There's so much DLC opportunity, i hope by the end of the game's cycle we have no clouded areas on the map and everything's fully integrated and accessible with no load screens and so on. This game has incredible potential if they play their cards right.
Yeah. I think most of cloud areas will be open for us later (even those in the beginning of the game before military outposts and walls). I guess thats why they called DLCS as EXPANSIONS. It is something really big.
Bridge to Limansk implies on potential DLC setup. There's a bit of environmental storytelling there - a corpse of a guy who was sent from Malachite to investigate a strange signal coming from Limansk. There's a radio receiver there, which you can tune. Upon doing so, there's a very creepy transmission that airs for like 10 seconds and goes silent. Would love to see Limansk fully explorable.
Those are some amazing finds! Even if Jupiter Factory or Northern Pripyat are not in the game now, the amount of detail for locations not available in the game - especially in the Oasis, seems to confirm that they will make it into the game sooner or later. Especially as the physical map included with some editions suggests, there is something in the western parts of the map
Loads of DLC opportunities in there In the leaked files from 2023 there were mentions of: - DLC 'Secrets of Limansk' (marked outside of the Red Forest bridge) - DLC 'Cold Island' north of the SIRCAA where you found loads of vegetation - DLC 'SANDY PLATEAU' north of Prypiat (there's also a NORTH PRYPIAT marked in red)
@@LifeEnjoyer463 Honestly I still have to do a double take whenever I cross over from Rostok to the Wild Territory and I DON'T get a loading screen. It was cool exploring old areas in Clear Sky and seeing how they differed from SoC. This just takes it to a whole 'nother level though.
Cool video, of course DLC´s utilizing these locations would be great. Some of these structures are instantly recognizable to fans :) Its amazing how much they recreated. To my liking Pripyat could be bigger, and the famous Azure Pool still seems to be missing :(
I recall Limask being showcased in early teasers for the game. There was an image showcasing it in high detail with the iconic radio masts on the hill. I have been combing through all of the promo looking for it, but have been unable to find it so far. I will update WHEN I do find it, because I know 100% I have seen it.
@marceloalejandro8228 Not the specific image or trailer scene I am remembering, but I've found bits and pieces throughout several of the trailers. Now, mind you, it could be the Duga radar I am seeing, just from another location with buildings. That or there was infact a somewhat playable version of Limansk at one point. Hard to say. Combing through the Discord now looking for it. There's a lot to go through.
@@MalcomHeavy I think Limansk has always been an after thought for a DLC If you go around the leaked maps from 2022/2023 they mention a DLC called 'Secrets of Limansk' alongside other two DLC's and the area for Limansk is completely empty One DLC area named 'Cold Island' that sort of shows up in the physical map of the game with "SNOW????" Having said all this, I really hope we get to see a merge between Limansk and Dead City in the near future
Nice video man! I also used UETools to explore the area a bit, but not as much as you ;-) You should have shown the generators area, too. There are also some nice details - like the little village between Pripyat and the generators which looked pretty finished. From what i noticed, i think the devs ran out of time for finishing the game as you have to walk everything in this game - except the finally. You get from Pripyat to the western border of the "Cooling Towers" area to the red fortress and from there, to the generators. I guess the intention was to go through the iron forest or SIRCAA to it, fight the monolithians and then make an ambush towards the generators, crossing the CNPP area. Then, when arrived at the generators, you have to fight yourself to the tower in the middle and all the way down to the lab. As far as i found out, the lab, or the final area, is just below the tower. But as we all can see, the devs love details and i guess so they just hadnt enough time to finish everything and so they decided to make those shortcuts - at least in my playthrough Richter brought me to the Red Fortress and then i jumpel into a teleport anomaly after Strelok.
My biggest hope is that the chornobyl nuclear power plant is fully modelled. Inside and out, i want to be able to explore every hallway in that place, and hear the geiger counter going off the whole time. Also funny reference, with the "there is no graphite on the roof"
@@adrashmadra7149 it's a reference to the HBO miniseries "Chernobyl" where the people in charge refused to believe the reports from the power plant workers that they saw graphite on the roof immediately following the meltdown.
From what I know based on all info that leaked there will be a story DLC featuring more Pripyat and Limansk. I hope they will add the whole CNPP. Stalker 2 cannot be without it.
Kudos to you. I havent got to yanov yet, obviously i didn't know that we dont have full pripyat and cnpp at all. I knew about Limansk is not there because its supposed to be as dlc . Same with Cold Island as it mentioned in collectors edition map. Thats why im confused. They said that we will have only 2 expansions. And it will be pity if they will not add cnpp and all pripyat within or out of those 2 dlcs promise.
Even if they cant put quests in certain areas, like iron forest, it would still be nice to make them high hazard zones where you have a higher chance (like 20%) to get legendary artifacts from the area
You also not show "Generators" location, right behind CNPP. I been there couple days ago with no clip, and this location completion, i think, is about 85%. It's more detailed than CNPP itself. So, i guess that we see that location in the first DLC for sure.
Йоооу дуже цікаве дослідження! бачу великий простір для ДЛС. мапа і так велечезна, не знав що там щось є, за звичай розробники виталяють таке або роблять лоу полі\2д силуети будівель. по суті технологія наніт спрощує все на такий відстані до 4 полігонів якщо гравець далеко, тому вони хайполі. Wow, very interesting research! I see a large space for DLC. The map is already huge, I didn't know there was something there, usually developers blur this out or make low poly\2D silhouettes of buildings. In fact, the nanite technology simplifies everything at such a distance to 4 polygons if the player is far away, so they are high poly.
The bloodsucker spawns are crazy in this game at times. I fought a ridiculous amount before just making a run for it when a small group showed up for the 5th time to help
im a real man so ill stick with all the bugs and tanky mutants until i finish the game (for now i've just gotten past sircaa,les hope there arent more bugs)
I wonder if a lot of this is built to later use in a remake of the first game. It would make sense for them to do that. Dlc is definitely possible but I think a future remake is going to be inevitable
@@novAviator01 jupiter was the CoP map that Yanov Station was located on, but there was also the Jupiter Facility itself. Was a very big part of the map and I'm glad we're probably gonna see it in DLC
Awesome video! Thanks! What do you think about exploring labs? A lot of areas there were left unexplored and it would be amazing to see the true scale of those underground complexes...
I'm pretty sure this was to be the original "red fortress". It actually looks like an entrenched area you can defend. Not some random scaffolding and unfinished concrete walls.
What's about possible snow region in potential Dlc. Cuz, in physical edition map, north-east site was stated as a: "Snow?" I've doubt that this idea was called off, otherwise they won't include it in final variant of the map, but who knows...
@@DishwasherGamingExtreme that’s actually crazy maybe a dlc or something I hope but it’s stupid to have the game named heart of Chornobly and you don’t even explore the heart of chornobly like what 😂
Bro could you release a video of you no cliping and showing the entire world (both the playable and unplayable)? literally can't find any videos like this online and dying to see what the world looks like from Birds Eye view.
Wow...seriuosly dude?) Of course it's time and resources constraints, but seing all this preallocated basic meshes and terrain only means one thing - dlcs. It is miracle that we already have what we have)
the very first thing i did as soon as i got out of the lesser zone was walk all the way to the cnpp and was disappointed to find i couldnt get into it, but assumed i would get there from a quest at some point.... pain
9:36 - OASIS location ^^ It is incredible how these type of locations are so accurate compared to older Stalker games. I bet they just converted many of locations from earlier games to save time and resources and then updated them with newer models etc.
Do you think they will potentially expand the map further with perhaps some of the fogged up areas in an expansion, or will they just stick solely within the existing map?
i can understand why they didnt include it yet, if you go inside the building it's empty, but also quite large. all the rubble and debris they will have to put in it's not easy on the developers or the total file size of the game, not to mention our graphic cards 😱 and players will complain if it doesn't look similar to real life footage of reactor 4
lore wise i doubt it was intended to be used in the current finished product, most likely gonna be used in an upcoming content patch or dlc, after rolling credits they have a few ways they could use it but by this point at the beginning of the story, the monolithians have all but abandoned the place by this point and are pretty much a bit of history by the time this one takes place. so the CNPP is pretty much left empty, gutted over the last decade.
im pretty sure its DLC area's most of the work done.. now needs very little to be fully finished give it somwhere 2025 Q1 2026 .. 2 dlc ennroute anyhow so we get occupied anyhow xD
I can't believe that this isn't a finished and in-play area in the finished game. What a letdown. Probably the second biggest let down next to the absolute travesty that is the current broken "A-Life 2.0". How can you make a Stalker game and not include the CNPP?

