Please, despite the game looking good and interesting, don't forget what made the past stalker good. It's not all playstation cinematics, it's about the Zone. The vibe. The freedom.

[nons]

What made previous stalkers good was the atmosphere, ambient sounds, weather. Freedom to choose what you were going to do next. Waiting out a storm, idling in camp. Restocking and managing your gear. Don't make it a tunnel. There's the Metro -series for that.

Strider, a monolith from the first crusade to the centre of the zone.
One of the first to fall for the c-con.
Resurrected into a new person with the destruction of c-cpn by Strelok.

He directed an escape with fellow monolith renegades.
Aided by degtiarev, routing again to the centre, this time, not by fanatism but in search for answers.

Glad to see him return.
Anxious as to what we will be seeing.

my dad loved stalker series so much, sadly passed away before the sequel drops. Rest in Peace Stalker

[posivy]

WOAH. The idea of the protag being a freed Monolith soldier is a really interesting twist. My excitement for this game just went through the roof! ☢

Watching this you dead serious realize that Mooze's soundtrack was the biggest part of what made stalker so captivating and horrifying at the same time

Respect for the devs for producing this for us during the hard war times in ukraine!

[majdichabbeh]

i hope there is a ost with russian/ukranian voices with subtitles. i feel the language (voiceovers) is very important aspect of Stalker series. just an opinion of a fanatic fan of stalker. Yet still not convinced this one is on th right track (like focusing on cinematics more than on the content...), but still counting on the modding community that made the series shine beyond any expectation.

What most important things they need to nail is the atmosphere, the zone itself and how NPC interact with each other. All those things are what made people came back time and time again over the years despite the game barely works most of the time.

[johnclement]

I hope this still captures the mood of the zone like in old stalker, there's this kick where atmosphere and the people you meet and the things you encounter while being in the zone brings mixed emotions, but the end of the day chilling with the homies in campfire is just really good.

Skif being an ex-monolithian is a game changer. Inclusion of a laboratory from the trailer too. This gives a hint that the story will be tightly knit with the Zone, it's functioning and it's future together with the monolith group. I believe that "noosphere" is not something that can be reached from anywhere on Earth, I still want to believe that the Monolith is a real thing and not some C-con's trick or great distraction from the Generators and the labs. The Monolith could be a physical thing that messes up the "gravity" for "noosphere" that makes it go wild. And this twist truly allows the monolith group to become even more righteous and fundamentally important in the lore, they'd become the guardians of the Wish Granter for the sake of all humanity. Still, cannot think of a solution for the Zone existence, one russian stalker book series vividly mentions of a path of a "great fight" in some parallel realities so the Zone stops expanding.

This game is truly the most anticipated by many, for me it’s like Half Life 3 or GTA 6 - same level of expectation

1:39 I didn't expect seeing zelensky at this one

[Bang-ldbe]

I love how people completely forget how much reading there was in the stalker games. It’s obvious we can’t do the text-screen exposition dump - so OF COURSE cutscenes were where it’d go! Stalker is a story game, even if it about shaping your own path in the world and your survival, ultimately the games were there to tell a story, not be a survival experience. Too many people think of the modding scene imo, and yes while they capture the core GAMEPLAY elements, unless they’re specifically trying to emulate the story, often fall short or don’t even bother to change any story elements.

Please don’t look at this trailer and think the direction has changed. Remember, METRO is essentially this game - but that doesn’t make it Metro 2.0. I’m ready for STALKER to reclaim the throne of survival-shooters.

[KarlRock]

Loved the first game and its unique vibe. Can’t wait to this to hit Game Pass!

[RyanEYE]

Breaking down a gun while wearing tactical gloves deserves an award and the title of Professor. Proceed.

[crookedginger]

I’m so surprised and proud that these guys can make this game with what’s going on. Honestly it’s awesome that they’re reviving a cult classic

[Atr]

The disembling of that AK is such a cool animation

[kazeem]

As much as I want this to come out and be a great game, I still have my doubts

[kinisiko]

It feels like uncanny valley when you see these photorealistic shaders applying to the models and animation that feels like from another world
