Doesn't make sense, probably HoC will be the last Stalker, since it is very likely it will choose the faith of the Zone, world and humanity, that's why it's going to have lots of endings

Yeah, but maybe a prequal

hey, i think it's best if we don't keep our expectations too high tho

Yeah, but maybe a prequal
Prequel of what? There haven't been that much events before CS and between CS and SoC

Tbh I don't think we even need anything cinematic for STALKER as a franchise.
We already have the movie adaption of the original book and have the Chernobyl miniseries. STALKER is completely fine as is as a video game series.
worthy lagoon
you see, it's the same with Half-Life, there is a bunch of games, but including ...
But why they should make a 3rd sequel if this is probably going to be the last one?
finite dragon
i doubt this is going to be the last one
normal forge

finite dragon
Doesn't need to be a part of the Strelok-Scar story... Just from the perspective of some random stalker, in a random faction doing stalkerthigns
worthy lagoon
Idk prequel of CoP
There haven't been much in there too, all of that was cleared in CoP itself
sturdy salmon
i doubt this is going to be the last one
well, giving the hype it is going to receive now, maybe it won't end in just stalker 2
i wanna see the merchandise
normal forge
GSC revisting Stalker with a sequel could mean more Stalker games, even if just two more

sturdy salmon
strelok will be back in S2?
finite dragon
But again, just firing shots in the dark here
i dont know the old concept had that idea
worthy lagoon
GSC revisting Stalker with a sequel could mean more Stalker games, even if just ...
I honestly wouldn't want another sequel, and again, probably HoC will put an end of the Zone once and for all
finite dragon
i doubt considering the plot
worthy lagoon
Of course depending on what path you take
sturdy salmon
i believe the zone will never end tbh
finite dragon
yep prob just envelope the whole earth
worthy lagoon
strelok will be back in S2?
Probably, since Strelok is the chief scientific consultant of SIIRCA
finite dragon
just a lifeless husk of a planet
worthy lagoon
And SIIRCA will probably play a key role in S2
sturdy salmon
Probably, since Strelok is the chief scientific consultant of SIIRCA
good ol' strelok.
finite dragon
yep prob just envelope the whole earth
So we'll get like the equivalent of sams story from Metro, but in stalker
brazen patio
Tbh I wouldn't mind if the ending to the series was open-ended.
Ending with The Zone still being active and certain factions still around. As long as the series is open for fan content and mods, I'd be okay with it.
finite dragon
metros one wasnt as interesting as stalkers one could be
that's true
in metro ww3 happens
Stalker has much more potential
yep
normal forge
Eventho Metros ending was linear rather than open ended I still appreciated the game
finite dragon
But yeah, I think some random studio might buy some rigths to the stalker universe and at least create a pilot
sergiy owns the rights
And this has been enough for me, gn everybody
worthy lagoon
For those who are pathologically obsessed woth the lore, such as me, do know that even little details found in the Zone can make the difference of the lore itself
brazen patio
And this has been enough for me, gn everybody
Night Keeg.
finite dragon
agreed
worthy lagoon
There are things that have been recently discovered too
sturdy salmon
do tell more
worthy lagoon
And most of the stuff are still a mystery
finite dragon
like folklore
worthy lagoon
Generators, the weird looking lamp device founding in CoP, stashes, documents and such
The lore of STALKER is way more complicated than you'd think
finite dragon
you mean the room with that thing?
worthy lagoon
you mean the room with that thing?
Hm?
finite dragon
the time machine in cs
sturdy salmon
The lore of STALKER is way more complicated than you'd think
yeah, i never actually looked too deep into it, and i guess the knowledge that i have is very superficial
potent bluff
Anyone have the high quality shot of the last scene from the trailer?
finite dragon
you mean the blocks that are floating?
sturdy salmon
i only found out about the noosphere being existant in the stalker universe now
finite dragon
looks like minecraft or chernobylite blocks
worthy lagoon
you mean the blocks that are floating?
finite dragon
yep they gonna release in autumn
worthy lagoon
This thing
worthy lagoon
It's located in the Kindergarten in Pripyat, in the jammer, and another one is located at the Jupiter factory inside a crate
I do believe that supports my theory about the creation of psy-emissions
potent bluff
i only found out about the noosphere being existant in the stalker universe now
Crack of the Noosphere cause the Zone
worthy lagoon
Maybe @fair oyster does know some stuff about this too
potent bluff
This thing
Its a Monolith signal device
You can see it again in Kindergarten
I think
:b
sturdy salmon
wtf
worthy lagoon
But my theory is that there are two types of psy-emissions, an artificial one and a natural one
Artificial ones requires artifacts and technology in order to create psy-emissions, and requires a very high technology and cooling systems in order to work and control, sometimes even electricity.
Natural ones are basically psy-emissions created by living beings such as controllers, they can fully control psy-emissions and use it for various stuff, depending on the specimen.
My theory is that device contains an artifact and also produces psy-emissions which can be used as jammer and as a control/communication device (for monolithians)
finite dragon
i think dugout already theorized how the brain scorcher works
worthy lagoon
Of course it looks like it does have a limited range, since the psy-field is limited to the kindergarten, so it requires like a psy-field grid in order to fully connect and communicate
sturdy salmon
But my theory is that there are two types of psy-emissions, an artificial one an...
...i kinda doubt controllers and mutants capable of psy-attacks could achieve such thing
i do believe in man-made produced emissions, but i also believe that some emissions could just be some kind of release of energy emitted from an anomalous source in the center of the zone
finite dragon
emissions dont actually turn people into zombies in the games dugout did a theory on this
worthy lagoon
i think dugout already theorized how the brain scorcher works
Yeah, i made up some suggestions and theories under his videos before he made those videos, i made up these theories years ago, but I never thought about the cooling system, which is super important in artificial psy-emitters
sturdy salmon