Id love if we could explore the power plant! Maybe even see the elephants foot too
We will def get Limansk and CNPP, but others idk the snowy? area prob too
Exactly, I'm guessing that all of those cloudy areas will be unlocked in the next DLC's same goes with other missing mechanics ;)
Hope they fix the game, before releasing cut-content for money.

Limansk is a planned DLC
what the other guy said. Theres already 2 story expansions planned, plus a season pass for future DLC.
Yeah i hope limansk dlc will be released before snowy area dlc
It's planing as one of expansions on leaked map it directly says dlc "Mystery of Limansk"
Limansk and CNPP are future DLCs.

- DLC 'SANDY PLATEAU' north of Prypiat (there's also a NORTH PRYPIAT marked in red)
Seeing how much work already has been put into those areas, I'm sure they will not just abandon it.
Guess it's gonna be a DLC
You know how many games have areas like this that are basically built that never ever get touched again
as an og player, seeing all og locations coming back, brings a tear to my eye :)
The coolest thing is how it's seamless, it's so strange to go to places that would have been out of bounds before

"no graphite on the roof," huh? Dyatlov strikes again
Dlc or not, modders can make so much content here. Amazing
would love to see a Stalker Co-op mod to play this with friends with radiant sidequests pickable factions etc faction wars would be a riot to have
Wow a lot of hidden locations, they gonna release the roadmap of the game soon so hope we can get more info
Devs confirmed that the ModKit will allow editing of the world. You can only imagine what modders could do with these areas.

Sucks how we have the whole exclusion zone in the game and we can’t get into the power plant
Not yet but im also disappointed too. Especially that its the title of the game
Well, it's not the "whole" zone either. The game's map is only 60 sq km. While the actual zone is more than 1000 sq km.
Sucks that i read this comment without finishing the main story line yet
@@isaiahe1408 You probably shouldn’t be watching stalker videos or reading comments sections without finishing the game first
We will be able to, it’s a marked area on the map, just like the iron Forrest you just can’t unlock it like you can the iron Forrest

CNPP and Iron forest are marked on the map as regions. So they WILL be in the game. Others are under question.
There are three DLCs mentioned on the 2022/2023 maps
well some of those Dlcs could open more than one area up depending on the story elements with it. i wanna be able to get in find the OG wish granter.
If you go up to generators "the end game area" theres a ton of unused meshes over there that are super cool.
Impressive base for devs and modders to bring old locations back

No wonder the lag is so bad! Great game but not all buildings need interiors 😭😭😭
Game has seasonpass for future content. Might be that.
Maybe they will be part of DLC those buildings and texture not exist because of over develop or cutting budget
interesting
It's a shame you can't explore cnpp but then again, there's literally nothing there anymore - it's been plundered in the last 10 off screen years
Probably DLC. They already spent allot of time and money on all that stuff.

1 is, the generators
