t it just be its own separate mode? Don’t have to play if you don’t want to. I’m not advocating for making the entire game a extraction shooter, just a mode you can hop into, like death match, team death match, 1v1, cap the flag, single player, having options is never a bad idea

[sour goblet]

it would be fun surviving with a friend or two

[celest blaze]

because theres other games that do this

[stone venture]

There’s other games that have guns and go pew, you’re point?

[pseudo rivet]

Honestly? Don't worry about it. HoC was made in UE5 for modability in mind. Especially with the demand and seen how HoC will be open world, someone will eventually make a co-op mod

[celest blaze]

id rather GSC not waste dev time on slop game mode

[hollow prawn]

My target practice

[sand fiber]

because you don't seem to understand that extraction shooters are their whole separate genres with wildly different considerations in regards to gamedesign

[celest blaze]

battlefield 5 for example instead of focusing on making the game better went all in on firestorm their battle royale because that genre was popular and it hurt the game baldy

not everything needs to be a tarkov clone

[sour goblet]

we need to be able to get freaky with the bloodsuckers in HoC or else its not GOTY material

[pseudo rivet]

And Fallout 76 and their battle royale

[jaunty pebble]

Dont forget guys, Gaming will be saved in 13 days

[celest blaze]

oh yeah them too i forgot about that

[pseudo rivet]

Although it was decently popular simply because of how boring base F76 actually is

[jaunty pebble]

To be fair, The FO76 BR was fun and unique. It just wasn’t fitting on a whole mainline Fallout game. If they released it as a standalone it would have had more chance

[pseudo rivet]

See?

People enjoyed it

[astral valve]

Then ShoC, then CoP

[jaunty pebble]

And Beth killed it

[pseudo rivet]

As does it with anything good

[jaunty pebble]

I never had that much fun in a BR because all of them were just garbage

[pseudo rivet]

*SoC

[celest blaze]

ong i fear for tes 6 now esp since the starfield situation

[sly matrix]

and never repair it. when you run out of durability, game over

[sour goblet]

sometimes when im lonely i stick my gauss rifle in bloodsuckussy

[jaunty pebble]

Tes6 ie Beth’s last chance on being relevant

[calm bough]

Cmon Molt when more S2 news?

[jaunty pebble]

If they botch it up. They are gone

[nimble cipher]

Shush. I have been in lectures since like 7 AM and my brain is just fried rn

[pseudo rivet]

Samesies

[astral valve]

wth man lmao

[sly matrix]

I can't see TES VI being interesting, if it ever comes out. they've been dumbing down the games with every iteration and I feel the next one would be taking it too far

[pseudo rivet]

Same thing with Fallout 5

Same is the case with Gearbox

If Borderlands 4 flops, it's over for them

[sly matrix]

Skyrim basically already got carried by its theme, the removal of classes and attributes was a bummer

[pseudo rivet]

Not to mention the Creation Club not helping either

[sly matrix]

next playthrough I'm gonna try that stuff out though to see how hard I can break the game

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, honestly speaking, there are a few mods on the CC which I'd like for F4

But there are already mods that add stuff like it

That or the weapons aren't even balanced

So nah, not paying for that

[sly matrix]

they are not

[patent mortar]

Is it confirmed that S2 going to be easily modded?

[pseudo rivet]

Hella

[sour goblet]

The naked Richter mod is coming.

[patent mortar]

Looking forward to schizo mod for S2.

[pseudo rivet]

Seen how UE5 is an engine already commonly used, more people have experience with it, thus technically making the modding scene boom

I wish we could get Call of the zone 2 but Dr.X is no longer with us

Rest in Peace

Played it a while back since I'm into Freeplay mods.

It was fun.

[keen vortex]

Woohooo new trailer on IGN YT!! 😄

Leet's goo

[sour goblet]

Yes I am. 😈

[deep quiver]

only in the zone

[patent mortar]

Whoah, a woman in the zone.

Also Yanov station.

Cardan and Nitro better be there.

[sour goblet]

stalker anomaly feels extremely empty at times

[exotic mural]

Yes and it is confirmed that there is a mosin nagant present in the game too of course

[umbral bane]

Hey, I'm from Saudi Arabia, and I'm trying to pre-order the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl Ultimate Edition.

Is there any way that I can still order it?

[blissful peak]

you can do it on steam ? if you want the physical one than you can go to Geekay or their online store

[umbral bane]

Yes i mean the physical one, thank you 👍👍

[raven barn]

Women in stalker 2 confirmed

[celest heart]

11 days left?

[safe rain]

We all saw it boys, masterkey SV98

I NOW HAVE TO BUIKD ONE IRL

[raven barn]

1:48 in the new trailer

[blissful peak]

you welcome 🙂

[fresh geode]

WE'RE SO BACK

IT'S SO HAPPENING

[wary cosmos]

lads i secured my pc physical edition for pc

feelsgood

[steep badger]

Wdym?

[dire dagger]

Dude the under barrel shot gun and jungle mag

That’s so fire

[fresh geode]

NO MORE DELAYS

[rain marten]

Damn, that new trailer is lit. Nice to see that variable ammo archetypes are a feature. I loved that in Anomaly.

[steep badger]

How do you know?

[storm kernel]

WOKE

[jaunty pebble]

New gameplay trailer from IGN

[rain marten]

The frequency of trailers is meant to drum up heat, they do not do that if another delay is in the works.

[storm kernel]

delayed to 2026

[raven barn]

We need no women mods NOW

[jaunty pebble]

I don’t think it would work as she is a technician

Unless you can re-record her lines and make new mocap animations from zero

[steep badger]

Nah. Maybe on 11.19 we will see new delay

[raven barn]

Voice doesnt matter just the skin scares me

[dense hatch]

kinda hate the narration but it looks great

[late yarrow]

There has been different ammo types since the first game?

[steep badger]

Mate, go touch grass

[jaunty pebble]

Well, solution. Dont go to her technician area

[raven barn]

Hell nahhh

[steep badger]

Always been

[rain marten]

Yeah, but the first game was a little limited on it. Not at all to the extent shown in the trailer.

[jaunty pebble]

If you don’t visit her as a technician, then you won’t see her

[fresh geode]

gotta introduce it to new players who never played the originals

[safe rain]

All you'd really need to do is replace texture and voice lines. Just make it the same as any other technician

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, all Stalker games had different ammo types but they were limited

[steep badger]

All games was limited tbh. Almost always you had 2 choice: FMJ and AP ammo

[rain marten]

Also, the descriptions giving a quick reason for their function is a nice touch. Like the AP rounds using Carbon Steel cores and so on.

[ornate rampart]

ngl, seeing in the gameplay trailer how the inventory ui, gear icons and everything else is feels insanely good

[jaunty pebble]

Now it seems we have more ammo types

[rain marten]

GAMMA had a more extensive set, with hollow points, FMJ and then AP.

[dim topaz]

Sprinting is not on X? Immersion ruined...