that's the most obvious and generic way to explain it, but, yeah, simple as that
finite dragon

worthy lagoon

Canonically, controllers can turn you into a zombie, just like the Brain Scorcher
finite dragon
yep
sturdy salmon
yeah, zombifying, but not emissions
finite dragon
emissions kill not zombify
psy waves from the brain scorcher zombify and controllers
worthy lagoon
yeah, zombifying, but not emissions
When they control a person they do emit psy emissions
finite dragon
psy waves
worthy lagoon
Blowouts are not psy-emissions
sturdy salmon
you mean small ones, then?
finite dragon
psy waves and emission/blowout are not the same
sturdy salmon
because i'm thinking of actual, large scale psy-emissions here
sturdy salmon
psy waves and emission/blowout are not the same
i know lol
worthy lagoon
Psy waves/psy radiation/psy emissions are the ones that controls your brain, makes you see weird stuff and can turn you into a zombie
sturdy salmon
i'm aware
worthy lagoon
because i'm thinking of actual, large scale psy-emissions here
Doesn't exist
sturdy salmon
hm, so stalker mods have deceived me
finite dragon
yep
worthy lagoon
Large psy-emissions can be archived by artificial methods such as the brain scorcher, but the thing is, its range is vast but limited
Plus it needs cooling
So sometimes it is possible to get past the brain scorcher even when it's active
If you get the time right when it's cooling down

I realise Nimble appears in the start of every Stalker game
Right I forgot to mark as spoilers these messages
So, let me get this straight
kindred stream
Nimble's probably one of my favourite characters, not a main character but still has a whole story through the 3 games
inland kraken
||Nimble was a clear sky member but after the faction failed their operation he moved to the Cordon to do some business and later on Call of Pripyat he has like a black market business in Skadovsk?||

