[mossy ingot]

I don't think tomorrow any raw gameplay will be posted anywhere

Maybe an interview and...

https://tenor.com/view/hahaha-thats-all-folks-looney-tunes-the-end-gif-5945155

No hope in the gaming industry too, it's all milking till the last drop, remasters, anime games, etc

Scandalous stuff

[kindred citrus]

possible some gameplay might get leaked

but maybe like a 3% chance

[worn garden]

“Leaked” lmao as if it’s under an NDA

[mossy ingot]

[quartz wave]

Man can't be there I am hoping for someone to record some gameplay

[kindred citrus]

[velvet mesa]

Фотографії, відгуки і стенди. Невже не дозволяють знімати процес гри? Чи це люди не поспішають викладати те, що побачили

[half pebble]

Ну от знову відгуки 😦 Хлопець каже, що давали пограти наче 15 хвилин? Гра сподобалася йому, але це знову таки не знімки самого процесу х)

[crimson oasis]

They are probably not allowed to take pictures

[bold cove]

Потрібно сперти ссдшнік з компа з грою

[velvet mesa]

Схоже на те. Просто більшість гравців з України розраховувала побачити гру на відео презентації gamescom, що проходила вчора, але так і не показали. Тому чекаємо нової інформації.

[crimson oasis]

Tomorrow there will be more news

@half turret any news?

[dense sapphire]

He's playing ig wouldn't answer anyone if I was in his shoes

[kindred citrus]

them keybindings

[dense sapphire]

@crimson oasis , let's trust our guy to deliver us a solid opinion abt the demo? I can't rely on non stalker fans to give me stupid feedback (with all due respect to them.)

[half turret]

In line for over an hour

[crimson oasis]

We all believe in you

[placid knot]

This game based on people’s impressions on the demo seems to be not ready on a technical or graphical stand point, would say they need to delay till late 2024 if they want a stable build with the loon of the E3 2021 trailer

[crimson oasis]

Depends how messed up it is

I wouldn't be surprised if some people exaggerate

[placid knot]

Seein stuff relatin to stutterin, low res textures, minor bugs, fallin out of the map, etc

[crimson oasis]

The guy who said that stuff was only one and he spit out every single bug in the known universe

Others have simply said it's ok except with some minor NPCs issues and graphical bugs

[placid knot]

I think the graphical thing is the most common comment, either lightin or textures it seems like this game needs more time in the oven

[torn rain]

Yeah, it is hard to get right impression. Opinions about technical state are all over the place

[crimson oasis]

Lighting is easily fixable

It's not something that takes years to fix

The important thing is that the NPCs work as intended and the map is good as well as the story

That's all i care

[dense sapphire]

Yes brother, help us dispel this dark cloude we are facing rn

[placid knot]

If lightin was the only thing then yeah maybe, but it seems to have a bunch of issues that make me questions if it’s truly ready, and we don’t even know if lightin is that easy, we don’t work on the game

[dense sapphire]

Exactly, the remaining months can deal with the shader/graphical problems.

[crimson oasis]

Yeah

If that's the only issue then i guess it's fine

But i think some people really do exaggerate

Besides there's gonna be a showcase tomorrow

[dense sapphire]

We can't even be sure.. we have conflicting opinions now.. ppl saying ai and all were fine, others saying otherwise..? This is overwhelming fr

[crimson oasis]

The only thing i dislike is that they cannot record the demo

Like, why, it doesn't make sense

We customers deserve to know the product we bought

[mossy garden]

Maybe to avoid debates like this about little bugs and personal impressions? Keep faith bros, we’ll have more information tomorrow 👍

[crimson oasis]

Well yeah but it's a public demo

Idc if it's buggy or not i want to see the state of the game

So i hope we will see the actual demo here as well

[mossy ingot]

We aren't gonna be given actual demo of STALKER 2, not now, not today, not tomorrow, not ever

You are too foolish to think such a concept

[crimson oasis]

Go get em Krezzin i will buy you a ticket @mossy ingot

[mossy ingot]

Wishful thinking, sir

[mossy ingot]

Gottem

[crimson oasis]

Give us a review

[dense sapphire]

We would've decided on our own in that case..

