@tired anvil is there new patches for SOC?
@finite dragon there is, even on steam (pre-1.0007)
It’s not a runtime virtual texture
I don’t know if source 2 has any deferred layers, pretty sure it’s just forward rendering for VR
so that would limit it quite a bit compared to other modern engines
Hi there.
Gee, I sure do wonder how Stalker 2 will let you do stuff like, leaning, low crouch, crouch jump and other PC exclusive movement options
If its automatic on PC
I will laugh
We'll see how it goes
If the game is gimped in anyway due to it also being on console, I am 100% positive it will flop
I'm assuming you died a lot, leaning is a one of the most useful mechanics in STALKER, let alone any fps on pc
Having a way to effectively shoot back without your whole body being exposed isnt something you used because you can pick corners
Your head is a much smaller target than your body
Lmao
Yes, it quite literally does
It is harder to hit something smaller
Not sure how your experience went, but i got shot a lot less when i started leaning and not exposing my full body
"Bruh its ok to get rid of options and features because I dont use them because I am not very good at FPS games just give me my spooky story :))))"
auto lean is so lame
sure you are
Nice one 
Seems rather obvious
You can never tell, some people are legitimately that obtuse
killing snorks with a knife.
Someone say snork
oh-
Boars and dogs die on 1-2 knife hits. Low armoured enemies as well.
That's why I use mods to make it like 100x more difficult. I wanna die in one bullet most of the time so
Dw, you can still 1hit knife boars, fleshes, dogs and pseudodogs in SoC
knife in CoP is deadly weapon.
Then again, if you want immersion you won't go using the knife all the time
No dude, you gotta min max because its 2020 and who cares about immersion or good atmosphere :)
We were promised immersion and atmosphere as the two most important things for S2. Better wait for release and then criticize if they lied or not
Sucking at FPS's doesnt mean you're casual
It just means you lack the eye-hand coordination to be good at something
Seems like it
Lmao
Boars and dogs are still a 1-2 hit kill, tested it yesterday. Must've misremembered about pseudodogs
Just right click dude
yea right click
In GoG version left click does more damage than right click, or at least the same. Don't quite remember on Steam
also what point are u trying to make that its easy to abuse ai in soc?
we all know ai is munted
Seen it, pretty wack video
He just go muted btw, better wait an hour till he gets unmuted to continue talking about him
Has there been any news on if the game will be running on unreal engine 4.0 or 5.0?
4
Just said Unreal Engine so far.
i think unreal 4 was mentioned.
Likely Unreal 4
escape from tarkov devs upgraded from one major unity engine update to another, hopefully it might be possible for GSC as unreal engine 5 looks incredible and very future proof
Rock_4 only mentioned Unreal Engine, not any numbers. Probably 4 though, kinda obvious. Might upgrade to 5 if time helps
🤞
I'll gladly play a 2006 looking game in 2020
Graphics doesn't come first for me, if the game is fun I'll play it
yeah it looks like it’s from 2015
it appears i have appeared
Welcome
@edgy isle
Already tried it and their other games, absolutely in love. If you want more retro looking games, specifically horror, check out Puppet Combo's games. Or of you're looking for other games like DUSK you should wishlist HROT and Hell Hunt on Steam.
I guess DOOM 2016 is kinda in that vein. And yeah, hopefully S2 will end up feeling nostalgic, can't wait to walk through Cordon already!
Hip fire was sometimes better than aiming through sights lol
Doubt it, they'd rather keep this detail as it was on STALKER 1. But we'll see
Eh, ADS has always been a part of retail STALKER so I expect it to be in S2 as well, no way they're going back with their current goal of being part sim.
However, if HL3 on the other hand came out and had ADS I would have a problem

The official trailer is super. The Rookie Village was particularly impressed.
Now it looks more... more realistic, or something.
Looks like it went through an earthquake
As befits a village that has survived several emissions.

