well what is it
nothing else outside the trailer that was shown

where's the earliest place I can get a scope?
in soc, yeah
That's definitely one of the places to get one
Still, I think you can get it earlier
I know that bullet has a quest with a reward for a scope, but all the quests would be easier if I had one
wait if GSC user color tag is green................ ARE THEY MILITARY? OHSHI - you have been removed from the server
230 monolit online o_o

lol 17 renegades online only
I don't like monoliths

I know that bullet has a quest with a reward for a scope, but all the quests would be easier if I had one
@wind onyx, nah, scope doesn't really affect the gameplay. But, you can get one unique TRs-301 with scope at Military Warehouses or find GP37 at the same place

what warehouses?
Location
better start stocking up on bolts and start exploring the zone chubak
and some tourist delight
I'm just following the pda, g
Welp,you can freely explore it by yourself 
yeah, but I'm afraid that I'll get lost in a save-loop
wdym
you're on low health, and you save. you fill up all your save slots for emergency, and you can't really go back
you can just hard save
yeah, but those probably can get filled up too
you know
yeah, but those probably can get filled up to
and?, i have like 100, not a problem
and that number is too little 
yeah, but those probably can get filled up to
@wind onyx, no, lol
eh, fine

do you prefer spending 10 seconds give-or-take sorting the saves (that you can later delete btw) or spending 40 minutes replaying the segment?
what is suppose to emote that sidorovich emoji? like "take it or leave"? "it is what it is"?
Depends on the person, I guess
how do you use it chubak crimson?
I'm just really dumb so I can't think
I usually just use it as a sort of "Eh", "I see" or "I don't agree with you but can't be bothered"
first thing to become inteligent is to realize that you lack understanding of something
that you did, now let the curiosity do its thing and guide you to knowledge
oh yay, I'm smart now

is the tunder with the good ammo any good?
so im gonna be doing a youtube series of my first time playing stalker : shadow of chernobyl
is there anything i should install before i do for the sake of making it a better quality experience
like texture's/mods or anything
or should i just play it completely vanilla
Play modded for sure
One second
https://github.com/OGSR/OGSR-Engine/releases/tag/2.1.112 download this and drop the bin_x64 and gamedata folder into your SoC folder
which link am i downloading? all 4 assets right?
OGSR_Engine_SHOC_EDITION_x64_2.1.112_Release.7z
just that, then inside of the bin_x64 folder go ahead and make a shortcut to the xrEngine.exe and add -steam to the end of the launch parameters inside the properties
so right click the shortcut -> properties
then write at the end of the target, "-steam" with no quotes, it should look like this "F:\Steam Games\steamapps\common\STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl\bin_x64\xrEngine.exe" -steam when you're done except
not the f:\ whatever, thats just my drive
https://www.moddb.com/mods/original-weapons-renewal-3-for-soc/downloads/owr3-soc then download and install this, this is a better weapon pack
Oh, nononono
https://www.moddb.com/mods/photo-realistic-zone-2/downloads/photo-realistic-zone-21 you can also try this to help add to the texture quality
I recommend playing vanilla if it is your first time
nah, play modded
If you start having too many bugs try using a mod then
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YIuhQEa-3Y while this video's mod isn't exactly what i sent you, this should prove to you why vanilla is nolonger needed
64 bit engine, 100% better weapon models, improved visuals
the mod he showcases actually uses the same OGSR x64 engine that i sent you @radiant aurora
however he's playing OGSR mod, not SoC with OGSR Engine
so it'll look different, but still better
I'm telling you, if it's your first time playing I recommend 100% playing it vanilla
As it was meant to be played
No bs and master difficulty
yes
@pseudo rivet Crimson we need you, tell Kirby what is ISG and Sin
Idk why but yeah we do
Then, @edgy spindle, tell me what was ISG and Sin
@grand pendant We need you
I think Pinging offline people isn't optimal

So Crimson, I need you to tell @edgy spindle what exactly ISG and Sin was once again, why ISG doesn't exist, etc
What they are?
Non-Canon

We basically know nothing about them
The builds and desdocs barely have anything
Okay
ISG - Research group from the UN
SIN - Supposedly a group of cultists controlled by a mutant
That's as much as we know
I TOLD YA @finite dragon
What did he say this time?
ISG is not UN,you have no proof of that
Then I likely confused myself again
Nah, actually
They're UN
It's in the name
International
Same with how the perimeter has international troops
kek
@pseudo rivet But either way, there is no proof of them existing right?
Hog mentioned UN, not ISG
The ISG faction is mostly fan fiction
the only proof of existence is some cut stuff from Clear Sky
Just UN, yeah
The scientist at the start of Clear sky were supposed to be ISG
Same with how Nimble mentions UN observers
If they all have GP-37s and FT-200Ms, they're pretty well equipped, too
You would think that they would have better masks than GP-37s tho
if they are a western faction they should probably have some AVON stuff
GP-37 is a rifle


