Once the game comes out I think we'd all like a video of Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armories in the UK taking a look at the weapons

This series means a lot to me, and I'm just so happy to finally see something happen. Wishing for the war to end asap, for all the reasons one should, but also for the selfish reason of visiting Chornobyl again.

I can't wait to play this maxed out on my pc. I'm so excited. See you in the zone Stalkers. Be safe out there.

gamespot please, even if its just 1080p footage, can you upload it in a 4k container? the youtube compression is killing the details on the plants and foliage.

[sainterasmus]

Even with the messsed up YouTube compression, this looks amazing. Can't' wait to explore the Zone.

[luisanthonycampos]

Despite the obstacles they had along the way, they managed to move forward. We thank them for their effort and dedication. I hope to God that the war ends soon.

[JohnPeacekeeper]

Man, I love that a lot of areas still have the same base layout even if some things have been moved or added (which is understandable given the timeskip)

[SpookyFairy]

This is the type of game that you are immersed with the silence as with the action. Can't wait!

[williamrice]

Funny all the casuals in the comments section don't even know what alife is and how important it is to the series but is somehow not even mentioned in this deep dive.

[cyrlangaming]

Please don't flop or be greedy like other AAAA games, I don't want another classic games died because of greedy executives.

[aaronreurink]

Made me quite emotional thinking how much love and heartbreak went into this. Forever a fan of the franchise, I can not wait for more of my favorite world to immerse into. Much love and appreciation from Canada.

[PripyatDemon]

GAMMA fans gonna be shocked when this game plays like STALKER

[thething]

I hope, beyond all things, that the world is not just large for the sake of being large, but it uses the space to DO things. It doesn't have to be a boss every five feet, but having unique locations and avoiding the "there's 90km of space with 3 fun things to see" syndrome

[CeleonA]

That really looks like Stalker 🤩 I have a good feeling about this game

[chriss_]

This looks amazing so far. Waiting patiently for the launch ❤️❤️

[Yshtola.]

I need this game sooo bad, no game hits that desolate bleak atmosphere like stalker does.

[abhijeetdey]

Other than that inventory menu, everything looked great!

[AdamHartGaming]

30:54 Impressive how detail oriented this dev is!

[claudiociucur]

Im seeing how people can find the worst even in the small things without trying to appreciate how the game is and was idealized .