If you've got something to say, spill the beans, otherwise, take a hike.
I would not mind living in Sidorovich's Basement, but I wonder where the bathroom is.
There's like a cthulhu looking thing behind the stalker
It's a bloodsucker x)
.
Need to sneak some construction supplies in and rebuild the Village
Iron sights are 100 percent going to be a thing
I can’t imagine why you’d think it wouldn’t
Why?
Stalker 2 was literally the only thing that got me excited to see out of the entire showcase
Can't wait to see the gameplay
i just realised we would get gameplay
it seems obvious
but i just didnt think about that
super excited
I'm not sure if they are using unreal 4 or 5 for their engine
most likely 4 but it looks so good that its hard to tell, and I mean that in a good way
Imagine how easy modding will be in comparison to x-ray engine
probably much easier, provided we get proper tools
I want gameplay what will crush ps5 graphics
NDA
what does nda stand for?
Yee
But i want gameplay i hope the graphics good as trailer
Maybe better with raytracing
Stalker 2 trailer has more views than xbox showcase itself
And more views than halo infinite
lol
@low jolt there are some studios that have been developing with unreal 5, like the dev team working Senua's Saga IIRC, so not out of the realm of possibility they could be using unreal 5
Especially considering if this game is still slated for the 2021 time frame
I am so disappointed with halo
Thank god stalker is coming to pc
No need for xbox
Well there will still need to be optimization on models and such, however, I'm sure the tri count is vastly greater than before, which for a 3D modeler that helps out a ton. More poly detail we can retain on the models
Which should allow for better looking character models
speeeeeeeen
who is that person that has no name?
I don't know
This looks like Unreal Engine 4. I mean, Quixel Assets make it look like UE5
But the tree shader is the most beautiful thing
Quixel Megascans, I'm sure are certainly used, they are practically an industry standard for level building, and the trees certainly look the best from what I've seen from an open world game of this scope and scale
Yeah, I wonder if the trees (movement/motion blur of the trees) is done in post processing or in the actual shader
so are maps in S2 going to be connected or still have loading screens
My favorite scene from the trailer, is the anomaly that crushes and drags the abandoned vehicles to it's center. I don't know why but it looked so great with the water and the VFX of the anomaly
so are maps in S2 going to be connected or still have loading screens
@alpine grotto No it will be an open world with no loading screens!
Only one, lasting for 3 hours 

@finite dragon I imagine it is probably the shader itself. Unreal 4 has been out for quite some time, so there has been alot of learning and figured out methods of achieving certain effects with the foliage. Either way, the end result, atleast for the trailer looks really good and seamless
Any news on the system requirements we need to be able to run the game without fps issues?
NDA, as always
Thankfully I've got a 2070 super, so I imagine I won't have too much trouble running it on high settings
Good to know that Cyberpunk won't be the only game that'll push this card 
Yeah my old 7700k probably won't be up to snuff for the game
But I have plenty of time to get it upgraded before the game's launch
Cyberpunk punk is coming wirh dls 2.0
So a 2070 super will be more than enough
Yall have good cards but I have 1060 6gb
Stalker 2 goes:BRRRT BRRT BRT
I will get a ps5 instead of upgrading my pc and play all the ps4 games i missed I am hyped for gow on ps5
@finite dragon I'm sure you won't have too much issues running the game at a playable frame rate if you fiddle with the setting, might not look the greatest but you'll be playing Stalker 2 nonetheless and thats what counts right?
If it comes down to it i will just do like what i did with red dead 2 i capped my frames to 30 and used a controller
Sounds like ya got a solid plan there

