Is this the same as I already own on the switch? Also I swear the trilogy bundle was also already on the series x months ago with the switch. How is this any different?
Great to hear the pc version getting some love. Hope it don't mess up mods though.

Was satisfied with the metro games and now the stalker games are on console.

Did not realise this was a thing until I booted up Steam, and it said the enhanced editions were available now. 4.1gb, 6.6gb, and 6.9gb.

What time is it?
I've been hoping for and a little surprised they didn't do more aggressive discounting before adding it to subscription services. I was waiting for it to hit $15, but will just play it vis PS+ now.

Nice! I got them cheap on pc lately and haven't started it yet. Thought I got swindled for a second there.

They need to fix Stalker 2 before they release more Stalker games, but here we are. 
PS- and send all owners of S2 this as an apology, too. Now we see why it is taking so long to fix S2, cuz they got Demitri and Yuri working on this shite! Never buying a game from GSC ever again, that's for damn sure.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
What did they censor?
Bro can't just say that and bounce! What did they censor or cut?

Removed Russian VO (i.e. the original language of the game) and also removed certain assets (statues, etc.) I'm guessing because they were too "Soviet" (as if the entire game isn't). At least they've done so with SoC, I haven't looked into the others yet. There's an article on PCGamer with a couple examples.
"The monument/sign outside Chornobyl itself, which reads "ChAES in the name of VI Lenin," has been straightforwardly deleted, leaving just the two concrete blocks it used to stand on." Won't let me copy the pictures here but they're in the article.
Steam forums and reviews are a warzone. Very disappointing decision. A remaster or re-release should never be censored. Never.

So it's not just replacing stuff, but deleting it from the game which is way lazier lol.
Some more specific details from some post on reddit:
I think I'll stick with the originals. I'm not into politics but altering the game in such a lazy way just for the sake of censorship... Yeah nah, fuck off.
Plus I don't care about some graphical enhancements that I could mod into the original game anyway...

Yeh like the Steam forum post states, the way they've done it just comes across as vindictive and doesn't "enhance" the game in any way. They clearly have zero respect for the source material, so there's no reason for players to respect this version of the game.

I don't know if anyone asked this, but can you still play the original console releases from last year (I have them on Xbox)? Or do you get the enhanced versions by default?
As for the censorship, I can understand it in Stalker 2 which was released after Russia's invasion. But retroactively changing the content of older games? That's not good.

They are in an active war with Russia who wants to literally enslave them ofcourse they are salty.
I am more surprised people care. I never knew there were so many people who loved Russia.

Their FAQ stated the enhanced editions would be seen as new games in your library, which also means saves won't be compatible or mods etc

Usually releases like this don't remove access the originals, unless they try to hide it behind a forced sequel like Overwatch 2 as an example. The original versions are still in my Steam library.

I looked forward to buying it after seeing all the nice graphical enhancements.
The Stalker series is very important for me personally and my family. I remember how my father, brother, and I were waiting and anticipating the release of the very first game all these years back (teenage me even took part in the short story contest that devs organized for the fans back then).
Growing up in Soviet/post-Soviet Russia, living here in the West now, this series (as well as Metro) was my saving grace when I felt nostalgic for my lost Motherland.
This censorship of the remasters is just tasteless, wrong, and simply disrespectful to the games as an art and for all the people who loved and played them. Plain dumb regardless of the politics and current world events.
I'm not buying it anymore.

I'm retarded?
Considering how trash Stalker 2 is, I expected nothing less.

It's not a matter of loving Russia (I personally hate their actions and fully support Ukraine), it's just pointless censorship of something that has zero impact on the war. It's basically a form of historical revisionism with zero merit to it.

Thanks, I finished the og Shadow of Chernobyl and didn't have any major complaints. Going to do the same with two other games.

Anyone having issues with getting a wireless mouse to work on PS5? I've tried using both dongle mouse and straight Bluetooth, keyboard works fine. What's weird is that my PS5 registers my Bluetooth mouse just fine, just the game that won't. I can navigate the menu and control my character with my keyboard, but mouse just won't work.

Has anyone tried upgrading a physical PS4 game on the PS5 yet? I'm wondering what happens when you insert the disc - does it trigger a full download of the PS5 version? Are previous save files still usable? Or does it just apply a patch to the PS4 version?
Mh, the FAQ doesn't go into detail, it just states :

Yes, keyboard and mouse support will be available on consoles for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition."

Yeah, this is a terrible revision of already established media!
This is akin to rewriting the Metro books because 'Russia bad'
It's just awful.
Not a fan of this at all.

Censorship is bad, in most if not all cases.

This is cool, It's nice to see them on PS Plus as well. I assume GamePass has it, too.
These games were infinitely better than STALKER2, i really wanted it to be good but it just didn't live up to much more than just graphics.
Some of those enhancements are looking rather good.