[half turret]

Still in line

[crimson oasis]

@half turret they confirmed S2 https://www.youtube.com/live/kTjUAiSU7Ww?feature=share

[worn garden]

What did they say exactly because I need more than just “they confirmed S2”

[crimson oasis]

they say today they will feature S2

they are going to do that rn

[worn garden]

You’re telling me they’re featuring stalker 2 right now?

[inland remnant]

now?

[worn garden]

Because I don’t believe it

[crimson oasis]

YES

THEY SAID IT

Check #⭐┃nospoilers_general

[crimson oasis]

"today with IGN what's the goal right now? ... Alan Wake, STALKER 2"

[worn garden]

That could literally mean they’re just playing the games today and covering them the next day

[crimson oasis]

No they are doing it today lmao

They already featuring Alan Wake which was not in the list

[worn garden]

Yeah and what does feature mean? Showing clips of something we’ve already seen?

[half turret]

No Chance of pics or vids

[crimson oasis]

have you played it?

[half turret]

Ye

[frank remnant]

give us deets

[ember fractal]

[untold idol]

Was it any good?

[worn garden]

And this is where he doesn’t say another word

[ember fractal]

[untold idol]

Bro got snatched away

[dense sapphire]

No updates?

[half turret]

It was fun its not finished it def. Needs more polishing the graphics where pretty okay, probably cuz their didnt used full high end PCs all with 4090s and such the animations where a little stiff it has a lot of hotkeys probably changable in the finished game the world looked nice from what Ive saw open interiors didnt find lootable stuff (prob. Also only in the finished game) ut crashed once on my friends pc but that are things that also happen couldnt find any Bugs tho except when you die the enemy spawns are a bit weird but still work in progress footage

[ember fractal]

[mossy garden]

Hello Stalkers! Here’s a quick review of the gamescom demo by a French video games media.

[torn rain]

So similar opinion to other people: Technical state needs to be improved but they are excited

[spiral gate]

Nah man...fanatics fanboys that are ruining it

[mossy garden]

Yes some graphical elements, lights, and ennemies behavior. Nothing that can’t be fixed! Let’s hope storyline isn’t bugged like SOC when your saves crashed or when we were blocked in missions 😅

[torn rain]

Idk it is Stalker after all so don't be surprised to have hilarious bugs 😆

[mossy garden]

I’ll wait for stalker 2 complete mod 😄

[chilly root]

Thx for the info i gonna read it in the day

[chilly root]

I think its normal when a game is pre-released and when the devs give the game in beta test before the release of the game

The game is in the right way I think

[torn rain]

I agree. I haven't seen much of criticism about gameplay and other in-game content... which is very nice to hear

[chilly root]

Anyway, we are also regulars of stalker call of bugs, shadow of bugs and clear bugs game, it will be a more exciting experience with tones of bugs

[chilly root]

Yeah, good news

[frank bear]

Oh didnt know this thread was a thing

[torn rain]

ATTENTION STALKERS! Amazon updated the release date and it says 18.03.2024

[clever folio]

BLOW OUT SOON

[kindred citrus]

when?

[clever folio]

N....ehm in under 4h

[tired delta]

2 months 4 days 7 hours

not random

[dense sapphire]

Fanatics or not, they are the ones giving the bad reviews and making it hard for us brotherman man

[kindred citrus]

which stream tho? i'm confused fr

[clever folio]

supposedly xbox showcase

[low sequoia]

Just read a small german preview.. doesn't bolt well to say the least. They confirm what others have been saying. https://www-heise-de.translate.goog/news/Stalker-2-Wackelig-in-radioaktiven-Fussstapfen-9283186.html?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp (translated link)

[runic mason]

Average classic mm, nothing new from what we've seen before.

Animated 2D mm vs 3D mm is better I think, because the game loads faster on start, e.g. no need to load a full 3D scene + imagine it's created on UE5.