@finite dragon нет, есть русские каналы

@finite dragon @edgy spindle
ISG was a scientist squad being led through Generator by Scar, then this was changed to Scar leading ecologists through the Swamps.
Sin was a faction settled at Army Warehouses, it's said that they were controlled by mutants, but that might be a misstranslation. (there is a mention of them stealing documents and being pursued for that). One day, their PDAs disconnected at once and the faction vanished.
not much more about them
I'm still right and I got more info
you don't, because there is no more info
their name being International Science Group doesn't mean they were UN specifically
Crimson is not keen on cut-content either, he's more of a vanilla nerd 

Pretty sure the models you see online are fan-made
nope, those were in build 3120
Guess GSC lazy and wack
and we can speculate that Sin wore only trenchcoats, from their little descriptions
I doubt any group not in an official position would have a devil of a time getting stuff capable to survive the Zone
agreed
nope, read what you said again
UN it B
I doubt any group not in an official position would have a devil of a time getting stuff capable to survive the Zone
meaning any bastard could get their hands on something to survive in the Zone
they are scientists as well, i'd assume they are smart guys
"i doubt any group not in an official position would have a devil of a time getting stuff capable to survive the Zone"
Correct
so, you doubt any group who isn't in an official position having a devil of a time getting good gear 

Still not unwoke
i mean, just Freedom created compounds in a few years capable of resisting radiation, anomalies, and other Zone conditions
these guys most likely worked on it since 2006 to 2011
placeholders, most likely
Kinda X but 'kay
speculating on their suits is a waste of time, they weren't even developed on anything more than that 
This whole topic is a waste of time
accurate
yeah but not official answer 
i doubt we'll ever get one either, those writers are most likely out of the new team either way.
yeah, they chase a guy who didn't have a metal bucket for his shoes 
nvm you meant UN 

kekekek
kek
ISG has cool uniform,sad they didn't get implemented

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 Isg and Sin confirmed??!!??! (This is a joke do not take it seriously)
most likely wasn't implemented because it was a bad idea, just like any other cut groups
like the black slugs 
WAIT WHAT
Accurate
There's more than 2 cut factions?
Yeah I guess
I separate cut features into two categories
3 actually
Cut,Scrapped and Forgotten
Cut almost made it into the final game
Forgotten were features that were forgotten about,duh
Scrapped where features that were totally scrapped,duh
not a bad separation
So I only count ISG and Sin as cut,because you don't hear much about the other ones
Can you tell me more about those other "cut" factions?
Forgotten would likely include doppelgängers.
Can you tell me more about those other "cut" factions?
sure
so, allegedly there is another Bandit group, not a faction, called 'the Deadmen'
guarded the entrance to x18 and their behaviour was pretty renegade-ish.
Black Slugs were in the outskirts of the Zone, like Cordon, Garbage, had a base in Dark Valley. And their behaviour was very renegade-ish, as well
I see most of these factions weren't implemented due to similarity to others?
Or them just not having a place in the game
Hm,good point,also by factions I mean groups aswell
another faction for your Forgotten Category. Final Day
Not forgotten
They study the Zone, believe that the world is heading towards the end of the world and that soon the territory of the Zone will increase many times over, there will be several countries in the Zone whose population will not have time to evacuate. Tracking down and studying zombie stalkers, developing theories about psychotropic weapons and influences.
Also,what would be "doppelgängers." ?
they were mentioned only ONCE in game. And have 1 line of text in design documents
Also,what would be "doppelgängers." ?
this is a cut feature
basically, an early CS plot had stalkers being cloned
They're basically a copy of another Stalker
"Last Day" faction counts as partly cut?
Sounds amazing,for a mod,not for normal S.T.A.L.K.E.R
so even retail CS has bits of this old plot. By having more than 2 bodies of the same stalkers
2 Boltins, 2 Stringovs, 2 Lingovs
An Emission can hit a Stalker so hard, it rips a Stalker in two, with an original getting a clone
This clone would gradually degrade into a Zombified stage
2 Valerians, but it was explained that the Red Forest Valerian was an easter egg
"Last Day" faction counts as partly cut?
Kinda, I guess?
An Emission can hit a Stalker so hard, it rips a Stalker in two, with an original getting a clone
So this is how babies are made
Final Day, by the way
Kirby has a forgotten category on his personal ideas, so i mentioned Final Day for that one
it's not cut, no, Because it appears in-game

