I really hope they don't mess this up. STALKER is one of the series that pushed me to build my first PC. Metro: Exodus was awesome, and felt almost like a spiritual successor, but I want the total STALKER experience.

If they can remake the feel and fix the buggy mess they had last time it could be a really good game . But I’m not sure how it will turn out . I wouldn’t worry about Ray tracing so much and focus on debugging the game first . The mechanics gameplay and atmosphere were really good in the first game but it needed a Lot more polish for sure . This is a big undertaking really , people don’t won’t let buggy games slide anymore and recreating the feel of the original is no easy task . Hopefully they come through because this could be a really good game

Their issue was they wrote their own engine and, well, some of it simply didn't work, and they didn't have the time or resources to buy an engine and redo the game.
Hopefully they just go with a solid, easy to use engine this time around.

Makes sense really. Aren't these the Ukrainian devs ?

Alexious264d ago

Yes...But the release date for the game was already set to December 2022 before the war began. It was supposed to be nearly finished.

shinoff2183264d ago

The war isn't exactly over

Tacoboto264d ago

The war began in February 2022 - invasion of Ukraine was February 24th, 22. You're missing an entire year, Alexious.

Lightning77264d ago

The rumor was December but hey talk all the time they need no rush.

Alexious264d ago

It's not like we don't have enough games in the meantime.

got_dam264d ago

Right?! August and September are absolutely stacked. Ill be working through BG3 until Q1 2024 at this rate anyway.

z2g263d ago

All things considered, I think we can give them a free pass here.

Looks great. Does this games have a 60fps mode on console?

ModsDoBetter478d ago

Judging by how graphically demanding it looks, I doubt it but we’ll see.

shinoff2183478d ago

I don't think it makes it to 60 either. It won't kill the experience though imo it looks damn good to

ModsDoBetter478d ago

It absolutely should hit 60 on Series X.
If they come out and announce 4k/30 it’ll be hugely disappointing for “the worlds most powerful console”.

Jericho1337478d ago

Great that they’re continuing to release updates in spite their nation’s plight. Fingers crossed for a 2023 release.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — Come to Me Official Trailer

In memory of fallen heroes.The new trailer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is here.

RaidenBlack501d ago

One of my most anticipated game ....

Jericho1337501d ago

Same, looks absolutely stunning but glad they’re just the old school inventory. Great to see they’re in track for a 2023 release date - hats off to GSC keeping development going through the war.

lonewolf10501d ago

Same here, the original is still one of my favorite games.

OG_TK_Cole500d ago

Game looks very good, I cant wait to play it.

XxINFERNUSxX500d ago

All I know is on PC the stuttering from Unreal Engine 4 better not be present in this game using UE5, or I will pass on this game. I wouldn't take it for free, if issues like that are present.

repsahj500d ago

Big respect to the devs, this game looks great overall. Still hoping they will improve the graphics because it is still looks current gen.

JCOLE13195500d ago

I would think if it looked “current gen” that’d be a good thing. Or did you mean last gen?

repsahj500d ago

If you think atomic heart graphics is current gen, then yes. It looked last gen.

StarkR3ality500d ago

@rep

What are you on about pal, it's one of the best looking games I've ever seen 😂😂

Lightning77500d ago

2023 is surprising actually. The last I heard it got delayed indefinitely.

Hopefully it still makes it out this year.

RaidenBlack500d ago

STALKER 2 unlikely next year ....
and given the state the studio's going through right now, I don't want it next year.
Let them settle and work on it undisturbed and release the much awaited sequel in 2024 or even 2025 without any unnecessary rush.
I just want the game to be good. Not another rushed game to meet a deadline.
This is STALKER we're talking about ...