Oh god, I just realized the Snorks are gonna be even more terrifying this time

4K Snorks x5..... thats 16x the detail of horror
16x times the heart attacks, 4x sidrovich memes, it just works!
Incase i can't get around to modding
Please, someone add shungite plates and shungite helmet for psy protection
I hope there will be toilet destruction
yeah, i'm waiting for gunslinger port with misery on top
I'm waiting for someone to make Gunslinger work in SoC
|| I can port animations + hud models for some cash, you will just need to make world models for guns
||
Surely at one point everything can be ported out
yeah, especially when gunslinger requires tons of anim support
sure, vasyans will port it
Hello 👋
I'm waiting for someone to make Gunslinger work in SoC
@slim garden is that even possible?
I don't see why it wouldn't be
It's possible, it will just take time
From what I understand they made a whole new rig system in Gunslinger and I'm only guessing it could be ported to SoC as well.
They said they will never do it themselves but that doesn't mean it's not technically possible.
what brave soul would do this
im really looking forward to this
one could dream
Sky King :o
i offered porting some gunslinger hud models + animations for money. no one would go thru shoc and ball torture with developing animation support for gnsr guns - especially for free
if you can port some CoP gun into shoc - you can port gunslinger models too
LVtuner your in europe right? you dont have to tell me which country but just curious
yep
People here are all either from Europe or South America
i have a Gcard i wish i could give you but mail service for europe country is horrible
i mean from america to eruope
Are you by chance another South American?
it would probably cost me more then what the card is worth
close
i live in south florida
im NA and EU
Moved?
si senior
Makes sense for Sky King I guess
Never been close to Miami
europe too?
man the 108 bit of zone track released on the stalker 2 website is good af
btw how did you guys get roles?
with one huge map in stalker 2 there is no music transitions
europe too?
Yup
what do u mean?
gajunas will give you role
You can get roles here
thanks
Or yeah, if you ever decide to switch faction, you can tell one of the mods

You get some roles by leveling up here which happens the more you talk
All factions are cool and unique in their way. Can't choose 1 lol
99 left 
All factions are cool and unique in their way. Can't choose 1 lol
Can blindly click on one and stick with it

dont choose renegades or bandit
Bandit has the coolest music of all tho
i just chose monolith
Just look at what you believe is the best faction
Choose one with a good colour 
Does the Zone need to be protected or to be destroyed?
To be understood or to be plundered?
Stuff like that
protected obviously, if we destroy it RIP stalker games

but does destroying the zone remove the anomaly's 🤔
“destroying” the Zone makes it more mad
Making it more deadly and not destroyable
Aka Duty is wrong and bad


lol
is duty worse then monolith?
Way

worse

Nobody is any more or less worse than the rest
so is it ok for monolith to venture in bar and murder everyone?
wait so Duty wants to destroy the zone?
Yes
so is it ok for monolith to venture in bar and murder everyone?
If they actually do that

thats what they want to do
so is it ok for monolith to venture in bar and murder everyone?
People venture after the Monolith
||**Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!
The World fears The Zones expansion. Join Duty and save the innocent.
Stalker, protect the world from The Zone. Join Duty.**||

Yo Sky King, are you new to the game series btw?
they sound like the morally correct option
duty is just a protector of humans they arent bad they dont care to understand the zone just save lives..
no ive been on and off since 2016
they sound like the morally correct option
Wrong
They kill lives
It just means that more lives will be taken, mutants and stalkers alike
Whoever that doesn't agree with them basically
Will the day ever come when people understand that the Zone has quite some lovecraftian nature to it, where people are too small to understand what its nature is and how it acts? And that no matter the faction or the people, everybody is in the right in one way or another. And that's the whole appeal of the grey "moral" spectrum.
They swear to protect loners and such, then let them to die
ive played all but clear sky, but i spent most my time playing call of chernobyl tbh
CS is great
play CS but change voices to russian because english voice acting is aids
Ecologists are cool, wanna research the zone for the greater good
dude weed lmao
take a chill pill man
Freedom has no problem killing loners
Hawaiian is pretty aids tbh
Freedom has no problem killing loners
You mean Duty
@pseudo rivet yeah killing stalkers and mutants for the better part of the world not to experience the horrors of the zone, im just playing devils advocate btw