Don't forget about the "Unknown" faction 
Interception, at least
Technical faction used for like everybody you don't know
Thing is, Diggers and Shamans appear more than once in 2 games. Final Day only has 1 mention in the whole trilogy
Same with that group of Stalkers who managed to tame mutants
We don't even know their name
Was the "Strangers" faction real?
imagine not having Station 32 in-game 
I see alot of people talking about the "Strangers" faction in Lost Alpha,and makes me wonder if it was cut from S.T.A.L.K.E.R Really

Was the "Strangers" faction real?
nope
Lost Alpha is not a cut content source, it's its own story
Lost Alpha adds a bunch of fanfiction to cut features
Just fan-fic
I was hoping for a mod that would literally add cut features but no let's throw in a bunch of fan fiction
play OLR for that
OL, I guess
or wait for OLR 3.0, which will even add Level 12
like the black slugs
what's the,black slugs?
like Renegades but bandits
Like Renegades
But even weaker than Renegades, for sure

also Crimson, heard "Gromov" being the leader of Interception 
that's a transliteration of Thunderov
Black Slugs usually attack wounded stalkers
How many cut factions and groups are there?
A lot
Not counting ISG and Sin
Yeah, I believe there aren't that many
Oh wait, in OLR?
in general
Cut-content
How many cut factions and groups are there?
Black Slugs
Final Day
Druids
Deadmen
Unknown (technical)
Seekers (Clear Sky)
Ah, so most likely a lot
Druids = Shamans
Well...
Secret locker in GSC headquarters with 500+ cut factions
Seekers was an early faction of Anarchy Cell, no?
What are seekers and unknown?
I don't know. I don't play a lot of mods, you know.
What are seekers and unknown?
First faction - group of scientists, the second one is technical group used in builds for scripted npcs
Seekers might have been another Sin try lmao, but not sure about it, don't remember clearly
oh that
the guys at Generator?
Hm. I can't remember
i remember ISG supposed to be there, and Delta squad
What even is druids? do they heal people? lmao
They live in harmony with the Zone
You mean hippies
hippis but cool
They live in peace with the Zone and believe that bringing electronics and metallic objects angers the Zone
They sound like a Sin 2.0
Nah
not at all
Are they a faction or a group?
Group
They say there’s this one gang... People call them Shamans or Druids. So it appears they don’t use any electronic equipment at all, say they want to stay close to the nature and stuff… Well, they reason the Zone reacts stronger to equipment… To all this electromagnetic emissions or something… They say it attracts monsters. Basically, they believe the Zone is like a living being, you know. Like, it’s no good going into it with all these gadgets. If you’re right in your mind you’ll get by fine without ‘em. Doesn't stop them from carrying assault rifles, though… Guess the old teeth and nails are not up to the task, eh? But then again, you don’t hear a lot of stories about one of them kicking the bucket. Well, at least no more than about us… So, who knows, maybe they are on the right track there… They seem to be coming more from the Belarussian side, though… I’d like to have a look at them one day and check out their pockets for some artifacts…```
Most of them come from the Belrussian parts of the Zone
inb4'd
Kinda, I guess
this is not cut though, 100% canon
Or GSC forgot to cut it
i wouldn't say they are a group either. They seem to be alone
Or GSC forgot to cut it
He do
They usually forget to cut everything 
meh, i don't think so
i remember ISG supposed to be there, and Delta squad
Bruh delta squad?
Hermit also believes that the Zone is whatever you make of it
Be it a gift or a curse
Bruh delta squad?
Just some joke
What you believe of the Zone, that is what the Zone will be for you
Delta Squad was ISG, pretty much
just another name
but when talking about cut-content, separation needs to be made
Delta Squad was ISG, pretty much
Delta Squads? Wha...
Just bring UN into the zone in S2
I want to make myself some target practice from these heads in blue buckets
Kek
https://stalker-ru.gamepedia.com/ООН
Unfortunately I can't understand a single symbol
yep, translator works great
Google Translate?
or auto-translate
All you should know
the UN is scientist group, that appeared on the Generators in build 3120. They wanted to research some anomaly zone and then Emission happened. Scar was helping them.
UN, ISG, Delta squad
They were replaced with scientists from the intro
Let's kill some blueheads
as i said, they are the same, but separation needs to be made
in the documents, Generators were the things that caused the Emission. So Emissions came from Generators, which is based. But no in-game mention, so not canon
Yeah. Builds mention that the main center of explosion wasn't CNPP, but Generators.
But it's not canon
in-game it is mentioned that the epicenter of the explosion is directly the CNPP, so it deletes that
website got wrong dates, bruh
Website also explains that
THQ? Nah
and remember Rock saying "only canon is games"
is it worth murdering the dude at the bar for the sniper okoban?
In the CNPP there's some circular things like the Generators 
is it worth murdering the dude at the bar for the sniper okoban?
Nope
but the CS concept of Generators is different from SoC
there was a whole map dedicated to them
You can get better weapons without killing anybody
and another map with 1 single generator called, Generator 
and remember Rock saying "only canon is games"
What about my super cool Collector's Edition Survival Guide?

