S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

[Konjad]

Some new screenshots, doesn't look not bad at all I'd say

All of these tech-artworks are months old at least

Looks like...

I know I won't be for awhile. This game looks like it'll make my 2070 burn up. Maybe when the next gen GPUs come out I can snag a 3080 for cheaper or something. Eh, then again, I'll probably realize "hey, I got more VRAM now, maybe Stabe Diffusion will let me do generation...and upscaling in one process! Yay!"

 

[Perkel]

You will probably need beefy PC to play it. I guess just like original back in the day. I struggle to remember what i had back then but i remember how it run like shit...

god damn it. While thinking about this i thought about voodoo2 i had and i was wondering if it could run on modern system.

Turns out it can:

You can play anything on anything, it's just a question of resolution and details.

With my 5700XT (2070 Super equivalent) I could play UE5 games like Lords of the Fallen and Remnant 2 at 1440p on High/Medium, at around 60-80 FPS.

Unless you insist on playing on 4K, which is extemely retarded, you don't need to pay 5000 bucks for a new computer.

Unless you play stuff at 4k@120Hz at maxxed out details, it isn't worth playing it at all.
Also, fuck graphics whores, hardware companies and developers pandering to them.

That MAC-10 looks positively gangsta - I wonder if the devs add some gangbanging niggaz to go along with it.

That's true. I get about that at 1440p on CP2077 with the 2070 (non-super) and an i3 12100f. Mixture of settings avg ~60-85 FPS. No DLSS or FSR. Actually, the one I was really floored with was Kingdom Come. Could run that one full-on high/some ultra on everything at 1440p and get a consistent 85 everywhere (Rattay slogged a little at night). You ever play that one? That was a real gem to go through.

Might as well post the message.

Dear stalkers,Last year, during Gamescom 2023, we finally had the chance to meet in person. We gathered around the campfire with you to share something valuable that we have been creating for you for all these years — a small part of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Publicly, for the first time ever. Our one-time initiative then transformed into a journey from campfire to campfire across France, Brazil, Singapore and other countries. Thousands of players were able to play the game themselves and give us the much-needed feedback afterwards. And as true friends always do, you shared your honest thoughts about the game. Both positive and negative, and we are thankful for that. From your insights, we figured out two key points: the one to celebrate and the one to consider seriously. The first one: the Zone remains the Zone. In its true beauty and after our likeness. The game absolutely feels and plays like S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the atmosphere, hardcore style, harsh and unwelcoming environment are ready to cook, and we can’t be more grateful for these words, as they basically sum up both the key intention and the main inspiration for the project from the very beginning at the same time. The second one was: the gear in the backpack should be checked one more time to be completely sure it will not fail us in the most needed moment. On the technical side of things — the game needs more time.Throughout the frankly challenging development process, we understood the time was of the team's main essence. Seeing the scope of polishing and understanding that we can’t push your patience too much, we were absolutely dedicated to releasing the game in Q1 2024, and we worked extra hard to meet the release window.That, however, doesn’t change the fact that at the beginning of this year, we still witnessed the certain amount of technical imperfections that hold S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 below the expected standards for the final experience our fans are waiting for. While there is absolutely no way to make another delay sound less dim, we decided to be clear about our reasons to postpone the game for the sake of yet another wave of polishing.The final release date for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is now September 5, 2024.We know that you are waiting for this moment, as well as we do. But the preparation needs to be done so that the journey into the Zone goes smoothly and as planned. Thanks for your patience and continuous support, and be ready to see a lot of info about the game further this year.

8 more months.

Well it's a good thing then I bought like 30 fucking games during the holiday sales.

Duke Nukem Forever began development under 3D Realms and underwent a severely protracted development that lasted more than 14 years.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was initially announced in 2010

Weren't they on Cossack 3 at the time? It's like the TES6 trailer showcased only to satisfy the fans.

 

[deuxhero]

No, S2 was in development just restarted multiple times for various reasons and Cossack 3 was done in the middle of one of theses restarts

Why? Most of us are pretty rich.

 

[United Nations]

Not bad news for me at all.

My current PC is 9YO and I want to wait for both Windows 12 and Intel Arrow Lake to build a new one.

 

[Gerrard]

Wasn't there a tweet where they literally claimed the game will come out in 2023?

E:

 

[Gargaune]

Needs proper Stalker atmosphere.
It looks good, sharp, but lacks that radioactive greyness and moroseneness of original Stalker.

Was thinking exactly that, looks fantastic, but it needs just a bit more grey to nail that STALKER vibe.

 

[Tacgnol]

Coming soon, complete with lazy photoshop job:

 

[PsihoKekec]

Didn't they declare that the game will be released after they win the war against Russians?

Then it'll never happen

I'll believe it when I see it (aka never).

Also, "multiplayer post launch" - so multiplayer will be shit made just so they can say it's there. Thanks for confirmation, assholes. I was actually hoping in this day and age there would be a decent multiplayer, but it seems not. Shame. I hope SP won't suck at least.