[safe rain]

I agree, I was wondering how they were going to handle it and make it seem stalkerish with new UI

[late yarrow]

Ah I knew I was more so asking about what they meant by more ammo types. I gotcha lol I would consider the old games to have pretty good selection but yes Stalker 2 will have more which is great

[honest bridge]

What kind of anomaly is it?

[steep badger]

GAMMA have a lot of ammo, not only this

[patent mortar]

I dont know myself.

[safe rain]

Dishwasher anomaly

[ornate rampart]

ikr they nailed it

[patent mortar]

Try throwing a bolt.

[honest bridge]

Bruh

[rain marten]

I was being intentionally crude. I just do not recall all the types since I stopped playing GAMMA some time ago.

[patent mortar]

See if she reacts

[dim topaz]

Least incel response

[safe rain]

You know damn well that could be a name in game lol "sparkler anomaly, flamebath anomaly"

[pseudo rivet]

Welp, times have changed. Women are no longer an illusion

[safe rain]

They are in my life

[radiant remnant]

I know who my favorite technician is going to be

[patent mortar]

Cardan and Nitro better be in Yanov station.

[pseudo rivet]

To our knowledge

[radiant remnant]

don't hold your breath. Both of them is a big ask... unless they moved in together and adopted babies or somethin

[rain marten]

It is nice to see weapon jamming animations as well. As a pistol marksman I know how frustrating it is when the darn thing jams mid-contest.

[safe rain]

Anyone else watch the lil zombie footage from 5am? That was neat, it's cool to see the military actually moving as if they were the military

[late yarrow]

Man I’m excited

[safe rain]

As long as it's not as frequent as tarkov jamming, I'm happy

[rain marten]

Ha, yeah Tarkov overdid it alright.

[jaunty pebble]

I think the chance of jamming increases with durability getting lower, but I hope its not as constant so its annoying

[pseudo rivet]

As long as you repair your gear, you should be fine

[bitter wave]

Will multiplayer be like tarkov?

[jaunty pebble]

No, classic PvP

[pseudo rivet]

NDA, but unlikely

[safe rain]

As long as there isn't any modifier per ammo type, per magazine, and per durability level, I'm happy with it.

[rain marten]

It is especially annoying here in my country though. If you are in a contest and it jams, you have to remove that round and make sure it is presented as a malfunction before you are allowed to continue. (With a replacement round) You are only allowed one malfunction per set so once you get one, you are praying it does not happen again.

[pseudo rivet]

Probably your classic TDM stuff

[indigo marsh]

It will likely be TDM like in the og trilogy

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, like how the OG trilogy MP but better

[bitter wave]

Ah ok like a Call of Trash

[pseudo rivet]

Hopefully

[dense hatch]

or RTCW

[safe rain]

Sig p320 x5, mine only has malfunctions if the ammo is bad junk, and she eats a lot of junk

[dense hatch]

enemy territory

[untold salmon]

Lab coat monolithic is so sex

[tardy wadi]

Stalker might be one of the first FPS games to do gun jams, it's always been present if you don't repair guns

[rain marten]

A Sig? Nice... I have plans to get my hands on a P226 once I have clearance.

[safe rain]

It's been in a couple games so far, but it's usually a cinematic or an event that happens at a specific time, there are very few FPS that feature dynamic jamming, Tarkov being one of them

[fair jackal]

holy sheet....a under mounted shotgun on a sniper rifle...

[safe rain]

P226's are sexy, I gotta get one at some point

[tardy wadi]

I meant the original games

[rain marten]

Ha, yeah I remember when I was working in GAMMA with my starter Kiparis starting to fail, it become so unreliable I was using it like a semi automatic rifle at some point.

[rain marten]

Yep, they are standard issue with the police here so finding a retired one should be easier.

[safe rain]

Right!? I feel like they're showing it to us to showcase how customizable the firearm combinations can be, not necessarily to show off the masterkey shotgun

[safe rain]

Our standard issue is glock. Kinda funny how that works

[fleet glacier]

In-Depth Gun Customization and Combat!?

BUY 2^1000000

[north herald]

call me sick but i love how the dead face looks from the stalker shown at 2:39. It soo good that it doesent have a default face

[fleet glacier]

Women in The Zone!?

SELL 2^1000000

[fair jackal]

it's a MASS 26 shotgun too.

[rain marten]

Comes down to contracts and local development really.

[untold salmon]

Muzzle flash on it is nice

[fleet glacier]

jk. plz no ban! : (

[fair jackal]

i love the fact that they thought of that. you can snipe people and then pelt mutants with the same gun

[safe rain]

I'm very excited for it. Gives me more options

[fleet glacier]

Just Referring a Certain Green Parrot.

[safe rain]

Yeah, but I'm US, so it's funny to see Austrian firearms be your local primary handgun. Sigs are being made in the US now so I'm surprised more PDs aren't getting them

[rain marten]

My absolute favorite gun I had in GAMMA was a heavily modified AK-12 Monolith model. I had it seriously kitted out.

[hollow prawn]

I am more interested in the Malyuk

[rain marten]

Hmm, that is interesting. I thought the US was more ambivalent on the M9 models.

[safe rain]

Think of the implications though, you might be able to mount one on your smg, or even better, your shotgun!

[fair jackal]

i would have liked to see the guy pump the MASS 26 though.

[fair jackal]

undermounted shotgun on my PKM

[sick inlet]

Yea so? Thats not the designator if a game will be on GFN…

[pseudo rivet]

Undermounted sniper on my shotgun

[safe rain]

I also went with the Ak12, but it was in Anomaly so I never found the Monolith one. The US ditched the M9 in the mid 2000's, most departments went to glocks, some kept berettas, a good few went with the Smith M&P series. We're seeing more sigs now but not a ton

[hardy bear]

das a good trailer. Masterkey kinda crazy. Also looks like there might be supression?

[fair jackal]

apparently it still has the icon for the grenade launcher, it's a little sad but o well

[mystic anchor]

Customization looks great but my one concern is the combat AI shown off in the trailer. I really hope it’s just for the purposes trailer and stalker’s AI was never amazing but enemies would at least attempt flanking and flushing you out with grenades. I’m still keeping my hopes up though!

[fair jackal]

iirc, they have stated that for the trailers they use a dumbed down version of enemy AI for the purpose of showing things off

[hardy bear]

We've been told that they use low difficulty ai for some trailers, but we aren't too sure if that's every trailer, or if the ai actually behaves differently between them

[safe rain]

I had not considered the possibility

[rain marten]

I also managed to find an AK-5. Mostly I used that since it is a bit unique.

[native sparrow]

I did hear an enemy say “flush them out with a grenade.” Briefly

I do think the red laser looked abit off, Am I the only one?

[safe rain]

I wasn't a fan of the prototype ones, the AN94 chewed through ammo and the recoil was uncontrollable. The AK12 is chefs kiss

[rain marten]

Prototype? The AK-5 is the standard issue of the Swedish military for years now.