send a pic 

Kekw
Don't forget about the main secret faction of the whole series 
Lowest part
A little amount of people know it
It looked like a radioactive explosion at the nuclear plant occurred. The army sealed off the Zone... The explosion epicenter was a kilometre away from the nuclear plant. Obviously, some tests had been held there and they caused the disaster.
i wish that was the canon thing, because it even got the "correct" date
but i guess only games are canon anyway
When this guide was released?
It's in the Collector's Edition
it came with the cool box
I need dates, Mason.
likely the same day SoC was released
Because if it was manufactured in the 2007-2008 period it could have some mistakes
20th may 2007
It's SoC's
the box might've been made long before that though
Likely 2007
Ah
I'll check it later
i almost bought the Collector's Radiation Edition in a shady videogames store in another city, but it was missing almost everything 
thankfully we can read it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SecUYRztZcU&ab_channel=ShooterGameBox
Hell. English loc sucks for real. In this cutscene Doctor sounds like he doesn't give a damn. In Russian version he calls for him more natural, like a real man would.
Compare this https://youtu.be/4j7WlR6bRWQ?t=204
To that https://youtu.be/owtywHeyM7g?t=758
boys
meh, both sound alright
I coud only post the news in memes
All characters in English don't sound so serious and all
find it there
that's the dub though, actual english localization (text) is objectively better, because it fixes many issues
I prefer the Russian Strelok
Like boy, remember the quest in Pripyat where the soldiers sent a radio signal to the Major?
You heard how they sound in the radio?
What does VA mean?
All characters in English don't sound so serious and all
yep, somethimes stalkers sounds like the cientists from the first Half-Life
Ever noticed how Strelok has three different Voice Actors?
voice acting
CoP Strelok is actually that Bandit from Transaction
yeah, in CS he soundsgay

Lmao 
when you pick up the PDA lmao
I like the Russian voice acting, sounds hella nice
anyone up to watch me stream stalker later today?
Imho the english voices in CoP were terrible
"Howdy ho" sounding like he's on tons of meth trying to put a gun in his own mouth
SoC nailed it in that field

hopefully this year, or early 2021
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2? What do you mean? It doesn't exist
The game is coming out in 2021 according to the old website
^
will STALKER 2 be able to run on the budget xbox series s?
hopefully, but not sure if there is any official answer to that
damn, i just hope that i dont get the budget one and fine out it cant run it
will STALKER 2 be able to run on the budget xbox series s?
@mystic stream, sure
idk man, the official website says it will only run on x and pc
XSS > PS5, and S2 is optimized for XSS/XSX, i am pretty sure that it will be able to run in 60fps 
then again, i dont know when the official website was last updated
then again, i dont know when the official website was last updated
@mystic stream, https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/stalker-2
Series X/S
Optimized for Xbox Series X/S
4K UltraHD
oh damn

np
also, has anyone ever actually read roadside picnic, or is it just me?
Some people read it. Some. 
oh, i would think that more people would have read it, since its only about 120 something pages long
and the pdf exists online for free

Is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R "Zone Chronicles" Wiki reliable?
yes, the most reliable source of cut-content
for actual retail content, the most reliable source is russian fandom wiki
AH OOO AAAUUUUGAA big pseudo milkys
Booby
anyone down to watch me die in stalker?

soc
aw
anyone down to get slaughtered by a chimera in stalker 2?
me, i
Duty? Do you mean OH GOD PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT ANOMALIES, MUTANTS AND BANDITS
development kinda slow ngl
@finite dragon
Imagine TES 6
Imagine Starfield
Imagine Cyberpunk
Imagine new Witcher DLC

