Looks pretty good. Gives me a Metro Exodus vibe.

dRanzer1050d ago

Yea definitely.
Btw don't you people forget in June 18 Metro Exodus will be upgraded free on PS5/ Xbox series

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1050d ago

Oh I haven't forgot at all! I'm looking forward to that update.

SyntheticForm1050d ago

Just bought the Gold Edition for 20 bucks with the current PSN discount. Now I'm just waiting for that upgrade and I'm going to platinum that beast.

IanTH1050d ago (Edited 1050d ago )

I'll be curious to see how that stacks up to the PC version that requires raytracing capable GPUs. I have the RT-only version of Exodus sitting patiently in my Steam library, but I'm not convinced I'll ever actually get a GPU upgrade. Been sitting in the damn EVGA queue for my RTX card since 12/1/2020! And who knows when I might snag a PS5. Absolute madness...

annoyedgamer1050d ago

Metro is made by former Stalker devs.

Eamon1050d ago

It's good to return to the zone.

RaidenBlack1050d ago

Most "cheeki-breeki"-est of the show.

ABizzel11050d ago

This is Forza Horizon 5 for sure.

medman1050d ago

I thought Stalker was the most impressive game at the show, followed by Forza Horizon. I wish more of the games had shown gameplay. I'm really fatigued with shows playing cinematics or in engine trailers. Starfield gave us a late 2022 release date but no details on what exactly the game is and no gameplay? That disappointed me, big time.

annoyedgamer1050d ago

Stalker was the best thing. Atomic Heart looked ok too, and both from East Europe. They are really the ones actually making games that people want.

onisama1050d ago

i think atomic heart trailer was just the best i like weird games... then stalker horizon also halo seems nice ...oh and replaced has such a great art

Yui_Suzumiya1049d ago

Atomic Heart interested me the most as well

medman1049d ago

Yeah I went back and watched the show again and somehow Replaced I didn't really notice the first time around but that game looks incredible.

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

Alexious249d 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.

shinoff2183249d ago

The war isn't exactly over

Tacoboto249d ago

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

Lightning77249d ago

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

Alexious249d ago

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

got_dam249d ago

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

z2g249d 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?

ModsDoBetter463d ago

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

shinoff2183463d ago

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

ModsDoBetter463d 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”.

Jericho1337463d 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.

RaidenBlack486d ago

One of my most anticipated game ....

Jericho1337486d 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.

lonewolf10486d ago

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

OG_TK_Cole486d ago

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

XxINFERNUSxX486d 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.

repsahj486d 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.

JCOLE13195486d ago

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

repsahj486d ago

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

StarkR3ality485d ago

@rep

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

Lightning77486d ago

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

Hopefully it still makes it out this year.

RaidenBlack485d 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 ...
