STALKER 2 - Heart of Chornobyl

[_Neptunno_]

@fassou let's hope it doesn't become Vaporware as you rightly mention. I think the development will be quite advanced, but they may have to debug or improve some things, because with a delay of a few months (6-8) I don't think the project is half-finished. Better that they polish it and test it well, that even so it will have some flaws... or directly they would see something that was a serious problem and they are solving it.
As long as they don't do what happened with Cyberpunk 2077, I think we can be pleased.

I remember that in the SoC, when they were polishing errors, with the different patches, the savegames of the previous version didn't work! Fortunately I played it a few weeks later and practically I had quite a bit of luck, but I think I had more than one disappointment xD

Greetings!!

STALKER 2 is delayed to 2023, new trailer with the game's graphic engine: Big graphic leap.

STALKER 2 is one of the most anticipated games by users of Xbox Series X-Series S, and also by PC players. It will be an exclusive for both platforms, so it won't come to PS5, and according to GCS GameWorld it will be available from 2023 although they have not given a specific month, so it can arrive both at the beginning and at the end of that year.

It is not the first time the game suffers a delay, recently we saw that STALKER 2 was delayed to December, now it has suffered a new delay that takes the game directly to sometime in 2023. With nothing more to tell you, we can only wish that the new delay is minimal, and that the game ends up arriving in the first quarter of 2023.

STALKER 2 is going to be a true next-gen game, because it will be based on the Unreal Engine 5 graphic engine and will use advanced technologies, including photogrammetry and ray tracing, as well as motion capture to offer high realism in facial animations. The result that has been seen in the videos that have appeared with real game scenes is very good, and to compensate for this new delay another video based on the game's graphic engine has been published.

Microsoft maintains that STALKER 2 will have 4K resolution and ray tracing in its version for Xbox Series X, but it is not clear what ray tracing will improve, whether reflections, shadows or lighting. It is unlikely that it will improve those three aspects because the demands would be too high for Microsoft's console when the game runs in 4K. We also know nothing about its possible requirements on PC, but we can take for granted that they are going to be quite high.

Honestly it is one of the best sagas I have played, maybe some very "linear" (something I have never liked... I prefer open worlds)
But be that as it may...
It will fall.
So suddenly, everyone promised an "open" world but in all of them you had to complete X missions to get the necessary equipment,
to be able to advance.
I don't know if about 10 years or 20 have passed since the first one.
But I think that as it was the game, with the current means it could be a "cucumber"
(Unless we are as always...
With console adaptation)
Greetings gamers.

Bad news...
There is no game until 2023
And I say bad news (leaving aside the issue of the Russians)
Because they will have time to make the game with optimization for the new AMD 5, Intel and graphics of the new generation.

We will see...
But it looks very good.

On March 23rd at the 2023 Game Developers Conference they will show a little more of the paw of the new installment of this saga.

Salu2! Stalkers!

It won't be for lack of excuses to finally get it out in 2024... or never

New announcements to generate buzz before the Hype Train starts on a hypothetical release (we need to improve the numbers of pre-orders).

Now they talk about using a technology from nVIDIA called Omniverse to generate the videos that will accompany the game (if they're going to bring PCs to their knees, imagine trying to run an ingame sequence on a console).

It doesn't have a name as catchy as the new technology nVIDIA CuLitho but the sooner they release the game, the sooner we can test and improve the game.

Salu2! Stalkers!

They haven't released the game, but they already want you to give them an award Fucking Legend! Salu2! Stalkers!

[_Neptunno_]

@Fassou the award will be for the "absent" game of the year 2023

I finally finished Clear Sky (Thanks to Fassou's help and my stubbornness). Now I'm busy with Stalker Lost_Alpha, which has increased my desire for STALKER 2 quite a bit lol.
And looking at images and videos...ugh, I can't even tell you how much I want to see them release the game. I will try not to take 10 years to start playing it...I have no excuse for taking so long to get back into the saga

Greetings Stalkers!!!

Don't worry, here you are understood, supported and even imitated... There will be games that have to wait for us more than a decade, that in the end life doesn't allow for everything

A hug!!

Today I say Q4 2024 but...

Vaporware Awards, here I go!

You can't be more faithful to the original values of the franchise.

Greetings Stalkers!