If duty had to for some reason, yeah
If you are blood thirsty then monolith is perfect 
yeah killing stalkers and mutants for the better part of the world not to experience the horrors of the zone, im just playing devils advocate btw
Trust me, it'll just make the Zone more instable and it'll cause the Third Disaster
All them thirsty Monolith bois praying every night
You do not want to do that
To advance on their goal of saving the planet, they occasionally kill free stalkers
Not to save the planet lmao

was a joke
Yeah, I know
Good job Edillon, you're boutta make Crimson snap w lore'ing
amazing
i just realized my discord picture is like a baby monolith in training
duty is unironically based tho
I mean i never liked how duty played militarized and so serious + destroying the zone only makes it worse lol
not as based as monolith and free stalkers though
From a thematic point of view, they are pretty neat
well they’re paramilitary, so logically I think they’d be good at combat
Too bad their models don't use Steel Helmets
i like duty
imo duty would be good against monolith
Heh
They’re a large paramilitary force
Spreading rumors of their "heroic" deeds at the Barrier, whilst Freedom holds it, with Free Stalkers volunteering
Why not make your own fan fiction faction 
No
Xd
i wonder if sin faction would return to stalker 2
Never 
Strider is based
im over here hoping that theyre might be co op like the ray of hope mod
Strider as stalker 2 protag?
Well, Sin is semi-canon
He's gonna be the replacement Freedom sniper from SoC that claps Duty
Lore-wise, that is

Nah
Spas-12 destroyed everything in the way lol, as val too


Can’t wait to play zone police as duty
Can't wait to actually see gameplay
Can't wait to see more models, so I can make suggestions on how to improve them
i cant wait to see sidorovich 
Assuming he's not dead
I want to see mutants
'Cause, boi, all those 4 Leather Jacket rookies are wearing beanies
Mercenaries were always a mystery tho. Just regular mercenaries i guess
beanies remind me of half life characters
Should've made it look more like the Leather Jackets of the previous games
@still ridge if it ain't Kruglov's Forest Goblin, idc 
You mean the keymanov emitter? @tired anvil
i just hope they keep using the sunrise stalker suit. the uniforms in SoC actually looks pretty dope
Rainbow Emitter Gang
probably
I think at some point we're gonna need to shoot them and they will have ear piercing screeching
new thing
It's not new
i just hope they keep using the sunrise stalker suit. the uniforms in SoC actually looks pretty dope
Yeah, the Sunrise Bodysuit was in the trailer
No gloves, though
And look at that goofy backpack
blood sucker has tentacles
Feel like it’s gonna be different
Razor sharp teeth
They always have
Old pickle jar mutant
bloodsuckers have a nose

oh man i forgot about that HUD im so used to playing with atleast some mods on
what? i remember them having tentacles instead of mouth, i always identified them as the mutants with tentacles for faces
dr zoidbergs
No they have teeth within the tentacles
And now they've also got teeth


they dont have a lower jaw
Dude got a big nose ngl
its got oxygen tanks
Never saw that bloodsucker there

It was also revealed with the statues at GamesGathering, I believe
btw, if gunslinger can be ported to SOC why can`t it be put in COC or Last day
not everyone can run Anomaly you know.
It can’t
It can’t be ported
ah, what a shame
What's gunslinger
@tired anvil mutant dlc
man i cant even imagine the stalker 2 mods thatll be on PC
@still ridge mutants in base game

It can be ported if you want to spend the next 1048305849 years trying
man, image more hardcore mods like last day on Stalker 2
new mutant pack, $5.99!
or weather mods
isnt last day the same as anomaly
No
¯_(ツ)_/¯
oh please no DLC honestly
idk
Funny, I was planning on making rookie village for UE4, havent done a ton of work but I started with some foliage https://i.imgur.com/yT9qvGO.png
I only accept DLC if it's on the same level as CS or CoP
DLC could be cool
I'd prefer everything in the base game without DLC
well yeah but without new maps @tired anvil
atleast not the cash grab DLC's where theres like 15 of them and provide very little cvontent
@urban belfry rookie village is already in UE4
Personally I disagree w you Edillon
they did say there won`t be anything "cash grabby"
Just everything in the base game
content* and i agree @tired anvil i would just prefer everything in the base game
I wouldn't mind DLC as long as its actual expansions
Make the game, lock some parts behind DLC. One life every hour and if you want more lives you can pay 1$ 
Like new content in general
I mean I was going to make my own, with custom content, nothing ported from STALKER
DLC that isn’t mindless nonsense
I guess
But with mods we'll have infinite amount of fan made dlc for free
Battle Royale DLC 
god no
Yeah mods make it irrelevant
Battle Royale DLC
Where we dropping boys?
It would be like war zone
Duga
co op DLC
We dropping duga
i wouldnt mind Sidorovich DLC with new hair
what if duga is like a super brainscorcher
Sidor Ross perhaps? 