[hollow prawn]

Best weapon ever made

[fair jackal]

i kinda hope they make the MASS 26 pump since that is what it is irl, like you flip out the lever to pump it with, it is not semi auto as shown in the trailer.

[native sparrow]

I don’t know exactly what, but maybe it’s just me. Trailer looked amazing though!

[dense hatch]

I'm sad it's not "CATCH A GRENADE!"

[rain marten]

I noticed the laser range seemed a little unusual, but that is it.

[dense hatch]

I'll be missing the CS combat dialog

[nimble cipher]

thefatcontroller. has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[safe rain]

Wolf you have betrayed me

[loud gate]

they say that too

[safe rain]

Lasers are a female dog to make correctly in video games

[loud gate]

or "Got a little present for you" - preccy kool

[native sparrow]

Correction, They said “fuck them up with a grenade.” (Incoming warning lol.)

[rain marten]

@safe rainJust to clarify (As it is a common misconception) the AK-5 is NOT an AK variant. It is just a coincidence in translation. The weapon is more aligned to the design of the H&K G3.

[jaunty pebble]

They did said long ago that AI looks like this because of trailer demo purpose

[patent mortar]

Nah its aight.

[native sparrow]

Ah lovely

[dense hatch]

it's not the same

[fair jackal]

imagine if the AI on the normal settings or whatever just wouldn't give them time enough to showcase the things lol.

[native sparrow]

Fair, but it’s got the vibe of still insulting you in combat. And wanting you did

[jaunty pebble]

I assume its oh Easy/Normal

And for the trailers and demo’s they dumb the AI abit more because of reasons

[hardy bear]

Really curious how general progression and gunplay is going to work. Since its such a drastic difference to the other games

[native sparrow]

But I’m sure they’ve got plenty of other ways of saying it, Overall I loved the looks of the trailer. Reminds me of Metro Exodus’ atmosphere that I adored. I’d love to see the morning sun rise in the zone.

[mystic anchor]

That’s good then

The dumbest complaint I’ve seen of the trailer is that the UI looks bad

[safe rain]

I've actually got a pretty good feeling about it, gunplay looked ok, and I'm assuming the progressing will feel similar to anomaly. We all start with sticks and stones

[rain marten]

Yeah, the AI is often dumbed down for demonstrations to allow for more fluid representation. As a STALKER veteran I will be going for some more challenge.

[fair jackal]

it looks, simplified.

[safe rain]

If I don't feel like I'm actually fighting for my life, I don't want it

[hollow prawn]

The AK-5 is based on the FNC

[native sparrow]

The Ui looks pretty good, I’m glad they showcased the trailer without the hit markers and crosshairs, as I’ll be playing like that more likely for an immersive experience.

[celest blaze]

i mean even stalker on master wasnt that hard

cop master was a joke

[rain marten]

A close sibling of it, yeah.

[native sparrow]

I struggled on COP, but Tbf I had just gotten into stalker when they released the trilogy. So naturally I struggled.

[jaunty pebble]

Trailers need to be recorded and Demo’s need to reach to the ending point. If they keep the AI as cranked as it is, they can’t do that

[valid thicket]

two weeks away

[safe rain]

I was guessing it was a prototype of the 100 series aks, I was wrong lol

If they'd just let me play the game I'd make them trailers for free 🙂

[rain marten]

@safe rainLike I said, common misconception. Most people see "AK" in the tags and always assume it is a Kalash variant.

[fair jackal]

i will prolly just start my run when it comes out or a few days after, on normal.

playing on the harder difficulties was a bit annoying at times.

[rain marten]

I plan on turning it up a notch from the get go, then adjust from there.

[fair jackal]

was especially not a fan of the % chance that your bullet just misses entirely.-.

[safe rain]

I hope normal is still pretty hard, easy should be for the kids and people who just wanna blast through, normal should be what the zone would actually be like, any difficulty above should crank damage and spawns

[native sparrow]

Yeah, my only criticism with the trilogy, the gunplay in. SOC and CS was really janky. COP had the most fun gunplay to me

[safe rain]

It's kinda what I liked about it. It was janky, but original

[hollow prawn]

Automatkarbin 5C

[round sonnet]

Will Stalker 2 release 12mn locally on the 20th?

[native sparrow]

True, It definitely had the early 2000 vibe

[round sonnet]

Or is it like they will be released on the same time?

[rain marten]

Exactly, translation turns to AK which can be confused.

[fair jackal]

i hated the gunplay in the trilogy.

[native sparrow]

Timeslots of the release will come out cooner or later

[safe rain]

Yep, I forgot the AK5 until I remembered I used to use the 5c in battlefield

[round sonnet]

Thanks my dude, kind of pumped and hyped!

[rain marten]

Oh yeah, I forgot the c at the end. Probably because I live in country. We tend to skip that.

[hollow prawn]

It is only Swedish for assault rifle...

[safe rain]

New word just dropped

[fair jackal]

aha so you guys were talking about the AK5C lol. swedish "AK"

[native sparrow]

I adored attempting a silent approach, aiming at a head and firing. Only for it to go 5 inches to the right of the enemy.

[native sparrow]

Yeah, tried to edit it but gave up when I missed the keybind lol

[safe rain]

and they never noticed the tracer

It's a funny misspelling

[fair jackal]

i could have done without the mental slideshow of times that has happened to me.

[drowsy mountain]

hello

[marsh pond]

hello

[safe rain]

Howdy

[drowsy mountain]

I want to ask about pre=ordering the physcial editcion

[hardy bear]

It's just that the lack of spread would mean gunfights either need to be balanced against us far more, or resource scarcity is raised to compensate. Otherwise you can just dome everyone without a fear. And progression wise, with no area gating as hinted in responses to questions, would loot respawn? How is pacing balanced when you can go anywhere? What sacrifices might have to be made to accomodate it?

[native sparrow]

Or being 5m close to them, and somehow my bullets trace a silhouette of them. While their accuracy is perfect.

[drowsy mountain]

after clicking it just show me funny Sidorovich

[jaunty pebble]

#🖤┃s2-pre-order

[native sparrow]

[fair jackal]

i hated it when i would look at videos from Anomalous Dugout and he'd somehow nail people in 2 seconds or less but i never could lmao

[safe rain]

Go to their announcement page and pull up the list of physical retailers, then find the right one for you

[fair jackal]

another thing about the gunplay was that they coded the guns to be unaligned or something like i saw a video on the accuracy in CS i think it was and it was not good at all.

[safe rain]

I have a feeling that it will be a lot like anomaly in terms of map progression, sure you can go loot wherever, but there will be harder and more plentiful enemies. If you pick up an item, it's gone forever from that spot; loot containers on the other hand will respawn. It's the only thing that makes sense to me

[native sparrow]

I’d only like the spread to occur if your weapon is low on durability. That’d make plenty of sense

[hot tree]

how do we report game bugs in the stalker 2 trailers xd?

