The first one did not catch on, but I still cannot believe that the second part was announced.
Happy for the fans. They have a big holiday today. Red calendar day.
Grigorovich looks at the hype on the announcement of rage 2 and is like this: "I didn't understand, but what, it was possible ?! Well, then we will release a sequel" and ran to the fb post to cut it.

Release date: 2021 (?)
quite normal, there will be something to play in the year before the release of cyberpunk 2077 and death stranding.
but in general, I'm glad. I hope the sequel will return everything for which we fell in love with the original game with addons: incredibly smart AI, highly intelligent humor, deeply philosophical unpredictable plot, advanced RPG elements, tactical shooting, overall stunning lickiness of the game and its impeccable optimization.

well, it goes without saying. there will still be blacks and minorities.
in fact, I know for sure that all these traits will converge in at least one character that the player will meet at the start of the game, he is the African-American transgender trader Boyegovna.
taking into account current trends and aiming at future requirements, the developers also plan to include pedophiles, fascists and representatives of all religions of the world in the game.

presumably, you are wrong with the topic, you need a thread on metroid prime 4.
and stalker 2 was announced by a post on facebook.
Even if there is nothing to show, then 2021 is already a very optimistic date.
Do they have enough budget and talent to master such a project?
Their last game and the only one in many years is a very budgetary remake of the Cossacks.
Why were you so dragged along from the first part? I still do not understand .. Well, besides the fact that this is about the post-Soviet space and in general a game from "ours"? I still remember that the quality of the project was very weak. Over time, I did not return to him already. Did the game live at the expense of the fans in the end?

the first part evokes pretty happy memories and these years of waiting before the release. If only watered is not brought into the game. context.

Yomayo, where is the connection between female character models and transgender Nazi pedophiles? No, if the thought of a couple of titties in a gas mask immediately destroys the emotional atmosphere of the Chernobyl sausage party and this is what causes such a violent reaction - then sorry, of course, this can be understood.
Well xs, then 11 years ago the games weren't that fancy yet, but with his budget and against the backdrop of some tlow 2, how will his game look like? At least at the level of the last metro? And who makes it if those people have been in other offices for a long time?

The atmosphere, a good plot for a shooter, the original world, quests and the search for artifacts were brought to mind in DLS. And the game is more alive than all living things, a lot of mods. And I think, from the best mods it would be possible to collect STalker 2))) Somehow Ganslinger mod offers hand animations with quality almost like in Tarkov, all sorts of fashion for the living world and emission effects, and so on and so on. What's funny is that even foreigners made their own mods and one of the most ambitious mods (they added locations, expanded their zones, added pumping, cut scenes, shoveled the plot) was made by them.
Even no announcement, 3 years before the release (huh, multiply by 3 more) just a picture
well, GSC in recent years only curves Cossacks 3 released
there is almost no faith in them
As for me, a new Stalker just needs a team of professional developers. To have high-quality sound, music, textures, graphics, physics. And the project itself to be stable.
The most successful concepts that are quite realistic to recreate are the concept of the original Call of Pripyat with interesting quests or the concept of the Call of Chernobyl mod (based on the Call of Pripyat).

Well, I just realized that only with the hands of fans and mods the game was turned into something worthwhile. And where is the merit of GSC? In addition to the fact that at one time, boldly hypanuli at the announcement of the game with rollers with a prerender and then postponed the game for several years