what if duga is like a super brainscorcher
Basically what me and Crimson have been thinking
Or another brain scorcher since you see other antennas on the art
@raw oracle yo im dropping in the garbage'
Ohhhh yeah
Sidorvich took it over to advertise his bunker and scam more people
I never noticed that part of the poster lol @tired anvil
I think that is duga actually
im setting the bar so high for this game lmfao
im 2 excited
Duga has a different style for the antennas
Duga is pretty much square/rectangular where as the antennas on the back of the stalker look like brooms or smth
So it's different stuff
are those actual homes right next to it
Hey! How did you find my home?
why would you want to live right next to a huge antenna like that
your food will cook for you
^
Krug antenna ocmplex
Yep
i am more excited to see weapons
So that improves the theory that duga is basically a larger brain scorcher @tired anvil
i really dig the modern weapons from weapon mod pack for coc. sure hope for stalker 2 to have mixture of old and new weapons with attachments
Oh yeah no doubt about Duga being big Brain Scorcher
Can't wait to turn it off again
I hope someday a game will have gyrojet guns for the memes, like a mod or something
Mods will do that easily
man, image creepy pasta mods like siren head in misty places
In ue4
Can't wait for a new edition in the ZRP series 
can`t wait to see stalker 2 and what it can offer
Can't wait to do a PMm run
Gameplay trailer when
Do you remember what Sergiy said, Edillon?
no release date, but available for xbox game pass right at console release? 🤔
Didn't xbox do a "epic games" as someone said?
wait what, 4 months before xbox releases?
Before games release
Of course, we don't know if GSC ever agreed to follow this method
Duga
But if they did, the game could possibly come out in early 2021
More like Brain Scorcher 2
oh ok i see
What will come out first, ray of hope or stalker 2 
Yeah S2 is probably releasing in 2021
Was the trailer in the game itself or was it all pre rendered?
Pre rendered
it was all in engine
Ray of Hope already has beta testers playing the game so i wouldnt say that
It “aims to achieve level of graphics pictured” @raw oracle
Stalker 2's trailer indeed looks like something from an engine
But idk, maybe I have a bad sight xD
ray of hope could potentially release before S2 depending on how far S2 is in development
I'd love to see some gameplay of S2 first
i want to explore the zone with my friends, tarkov is totally different
^
nah, if you want to explore zone with your friend just wait for solid project like xrmpe

Dang, chad dev team dont need no 3rd party advertisers, huh?
you have no faith in RoH?
Can someone add bloodsucker smile 
damn, thats too bad. i liked the look of its HUD and everything
RoH will never come out and will just be mmo tarkov garbage
DayZ in the zone is the experience we all want, right?
Xrmpe is the only one worth caring about
Sounds familiar
XRMPE is getting only 18 dollars a month compared to RoH which is getting over 518 dollars
@native ibex absolutely not, if I wanted to play dayz I'd play dayz
But it has active devs I think
@strong siren irrelevant lmao
RoH has active devs
Paid mods?
Sounds pretty Bethesda, ngl
Xrmpe isnt paid, hes talking about patreon dollars
tbh idc im actually happy that a multiplayer stalker mod is getting any attention
What's even the difference between those mods
Xrmpe isnt tarkov mmo garbage and is actually moddable
And has the ability to host your own servers
RoH will have ONLY official run servers, no community servers
Based
Very based
suvarium took the route of Coop and look what happen to them.... just saying bro... just saying
.
stalker is ment to be a solo game
^
i hope xrmpe devs will sell their engine, or at least share - i would like to make some bildota coop 
BILDY COOP
olr 2.5 maps + aaa graphics + gunslinger + coop and i can die