[celest blaze]

bro you mean the trilogy lol

[granite mortar]

Oh please
Stop acting like anomaly has progression

[safe rain]

There are no bugs, only features

[celest blaze]

anomaly sucks honestly

[native sparrow]

A side effect of the zone

[hot tree]

friend told me its not bugs its anomalies

[drowsy mountain]

its over

it doesnt ship to the toilethole I live in

[safe rain]

You mean saving up enough money to repair an exosuit and then merking everything isn't fun?

[granite mortar]

It sucks disohenstly
Because its bad and the description on moddb is full of lies

[safe rain]

There may be a retailer that will work with you

[celest blaze]

ong

[drowsy mountain]

👀

[granite mortar]

I mean getting the exoskeleton in first 20 minutes of gameplay because theres nearly guaranteed chance of the red forest bridge guard dropping it

[drowsy mountain]

forgot they exist 💀

[safe rain]

I've been having a lot of fun with it, I beat it last night actually. It "forced" me to build out my AK irl

[native sparrow]

Does anyone know if you’re able to holster your weapon, Not point it all the time? I can’t recall if that was in the trailers or not.

Or atleast have the gun in a downed position, there’s a name for it but I can remember lol.

[safe rain]

If there isn't a holster button, there will likely be a low ready button.

[native sparrow]

Low ready, there it is.

[granite mortar]

Its fun until you play other mods
The devs painted this glorious facade built of lies and when you play anything else you realize how empty and misleading their words were
The more mods you play
The more cracks will show in the facade

[safe rain]

I just go directly to duty and do a megafuckload of missions until I can afford one. Doesn't take long typically

[hazy helm]

just select the same weapon again to holster it

there already is this mechanic

[granite mortar]

Ewwwiiee
Dooty

Duty?
More like hlavy dutý

[safe rain]

In anomaly, yes, we have no idea in Stalker 2

[fair jackal]

is it like Metro Exodus' mechanic that lets you sprint longer and faster or something?

[native sparrow]

Monolith ftw

[dense hatch]

it's in the trilogy too

[hazy helm]

anomaly
HAHAHAHA

[safe rain]

Perks of being a loner off the rip, everyone that matters is friendly

[dim topaz]

• The sniper has an underbarrel shotgun

[safe rain]

(We were talking about anomaly, I'm aware it's in the base game)

[dim topaz]

[granite mortar]

As if the world mattered at all in Anomaly
You play as demigod, you dont have to care whos friendly and who isnt

[safe rain]

I'm about to blow your mind, underbarrel shotgun on your shotgun

[safe rain]

But being the bad guy makes me feel bad

[native sparrow]

Yeah the sniper getting an underbarrel shotgun attachment was funny to see, but sparks my curiosity as to what else I can do with the gun customization.

[granite mortar]

[dense hatch]

underbarrel grenade launcher ON your underbarrel shotgun

[dim topaz]

They will definitely have holstering. In the original people would refuse to talk to you if you pointed your gun in their face

[granite mortar]

Kostyor on my Bulldog

[native sparrow]

Double shotty all over again.

[fair jackal]

CoD:MW style lol.

[safe rain]

I never sided with the legion in FoNV, Ave, true to Caesar my arse

[granite mortar]

Boooo

[safe rain]

We aren't allowed to talk about bad games here

[crisp ruin]

Someone said about CoD MW???

[native sparrow]

Yeah I remember hearing people telling me to not point my gun at them, so I kinda assumed it’d also be in S2 but was curious if they had it in the trailers. But couldn’t remember

[fair jackal]

hey 2019's MW2 wasn't so bad.

[hardy bear]

I imagine stuff would definitely need to respawn given the open world nature. Without the linear structure they'd definitely need to fine tune that distribution and balance

[fair jackal]

i liked it and 2 but have since passed on getting any other CoDs

[native sparrow]

MW2019 had the best color pallet to me, Didn’t feel washed out like the sequels.

[safe rain]

Hopefully there's respawn zones where stalkers wander. I don't want to see loot respawn in X19, where no one's been in god knows how long

[dim topaz]

Afaik they do, https://x.com/Stalker2News/status/1853182174972748103/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1853182174972748103&currentTweetUser=Stalker2News

[jaunty pebble]

The sniper can support an attachable underbarrel shotgun. Yes please

[native sparrow]

Ah thank you

[fair jackal]

guy pointed out to me there's a woman in the trailer. will there be any out in the zone or will it just be men again?

[dim topaz]

There is a technician woman in Yanov.

[jaunty pebble]

And the one they point out is a Technician

Not even an actual stalker, a damn technician

[fair jackal]

i just want there to be female stalkers too lol.

[safe rain]

Combat roles need to be supported somehow

[jaunty pebble]

Yea

[dim topaz]

Moddb will have you covered... In more ways than one

[jaunty pebble]

Like to those who cry and complain about that woman, please go cry me a river.

[native sparrow]

I sense some game journalists fuming.

[celest blaze]

people freaked out they saw a blackman in the zone

[native sparrow]

The zone does not see color

[storm kernel]

"people"

[dim topaz]

The same (((People))) when they read roadside picnic

[fair jackal]

i really just want there to be females out there too lol. like it feels weird to me that there wasn't in the other games. like they'd be there for the same reasons as anyone else.

[jaunty pebble]

For previous games, maybe we can blame it on technical limitations. But for Stalker 2? There needs to be female stalkers

[dim topaz]

Pretty sure it was a budget thing

[jaunty pebble]

And yea, budget problems

[dim topaz]

They could only afford 2 bodytypes. Body type A and body type Sidorovich

[fair jackal]

i've heard people say there shouldn't be because they can't fight men and they'd be serious about it but like...guns

[jaunty pebble]

They should go cry a river

[charred snow]

How's that going? 🙂

[fair jackal]

i really hope it will have women too.

[dire dagger]

I mean if we’re completely honest it’s pretty far fetched for not a single women to be in the zone

[sour goblet]

i forgot

[dire dagger]

Not saying there should be a lot of them but definitely more then zero

[fair jackal]

i don't want it to be like a 50/50 split but the occational one in the field would suit me just fine.

[granite mortar]

Are you saying that bandits arent single because theres no women, but rather because they are stinky asshole criminals?
Nahh
You cant be serious

[safe rain]

I just think that there wouldn't be a plethora of women, it's genuinely not a place for women.

[dire dagger]

Never thought about it like that damnnnn

[fair jackal]

what makes it a place for men though? lol.

[native sparrow]

Skif is a woman plot twist.

[dire dagger]

But nah people crying about women in the zone unironically or about other races of people in the zone

[safe rain]

Because there's fighting? Have you ever met a man?

[dire dagger]

Not only does it totally make sense for a women to be in the zone but also that people from around the world would come to the zone

[fair jackal]

there's also being eaten by psudodogs, bled dry by bloodsuckers. mm such manly activities.

[dim topaz]

Skif is a non-triliniary zonefluid

[charred snow]

So I am trying to find some info/discussion... I'd preorder today, but I would like to know if it works under Proton/Linux. Anyone has any info on that?