Imagine any other AAA game
Do you know something if it will be just one player or will we have the great surprise of sharing with our friends in a cooperative way?
so basically
right after the bar, i went to rostok
i fought some bandits, and got a decent scoped rifle
i got the stalker suit btw
i move a bit further into rostok, and i gotta rescue this one ecologist
and i have absolutely no idea where to take him, and he's dying every second
and i have absolutely no idea where to take him, and he's dying every second
you have to follow him
talk to him
aight, now you have to take him to yantar, or well near the exit to yantar
what's yantar?
check the pda map, yantar is at the left and a bit south of wild territory (you're in wild territory)
what's yantar?
a place filled with very friendly people
ohhh, you mean the bar place?
what
place with lots of stalkers
no, it wa sarcasm, yantar is filled with zombies adn stuff
let me get you an image to the place
ah, so i just escort him there?
to near the entrance, then he'll leave you and give you some usb iirc, and then you go to yantar to speak with him and some other person
whenever you want i guess
i haven't even been to x16 yet
||x16 is after this, you have to do this to get to x16|| spoiler
wait, what was the first lab?
not reading spoiler btw
x18
OHHH, well i haven't been there either
bruh, you have to go there,, and get the documents for the barkeep
x18 is in dark valley iirc
ye, i'm just doing a few side quests first
i wanted to get a scoped rifle, so i killed some sniper and took his scope
wait, is loot randomized?
i think so
i'm thinking of reloading my save, to later do the escort
i just wanna kill the bandits and take the scope.
i'll probably just do it, and if they don't drop it i'll return to my quicksave
Only 2 month , than we will get our STALKER 2!
@finite dragon not neceserilly...
i dont think that it will come out exactly in january
i would expect it somewhere in august at least, but again... not neceserilly
yeah, not a release date yet
yep...
eh it will prolly get cyberpunk'd
i wouldnt expect anythin else... tbh i want them to take how much time they want just soo they can get the game not broken on release...
but... anomalies are allowed 😉
Did they add the ecologists as a faction choice? Or am i hallucinating?
and military
cool
do mufflers completely silence guns?
No. There is not a single silencer (especially muffles) that can silence your gun fully.
ye ok then i'll use my pistol

you can always use a pillow... oh wait, you are talking about in-game silencers, it's not gonna hepl... 🙂
you can always use a pillow... oh wait, you are talking about in-game silencers, it's not gonna hepl... 🙂
I'm actually kinda surprised they work, seen how they're made in the Zone 
i assumed people just used rocks because you have to be a hard ass to venture there
there are beds aswell
i assumed people just used rocks because you have to be a hard ass to venture there
rocks
Zone isn't Fallout America

and couches and stuff, so it's normal that pillows exist aswell
^
Mufflers..... that hurts my soul, it's called a suppressor
Mufflers go on cars...

@elder ore
It will only happen in his head anyway.
in that case, i have to find it myself
Two stalkers are sitting in a bar. They've already had a good drink and are discussing everyone around them:
— The laziest.. This is the military… Stalkers are being robbed at the Escape … Took the loot. And then a hundred meters later sold it to Sidorovich.
— Nope. You're wrong. Traders is the laziest. I know one… So he gets up early on purpose so that he doesn't have to do anything else for a while.
@mellow torrent if that was to happen, i'd believe that a stalker fan went to chernobyl and found the wishgranter himself to make this happen lmao
@elder ore man i would love jan 1st or jan 30th release date
mostly cause i know i would get it gifted to me cause bday
So, did I miss something, some news ?
The only cam_inert value I can tolerate is 0.21.
Which OS do you think the zone's computers run on
I mean, it's either linux or cracked windows xp
Clearly DOS.

Understandable

Everytime I walk past the first guy after tutorial it dies

nah
Due cp2077
i am fine thanks
Good to hear mate
having breakfast rn, and you?
Tossing around flesh organs, preparing to cook soup from the finest liver. Maybe a bit of tushkano juice for flavor.

Maybe a bit of tushkano juice for flavor.
@solid dome Don't think you'd get much anything outta them if I'm honest. Although I'm sure they'd make excellent pets! 😁
Wait
Comes to game pass day one
“Xbox Series X and Series S launches this November”
From Xbox official website
The game pass too?
Yes
And it’s coming day one, so that’s pretty much a confirmed release date
Unless gsc makes a statement saying otherwise
November 10th
That’s the release date of the xbox x?
Yes
I honestly forgot
😱



the part when you're in the undergound lab in SoC what's the codes
Check your PDA, it should be in there
In Encyclopaedia, if I'm right
If not, then it's probably in the Diary
Doubt that one, though
The entry is called "2nd level access code"
Playing call of Pripyat in talk 1
the part when you're in the undergound lab in SoC what's the codes
@glass dawn its on the Wikipedia
What if Black slugs are canon?
But this is just a theory,a game theory
you can have them in your head-canon if you want, but they are not canon
you can have them in your head-canon if you want, but they are not canon
Bad idea, btw. I have seen bunch of people, which say that books, builds and mods are canon. Lmao
hey guys
I played Shadow of Chern when it came out years ago, loved it.. I bought Call of P also, but never played it.. I recently saw Call of Chernobyl and Anomalie mod on youtube and was wondering what you guys think I should try out..
Play CoP firstly
And then choose between
Dead Air - "hardcore" mod, based on CoC, that adds a lot of gameplay features, like perks f.e
Anomaly - another one "hard" mod, that adds even more features.
Bad idea, btw. I have seen bunch of people, which say that books, builds and mods are canon. Lmao
well that's why it's a head-canon, you can make whatever you want canon in there, just don't apply it outside of your head
That's the thing. People apply head-canon on the game one.
And express their so-called-canon to others
- Why are you making your own engine and what are the advantages?
- We had two choice: to take already existing engine or to make ours. Writing our engine took about a year, using the existing engine would take us about that amount of time + we also would had to get into it. We decided that It's cheaper, actually we still can't find out what was a good idea, but we think that the final image of the game, its visualisation, on the different engine like UE would look like "classic" european-american game, ours will be made for post-soviet countries...