[dense sapphire]

Krezzin is trolling you guys lol

[runic mason]

he said his opinion, what's the trolling about that

btw here's the menu of Starfield, minimalistic, pretty easy to recreate

[dense sapphire]

Krezzin my brotherman is trolling you all

Ik because we are a tag team

[runic mason]

okey then

not like its funny, but alr

[dense sapphire]

Stalker 2 impresion by Vortex
(They know OG Stalker games and love them)

Cons:
-Not good colour Depth, weird lightning. Doesnt look as realistic Aš it could with just better lightning.
-gunplay seems not fully fleshed out. Could be better for todays standarts.
-face animations are not as good as in trailers.
-they had one Crash
-they said it need to be technicaly fleshed out, but didnt say what are exact issues.

Pros:
-really good sound design. Guns sound awesome.
-emission and rain look rly good.
-anomalies look good. You can easily miss them and die (joke on that idiot with that "dead bug" :stare: )
-really good atmosphear. They feel that GSC nailed it. Buildings and everything looks good. It dont feel like space fillers, but like things with stories to Tell.
-exploration feels rly good. They loved IT.
-AI!! Felt good. He had fight with group and they flanked him and covered themselfs. He think, that its based how you aproach them. That he can think of reasons why it sometimes doesnt work. But fór him, AI was good And challenging.
-you choose options what to Tell, when you speak with NPCs. But there was not different outcomes in demo, when you tried different opritons.
-there was looting. They looted BREAD and sausage. And found better AK. Invetory felt good. They said that its biger than thay thought that it will be, but not too big. Its weight limited.

They said, that Demo isnt fully fleshed out, bcs of technical bugs, but they liked it. It felt like Stalker, as they remember it and they are rly excited for release.
And another thing. There were fights with dogs and bandits. Based on how you aproach IT, you can fight with them or completely avoid fight.

[dense sapphire]

It's not intended to be funny brotherman

[runic mason]

my apologies for misunderstanding

[dense sapphire]

apology accepted friend

[clever folio]

pics or it didnt happen!

wheres my 200mm camera dudes working on some smart angles

[dense sapphire]

The demo is gamescom exclusive. Recording is forbidden and falls under legal conditions.

[clever folio]

does this apply to the whole gamescom?

the pcs are in public eye view

[dense sapphire]

Probably? Probably only the games with no actual release date? Mostly all games?

[dense sapphire]

Public eye? For attendees yeah

[clever folio]

that

[dense sapphire]

Attendees are under gamescom umbrella buddy

They can see and play

But not record for the ppl outside

[clever folio]

what about random photos and selfies?

[dense sapphire]

You can take pics of yourself and public faces only. Ofc, without actually pointing too long and without recording vids

[mossy ingot]

I definitely said my sincere opinion on the main menu aspect

[mossy ingot]

What if you have shaky hands and you point the camera at the booth for couple seconds and pretend you're talking to a friend behind you...

Multiple scenarios to fake record, sadly people need to be tactical and they have no brains to be

[dense sapphire]

I heard that they take phones? I'm not sure lol.. but if you record something, the police will come for you asap

[radiant cedar]

They didn't take my phone and the other attendees also hadn't to give away their phones.

[mossy ingot]

What if you record with a microscopic camera smaller than your finger tucked on your belt?

What if you carry dildo stick with integrated camera

Million ways to outsmart security

[dense sapphire]

Well, where is that smart guy? Can't see him haha

[dense sapphire]

Well, that's good. I said I wasn't sure haha

[mossy ingot]

Me, if I could go

Poor bulgarian can barely afford living

[dense sapphire]

Where is that microcamera

? Do you have it?

[mossy ingot]

If I could go, I would have found a way to capture footage

It's a matter whether you want to outsmart the opponent, not if you could

[clever folio]

also the biggest factor, this is a non closed door / vip only showcase

[ember fractal]

man lighting and color is a big point in stalker atmosphere, hopefully they fix it before release

[frank bear]

Demos will be available tommorow too, just wanna make sure

Right?

[crimson oasis]

yes

[frank bear]

Alrighty, hope the line of people wont be too long, il be there for 4 hours

[plain kelp]

i mean if it has a cool animated background whats the issue

Of course....