[celest blaze]

i mean women fight aswell look at the old ussr divisons from ww2

[fair jackal]

Guns are a great equilizer lol.

[celest blaze]

ong

[safe rain]

Wasn't the lore surrounding getting into the zone that it was pretty much impossible for people from countries not directly bordering the zone? And yes, it makes sense for women to be there, just not in huge numbers

[fair jackal]

and maybe a woman would have an easier time sneaking around in the dark due to having a smaller frame?

[granite mortar]

Most effective Czech sniper of WW2 was a woman, she achieved that while working as field medic at the same time
Honestly incredible

[safe rain]

I can only wonder how much her mosin would be worth irl

[celest blaze]

thats based af

[fair jackal]

again we don't want it to be a split 50/50, we just want some

[safe rain]

Yes

I feel that we should see more women in bases in non combat roles and the occasional woman stalker out roaming.

[storm kernel]

same with one of the most decorated Soviet snipers in WWII

[hardy turtle]

I'm trying to pre-order, but pagseguro is being a cusao

[dim topaz]

I'm pretty sure the reason behind the army being vastly male dominant is:

• physical differences
• women just not wanting to be in the army
• tradition / history in general

There's nothing stopping them otherwise. Zone in particular should attract people of all walks of life

[storm kernel]

you sometimes see gymbros on social media sayin stuff like "what if I broke into your house" and bro we live in America tf you think will happen 💀

[north wadi]

Women ain't stop me to use my hot gun

[fair jackal]

i would still wanna see them in combat.

[north wadi]

Male either

[safe rain]

Yes absolutely

[sour goblet]

and then an older stalker tells them to get back in the kitchen 💀

[fair jackal]

i hear it's harder to get guns over there than ever and it's dumb lol.

[dim topaz]

You just want to shoot women don't you 🙉

[ruby warren]

Underbarrel shotgun on a sniper looked hilarious

[celest blaze]

you can bench 300 but that doesnt make you bulletproof ong

[fair jackal]

sure that too.

[north wadi]

If I said kid either, will community cancel me?
(imma joking k?)

[celest blaze]

i want to shoot all non clearsky faction members

[dim topaz]

Killable children mod inc

[sour goblet]

[north wadi]

Lol remembered Anakin words

I killed all of them. Kid, olds

[fair jackal]

i would like to see some of myself in the game

[sour goblet]

yuo r monolit

[north wadi]

I would name my character myself, not the damn Skif

[fair jackal]

is a skif not just a type of boat or something anyway

[dim topaz]

Skif is easier to pronounce than nenpynk

[indigo marsh]

That means everyone.
And isn't a CS anymore.
Unless you count ex members

[sour goblet]

skif is a boat confirmed

[dim topaz]

I'll go with skif

[sour goblet]

thats not how it is but alright

[north wadi]

Nah, it's a name of nation who lived in Asia(middle Asia or some?]

[north wadi]

I'd call myself Pepper(as my name in Russian lol)

[worn oar]

[sour goblet]

pepepepeper

[fair jackal]

coulda sworn you use a skif in TWD:S&S to get around.

[dim topaz]

Nice boat! ⛵ 🏝️

[safe rain]

I'd just go by "Fat"

[sour goblet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiff

[storm kernel]

true, the US is slowly becoming North Korea with how difficult they're making things with second amendment

[celest blaze]

idk about that

[storm kernel]

the feds wanna take away our rights

[indigo marsh]

[north wadi]

As if someone would care of someone rights

[boreal mica]

Right, but this isn't a political server so just you know. Stop.

[north wadi]

[celest blaze]

only politics that we should discuss is zone politics

[rocky trellis]

I'd just call myself "What?" since that is apparently how my name translates to Ukrainian and then translated to English

[storm kernel]

"erm I can deadlift 450 and im on my winter arc fighting demons on the creatine" yeah lets see how you fare against some good ol' fashioned NATO 5.56

[safe rain]

Funny story actually, I was at an abandoned radar station, in gorka pants with an AK, VKBO hat and earmuffs with my mitties out and my friends were falling me "fat" inf front of other groups of people there, so they see this absolute Chad rocking an AK with his gut out ripping an AK off a abandoned military building and the first thing they hear someone call me is "Fat"

[storm kernel]

true

[celest blaze]

[dim topaz]

Sounds like you're 'mirin bro

[celest blaze]

i wonder what the ramifications of freedom taking rostok is

[north wadi]

All smoking weed

[fair jackal]

would prolly not call myself Doshch in the game even if i could.

[celest blaze]

i feel the zone would be safer since duty doesnt really do anything

[dim topaz]

God that's a vibe I never thought I wanted in my life

Imagine like that rostok beats video they posted but you're wasted on edibles staring at the anomaly above bar

[celest blaze]

and then i show up 😈 ( freedom are OPPS )

[north wadi]

I'd like to see how the new group of policeman's gonna go wild to bandits

[worn oar]

Oh yes! That and only that

[safe rain]

Two words:

"Anomalous Mushrooms"

[dim topaz]

I genrally don't like freedom but the green is a common denominator

[north wadi]

Oh now I'm imagining how I'm killing Richter

[marsh cliff]

Omg you can attach a freaking skeleton key shotgun under a sniper rifle

Game of the year is real

[safe rain]

This is going to be game of the decade for sure

[dire dagger]

Don’t believe so but could be wrong

[fair jackal]

it's a MASS 26 shotgun too. only ever remember seeing it in Battlefield 3 or 4

however they didn't make it pump action for some reason

[safe rain]

Animations probably

[marsh cliff]

Game of generations...people would keep stalker 2 alive for decades with mod...Anomoly 2, heart of misery...etc

[safe rain]

I hope they made some sort of ergonomics modifier so you can't just slap every attachment possible on your fun without any ramifications

[fair jackal]

i just, idk, like i feel like they gave other things animations but they didn't give that, a gun, animations. it's like making a bolt action, shoot semi auto

[safe rain]

I certainly will

[marsh cliff]

My only concern is how polished the game will be at launch..and how well the optimization is

So far....they havent changed the min and recommended req yet

[celest blaze]

anomaly 2 🤢

[granite mortar]

The game spent months in just the polishing phase

[safe rain]

Yeahhh but it is an interesting thing to animate.

[dire dagger]

They delayed the game one last time to polish it up even more

Apparently they were not satisfied yet

[celest blaze]

im so pumped

i wish triple A games polished up this much

[granite mortar]

Anomaly 2
Ah yes
But to get that you need to wait for poopoo freeplay mod for HoC
Then wait for the mod to get combined with wannabe hardcore mod
Than wait for that to get combined with bunch of stolen addons
And then wait for that entire thing to be stilen, stripped of the best features and have bunch of other stolen addons integrated

[marsh cliff]

Yeah....but the min requirement seems a bit too good to be true for a game this huge. But I have seen many articles in which GSC are confident with the game optimization...so theres some solid hope right there

[fair jackal]

they animated attaching it to the gun but not cycling the gun though.