Bildosoldat army patrolling belarusian zona and killing bildy controllers
Kino....
Gunslinga
What do you think the new mutants will be?
I hope we get karlik i love killing them with a shotgun
why
Why
why do you like killing karliks with a shotgun bro.....
does your mom know about this?
you know something
Duty declared war on CS in Anomaly...
No context, I just got the message on my pda
Sounds like mod logic
Yes
At least Snitch can keep them from murdering me for 10k Roubles It ain't too much since I have 300k+
I mean i wouldn't trust a guy who's name is literally snitch but oh well
@sinful sky https://prnt.sc/todb2v
I hope to see things like the counterpart or the creature in the fog from the bildies
Idk the 12 gauge hitting them is so satisfying
I WANT NAKED BURER BACK
Wack
Bring him BACK
Karlitos are an LA creation
They do not exist in any bildies
The only reference to karlito in the builds is just the texture for the naked burer as they were both called karliks with the gnome guys so the filenames needed differentiation
Do not TEST me bro

Yeah so just add Karlito
theres actually a mutant on a stalker 2 picture ive seen that looked pretty frightening
No No NO NO NOOOOO
Which picture?
its a tall wood creature in a forest
yea
Oh
Fun fact, he's canon

Kruglov foudn him
Antropomorphus Dendromutantus Vulgaris
Ayup

yea that thing would be pretty scary to run into at night
It won't show up in S.T.2
except it looks like hes saying "IDK bro"
Dudes confused
Give m cheese instead
If i saw that while playing i would genuinely poopoo myself

Sounds chad
idk once he left in pripyat

he doesnt seem like the type of guy to come back to the zone
What?
yea didnt he escape with you in CoP at the end
wasnt he the same dude?
SSP-99M Suit guy
You talking about Strelok or Sokolov
There's no Kruglov in CoP
This is Kruglov
This is Kruglov
Talking about me?
wait.. so who was the guy in CoP at the bunker
Talking 'bout Kruglov
Nope, about Kruglov
Strelok
lol
wait.. so who was the guy in CoP at the bunker
Sokolov
Wack

