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

[NecroLord]

Honestly think that every studio using Unreal is a massive gaming decline, means every game is the fucking same slop *drag and drop AI/physics/anim/whatever to NPC*. All this because companies can't hire developers skilled enough to learn and master a new tool, and or develop lower level functionality for their games.

Getting absolutely sick of the Unreal Engine.

But will it be a classic in 10 years?

1 minute and Skillup is already showing random freezes and lag.
3:38 ''I cannot boot this game in one my pcs, when I try to do so it just crashes''
''I was able to get it working on a 4090''
''I was able to settle at 40 fps''
''After enabling performance DLSS I was able to settle on almost 60 fps''
Unreal Engine and it's consequences have been a disaster for gaming.

Unreal Engine and it's consequences have been a disaster for gaming.

I blame the devs for being too lazy to learn how the engine works to squeeze out maximum performance. Instead we have the opposite where modern hardware is so powerful that devs don't even need to spend time optimizing games. It's just sloppy.

 

[Drakortha]

In the comments they're calling it Eurojank like it's a good thing. Gamers really have become a pathetic breed.

Morgoth Do you have something to say faggot?

Hopefully this won't be as broken as Redfall on release.

 

[Rahdulan]

Oh boy. To live in a world where "cratering to 30FPS" is a serious concern.

Stalker fans are a lot like FNV fans.. ie. insufferable cunts. The original Stalkers were never good, and have only gotten worse with time. Anomaly still remains the best Stalker experience and Stalker 2, simply by virtue of having a voiced protagonist, is unlikely to change that.

 

[Stavrophore]

You think this could be patched in next month? I also reckon they might drop the price[because of initial reception] if i fancy to actually pay them.

English VO is terrible lol.

History revisionism

I was watching CohhCarnage stream it, so he is running the game on max settings + the capture software, and it seemed to run great. He made comments about how well it runs. So I guess it depends on the system.

Anyways, /v/ is mad about this

I'm guessing its about the anti-cheat system, which would fall under some definitions of a virus? Or some novel DRM protection?

More like: previous tricks that every dev used to simulate videogame effects like mirrors, reflections, shadows and all of that have been replaced by a ''real'' way of simulating said effects, multiplying exponentially how much hardware is needed. Ray tracing is specially gpu intensive.
This is a side effect of every game being open world now, it would take an astronomical amount of time to do everything manually when you have to fill up a country-sized map so why bother?
The amount of time and effort it takes to develop these things is starting to harshly outpace how much time people and publishers are willing to wait for it to be done.

Both the original STALKER games, and FNV, are good. They haven't gotten worse with time, as their design is inherently good,d espite their dated tech. Both would perform very well and capture new fans if they got a proper remake.

Well, we will know for sure soon.

 

[Gargaune]

Man, that sounds like a raw deal. I'm not so much worried about the bugs and balance, I'm sure they'll get fixed even if it takes a while, but the performance might put it out of my league. If a 13900 & RTX 4900 can't hold 60 FPS with DLSS Performance, I just don't know how much GSC could improve that I could enjoy those tasty visuals on my hardware.


P.S. The reviewer sounds like he's never played Shadow of Chernobyl and suggesting that a STALKER game should remove Encumbrance ought to carry a penalty of 40 hours' community service.

 

[duke nukem]

No wonder there was no preload for this game. It had day1 patch that is basically size of the game. Far as i know reviewers dont have it, for example digital foundry delayed the review to see the patch experience.

I cant wait to see how this runs and looks with my gtx 1070. Probably blurry mess like other modern games like starfield.

 

[AlwaysBrotoMen]

Looks like it is broken beyond belief. All you codexers can suck stalkers ASS.

I was right about it being 6/10 game, now give me updoods codexers.

Cohh has a monster PC, best money can buy.

Performance probably will be improved with time. Alan Wake 2 run like shit but after some patches it suddenly became a smooth breeze. Or at least as far as I read on the internet, it's not a good idea to play that turd regardless of performance.

Anyway, just wait and see if there are some tangible fixes in 3 months or so.