[dire dagger]

Is stalker 2 a triple a or double a game

[celest blaze]

i think double A

[safe rain]

Very true, but I'm assuming it's a similar animation to other attachments, a one size fit all thing

[dire dagger]

Double a with triple a content

[fair jackal]

yeah i'd guess double A too.

[indigo marsh]

If anomaly 2 were to release it would be a couple years after HoC.

[storm kernel]

sextuple A

[dire dagger]

Based

[celest blaze]

but to be fair idk the hard requirement for ranking

[dire dagger]

True

Maybe it’s defined somewhere

[marsh cliff]

Double Aa yeah. GSC is well known but they are not as huge as Ea, ubi etc etc

[granite mortar]

Its base requirements for any UE5 game
Only difference being that S2 will be actually optimized
So if anything, the requirements presented might be higher than the actual thing

[celest blaze]

ubisoft said they made the first quad a games and they were shit lol

[fair jackal]

idk because like they made a reload anim for the GL right so like i would have assumed the same there

[storm kernel]

I still upgraded my GPU in anticipation

RTX 4070

[granite mortar]

With how shit the modern AAA games are, I think S2 is far above the AAA line

[safe rain]

Yeah it is a real weird one. Maybe they couldn't get their hands on one to properly mocap it?

[granite mortar]

Ubi is just confused
They meant 0.4A

[safe rain]

The elusive S tier release

[dire dagger]

That was just a blind attempt at marketing

[fair jackal]

idk if they mocap reloads? but they did reload the mag in the gun

with Slugs it seems, them blue shells

[dire dagger]

Real

They made a tech demo

[marsh cliff]

They did say they had updated and modified the UE5 engine for their own purpose to the point it can be called UE5 GSC too haha...And optimizing for xbox series had also helped with optimizing the game across the board for all platforms

[dire dagger]

And forgot it was suppose to be a game

Look guys we made game with boats

Isn’t this cool guys?

Guys?….

[granite mortar]

Yup
I have very positive expectations about the framerates on minimal requirements hardware

[safe rain]

That is the one thing I do not feel good about

[fair jackal]

it seems that the character shoots the MASS with their left hand the same way as one would a grenade launcher. however i just wish they would make it shot with the right hand so the left was used to cycle the bolt in the gun as one would do in real life.

[marsh cliff]

Best fps of the decade...best optimized game today...Man, pls just be real for one

[safe rain]

Irl you'd be operating it left handed with it shouldered in your right shoulder, fired left handed just like a GP25

[fair jackal]

is that not what i said?

[storm kernel]

pirate MMO from 2024 that is absolutely mogged by one from 2018

[rocky trellis]

AC: Black Flag is absolutely great game and a lot people wanted another game with similar or improved mechanics... but what ubisoft gave is absolute slop instead

[hardy bear]

The A metric is only a measurement of how much money has been put into it in my eyes, which carries certain standards that raise proportionally but with that view it’s even funnier how much they flopped

I really really truly love the lore and atmosphere tho

[indigo marsh]

So trve.
You convinced me that duty gay.

[granite mortar]

Hell yeah!

[terse shore]

the game is only ominous in a first play through, once you know everything it’s not the same

[dense hatch]

stalker is kinda silly after the labs

[blissful peak]

I wouldn't agree, I've played thru metro / stalker many many times and everytime I get sucked into the game and get the ominous vibes which I enjoy a lot. But with coop it is a lot less immersive.

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[hardy bear]

are they doing that thing where certain creators get to play early? Or just same time for everyone

[jade coral]

Just saw the new trailer, armor helm + weapon upgrades confirmed

Noo
I just saw the trailer
Stupid ass laser on a gun
No sovl
Its sovlover
Im cancelling my preorder

[indigo marsh]

Stalker 2 is Sovl. Because Stalker 2 is clear sky

[north iron]

What's bad about a laser on a gun?

[pearl olive]

It just usually helps when the laser is pointed where you intend the round to hit

[north iron]

That's the lasers purpose

[pearl olive]

you would think so yes

[north iron]

Btw, did u see the gunsmith menu? It looked kinda bad

[pearl olive]

All i know is I hope they were playing in 1080p because the resolution/size of those menu boxes makes it look like shiiiiii

[jade coral]

Laser on gun will help with the no crosshair option

[pseudo rivet]

I believe that each dot represents a part of the weapon that can be upgraded. Technically, it should still be the same as CS and CoP, just that it's more clear which part is actually getting upgraded

[north iron]

I would have preferred something similar to tarkovs one

[blissful dome]

They're trying to go for the old UI look, I'm digging it

[blissful dome]

Tbh I think they had it running on the series x or ps5, if you have a pc it'll look way better

[sour goblet]

stalker 2 looks gorgeous

sadly there is no way i am running it

[granite mortar]

Ugly stupid ugly tactislop ugly and also useless because the HAVE A GODDAMN CROSSHAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN :3

[dim topaz]

There is absolutely no way on gods green earth that you wouldnt run it unless they fumbled the optimization big time

[boreal epoch]

[rotund widget]

I'm just gonna say, the bloodsucker dying to a leg shotgun blast in the exact same way as he did to an HK spray in the Gamescom gameplay footage with him falling on his back instead of going down face-first looks iffy 😬 Preset death anims for mutants pale in comparison to human bodyshot physics here

[sour goblet]

i like disabling crosshair so i can make my aim even better

[fluid abyss]

I just hope the death animations get interrupted by bumping into things. It can feel jarring when an enemy that should have been tossed onto a table doesn’t because the animation hasn’t finished playing

[boreal epoch]

Then just do not use laser in Your gameplay. Let people use it if They want

[granite mortar]

NO

[loud gate]

I don't see it. But even if it would be the case, I don't think it's bad. Actually, if you look at the scene where Skif is fighting Dogs in Prypiat, it looks pretty great

[granite mortar]

Ewwie

[sour goblet]

whats so bad about that

[wise geyser]

Nothing lmao

I’m pretty sure in the bigger diffs anyway huds disabled for the most part

[rotund widget]

Yeah, there should be a distinct ragdoll to various different interactions, not just something like we've seen with dogs doing a random backflip or a bloodsucker falling asleep no matter what you shoot him with.

Question to you Chads:

Do you think the Loot window expands depending on the backpack weight limit of the enemy?

[granite mortar]

No

[north iron]

Yes

[silk sparrow]

no

[solid dome]

Thank god I'm not the only one to think so

[silk sparrow]

maybe scroll will be added

[north iron]

I don't think, I know

[dense hatch]

why would it

[solid dome]

HE KNOWS

[still ridge]

Damn bruh we got a masterkey

[dense hatch]

I doubt any NPCs will need to have that much extra storage

[silk sparrow]

because we love to collect all garbage in the game

[solid dome]

Cuz it doesnt make sense we have 80 kg limit and the enemy always sticking to 30, even tough bluds

[rotund widget]

It is bad. When you have your legs shot off via shotgun — you'll fall as if a carpet was pulled from underneath you by a person standing behind. Look no further than Counter-Strike: the most basic FPS in existence with the most default anims imaginable — yet there's a distinctive visual ragdoll when the model gets killed in the legs, it falls down face-first. Here the bloodsucker is just falling backwards and hugging himself as if it's night time 🤷🏻‍♂️

[solid dome]

Fvck is a masterkey? Isnt it lockpicking shith?