What it surprises me is that no one in Call of Pripyat talks about Ashot
Not even Yar

the scientists who were conducting experiments in the zone before the second disaster in 2006
kindred stream
Yeah you'd think at least Yar would mention him seeing how they used to joke about on the intercom

i hope they reveal who are the scientists behind those experiments at some point

inland kraken
Yeah, is weird
keen hollow

young estuary
i hope they reveal who are the scientists behind those experiments at some point
we'll see about that in hoc
just hoping
naive orbit
yeah i do also think the same
inland kraken
||Isn't Lebedev one of the members of the C-Con?||
naive orbit
that it eill
inland kraken
Well, ex member to be clear
kindred stream
Yeah I think it's a bit sus how ||he has connections to the C-Con and managed to get an entire faction to the CNPP right before a big emission and the return of the monolith afterwards as a result||
Doesn't feel like an accident but maybe it's just a stupid conspiracy theory :P
naive orbit
i mean he could be part of it since remember, SoC is after CS
inland kraken
One theory says Haron or Charon is Scar after the emission
Which is kinda debatable
kindred stream
I'm not sure I believe that theory but I'm convinced of the rest
Just funny ||an entire faction disappears then monolith return in the largest numbers yet a year later||
inland kraken
I'm unsure, maybe is right but didn't the developers confirmed Scar died?
keen hollow
I don't think they did
kindred stream
I can see the argument because the gun but it's not a strong one
Anyone can get a VSS in the zone if they have the money and connections
naive orbit
i mean scar could have more or less have died since remember each emission killed him more and more and ||the large emission on CS ending was large it was no small one||
kindred stream
But can we trust Lebedev on that whole emissions killing Scar slowly thing? He could've been lying to get +1 who was strong enough to help win a small faction war and using the blacking out to survive emissions thing to convince him
inland kraken
So, is impossible Scar survived one of the deadly emissions of the zone
young estuary
Scar on his every body
naive orbit
So, is impossible Scar survived one of the deadly emissions of the zone
i mean it could be possible he survived it but
maybe not
inland kraken
Remember he was slowly dying every time a emission occurred
naive orbit
yeah
he could have ran to a safe place tho
theres alot of possibilities when it comes to scar
young estuary
he definitely died at the end
I mean he literally survived emission 2 times already
static compass
Those UE5 snork attacks are gonna startle me many times
kindred stream
It's been a while since I last played but did the effects of waking up from emissions get worse with time?
inland kraken
You know I find it funny how ||In Clear Sky a Freedom commander betrayed his people and in SoC a Duty agent betrayed his faction and joined Freedom||
kindred stream
I'm 50/50 on it being truth that emissions were wearing him down
young estuary
btw how old is he
inland kraken
Who?
naive orbit
looks like hes on his 40's

Pretty sure every Stalker protagonist has been in their late 30's to early 40's

i do wonder what if the ukrainian military nuked CPP
inland kraken
Wait, they only appear in SoC?
naive orbit
Wait, they only appear in SoC?
i think so
inland kraken
Because i have never seen other military stalker in the others games
naive orbit
i do wonder why do military dont patrol yavon neither zatón
inland kraken
Maybe is because Yanov has 2 conflict factions and Zaton bandits and any other dangerous mutant?
young estuary
i do wonder what if the ukrainian military nuked CPP
Europe will be the new zone
plus, Ua dont have any nuke too

You guys wonder when the ТОПАЗ machine on skif’s back does?

I’m guessing it’s an arch anomaly container or destroyer
Most likely container if skif working with sirca to study the zone

So my current working theory is that in the beginning, skif is working with niichaz/sirca to use a device, ТОПАЗ, that could possibly contain or destroy arch anomalies. They had to sneak him in illegally so as not to let everyone in the zone know that they have technology capable of this, but everything goes wrong when a emission occurs, possibly the zone wanting to keep skif from doing what he is going to do. But somehow, skif survives and reaches the arch anomaly, which is the extent of what we currently know of the story.

Why do people hate clear sky
Sure it is the "weakest" game in the series
but it's not that bad tbh

probably cause of how difficult it is

Well maybe yeah but I just stopped at Yanov station and started playing shadow of chornobyl

CoP is probably the best in terms of world building, sidequests, and artefact hunting

I dont want to say "least favourite" to any of those games because it sounds unrespectful