- Will you sell the engine to other companies, if your engine is successful
- No. We won't. We'll publish it for free. When we'll finish it, we publish it for free for modmakers. If you want to sell the engine, you have to be a leader of technologies, but there are a lot of them already - Unreal Engine and its rivals...

we will publish our engine for free
so much for that, had to mod the worthless multiplayer sdks they gave us to work for singleplayer
and have the source code leak from lost alpha
- Will S2 have characters from other games?
- Yes
- There's a lot of questions about mutants. What mutants will present in the game? What characters will be in the new game?
- Strelok is going to be in the game absolutely sure.
- Everything else is a secret, right?
- If we'll read messages on the forums, many people were interested in a reason, why did we kill the Strelok. First of all, we didn't kill him and secondly... It's a secret.
- Will S2 come out on the consoles PS3 and Xbox 360?
- It's highly-likely that the game will be on the Xbox 360, but less likely on PS3... We will make a version for PS3 for sure, but we'll check if the console will be alright at that time...
- Do you plan to release calendars with S2 screenshots in the next months?
- Yes, of course. We were doing that, PR department is responsible for this. This department does a lot of things.
- There were no any of Stalker-themed calendars before?
- You mean printed calendars? I don't know. We're making Stalker production to release it with the game instead of interest maintaining. So all what we're doing is books publishing. Everything else will be after the game release.

Thank you for this
In the English version of CoP Kovalsky kinda sounds like he's having trouble speaking
- Who is responsible for content cutting in ShoC?
- We are responsible for this ourselves and american publisher's (THQ) producer... and that's all. We would like to tell that everything good, that was cut from the game is his (Dean Sharpe's) fault, but it's not right. We were testing what is more comfortable, stable, and how appropriate is it. Game developing isn't house building, when you know bricks amount, how it will look, it's mostly when you're making more than you need and the cut it down to a size you actually need, like in the cinematography. You record more than you add in the film...

- What amount of money GSC has earned for Stalker series?
- I think that it's a secret. I can tell how many circulations of the games - about 5 millions, which is more than Cossacks series. The results were unknown until we just counted them. About the book series... books in russian have been sold in more than 5 millions in total. Also. More than 65 new books were released, so we gave the application to Guinness World Records as the longest book series.

Does anyone here have a map of random boars appearing from reeds on Great Swamps in STALKER: Clear Sky?
S2 on ps3 and xbox360? WTF??
Ask surdno for the boar maps
S2 on ps3 and xbox360? WTF??
@forest ledge 2012.
ah
@lofty garnet
Surdno should have watermarked the map tbh
¯_(ツ)_/¯
why is there a map of random boars appearing in the great swamps
Yes.
@untold loom Complete documentation of all game mechanics made by one russion aytnct
For 100% walkthrough obviously
100 no armour healing guns ammo weapons or anything
@pseudo rivet swamps be like
Boar Moment
Mmm thicc boar 😩
imagine your faction being made because of a space bubble
Anyone knows what engine Stalker2 is made in?

And is scar gonna come back? i miss ma boi
idk bro play the game
And is scar gonna come back? i miss ma boi
It's NDA, stalkerboy
In CS 
is there a form of Twitch integration for Anomaly?
If anyone has ever streamed anomaly, that is.


In CS
@gusty trench I like to think he is still alive, in one form or another. He was a special case, as was said repeatedly, and my thoughts are the CC would have recognised this & done something with it, either along with Monolith-ifying him or otherwise.
i hope there will be a story part about the savior, the guy saved strelok
why would you call him that
@untold loom because he wont stop telling me to break all boxes
And yes he made a list of where all boxes are in CS and what contents they have
oh that's interesting
And is scar gonna come back? i miss ma boi
Scar is alive in serbia making fast rap
i dont understand how people become attached to the stalker protagonists
they all have basically 0 personality
I'd say it's less of an attachment and more that we see a lot of potential; there's a lot of stuff we don't know about them that could be really interesting, and GSC are (in my eyes) fantastic storytellers so building on them in a good way is likely.
Take Strelok for example, especially in SoC, he strikes me as a very haunted man even before dicovering the C-Con. And his compulsions to continue heading north don't seem to be based purely on greed or burning curiosity...
And Scar certainly has (had) a lot of experience behind him that could be expanded on.
And is scar gonna come back? i miss ma boi
Unlikely
I personally would like to know more about the zone. I think the zone is the main character of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The C-Con, the emissions etc.