i thought he looked familiar

is he really working on stalker 2 AI?
Not sure, but he is working on S.T.2
Doubt they are
Just Fandom wackage
I suggest to make use of the RU wikis, both Fandom and Gamepedia
I'd have to re-check on what he's working on, but I think he's helping w the A-life
According to a Russian article about his return, he is working as a lead programmer again
Me and the boys playing stalker 2 in xbox 360
thats pretty good, i like his work with AI on SoC
He worked on all 3 games so he clearly has some experience with both AI and GSC
lets be honest here. in 2007 i dont think there was AI as advanced was there?
in a game i mean
FEAR, I think
Airline job at Survarium 
Not as complex, because they are scripted enemies
In STALKER, NPCs walk around
Combat-wise though, I think FEAR is better
idk i would have to play it
when i first played it nothing seemed out of the ordinary
its a linear game too so it isnt as obvious
in clear sky every granade kills me
STALKER AI was supposed to beat the game before you
In what way?
from what i know the original idea for stalker AI was they were supposed to figure out the zones secrets before the player which then alters the ending
and they could walk around the zone collecting artifacts then walk to the bar and sell them for money for better guns
they basically lived their own life
the original AI was able to beat the game entirely
Yeah, I remember reading about that in an article.
They made the AI a little too good in the early days, that's for sure. XD
imagine getting to the wish granter and there's like ten other loners there already
Xd
Yeah, that'd be a bit cheating. XD
A-life 2.0 perhaps?
depends on what the endgame is gonna be, but i'd love to see more intelligent a-life
Alife 2.0 is confirmed
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2176447677
Not spam, it's tasty :3
i think i read too before that AI had to buy their own ammo they didnt have infinite ammo. if they ran out they would run away
that sort of AI immersion would be pretty cool
o
@hard stirrup is this from the podcast interview he did a few months ago or a completely different one?
Thanks
Unreal Engine 4/5 is going to make development for STALKER 2 easy as breeze
idk maybe
Microsoft will definitely help
the hard work of the engine is already done they are just adding and altering it so i guess its true but im not a developer
at least they are not creating an engine from scratch
despite what they achieved with X-ray engine back then, but it was bad.
yea they built the engine from scratch
and they were a small inexperienced studio as well
UE4 is the best engine on the market and the perfect engine for stalker 2
yea i think so too
Anyone who thinks otherwise and wanted xray 2.0 is delusional and doesn't understand how the world works
i like they chose UE4 but theres something in X-ray engine that other titles dont have. some of the mods people put out for stalker on X-ray engine i didnt see in a lot of AAA titles
X-ray engine i think was ahead of their time
Xray engine was ahead of its time in 2002
By the time 2007 rolled around it was outdated, hell even its memory management and other things were behind the curve in 2002
I'm praying that the gunplay isnt like far cry, slow and tense is much better for this kind of game
i hope my gtx 1050 3gb will run this beauty i know it's impossible but ahhhhh hopes
but in some scenes in stalker people created in mods looked like it was rendered in RTX
That's just rendering
the lighting
@finite dragon nope. 1050 is barely running man
And a lot of that is just modifying the hell out of the engine
Normal xray can't and won't do that
i was just playing Clear Sky vanilla today and it some scenes looked like RTX yea
If cs looks like it has ray tracing then you've never seen ray tracing
@north forum 480p resolution is fine for me xd
@finite dragon the lighting near evening time
Youve never seen raytracing if you think it looks like thay
Sorry, but you're just wrong
people hate this mod but in stalker complete for SoC he managed to get the game looking pretty good at certain times of the day in certain areas it looked real
Lol
Complete
If you wanna see actually good looking stalker look at soc with texture mods and OGSR engine
yes complete graphically
im talking about lighting
not added things like reflections and stuff
Complete does nothing to the engine and is just weather and texture changes
well then that proves my point even more. because he managed to get it looking that good without altering anything engine wise
yea bro for sure
is very good
@finite dragon 4a engine but its just xray but mega modified, file structure is all the same
i gues you can somewhat see that the engine is a bit old if you look a lot closer
Yeah, I recalled something about the engine being related to xray. x)
no big surprise since you can still (atleast) hear stalker assets in metro redux
like that ugh damage sound from soc
cs?
well x-ray was state of the art in 2000 and it was still pretty good in 2007
now add highly detailed textures plus very good lightnin
you get that pic
Out of nowhere but I hope main character stays mute in-game
it already had good lighting
thats also why cs looks so good for 2008
this is all i wanted to show. its complete mod BTW
yea, x-ray isnt a cluster f
good engine, but outdated
Its still a really bad enigne
Very unstable, unstable SDKs, things will crash for no reason
Terrible error logging
i know its a cluster f, but not a total one
Source came out 3 years before xray and absolutely kicks its butt
and even that is outdated now
i mean hl2 came a few years earlyier
and im only talking about the graphics nothing else
impressive what x-ray can do
What u think about this trailer?
who would have thout that the cod4 map is going to get a standalone
🤨
stalker 2 will utilize ue5 when its available? well xray on anomaly is really good engine, dx11 and avx
Only UE4
So its coming to XBOX and PC, with it on XBOX Game pass, but is it gonna be available on steam? thats what im wondering.
So what's gonna come out first, Ray of Hope or STALKER 2? 🤔
This game will be in Steam, i think
So what's gonna come out first, Ray of Hope or STALKER 2? 🤔
@fresh garnet 😂
I mean
Ray of Hope looks dope
at least Modders can rest easy knowing that so long as you have UE4 you can pretty much mod this to your hearts content xD
S.T.2
Ray of Hope - UE4 edition?
no
Hehe
Gonna be surprised if RoH manages to come out before S2
X-Ray edition)))
Their last update is from June 24th
https://www.moddb.com/mods/ray-of-hope-co-op-online/news/ray-of-hope-cbt-update
Looks pretty nice
That's nice of them
XRMPE tho
I like it

