NEW S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernoybl gameplay trailer incoming

Im glad it has inventory management. was fearing they would remove it.

I like Metro so im on this game.

Another Metro hater lol.

Metro series is masterpiece.

this game still have STALKER 1 DNA with inventory system, anomalies, stamina system, tons of freedom in zone.

It was supposed to come out in 2022 but the war in Ukraine delayed it. The end of the video today said 2023. Since the devs moved away from the front lines I do not see any reason it wont come in 2023

Perhaps, but if the game is fundamentally structured on top of and centered around a scripted, cinematic foundation, I doubt mods will be able to gut that.

I really don’t understand how the developers don’t get that scripted cutscenes, even those that are integrated seamlessly into the gameplay as they appear to be here, are antithetical and destroy the unpredictable, dynamic, and emergent nature that defines this franchise. Any suspension of the world, even temporarily, defeats the entire point of what differentiates these games from all others and makes them so engrossing. I have to believe it’s money talking, that it’s being designed this way, because STALKER can be pretty uncompromising (especially early on), and would probably turn a lot of gamers off.

I am aware, and i never believed that it would come out in early 2022. There was nothing shown about the game BEFORE the war began. This is one of those games that they give you a date, when said date is approaching, they delay it by six months. When we're nearing those 6 months, they release a statement saying something similar to what Bethesda did with Starfield, and call it a day. Before the war in Ukraine, i would've expected the game to come out in late 2023 by the earliest. Now...🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

tbh im also not very impressed by this either. it just missing STALKER 1 vibe.

if this was trailer for Metro 4 I would be all over it but Stalker? nah.

before I saw inventory

I was giving it up and consider it "screw this game" until I see and my faith restore.

now all i see this game as Deus Ex human revolution. amazing game not as good as original Deus Ex that was best game ever.

Stalker 1 is Deus Ex, Stalker 2 is Human revolution.

It wouldn't matter. The campaign might be shit, but who plays an open world game for its campaign?

@uninspiredcup: I still dont know why its difficult for them to follow Arkane and do Prey 2017.

no modern elements. pure old school despite being multiplat.

guess only Arkane can do this kind of stuff.

my hype for STALKER 2 is down now. its below Atomic heart, Alan wake 2, System shock now.

Was worried about Metro in Stalker skin and it might end up being that, sure.

But was also worried we'd just get a trailer that's ripe for gifs, which is what this is. You can't communicate the Stalker experience in a short sporadic trailer.

Can't really glean much from what was shown here. Need to see extended, raw gameplay footage. See a how a full mission unfolds.

I get the pessimism, I'm there too. If I had to bet, be betting against it. But I'm far from decided, that trailer doesn't say much.

Damn it.

Calm your tits, its not yet over. We need something like a 10 minutes plus uncut gameplay to be certain.

Metro haters really hating it.

Im being an optimist. not super impressed but not diminishing it.

@Litchie:

Eh, really think we need to see uncut gameplay first.

Like if you go back and watch the SoC trailers, looks even less like Stalker than this lol. Makes the game look like CoD, but even more over the top.

Stalker really isn't a game for the standard hype trailer format.

This one's especially funny in hindsight.

Mad they had no guitar tunes in the trailer.

Press F to pick up cloud.

This looks fine, hard to say. A trailer is just a trailer.

As long as mutated, radioactive Putin is the final boss it will be a cool game.

Probably out this upcoming March.

Well, at least it's proof of life. Guess that's the best we can hope for.

Like the previous trailer, the gun still doesn't have much recoil.

Yup, looks like CoD set in a zone or does that make it a Metro which it self is a Russian CoD.

Metro is masterpiece series but I agree Stalker should be Stalker instead of Metro.

Will he wear a mech suit or not?

Lol I guess he should. Or perhaps enter the game riding shirtless on a horse 😂. And it shouldn't be a boss fight. It should be a "special enemy interaction".
