Liking STALKER and not having played Call of Pripyat is straight up f*cking criminal
yep
why? CoP, despite being the most polished, is underwhelming as a whole.
Agree. Its is a joke. Best one in the 3.
the most boring out of 3
@@daviddjurovic1998 I like the third one better because its not a walking simulator. Least Buggy of the 3. SOC a little too long.
Hi guys, just I’m from Ukraine 🇺🇦
Thank you for covering our game,
And thank you for mentioning GSC
it really is hard to be productive right now, but I am sure that guys are trying their best as well as every person in Ukraine.
Really hope the game will be amazing.
And thank you for great content ! 👍
Watching you for years.
Stalkers most important technological traits are dynamic weather and lighting and advanced AI and ballistics.
I hope those are strong there. Clear Sky actually defeated even 2:32 Crysis and Crysis warhead in some technological aspects in 2008 though obviously not all
Well consider Lumen is one of the best GI solutions on the market, I'd say that have lighting covered. A great thing about Unreal is the physics is very tweakable, where PhysX was often a pain, and Chaos can be replaced by another physics subsystem entirely if they wanted. AI though, we are still using the same systems as we have for years so I wouldn't expect much other than quality animations and set pieces to gloss over it. I think we are on the cusp of new characterAI improvements to go alongside motion matching and other subsystems but with Epic you never know and when you do know then it generally takes even more time as they figure out their own best practices.
god i remember when that came out , i was a kid back then and played on console but a friend of mine who played on pc tried to play it and it straight up played like a slide show . You needed a monster rig for clear sky because of the god rays, ive got a really good pc but still worried about stalker 2 because of ue5 .
AI and ballistics is what I'm really hoping for. OG Stalker, Anomaly, GAMMA had one thin in common. A living and believable world. I want the AI (A-Life) to be as dynamic as the previous games. If I meet a random Stalker in Rookie Village I may find his body or meet him hours later with different gear.
I truly hope the game lives up to at least Call of Pripyat, which I think we can reasonably expect. The original trilogy of games has a special place in my heart.
I think Stalker is more about attention to details than just rough pixel count. Gamespot even compared stalker 2 to rdr2 in recent video (which gives me hope 😊)
Yes. IGN played 40-60 mins demo and RDR2 is a very, VERY high bar.
They said in relation to animations, as in most interactions will have animations. Which is cool and I think Stalker will be a great game, but they weren’t exactly saying it in terms of the open world, story, polish etc. as a huge stalker fan myself all I’m sayin is don’t expect rdr2😂
@@myles5388, oh trust me, I know the game won't be perfect) I’m expecting it will be dying light 2 at worst and Witcher 3 (buggy launch version) at best😄
@@myles5388 literally doesn't need animations, the gameplay is often in mouse-based menus. That's STALKER gameplay - good enough that games like Tarkov straight rip it off. We don't need waste of time modernisms that don't even count as quality-of-life improvements.
@@n0vi I sort of agree, it depends where they’ve put the hours in, if they’ve made mechanics to sit at camp fires and eat etc. that’ll be sick, but i guess we’ll have to wait n see
I have no issue with the character models. I can appreciate that they could be more detailed but I don’t really care if characters look completely real as long as they’re rendered well without any obvious issues (clipping, funky shadows, etc.).
So all 3 of them have no idea about STALKER.
I'd be curious to know if they managed to move to UE 5.4, or if they weren't able to upgrade to the latest version for some code reasons.
They would have no reason to move to UE 5.4 yet. There wasn't enough time to utilise any of the new tools that came with it really as the game was going through final QA. They might have used some of the features from 5.4 in pre-production however if their own testing meant their use case was bug free. Often a coder will deep dive a major update to take commits from the source control and implement them in a previous version. But that doesn't always, and can't always, work because of limitations of backwards compatibility.
@@tehf00n UE 5.4 is not only about the development features. It's also about the CPU performance, which is crucial for current console generation's already aging hardware
UE5 Showcase? All i hear is "poor performance"
Stalker is great. Play the Anomaly/Gamma mod it's really good too. I'm so ready for Stalker 2.
I loved the Misery mod. Looking forward to seeing what modders are gonna do with this game
Also remember to play engine overhauls for the old games. OGSE/R and Gunslinger are cool too.
just dont expect stalker 2 to be like gamma lol its nothing like normal stalker
I dont think this game will be as much of a tech showcase as original stalker which felt almost a decade ahead of its time (after the patches stopped the horrific memory leaks and crashing issues). I expect a great looking game that holds its own among other contemporary games, but isn't mind-blowing. However, if they stay true to the original game-play, but cleaned up, this game will stand out among all the boring open world games we get.
I don't get these guys obsession with motion blur lol, object motion blur is great but camera motion blur is universally hated for a reason.
