Support NeoGAF

[StereoVsn]

Meanwhile I'm just here like "I hope this game comes out on time".

Personally I think it will either be delayed into 2025 or be buggy as hell. Or could be both!

It's the final stretch, I'm almost certain it will.

Just a ball of optimism, ain'tcha.

 

[rodrigolfp]

60fps.
Good image quality.

Pick one.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Super cereal question.

Can my STALKER be a fat trany, and is the game inclusive?

 

[Skifi28]

is the game inclusive?

It includes all sorts of mutants, so it's really hard to feel excluded.

 

[StereoVsn]

Just a ball of optimism, ain'tcha.

I hope to be wrong though. I know I will buy the game on Steam, just not at release, lol.

 

[FoxMcChief]

It includes all sorts of mutants, so it's really hard to feel excluded.

Did you just call trans, mutants? lol

 

[rodrigolfp]

the CPUs just couldn't do 60.

SW Battlefront 2 disagrees. All bullshit. If devs wanted they could do 60fps.

 

[Skifi28]

Did you just call trans, mutants? lol

I was talking about mutants, don't know anything about "trans".

 

[BigLee74]

the game is likely only 10% gunplay. the rest is all exploration. id rather the 90% of the game look the best it can look and settle for 30 fps for the few combat encounters.

You can’t have played any of the Stalker games before, because there are more than a few combat encounters.

60fps should always be a priority. 30fps an option for masochists.

(Just finished replaying the first stalker - clunky AF - just as I remembered it)

 

[Little Chicken]

It's what I expect from the World's Most Powerful Console.

 

[Bojji]

I don't doubt it but at what resolution?

 

[Stafford]

I just played it at gamescom.. it was so good, i cannot wait to play the full release

How is the AI of human enemies? Or just in general for that matter?

 

[FoxMcChief]

I was talking about mutants, don't know anything about "trans".

Hmmmm. That don’t know……

I think you need to take THE TEST.

Question: Would or wouldn’t?

 

[Mr Moose]

It should. Recommended spec is a 3700X and RTX 2070 Super / 1080ti / 5700xt which should translate very well to the consoles. Great to hear!

Series S:

 

[rodrigolfp]

I don't doubt it but at what resolution?

Good image quality = 4k or at least non fucked DLSS quality/DLAA.

Just a ball of optimism, ain'tcha.

To be fair the previous games were notoriously buggy at launch. Still reckon this will be good. Just a question of when though and if at launch. Hearing 60fps and positive hands on, is encouraging though.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I don't doubt it but at what resolution?

I don’t think anyone has come out and said. But resolution doesn’t mean everything. Take a look at Starfield for example. Its new performance mode is at a lower resolution, but its image quality is top notch. Resolution doesn’t mean as much as it used to.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Hoping for a 30fps option for that cinematic experience.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

well, it's the most powerful console ever made after all.

 

[Negotiator101]

Well it's 12tf of pure power.

 

[Negotiator101]

Hoping for a 30fps option for that cinematic experience.

You mean 24fps.

 

[R6Rider]

You mean 24fps.

It's all about that shutter speed.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Going to be fine. It's a shooter not a complicated RPG with lots of systems running in the background. Also running on UE5 so no archaic engine holding it back.

 

[Pelao]

Nice, now I'll download it for sure to give it a try.
I had no idea it was coming to Gamepass.

 

[Skifi28]

Hmmmm. That don’t know……

Question: Would or wouldn’t?

I would....have included it in stalker.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I would....have included it in stalker.

It

 

[JackMcGunns]

damn cant wait for the ps5 pro version.

Correct.

 

[Stafford]

Watching the Xbox stream now and the dev too says they are showing it on Xbox there but when the gameplay starts it's clearly PC. Or can you actually hook up keyboard and mouse nowadays on Xbox?

You can.

 

[StueyDuck]

Glad to hear it, I still am a little worried this isn't going to live up to what we all expect a STALKER 2 to be.

But here's hoping

 

[adamsapple]

Yes, lots of game, even the Xbox UI, has KB+M support natively these days.

 

[thatJohann]

Pay attention, developers. This is how it should be on consoles. One single mode and well-optimized. Save all the graphics settings toggles for PC.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Yes, lots of game, even the Xbox UI, has KB+M support natively these days.

I heard Concord on PC has keyboard and mouse support.

 

[Stafford]

You can.

Oh wow, i had no idea. That's kinda awesome for those that really want to use it. I won't, it's far from ideal on the couch looking at the big screen. But in that case it looks super smooth on XSX. Unfortunately it's solely night gameplay, but ah well.

[Dr.Morris79]

it won't be obscure anymore.

 

[Skifi28]

I heard Concord on PC has keyboard and mouse support.

Impossible to confirm. I hear literally nobody bought it.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Impossible to confirm. I hear literally nobody bought it.

There was a thread about awesome Concord PC features. Mouse and keyboard support was one of them.

 

[Roberts]

A wonderful surprise. I think all the promotional videos so far have been 30fps so I kind of assumed it is what we are going to get.

 

[Stafford]

Haha, nah that ain't for me. I got my dog most of the time sleeping next to me or on my lap, so that wouldn't work.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I hear ya. On weekends, I’m in my recliner, I have my 5 year old laying between my legs, my 2 year old sleeping on my arm, and 1-2 cats laying on my chest. It’s a sight, lol. My wife has many pictures of me with everyone/thing laying on me while I’m asleep. They all steal my warmth!

Yep, the other games were great but janky as hell. I love Stalker series, but will wait for technical assessment.

 

[Bry0]

Uh, stalker has tons of rpg elements and systems running in the background…

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Can't imagine anything less since the game was drastically downgraded visually.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Uh, stalker has tons of rpg elements and systems running in the background…

Not really. It has some basic RPG elements but hardly anything that stresses the CPU enough to turn it into a 30 fps game.

A-life in xray brought every pc to its knees on the original game. I couldn’t get good frames in anomaly until I bought a 5800x3d. X-ray was a pretty old engine though

 

[skyfinch]

You guys seeing the common theme? Black Myth on PS5 is rock solid 60fps, now Stalker 2 on Xbox is the same.
It took a while but I think 60fps is here to stay this gen!

 

[GinSama]

watch the gameplay footage they released last week. it has little to no action. its an exploration game.

its no metro.

I really hope people don't go to play this game thinking about Metro....

Stalker is a very different game than Metro.
