☠ We're Chernobylite. ☠

April 26th, 1:23 AM Ukrainian time. Exactly at this date and time the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe has started. The melted core of the burning Reactor No. 4 mixed with the other chemical substances to create a highly radioactive material that hadn't exist anywhere in the world besides Chernobyl.

And we're going to tell you the story of Chernobylite: conspiracy, horror, survival, love, and obsession in a form of a video game.

But it's just the beginning. We're a game development team from Poland that has been spending a lot of time in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone gathering all data and materials required to make the ultimate survival horror experience of the Chernobyl catastrophe. We want to bring you a deep, emotional story, engaging survival and horror experience, and a visually stunning recreation of Chernobyl area achieved with detailed 3D scanning of rich game world, beautifully rendered in Unreal Engine 4.
Follow us if you would like to visit Chernobyl like you have never seen before. In the following months, apart from photos and movies we'll be taking on our trips to Chernobyl Zone, showing materials from in-game environment and teasing the story and characters.
Keep us on your radar!

I love Chernobyl as setting in games or books, but it's so stressful to play horror games ;_;

 

[jufonuk]

Unreal Engine 4, switch version?
I asked on the page they cannot say today if switch version is being done

 

[Masatshi]

setting and premise sounds interesting, but Get Even was not a good game in my opinion... so.... I don't think this will be much better...

It's a setting that has way to few good games to play. I look forward to hopefully more great games in that setting.

Same question

 

[scalman]

It needs good story dialogs and such to make good game. Besides nice graphics there isnt much to see here .

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Same question

I think maybe it's related to me and is a mistake of some mod. I requested in that thread to delete one of my post because i posted twice the same information and i reported my own post to be deleted. Maybe they deleted the whole thread by error?

 

[Tesseract]

we'll see, gotta be honest man i'm not that impressed by killer atmospherics anymore, stalker set that bar years ago

give me some great mechanics and we'll talk

The truth finally explodes !

 

[nkarafo]

Not a fan of all these horror tropes i'm seeing. The Chernobyl setting and story is scary enough by itself, it doesnt need yet more demonic dolls and twitching heads.

 

[scalman]

i kinda want install stalkers again ..

 

[wipeout364]

Get even was Ok, It did have some tense moments and cool ideas, but It overall was not really a game I would go out of my way to recommend.

This looks kind of cool, I do like that Eastern European/ Russian setting, there is a built in claustrophobic and hopeless feeling to them that I do not find replicated in games from other parts of the world. That’s not a criticism just my impression as someone who does enjoy output from these studios.

I hate how so many first person games make the movement looks so unrealistic, feels like you are a camera and not a human being, totally turns me off on games.

*If you wonder why swirling text is covering the very important part of the image, the answer is: it's not allowed to show the hardware development kits without special permission from their manufacturer.

After years and years of owning this, I finally started playing.

And damn, this is awesome.

I have 10 hours in it so far, explored four or five maps. This is quite incredibly impresive given how small the team making it was. The graphics is AAA level with very few compromises (like no facial animations because everyone wears gas mask). The core gameplay loop of going on missions, exploring, stealthing, ocasionally fighting, then going back to base and building some stuff and taking care of team mates, while ocasionally making story decisions, works really well.

I am intrigued by the story. Dialogues are very natural(istic), as only slavs can write them.
Russian voice acting is great and adds to the atmosphere.

If STALKER 2 does not make it out this year, Chernobylite is a great alternate - it is different in its design (smaller separate maps, basebuilding) but it does scratch a similar itch and the setting is very well portraied.

Is the next gen patch available for the XSX/PS5 yet ?

Is the next gen patch available for the XSX/PS5 yet ?

It has native current gen versions, not sure if last gen version is patchable.