XRMPE tho
@pseudo rivet RoH better)
)))))
so they basically need someone to make the game
😂
Experience with X-Ray engine
That's too specific and rules out 99% of LUA programmers out there
Still, a great effort
are there any new mods or plans for mods? i haven`t seen anything new after Anomaly
Not really new but, misery+gunslinger is kinda fun
ah..
gunslinger + last day would be awesome to have
Does Gunslinger work with Autumn Aurora?
No
Boo
Gunslinger is for cop and autumn aurora is for soc, its whole different engine
Got it
@vestal vine i would expect ue4 will be upgraded into ue5 soon
But it no about s2👍
i do think STALKER 2 has been upgraded to Unreal Engine 5
Unreal Engine 4.5 
Open X-Ray 👌
that question about gunslinger would prolly get more traction in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
unfortunately I don't have the answer or I would tell you myself though :P
which game did you start to play first?
:C
Insert Sabaton reference here
My tank :\
you said to destroy it or we get shelled :(!
Destroyed
Heh nice
swearing is a nono @true cedar
Oof my iq is low, I forgot what it meant. I have low storage in my brain
X-ray engine 2, featuring frequent Raytracing related crashes
anomalies form because they form.
an anomaly forms cause of anomalies in physical atmosphere 🙂 xd
Will STALKER 2 run on Linux? 🤔

^^
I started with Shadow of Chernobyl.
I bought the whole package during the Steam summer sale
I skipped the pregame,

Imo it's best to play the “pregame” after SoC
What's the pregame?
Clear Sky
Ah
And your friend a bit wack ngl
1 to 2
Why the hell would you skip clear sky
Because his friend advised him to
I don’t see why not, it’s a prequel
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You get one for forming the team
SoC, CoP, CS
How many people on your team?
Not a bad order
That's if he plays CS
Never bothered playing CS 
wrong answer
I got Zulu, The Ex-Monolith, and Sokolov.
You're not a real stalker if you didn't play all games
I know, I can't remember his name.
Vano
Bruh
I did get him, couldn't remember that name
Restart
Why restart
He didn’t have Vano?
He did
I really liked the quest (quest spoilers ahead) ||were there is someone kidnapping people and drinking their blood because he has somd mental sickness but no one suspected him and everyone thought it was mutants||
that quest really freaked me out first time i played it
That one was neat
I heard somewhere achievements affected the gameplay, is it true?
Well
The amount of sidequests you do
And you get achievements for the side quests
So in a way yes and no
how do I mark as spoiler?
I tried to do the mission after arriving in Pripyat, but I couldn't because for some reason an Emission started as soon as the mission started
Thanks
You do ||
So I had to wait until that went by. Wasn't the best but meh. Got it done anyways.
in that quest ||you can see him devouring his victim through a small crack in a window||
i have to replay CoP because of that lol I never noticed
Tremor seems unable to hit his brain!
||I really enjoyed putting a bullet in that guys head ngl||
Before I go back to what I was doing, which weapon is recommended for Call of Pripyat?
Eliminator was a pretty cool shotgun
I usually order a Eliminator and FN2000 from nimble
I have a SGl-5k I max upgraded from the engineer at Yanov
though AS VAL might be a better option than the FN2000
G36 gang
Eliminator? Never heard of it
Isn't that Protecta from Nimble?
Absolutely shreds any mutant if its upgraded
Ah wait i searched it up and yeah i have seen it
I remember when i was extremely low on ammo so i took it and cleared a bandit camp lol
I mean it was pretty satisfying to kill in CoP but I was like if it has to die it has to die
true
is Anomaly that good as others say? I tried it a few months back and it felt underwhelming
justice for ISG.
I just remembered I was trying to make a short film in SFM a few years ago and never finished it
it involved a controller. Still have that script in mind
Maybe you should try and finish it
Maybe I will. The thought if it creeps around every other week and only recently I have found the very little motivation to get back into animating
With the teaser and some info out I'm quite interested what that construction at the end of the trailer was, is that something that exists in the zone today or something that was built in the games timeline, and is it something old or new (like a defense wall)
It's duga radar, it exists in real life
ah thanks, looks propper eerie in real life, fits the game perfeclty 😄
Small question, in the released info they said the zone will be seamless, how well does the Unreal engine nowadays handle open world?
EDIT: Either open world or cleverly hidden loading seams, I know a game that used DOOMs engine (Killing Time) that managed to have a somewhat open world by cleverly hiding zone transitions