Perhaps he hasn't played the original games? In which case, he should

[clever folio]

was there anything els than the trailer on the stream?

[deep blade]

Actually, not much

They showed most of it in the trailer. Except maybe dialogs and missions interface

It was real nice to try the game, however

[clever folio]

any time stamps

[south stirrup]

I have but I also saw the recent trailer which is the reason why I am asking

[deep blade]

Demo started at both 0:42 and 1:04, then bandits camp at 0:49 and 0:54, and I also found broken house at 0:39

[silver lark]

There was Russian (?) voice acting with English subtitles in the gameplay trailer from a while ago

[latent jasper]

the off-center red "GAME OVER" with the 3rd person ragdoll

[silver lark]

I doubt that’s the final one

[fallow nebula]

I saw people in the comments complaining about visual downgrade.

I don't care because FPS > Graphics fidelity

[tiny trellis]

You can't call it anything else

[mossy ingot]

👆

[tiny trellis]

Another important thing in the game is the atmosphere, and it is there

[fallow nebula]

Yes

While original didn't have the graphics

The atmosphere is great

[tiny trellis]

I can't even imagine what mod makers will do, looking at what mods are doing now, it's very nice

[fallow nebula]

Misery mod revisited

That's for sure

[tiny trellis]

Therefore, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be a nice game, you just have to wait for the release

[dense sapphire]

@idle tree look how hyped I was 😦

[fallow nebula]

I won't be able to buy it or play it

sadly

[dense sapphire]

ignore the messy desktop

[idle tree]

Ah heck, must be pain

These are from now?

I just got this one

[idle tree]

Aye, they're great

Some other wallpapers that I use

[chilly root]

Black templars and dark angels ares based

[idle tree]

Hella

[dense sapphire]

which are the dark angels and which are the templars ?

[dense sapphire]

👆

[idle tree]

See the first wallpaper I sent? Those are Dark Angels. Black Templars are basically black versions of them, except more Teutonic Knight-like

Those are Black Templars

Also, I don't think this is the right chat for this

[dense sapphire]

IK xD was going to say tht

[chilly root]

Lol I know

I clearly remember my black templars army

[idle tree]

Ah, was referring to Rahmi. Did I ping you by accident?

[chilly root]

Here i think

I was telling you my love for the dark angels (in the picture ) and my love for the black Templars

[radiant cedar]

Do you guys think it would be rude to get in queue to play the game again? I really don't know, it's my first gamescom.

[idle tree]

Can always try. Don't think they'd mind

[radiant cedar]

Cuz I at least wanted to get in a shelter as the emission hit... But play session was over

[edgy plume]

I doubt they're memorizing faces. Just don't do it too often, but I don't see an issue if you are getting back in line and waiting in that line just to play a second time

actually sounds perfectly reasonable; it's your time after all

[latent jasper]

imagine if they do recognize you and say "get out of here, stalker"

[urban elm]

i just use Wallpaper engine

[radiant cedar]

And if they like you they say "What are you waiting for? Get in here stalker"

[violet canopy]

Wallpaper moment

Sweet

thats what you call a wallpaper

[mossy ingot]

Sorry, fella, I don't speak Ukrainian

I do understand the end of the message - the PR part

[south stirrup]

what is wrong with so many people whining about graphics? sometimes ya gotta adapt to consoles

But in all honesty it does look great already and I'm looking forward to playing it and seeing how it's gonna torture my 4090

[signal bloom]

Question to those who have played it at gamescom: I was hoping to find an artifact during the playtest yesterday. Was anyone able to find one?

[gaunt spade]

Freedom Vs Duty?

[misty cave]

Долг vs Борг vs Обов'язок

[gaunt spade]

Кроссовер?

[modern dove]

I was telling that im sick of this guy hyping on stalker even that he's always shitting stalker

Oh god, those russians

[modern dove]

Idk rly, i dont like the anomalies animation, especially the bubbles

[lilac stirrup]

it's Q4 2023

[urban elm]

they announced it in the gamescon trailer yesterday mate

[lilac stirrup]

k

[urban elm]

wait what Q4?

didnt they announce it to launch Q1 2024?

im confused

[winged topaz]

its issue

[mossy ingot]

Call of Duty syndrome

[mossy ingot]

Where have you been since 2021?