[still ridge]

Instead of an under barrel grenade launcher, it’s an under barrel shotgun

[dense hatch]

enemies don't have a max carry capacity they just carry very little

[north iron]

It depends

[still ridge]

it’s meant to blow open doors and stuff, that’s why it’s called a master key

[bleak crescent]

so pre order content is just a weapon skin, suit skin, and backpack skin? (defualt edition)

[dense hatch]

also the base is 50

[solid dome]

We definitely have underbarrel launcher, no way boe

[wise geyser]

Yes

[solid dome]

Ayooo

[bleak crescent]

thats kind of disappointing ngl

[dense hatch]

he's saying that's how it works

[wise geyser]

Lmao how

[dense hatch]

it's a pre-order pack, they usually have this level of stuff

[bleak crescent]

i cant even see suit and back pack skin

[still ridge]

When the pre order has stuff it said it had 2 years ago

[boreal epoch]

What? Wasn't it always said it will be like that?
I always believed we will get some cosmetic goodies

[dense hatch]

it's in announcements

[still ridge]

[bleak crescent]

because first person

[solid dome]

I'm not a wep guy and I know nothing about technicalities, excuse my krettin-nness

[solid dome]

Maybe soon you can (photo mode gang)

[silk sparrow]

female technician confirmed?

[bleak crescent]

i thought we would get a little extra content, i remember them saying we get campfire content no?

[wise geyser]

The suit you can see the arms and the backpack yes you can if you’ve been paying attention Brodie lmao there is a literal animation that brings the backpack up in front of you 🗿

[fluid abyss]

Yeah, also I think headshots should have a high chance (like 90%) of playing no animation and instead have the NPC crumple

[north iron]

There will be coop, then you can show it friends how much cooler your virtual character is

[solid dome]

Quit jerking off to avatars, son

[boreal epoch]

You also can't really see how You dress in real life because of first person, yet You still choose to wear nice clothes. Role play

[dense hatch]

the animations are good though

[silk sparrow]

ain no party like a diddy party

[solid dome]

Deconfirmed
No official cooperative mode will be made available

[boreal mica]

No coop

[dense hatch]

a wonderful reward for hitting a headshot, also a clear indicator

[north iron]

Wait what?

[boreal mica]

Yep

[solid dome]

Lemme cite

[boreal epoch]

We also get campfire songs, it says it in announcement

[north iron]

Coop will ruin the atmosphere of loneliness and fear of exploring yourself. So there will be no coop in the game

[dense hatch]

eh

[bleak crescent]

or something

[wise geyser]

Good

Basically CS:S type ragdoll, would work fine for a singleplayer, but in a coming multiplayer mode (if it's boutta be good ol' TDM) it'd be lacking in visual impact.

[timber violet]

I cant wait.

[dense hatch]

co-op "ruining the mood" doesn't seem like a huge deal if it's optional

[north iron]

What kind of sad excuse is this

[fluid abyss]

I don’t think they said anything about coop. There might have been some talk of multiplayer PVP a long time ago but idk what the stance is on that

[wise geyser]

Was never a thing

[boreal epoch]

Meh can't agree with that logic. Some people love to play coop and it's not always gonna ruin atmosphere. Would be still cool to give people option to play coop if They want but it is what it is

[bleak crescent]

i dont keep up with the updates

[solid dome]

Rational excuse, son

[pseudo rivet]

Co-op was never promised

[bleak crescent]

i swear they said it would be a thing earlier this year

[wise geyser]

That’s the dream man, I hope they have it tbh

[solid dome]

Coop was never on the drawing board I'd say

[still ridge]

They never said it has co op bro relax

[boreal epoch]

It was never announced tbh. We were promised multiplayer not coop.

[boreal epoch]

Nope it was never promised

[fluid abyss]

Eh, since I said it should be chance-based, you could just crank the crumple % to 0 for multiplayer modes

[north iron]

They did say it was coming in a free patch after launch

[solid dome]

Xactly

[still ridge]

Never, not once did they say they would add co op

[pearl olive]

who gave this man such a Ray of Hope

[still ridge]

No, they said MULTIPLAYER would come after launch

[pseudo rivet]

No, that'd be Multiplayer

[still ridge]

Stalker multiplayer is NOT co op

[fluid abyss]

you might have mistaken “multiplayer” for “coop campaign”

[terse shore]

ah, still would be nice for co op to be a option for those who want to play that way

[boreal epoch]

I do not remember that at all. Wasn't it about multiplayer?

[dire dagger]

Co op never has and never will be a thing with out mods

[rotund widget]

If it could be done then yeah, why not

[north iron]

Wait how is multiplayer not coop?

[solid dome]

No JOKe

[pseudo rivet]

TDM

Team Deathmatch shenanigans

[still ridge]

Because if you played the originals you know it’s simple game modes like CoD multiplayer

[prisma narwhal]

Chess is multiplayer, but not coop

[boreal epoch]

Multiplayer in old Stalker was just a Arena TDM type of game. Not coop.

[solid dome]

@north iron Grok devotee?

[fluid abyss]

PVE vs PVP

[hazy helm]

equipment

[hazy helm]

by, not being COOP

[pseudo rivet]

PVE was never promised, as far as I know

[hazy helm]

[blissful peak]

I'm sure once it's out someone will mod in coop just will take some time.

[north iron]

Man I thought they meant coop

[hazy helm]

quite the easy task

[silk sparrow]

Battle Royal, TDM, FFA, Capture, Stronghold etc etc

[still ridge]

Never

[pseudo rivet]

Aye

iNever

[tulip vapor]

Why is that official trailer in media? Which is normally fanmade stuff

[silk sparrow]

bloodsucker waves

[north iron]

No coop?
Fine I'll do it my self

[jade coral]

Probably has limitations like Ark, you have to be within certain circle ⭕️ around the co op partner

[silk sparrow]

IGN is a fanbois

[wise geyser]

The multiplayer mode should just be arena lmao like you can go to the Arena and choose wether to just play it normally like you normally would or there will be an option that says fight other stalkers or some shit and you 1v1 another player stalker in the arena for like skins and rewards and shit maybe something like that I guess

[boreal epoch]

Because it's IGN trailer I guess?

[pseudo rivet]

Is there an IGN member here with the Content Makers role?

[solid dome]

Rong

MP should be

Arena PVP
Arena PVE (Survival mode)

[north iron]

I hope not

[sullen matrix]

When yall think the online mode is coming ?

[wise geyser]

Yeah arena PvP

[hazy helm]

we know
the developers have told us no COOP for years now

[pseudo rivet]

Soon™️

[bleak crescent]

so why would coop be a bad thing?

