STALKER 2 - September 5th, 2024

Character models look fantastic. I can't wait to see some gameplay.

Preload up, and via app


Check out S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl Xbox Edition on Xbox Game Pass!
 
So looking on the pre-order page on the XSX... I noticed this will have a competitive MP mode.

This game is now in my top 5 most wanted.

hadn’t noticed that. Did the original have competitive mode? I don’t remember. Could work really well in a game like this. I’m thinking they’ll go somewhere like the Last of Us did with the multi player
 
That's huge. But if it's going to be open like the previous games, then I am ok with it.
 


100 hours?
Playstation and Xbox exclusives am cry.

64Km², fully explorable
Closer to what the devs wanted to do with Shadow of Chernobyl because the tech is there now
The Zone has evolved, time has passed, structures have crumbled etc ...
The wildlife has mutated too, like you're not going to hunt a deer in easy mode ala Far Cry style because that random mutant deer will f*** you up
The anomalies are back, same as before but more dangerous and varied
The equipment can be damaged or destroyed by certain conditions (such as crossing a field of anomalies -that's always a bad idea-)
Same health system but more complete, side effects due to lack of food (e.g. more difficulty aiming with your weapon)
A day without sleep and you will begin to feel the effects of fatigue (reduced vision, weak stamina and even hallucinations)
Each side effect will have a (temporary) solution for example: drinking cans of energy drink
But it will be temporary, sooner or later the effects will be too violent and s*** will happen
They count on 100 hours of gameplay, but you wont be able to see everything the game has to offer in one run
Multiplayer with PvP, DM, TDM after release but no co-op because the game is very story-driven
They are very proud of their scenario, more than 30 narrative designers dedicated to the plot and quests with different choices and outcomes.