Game was meant to come in April 2021, then release moved to December 2022, then 2023 and finally, Q1 2024

[urban elm]

ik but it was December 2023 it doesnt make sense to me to not change it to Q4 2023 instead of Q1 2024

[crimson oasis]

They have not updated it yet

But it's Q1 2024

[frank bear]

everything i got from the bag

[urban elm]

god i need that drink

[frank bear]

il either drink it tommorow or when stalker 2 comes out

its good till the 7th of next year

wonder what it tastes like, info on the back is all in ukrainian

probably gonna try it tommorow

[mossy ingot]

Never ever was stated December 2023, you fell for the rumours

Officially, never

December 2023 comes from Amazon and you never trust Amazon for anything

[urban elm]

it was literally on steam yesterday but kay

[mossy ingot]

Only for yesterday?

Must have been a mistake like the IGN one where the interviewer said the game is coming out later this year - after the Q1 2024 was announced

[urban elm]

no its been like that for a while on steam for me

it changed to Q4 2023 on steam today for me

but yeah announced Q1 2024

[mossy ingot]

Weird

[lilac stirrup]

fixed

[opal ledge]

Record it

And explain the taste

[frank bear]

already drank it

[opal ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/no-it-cant-be-no-gif-26457802

[frank bear]

fruity, very sweet, kind of tastes like diffrent berries

colour was orange

[opal ledge]

Yum

Thanks I now know how it tastes

[rare hedge]

Did they hand the can out to everyone today? I was there on Wednesday and Thursday and didn't even see one person with that can

[frank bear]

supposed to hand one out to everyone who comes and plays the demo but because we came a little late and the last demo just finished the guy there decided to give me and 3 others waiting there a bag

There was also a dog tag ? I don't think I received one.

But I got a displate so it's ok

[proven tartan]

why stalker didnt show in in gamescom?

[latent jasper]

it got a new trailer and an area of a playable demo

[proven tartan]

when the demo?

[latent jasper]

demo was gamescom exclusive

you could go to this area to play it

[proven tartan]

[dense sapphire]

The trailer is actually the whole demo plot call it a recap.

[mossy ingot]

Gamescom. Over. Boys.

[plain kelp]

it literally did

💀

it had a whole showcase

[plain kelp]

so i assume the demo was like the beginning of the game

[dense sapphire]

apparently so

[plain kelp]

the trailer did look like a lot of introduction type stuff

like showing how the bolt and anomalies work and emissions

[dense sapphire]

well, if you consider the gear you start with? Thats definitely the intro

there must be a couple of cutscenes as usual

[plain kelp]

i like the first person cutscene thing

[dense sapphire]

remember that truck trailer?

[plain kelp]

probably the intro cutscene right

[dense sapphire]

well, it might have more than we already saw back then

[plain kelp]

probably

but it would be a good intro

[dense sapphire]

We know the guy with glasses is called Herman? HAHA GSC should not show us any more trailers

[plain kelp]

gsc when stalker fans put together the full story before release

[dense sapphire]

hmmm but dont you think its just like SoC death truck intro?

[plain kelp]

yeah thats the point

its fan service

[dense sapphire]

HAHA, I should stop watching trailers

Why the hell would I need a bolt? When I have trailers to navigate thru the story

[mossy ingot]

@plain kelp You rat, what do you think of BAB?

[plain kelp]

what

oh the trailer

i already said

[mossy ingot]

And what did you say?

"It doesn't look like Minecraft"?

[plain kelp]

what

[mossy ingot]

Time for the "Krezzin asks, you answer - Community Edition" poll, now that Gamescom is finally over.

You know what to do:

Anomaly junkie spotted, keeps admitting he doesn't care, one lie repeated couple times, guess what...

[latent jasper]

One who cares, not with the Anomaly fanboys!

At least you appreciate my time setting it up, unlike the Rat above

That's bad marketing brotherman! You need to hold the gun higher, right between the eyes