- Will S2 have a multiplayer mode? On the first online conference you were saying, that MP will be the separate game...
- Yes
- How long online players will wait for it?
- No... The decision about leaving it or cutting will be made only on the "polish" stage, but now we think that it's useless to make it in some "local" variation. Multiplayer is such a thing, that... Quake, for example, had great MP, but SP part wasn't the best. It's impossible to make both of them equally good. You should choose one. If MP is good, we will release it of course, it's not hard, but we want to make it special. Counter Strike can't be imagined without the SP part, so Stalker MP is like a "superstructure" for the SP. I think it don't take us long time, if we won't count the first add-on. It will be the MP you would like to see.

@finite dragon
I would suggest you to meet up with Hermit, while also picking up information from Clear Sky and Freedom in CS
That's where you can get a lot of information about the Zone and its behavior
- When the new engine development has started?
- About some time before the first stalker's development end. Maybe two years.

Fun fact - developers (and even Griga himself) knew that their guns only based on the real ones but a lot different from originals, that even the bolt is placed on the left side instead of right on rifles, like AKs and etc. During that time (and I think now) they didn't have any gun expert or military guy. In that interview Grigorovich also said, that they wouldn't change bolt's position, because it would take him some time and money to reanimate that thing.
So stop asking them to make the guns look accurate. It's part of the Stalker universe.
- ... classic advertising campaign starts 9 months before the release and it has some clear plan of action, and what is nessecary to do. So we'll start the campaing 9 months before the release, then 6 months before the release we'll create a S2 website, and first screenshots will appear automatically after the site's opening.
- There also were a lot of questions about the content, like when we'll see the screenshots... So 6 months before the release?
- The game looks... different, not like the first game (he means the trilogy), it's better, of course. We aren't going away from the realism. We want to get not just fairy tale, but realistic, post-soviet image.
https://youtu.be/YdbGxrtfN6E?t=2508 41:54 - 42:38
the dragunov in the trailer isn't mirrored
Is it? The image itself is very dark.
check #📸┃screens_and_videos
Gun liscensing is also a thing to take into account, wouldn't want an Escape from tarkov situation
all weapon designs are fine to use in game as long as their names are changed im pretty sure
Name change + slight variation on the physical design, yeah
the decision to mirror them was not copywrite evasion, it was merely because seeing the bolt cycle looked cool
Very true
many games have weapons that are no different than their irl counterparts and have no issue legally
many weapon designs have had their patents expired as well, the ar-15, 1911, glock, ect... are all public domain
Likely because they paid the license or the companies themselves don't really notice/care
which is why we see multiple companies producing ar-15s 1911s and glock derivitaves
the only true issue with weapons in games with copywrited designs are the names, not the model itself
- Will S2 be a trilogy like the first one?
- Yes. S2 will be a trilogy and film will come out too.
- Grigorovich

Let's count that S2 came out... 
so far 0 times
Many ambitions, huh.
patience
And then the GSC Game World just gets closed
bankrupt 
and then Survarium became a thing
and then Survarium became a thing
Never was and won't
bloody hell that would be awful

"realistic, post-soviet image.", you say?
I feel like I know where this is going
- How complete is the game? And what you have to do?
- Well. Technologies are complete. Now we're working on the gameplay part... so it's (slurred word), borderless world (locations), new technology adaptation of everything old, but good and something new...

stalker 2 will release on xbox series x yes

Not with that attitude it won't 😁
Alr well in that case maybe It might have a multi-player option
but any previous installment will not work on xbox, stalker's version of xray engine physically cannot run on consoles
@finite dragon exactly

Crazy if they add some new anomalies
It’s been confirmed that the anomaly in the trailer is a new one

oH mY gOd CrAzY
Which anomaly in the new one
The one with the water
They better give some content for Christmas, at least
yo
Eddie
@misty jay yo what’s up Eddie I didn’t know you were in this discord lol
@native ibex what if the game releases before Christmas

Like the Xbox website entails
That would sure be a present.
Thanksgiving release 
We give thanks to de monolit
I killed Sakarov, clear sky and Ecologists have declared war on us too. wut do?
well why'd ya kill sakarov
bruv i just took over CNPP.. wut do?
I'm confused, is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 going to be a brand new game or is it sort of like a remaster/remake of SoC.
its a brand new game

@finite dragon, new game, lol
Alright, cuz the first 3 had sub-titles attached to them, but this one's only followed by the number 2. Usually with a series be it video games or movies the first installments just have the number and eventually numbers are traded in for sub-titles, which had me confused.

