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.
[Offtop] The post is not relevant to the topic under discussion.I want to replay the original game for a long time. Can you tell me the nicest and most stable mods? And then there are so many of them that you can drown in them)
2021? 
They sawed the first part for five years with a contract with thq, budget, support and still ended up with them coming from the west to finish a buggy semi-finished product in an oval mode.
Let them immediately throw the engine at the stalker soul, the modders will do everything right in a couple of years, file the content, optimize it and release it to the root tracker.

[Offtop] The post is not relevant to the topic under discussion.Unfortunately no. Not a fan myself. A couple of years ago, I just returned to the game and played the global mod indicated by me above. Lost alpha. He's cool in the main plot (new factions, original quests, bosses, helicopters, and even escape from a helicopter by car), but there is little content in the locations, which ultimately leads to the fact that in the end it gets boring to run around huge empty locations, where, in addition to anomalies / there are almost nothing monsters. But a year ago there was an update, and it seems to have gotten better with the content and the fast travel system. You have to sit and figure it out. Against the background of the hype with the announcement, I think I'll come back, I'll see what's there and how)
2021 is probably the release of the first gameplay in the form of a trailer
I already have fears that it will be a universal disappointment, something at the level of andromeda, only for the West does not give a shit, but in the CIS countries with Russia it will directly break

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?
[Offtop] The post is not relevant to the topic under discussion.The original games are fun in their own right. Apparently just not your type. For example, I don't like Metro very much. None of them went through to the end - these corridors of levels were annoying, although both the plot and the atmosphere were good.
In general, I would like something like the first Xenus, an open world, a good plot, a cool hero chapter, factions, pumping, huge freedom of movement (cars, planes, helicopters, boats and tanks). Yubisoft tried to do something similar in its series of edge headlights, but unfortunately it turned out more or less only in the 3rd part.
I will join the general pessimism, probably 
BUT I will still wait and believe, since I have replayed the original trilogy a million times and only positive emotions from it ...
They stupidly decided to play around 
By 2021, everyone will forget, and it will be possible not to release the game 
and the game publisher epic games or what? They have good money, but something completely different can come out of them.
Modified May 16, 2018 by WaterIt would be necessary to cut down the remasters on canosols and collect the dough, and then do part 2
3 years before the announcement. 
It takes a lot of money and talent to compete with the games of 2021-22, where to look? 3 years is still really optimistic, 22-23 is more likely. By that time, the games will be quite technologically advanced, as they are going to compete xs.
Really looking forward to one of my favorite franchises. In 2007 she made an indelible impression. The atmosphere unsurpassed by anyone, memes, all this cult is deserved. When I got to the hamag, I was very surprised that the series was openly hated.
Of course, I do not believe that they will be able to pull it up to the level of the Metro and similar projects, and an exit in 2021 is unlikely. Nevertheless, I will hope for a miracle 
I am waiting, although I do not consider myself a big fan of the series, "Call of Pripyat" did not pass at all, but I promise to improve.
Hopefully, the oak shooter component will be tightened up, the previously missing animations will be added to the weapon and the protagonist.
Although everything is decided by cadres, if Grigorovich gathers sensible modders under his wing, they will be able to cut a decent product for him, for example, these guys:
And if from scratch they will cut the game on their own and by their younger, unlucky brother, then bury it right away ...
It is nowhere else except the countries of the former cis that it is considered a cult, even a good game.
I remember the stalker only for the epic drama of 5000+ comments in the Nomad review on ag.

[Offtop] The post is not relevant to the topic under discussion.yeah, yeah ... Lost Alpha is a global modification of the game STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (independent of the original game), developed from 2007 to 2014 by the international English-speaking development team "Dez0wave Team"