Well it's clearly not universally hated is it, there is a small minority who are very vocal about disliking it strongly (such as yourself) but they don't keep sticking it most games just because they actively want to annoy their customers do they- it's actually a nice effect when used well.
@@pjs232It's used to hide deficiencies. So can be positive and negative. It can benefit consoles. It shouldn't be necessary on PC.
I always turn off camera MB, any mid range/mediocre monitor or TV gives you enough motion blur, unless it's freaking TN.
You don’t understand the science and potential when done right. You just hear “motion blur” and foam at the mouth. They’ve explained it and broke it down in a video before. It’s your fault you haven’t educated yourself on the topic yet.
@@BusesAreFatCarsIt really isn't. MB has been implemented way before any temporal rendering tricks that break down on movement were common.
I'm just excited because it's the first ue5 game that's big that we can have full mod support. I'm very skilled with unreal engine 5 is I know a lot of people are and it could make for some crazy mods
3 Stalker Experts.... What's the name of it?.... Aaa Call of Chernobyl 🫨😐😐😐
Hey, DF, Alex is a huge fan of original Stalker games. So... Why there's still no comparison of PC and console versions yet?
@user-dq5pm1nk2h Whatever that means.
Yeah I'd love to see that
Um...because there is no console version of stalker?
@@Sneakyboson believe it or not there is
I love how « fans » can’t say Call of Pripyat lol.
That’s 2024 journalism 🤣 💩
Has DF ever done any videos on the previous Stalker games? They did some cool stuff back in the day in terms of graphics and lighting techniques.
Along with Space Marine 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is the game I'm most hyped about this year.
just so you know, Space Marine 2 is developed by Saber Interactive, a Russian company.
@@arsenii_yavorskyiso tax on it goes towards the war
Not being able to say the country Ukraine's name really says a lot about modern journalism.
Loved the original games... with mods!
The original games had many many bugs and framerate issues even on high-end pc's.
I'm not a fan of UE5, and certainly not for consoles.
I'm guessing this game will struggle for 30fps at pretty low native resolution.
For people who asked a lot, the studio was under war, and it is considered an achievement that they completed and polished the game with the help of Microsoft money.
@@lofi1598 What are you responding to?
The Niagara Vortex Tornado effect tanked the fps, which it tends to do when it's a native Niagara module doing the work of replicating the number of cloud particles to generate and do work with, instead of working with an openVDB to optimise it out for non-interactive playthrough of the emitter. I find that sloppy in a presentation video and if they used a 4k setup, they likely had a 4090 running it. I hope they don't release this too soon.
pls make a video comparison of stalker on consoles and on pc =)
I hope we get more true to life system requirements, than what was presented couple of years ago, before the release, would like to see DLSS or some other forms of upscaling because, knowing GSC i don't expect performance to be decent for a good 6 months or more and my only hope to play 50 to 60 fps with a 3070 is upscaling
Lossless scaling on steam is a good option if dlss or fsr isn't available at launch even tho it should be, you can get alot more fps with that program as it upscales whatever you're playing.
I hope so because there was one RUclipsr who claims he played it at the show and it looks visually nothing like the trailer. I am guessing it's a very old build they have there.
Let’s remember Stalker was and is at its core, a PC game. Doesn’t upset me one bit. Its games that are supposed to be console releases that are suped up on PC and don’t reflect the actual gameplay on console
Take me money. TAKE IT.
Characters seem fine to me.
“Get out of her stalker!” Stoked to see that game finally releasing. And Alex reviewing it. I am hyped.
Bad choice to release it on consoles
They mapped out all of chernobyl and pripyat but when the war started they had to go by pictures which made it harder and delayed things
I also played STALKER on my PC a long time ago. PS4/PS5 gamers should try out Chernobylite 😎
Trying the Stalker games on PS.
Id be happy with the original in unreal 5
Actually just played Metro exodus enhanced edition, because I wanted to play something similar to stalker 2 and it was very good and similar looking, I talk about this in my latest video about 35 upcoming games of 2024.
metro is super underrated, i think they have same devs.
@@GIOplaysGG its a different studio but metro was made by og stalker devs, so technically they share some devs.
Escape from Tarkov is somewhat similar
@@GIOplaysGG different game. I did not like the interaction at all.
@@GIOplaysGG Metro is done by stalker 1 devs, and it's on upgraded stalker 1 x-ray engine.
Imagine being a game dev working in a country under siege
I believe they moved most of their staff to Prague.
30fps on consoles. Watch. They can't handle UE5 well at all.
It’s mostly UE 4 game. You can expect whatever you want😅
@@Winams Look at the track record so far. Every UE5 powered game runs like ass on PS5/Series X. The Matrix demo struggled to run at like 18fps.
I would much rather have a mostly stable 30fps with decent visuals than a fluctuating 60fps that frequently falls out of the VRR range and is upscaled from sub 1080p resolutions.