@finite dragon, welp, technically, CS and CoP are add-ons to SoC.
Yes, they are. Even Grigorovich himself said that.
Why would you kill Sakarov?
He's a smart ass, no crap, but a lot of people were killed because of him
@pseudo rivet The Mobile Science Labs in Yantar and in the area around Jupiter are two different labs, correct?
Obviously
Bro
👏
We're not arguing about that,and stop using STOC to our stupid arguments
Dude.... You just claimed that they are the same lab...
I did not

Ah yes,understood everything
I think I understood a word or two
Людей is like people or person or something, right?

I'm gonna be waiting
Oh Crimson one more thing, I'm sure you got asked this a lot already, but check #📸┃screens_and_videos
- I get it, you decided not to work, so let the Didenko (he wrote it like Дыденко) make the project for people
- I already let him. I found him the financiers and gave him rights for the engine and graphics. Financiers weren't interested in the brand. Team was saved and even recruited some people. Everybody works on the Survavium
- Why not to tell people? Why do we need these lies, that Survavium is new and interesting.
Crimson,who's in charge of the Yantar Mobile Lab in S.T.A.L.K.E.R CoP?
Sakharov, as usual
Survarium and interesting do not go together
Imterestomg
It was 2014
See, my phone wont correct my typos, but it will incorrect everything else
- Does first Stalker look like a game on the high level...)
- It was a question?
- First Stalker was very unfinished... Defective. We were polishing it three games after.
- I got it back then, but people weren't judging you and your team, there were more positive sides, than negative.
No?
You say you didn't use Googke, so I presume you gave the literal translations based on your own skills
Yep.
Конечно, друг 
Are eco-stalkers even a thing?
@pseudo rivet
Are eco-stalkers even a thing?
Wdym?
Yeah
Ecologists that don't hide in bunkers all day
Even the SSP-99M suit description says eco-stalkers are outfitted with those suits
Ah. Like Topol's group?
That's actually SSP-99's description
Ah. Like Topol's group?
@gusty trench Yes
Crimson, when were Eco-stalkers mentioned?
SSP-99's description
Guys, please, this is the Fallout 76 Discord
When else?
Let's see... I remember dead group of eco-stalkers on the... Yantar?
I'm sure Hermann mentioned them too, right?
In CS
I'm sure Hermann mentioned them too, right?
They work for him (also Ozersky too)
@edgy spindle Wtf do you mean Eco-stalkers don't exist?

I'm asking if they are
Well, yeah, they exist
C'mon, No Data. Don't be silly
Data is having a breakdown of some sort

Crimson, only Monolith have access to the Gauss rifle until one is recovered by Major Degtyarev, right?
Scientists - these guys in the bunkers, that wear scientist robe.
Eco-stalkers - hired stalkers, that work for scientists like Sakharov and Hermann
And Clear Sky, although they used an EM1 Rifle
@edgy spindle Only Monolith have access to it along with Clear Sky, but they had a prototype - the EM1 rifle which is a different thing with a different purpose
Depends on what way you're talking about it
If you're talking about building it,i'm pretty sure only monolith
Col. Kovalsky said that the Monolithians used one against them during the first assault on the CNPP
Monolith (all the games), CS members have the experimental version (CS) and ukrainian government (in one of the ending of CoP)
right
So @edgy spindle do we just change the question?
But that makes me wonder
Or not?
I guess
Crimson, I need a quick question for #1
The Military staged a raid in 2006, 2011 and twice in 2012
And no, "what are diggers" isn't #1
The Military staged a raid in 2006, 2011 and twice in 2012
Yes
Does that mean they actually had a Gauss Rifle during 2006?

Does that mean they actually had a Gauss Rifle during 2006?
Hm...
And no, "what are diggers" isn't #1
God of the Zone difficulty: 1. What are diggers?
Yes, difficulty #6
Does that mean they actually had a Gauss Rifle during 2006?
How could they?
Or does Kovalsky literally mean an "assault", which would then be Operation Monolith
How could they?
Impossible, it's either a retcon, poorly translated or just said in a bad way
God of the Zone difficulty: 1. What are diggers?
Scavengers, actually. In CS they were looking for some detail for Wolf stalker.

Not all of them, some are digging stuff for a living, right Crimson?
Diggers = group dat dig
All Diggers are digging stuff
They don't earn so much

Crimson, I need a quick question for #1
What is in the center of the Zone?
Or rather
What is the center of the Zone?
@pseudo rivet About the Gauss gun... It's all what we know.

Yeah, I know about that ending
But I think they had some of these guns.
