S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 getting teased with a screenshot and a message

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 getting teased with a screenshot and a message

GSC GameWorld released a first official screenshot for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. The game will be using UE4, and this screenshot will give you an idea of the graphics/visuals it shall represent.

The screenshot was released on Twitter with almost no explanation. In a follow-up message, the Ukrainian developer said it was sharing the screenshot as a special treat to those heading into quarantine in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

 "A lot of you are joining social isolation now," read an accompanying message on the official STALKER Twitter feed, "That's why today, on a very special occasion, we are ready to slightly uncover the mystery of what we are working on. This is the first glimpse of STALKER 2."

"Being inspired by everything you do (including arts, stories, cosplays and mods), we fully understand we can’t let you down," the post reads. "The second chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga will be our most ambitious game so far. It will live to the legendary legacy. A lot of you are joining social isolation now. That’s why today, on a very special occasion, we are ready to slightly uncover the mystery of what we are working on."

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games were little rough to play, but I think this was at least partly intentional. They are not games where you high jump to cover, but take a careful approach instead and move slow with heavy equipment. I really liked every Stalker game, they just ran badly often times, but Unreal Engine 4 should be easy enough to utilize, so I expect better performance this time. Unreal Engine 4 is most likely the best choice given the vast games made already with it, that might load just a sec or two occasionally, but that means nothing given the visual quality. I will not get my hopes too high about the upcoming game though, since anything can happen in the industry today, but I certainly wish this game will eventually be released and tell something concerning the nuclear accident. That said, the story doesn't absolutely have to relate to that very accident, any other catastrophe would fit as well, since I think it's not defined what exactly makes Stalker game a Stalker game. For me, essentially it's the general area at eastern Europe, a scandal, anomalies, mystery and loneliness.

Also important to remember is that the Stalker games where graphically way more advanced than majority of games at the time. Sure, they weren't technically the full package like Crysis, but certain areas like shadows were just so good you missed them years after. Most often, successful games are part of technical innovation, which in the case of Stalker games were indeed the vast "levels" with the NPCs and graphics, that really enchanced the mood in a drastic way. Is Stalker 2 going to break any poundaries or just focus on the story part? We don't know, but it's fun to imagine what would be something technically advanced that could be used in a game like Stalker.

Played the absolutely snot out of all 3 stalker games. Loved every minute of it, even down to the random lua crashes when they did happen - which helped me understand lua enough to fix it, or work around it. I didn't care, they were some of the most immersive games of all time. It was the atmosphere, few games got that right as well as Stalker series did.
Single-player Stalker 2 with no online requirement or Denuvo? You've got my money on that. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD ATMOSPHERE, it made Stalker stand out, even today yet it's good.
We have metered satellite internet here in the boonies, it works when it wants to... so I can't do multiplayer or games that require 'always online connection' to work like Simcity 2013 wanted (gave that one a pass).
Just make sure to let the Cheki Breki guys beat up the guy who says 'get out of here Stalker!' before you publish the first betas...we don't miss him much.