@@Jumsut_ Sounds like a nightmare.
@BryceCzirr-jz7ju 30 fps isn't ideal, but it's arguablely preferable to image quality with less clarity than a botched oil painting.
imagine stalker 2 on series s 🤕
imagine it on the majority of gaming pc's...Lmao they're stoneage
@@vandammage1747 so true my pc would collapse at load screen 😆
@@daysgone2997 🤣🤣
On nintendo.
@user-dq5pm1nk2h STALKER 2 will have better graphics than Metro
Going to play this on PC max setting, can't wait.
Enjoy your 4fps on a 4090.
Unpopular opinion: Clear Sky was the best STALKER.
This game is gonna be butt
what is there a black stalker
stalker 1 had such characteristic graphics, but with the switch to ue5, i feel like s2 looks like every other ue5 shooter / game.
i know, the 4a engine wasn't perfect, but at least metro exodus looked true to the og stalker & metro games.
i'm not sayingn s2 looks bad on a technical level, it's just.. generic.
I just don’t get that take at all. The aesthetic feels exactly like the original Stalker trilogy to me, so far, anyway.
Wtf are you talking about?
The aesthetic is still the same as OG stalker
I don't see any UE5 that has the same aesthetic as stalker 2
In fact it's better now with more overgrown and desolation
@@astalkerfreedom567 no it's not, it has that overpolished and plasticky ue5 look, character faces and generally textures look like they're lubed up, there's no real contrast in the lighting anymore, colors are over the top and unrealistic, it looks soft, bland and sterile, if you can't see it you need to get some glasses.
PC master !
I haven't even pmayed the first game. Which sucks because I want to, but its stuck in PC.
Actually no, the original trilogy has recently been ported over to console. I believe it's still in a rough state though.
@@rafox66, I bought call of Pripyat. Less than 10 bugs in full playthrough (around 20 hrs), only two of which were more or less noticeable . But yeah, i’m also heard that game have some issues.
I've played all ported versions over here on series x. While there were a few hiccups no game breaking bugs on my end. More audio bugs if anything. I would get some popping or crackling through my headphones.
Stalker 2 looks to be a genuine next gen game...unlike whatever Hellblade 2 was.
At least stalker 2 will be a game, not a glorified walking simulator with 6 hour gameplay.
@@davidszep3488 honestly the whole series of hellblade was just a walking simulator lmao . Hellblade 1 was a boring walking simulator and hellblade 2 is the same but just looks better. Terrible series.
This game will be a mess at launch. I would hardly call it the “genuine next gen game.” Most of the previews from Summer Games Fest are pretty negative.
@@rafterman5072 uuuuh most of the previews were positive the only issue was bugs and its stalker lol. That is pure cope right there.
@@firescream2528 Well, I hope you’re right. I want the game to be good, btw. There isn’t a “cope” happening.
The game is meant to look absolutely nothing like the gameplay they've shown. It's said to be a mess.
The devs have explained why the game looks so bad compared to the gameplay shown. That being said, It just doesn't make sense to let people play an inferior version of your game.
Il be watching performance analysis as well as gameplay before i think about purchasing the games as reviews nowadays never tell it how it is, they always sugar coat it.
🤡😂
@@Winams
Those who have played the game have stated that it's a mess.
@@originalityisdead.9513 , if you say A, please say B then… Who?) Because IGN, gamespot, gamesradar and so on - liked it. Only one person, that I aware of was negative (but he’s opinion irrelevant)
@Winams
The game has had a massive downgrade in the visuals department, and the devs made some weird excuses as to why the game itself doesn't look as good as the gameplay they've shown.
It's not a good look when the demo available for those to play is far worse looking than the gameplay you put out at the very same show.
Also, trusting huge gaming sites to give you honest feedback is like trusting a thief not to steal.
Luke Stephens is the one who said the game was not all that impressive. There's also videos from a while back of people saying the same thing when they put out the first playable demo.
I've absolutely no doubt in my mind that people will blindly defend the game regardless of how bad it is.
@@originalityisdead.9513that was literally only luke stephens who said that, everyone else from the 15+ articles and comments from people who have played said it was great apart from some bugs. Luke Stephens on the other hand literally didn’t understand what an anomaly was so you should not be trusting him to give an accurate review lmao.
PS: people who played both the original demo and the new one also stated how much better it is visually and mechanically, so that’s also something to think about
The trailer was underwhelming tbh
Looks dope 🇺🇦🇺🇦
I’m new to the channel does @dachsjaeger have a youtube channel bc it’s a breath of fresh air to hear someone who knows what the og games feel like? Just wanting to sub to wait for his review on stalker
Most people who’ve talked about this game that I’ve seen don’t know stalker they don’t know what anomalies are or how intense the game can be
