S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Stalker) Thread

Im assuming they'll also upload one for each game, trailer I mean.

EDIT: The game will be a separate download from the OG's, and will be free to the people that already have it, buying the enchanced version of the games will also give you the OG version.

So what's "upgraded" exactly? Will they make SoC run at 20fps with DLSS compared to smooth hundreds? minus stutters from xray assset loading or whatever is causing it
 
Never mind Steam workshop will be mega-cucked
Yea, what did you expect? Stalker isn't condusive to have a modlist, stacking mods is going to break your stalker install, if they allowed people to change configs retards would install 2 mods and completely break their game, then go cry and bawl to the support team. It's less of a inability to being able to make mods, and more of peace of mind, because after needing to help people install and troubleshoot mods for over a decade you realise drag and dropping files and basic troubleshooting is a step too far for the common human mind.
:lossmanjack:The world has been mindfucked by modlists, download now buttons and mod loaders, it's so genuinely fucked.

The good news is that now you can profile people for being gatekpt, if he has mods subscribed in his steam workshop, that means he's cattle.
So what's "upgraded" exactly?
Everything in the Legends of the Zone update for consoles, plus upscaled textures, trophies and achivements, gamepad support, select graphical improvements to renderers, changed UI, QOL fixes, and bug fixes.
This is what I read on the FAQ, what you can expect is a update to console versions of Legends of the Zone, now on PC with options for you to play with, meaning, they have a botched x64 engine conversion that Mataboo shoe-horned in along with it.

Allowing scripts will never work unless you have some ultra-autistic user managing and fixing compatibility issues in a modlist that normies can just download and play.

The average player won't bother learning how to open scripts and troubleshoot them on their own.
 
I'm actually pretty hyped for the enhanced versions of the original STALKER games. I saw the trailers. It looks better than STALKER 2. I guess the $110 I gave to GSC paid off after all.

From what I have read in the comments under the trailers if you own the original STALKER games you will get the enhanced versions as a free update. You will also get the original versions of the games if you buy the enhanced versions. That way you can play whichever version you want.
 
Nothing like a good old cash-grab to reel in the new audience. Giving it free to OG trilogy owners is nice, sure, but let’s not kid ourselves. This is about salvaging some of STALKER 2’s mess by jumping on the remaster bandwagon while the brand is still floating in people’s minds. The goal’s clear: get newcomers to pay for what modders have been doing better for years.

To be fair STALKER SOC is a mess on PC. It needs to be fixed to run on systems with modern 16:9 resolutions. You also need mods to fix other issues. If they fixed the games up and made them easy and simple to get running that's a good thing. V sync has been broken in all the STALKER games for over a decade now. It's either put up with screen tearing while playing the game or find some other way to stop it. I usually just enabled the v synch option in the Nvidia control panel.

That's what I'm looking forward to the most. The game itself is great but updating it to run better and to have quality of life additions like borderless fullscreen will be very appreciated.

I want to see what they did with the games graphics. I am guessing the cutscenes have probably been AI upscaled. I am hoping they fixed some of the bugs and technical issues with the games. I don't have to download and install community fixes and tweak ini settings.
 
GSC kept Russian text localization but removed voice acting? That's really retarded.

I wonder if the remaster will be available for Russians who previously bought all 3 games before they became unavailable for purchase.

"S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition will be available in the same regions as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl."

In your opinion, Is Stalker 2 patched and fixed or should I wait a little longer before buying?

I've seen and heard arguments for both sides so, I'm unsure if It's still buggy or at least now is playable and enjoyable.

Wait longer. Performance improves and lots of bugs are fixed with every patch but is still shit, and the content itself needs a lot more additions. You're still going to get a lot more out of the originals and their mods.

Gameplay wise, does it play like any of the Stalker games? from the videos I've seen, combat looks a little wonky, and A-Life doesn't seem to be working.

It's wonky Unreal Engine 5 jank. OG Stalker and the mods had better gameplay and the engine felt a lot better to play.
 
Looks interesting, has the english translation already there, will give a try later, unfortunatly they are fags and you need to enter their discord server for the links, therefore here are the links.

I assume you know how to download and install a standalone mod.