[silk sparrow]

MP will be a meme

[hazy helm]

Online will be added after Release

[sullen matrix]

If its soon enough i will buy it on steam , other wise i will just play it on gamepass

[north iron]

That's the neet part, it wouldnt

[tulip vapor]

Could be interesting having mutant npcs and arch anomalies in a pvp battle

[hazy helm]

it is not in GSCs table bc it goes against the atmosphere they want to create

[sullen matrix]

Are we talking a year from now?

[solid dome]

Its not bad per se, however the whole game should be fit for it so it works naturally and not "out of the blue".

[hazy helm]

after release

[pseudo rivet]

I believe less, but I'm not sure

[wise geyser]

We talking whenever the devs are ready 💅

[tulip vapor]

Or asymmetrical stalkers vs mutants

[bleak crescent]

strange, i thought experiencing the zones horrors with my buddies would have been awesome

[sullen matrix]

Amen brother let them take they time

I just wanted to ask cuz i didnt find anything about multiplayer on the steam page

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, fair

[wise geyser]

It’s all about the expirence gsc wants the player to have in that sense like yeah you think it would be fun and year for you it prob would be but that goes against the vision they have for the game. Your a lone stalker your on your own and have to survive on your own, having others was not in gsc vision

[pseudo rivet]

We just know that they'll add MP after release. What we'll actually see, we don't know, but I figure that something like the Trilogy would be a logical assumption

[solid dome]

2-player coop would have required far more effort and more delays. You either design your game with coop mode in mind since the start or you don't.

[bleak crescent]

you can recruit companions though, no?

[pseudo rivet]

Hella X

[wise geyser]

Npcs and another person ain’t the same Brodie 💀

[tulip vapor]

Yeah lets have a good single player game as the priority then bolt on mp when possible

[solid dome]

Peace x Power

[sullen matrix]

Exactly
Do we have any info on how long the main story is ?

[worthy lagoon]

Deez Mama's Beads

[solid dome]

30 hours at least

[sullen matrix]

Ofc we still dropping hundreds of hours in it minimum regardless

[wise geyser]

The npcs can die when they with you and that’s it it’s over no comming back for them so you have to be realistic when taking them out as if you would a real person with particular skills another player can die with you and always respawn and come back to help again

[tulip vapor]

At my pedestrian pace, several hundred

[still ridge]

I think they said if you’re focusing the main mission it could be around 40 hours

I might be misremembering

[wise geyser]

Yeah

[sly matrix]

64 square km should give us plenty of time to explore

[solid dome]

Years with my pace

[tulip vapor]

lives in Yanov and never leaves

[fluid abyss]

Do you guys think that they removed the HUD for trailer purposes, or changed how the HUD works? (for example, the compass only appearing if you press a certain button)

[wise geyser]

Ong lmao that Ironman pace right there

Ironman pace is okay that shit like its actual you behind that screen lmao 😂

[celest goblet]

A lot of HUD elements will be able to be turned on and off according to them so probably they turned it off. They will be forced off on hard difficulty apparently

[tulip vapor]

You never know which footstep is a mine

[wise geyser]

You see a big ass pack of wolves that looks off and you second guess that mfer lmao 😂 compared to just master difficulty

[wise geyser]

Lmao exactly 😂

Man I hope they add Ironman bro

[tulip vapor]

Not the hardest mod to make

[sullen matrix]

So we still using the Ukrainian voice in this one also

I dont think using English vo would be fun

[fluid abyss]

Nice

[tulip vapor]

I'll use Ukrainian on 2nd playthrough. My ability to read subtitles in combat is nonexistant

[dim topaz]

Just delete your save if you die bro don't be a pssy

[wise geyser]

See that’s the thing I like skiffs English va but for the original trilogy even in English they still had that accent to them but so far from what I’ve heard it’s just pure English sounding

[stone field]

Wassup

[wise geyser]

Not the same man not the same… 😔

[indigo marsh]

Hello

[wise geyser]

I need that shit to say IRONMAN MODE completed

[sullen matrix]

Exactly i just heard the trailer now and tbh the english wasnt it for me

[fluid abyss]

I hate iron man modes because usually I’d die to something totally unrealistic

I am a softlock magnet

[dim topaz]

Post your screenshot, say it was iron mode, and I'll clap for you instead and record it, and send it to you

[wise geyser]

💀

[wise geyser]

Understandable

I’ve never really had that problem but I can see how that would be annoying asf lmao

[stone field]

Stalker is the best game

[indigo marsh]

Yes?

[hazy helm]

who was that guy who was campaigning for 7.62x39?

[fluid abyss]

I can’t believe the player just slapped on a non QD mount red dot on his rifle without tightening the knobs

Not to mention magically removing the irons in one second without a screwdriver, but that’s fine since it was offscreen (and would be an obnoxious extra animation)

[wise geyser]

Lmao I was more surprised about the sv-98 and that mfer with a damn shotgun in the under barrel 😂

[hazy helm]

@jovial sinewammo trader inventory from latest trailer bro

[bleak crescent]

im just asking because i dont remember if it was a gamma thing or base game

[wise geyser]

Got us a master key

[finite dragon]

Wassup bro

[wise geyser]

Look at those beautiful textures on the boxes

👌🗿👌 peak gameplay

[wise blaze]

how hard do you guys think itll be to make mods for this game?

[bleak crescent]

would the game be heavily censored because of ue5 terms ?

[stone field]

Оооооо какие люди

[solid dome]

Want it too

[finite dragon]

)

[wise geyser]

Boutta drop a casual 350 hours on this game on release Yktv

[fluid abyss]

Fellas, should there be extended death animations where enemies are fumbling or rolling on the ground?

Rn all the guns look like naptime dispensers the way bodies stop moving the moment they hit the ground

[wise geyser]

Something casual

[dim topaz]

Beautiful icons

[stone field]

BALLAS GANG FOUR LIFE

[wise geyser]

I’ve noticed that too but tbh idk maybe it’s just the clips we’ve seen

[hazy helm]

what terms

[wise geyser]

The thing is with cray they had a good ragdoll tech

Now with unreal I guess it’s not there

[fluid abyss]

Pretty sure old stalker was like this too, but imo I’d like to see longer deaths in games just because falling to the ground motionless gets old quick

[bleak crescent]

i dont remember them exactly but the terms of service for developers making games on the engine, like inclusiveness and no bad words n stuff

[wise geyser]

Or maybe we really have just seen bad clips

[finite dragon]

Hello Guys

[fluid abyss]

animations+still bodies is basically CoD lol

[wise geyser]

We shall see I guess

We’re only 13 days away from the zone boys

[nimble cipher]

michael_boatwright has been warned

[wise geyser]

Ha get Wolf’d

[hazy helm]

this is just, complete lie
there are guidelines for people contributing to the development of the engine
its called coding guidelines and its essential when you are collaborating with people you dojnt know from anywhere like when youre contributing to the UE Engine itself
Code Guidelines for Games are set by the developers themselves, Epic has no say in what the developers can and cant do in this regard
