It definitely looks like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in the best possible way.
Take your time, I'll be there day 0.
 
Man, this trailer is so bad. The downgrade, holy shit. The gunplay and AI are also awful.

What the hell is happening at Xbox ? I really hope Starfield is a good game because Forza and STALKER 2 feels both like freaking disaster.

They nailed the atmosphere and it looks superb, gunplay looks really solid too.
Not that long to wait either, presuming it will be the first big release of the year.
 
Looks nothing like the pics but still looks gritty and atmospheric; it looks like CoP but modern and honestly i am fine with that. It's Stalker as fuck.
 
Time of day and weather also impacts a lot of the visual pizzazz of the franchise and the trailer showed the most boring conditions visually. This game will deliver jaw dropping vistas when you least expect them if any of the visual language of the previous entries carries over; the trailer indicates it will.
 
Looks cool, gonna play it for sure, thought it may be something closer to Metro Exodus but it seems different, still seems like a lot of fun.

100% the bubble anomaly thing looks awesome. Can't wait to see what kind of crazy anaomalies there are. They looked artistically stunning in COP

Also curious who the VO is for skif, sounds super familiar to me but maybe it's just the accent? It a perfect fit though a sort of American localized version of the types of people you'd find in the zone. Makes me think of Henry hill.

Isn't Stalker a multiplatform, third-party game?
 
Looks great. As I've said before, it's amazing it's even still coming through, and that development was even able to continue with everything GSC Game World was going through.
 
Nooooo....where is Lumen? Lumen/lighting is what makes games look truly look next gen. I don't believe majority of the gaming population realizes just how much lighting affects the atmosphere and overall look and feel of a game.

I am hoping to god this is only the consoles versions. Worst case scenario, mods will save it and enable Lumen on PC, or the developers will add it separately to it on PC.

Will still play day 1.

Now everyone can see it very clearly.
 
Forget all the other Microsoft exclusive releases, that inevitably disappoint, THIS is the game that Microsoft should be pushing hard advertisment wise.

I expect it will be fantastic.

this isnt a xbox title....also the graphics were down graded. Doesn't mean the game will be bad. I can't wait for this one. Stalker is criminally underrated

That's what happens when you use in-game shots that looked like painted over bullshots as "screenshots". There was no way the game was going to look anything like those first screenshots because they were presumably straight up painted over in 2d image software. Why is this still allowed and not punished with fines for fraudulence?

One of the biggest downgrades I've seen. Like Watch Dogs level downgrade. It might not even look as good as Metro Exodus now.
 
There is a downgrade for sure, but did anyone not expect that 🤷‍♂️. Mark this thread for next time we see actual fable gameplay and we'll start this whole cycle again.

In terms of the actual game, it's looking great, I hope it continues the heart and feel of the originals and from the previews it sounds like it possibly may be.

Screenshots aside, what was this:

Target footage? CGI?
 
Visual downgrade of the century, holy shit. Also really dislike the typical American NY accent voice actor.

"I wus in almost nuthin' but my birthday suit"

Why would you do that?

This 'ain't MS. I think the game may actually be a timed exclusive, but not too sure on that one.

The game is held back by the PS5 DE because it hasn't got a disk drive so they went with xbox at launch and will release on PS later when they figure it out.
 
I'm amazed we still see 2005-2016 era Ubisoft photoshopped bullshots these days, but there it is.

It's literally gameplay with concept art drawn on top.
 
It was obvious the first gameplay trailer was 100% bullshit visually, and you had to be a true idiot to believe in it.

Still I love Stalker and am eager to play this one

I think most of us we're kind of expecting a "downgrade" or rather anticipating footage of the real game without all the smoke and mirrors bullshit of the early trailers.

I think it looks STALKER as fuck. I am pumped. But I never expected it to look like those first trailers.
 
I immediately noticed it in the new footage, wtf man. And it's not even like it looked too good to begin with. Seemed very doable to me.

En, what does Xbox have to do with this? It's not like they are developing this. Hell, we don't even know if they are helping out. Let's blame Xbox though.
 
Yeah, for better or worse, this new video looks how you imagine a modern STALKER game would look. These early screenshots were too good to be true.
