The game wasn't "delayed" from 2012. This was absolutely different game that was cancelled and the whole studio was layed off (but not closed), and around 2017-2018 they hired new pwople to develop new STALKER 2.
I think I’m out now. Another delay is just taking the piss. The game was to be due out 2 years ago and has been delayed over & over again. This is not fair as many people have already preordered the game and spent money on this. GSC need to either bring this game out soon or be honest with their customers about the state of their product.
personally, I do not have faith in the current GSC to put out a good STALKER game, faithful to the original games. there has been too many red flags. I will be waiting well after the game's launch and checking online, scrutinizing the gameplay, before paying any amount of money.
Waiting for it to come out is pretty fair in the gaming market these days. Luckily there is always gamepass so you can try the game for 15 bucks for a month. I am hoping what they have prepared for August is breathtaking, but only time will tell!
Guys, this is unethical. If we applaud every Gsc delay, this will be infinite. We must demand that they release the game or at least a demo for those who bought it.
They can't release any,because is buggy. The problem is not the delay,but the annoucement. Why announce a new game today to later delay it multiple times...oh wait,because gaming is not for fans is for shareholders,stock investors. Anyway,after cyberpunk 2077 launch disaster,noticed the trend of delaying games? nobody wants to play a broken game at launch.
I feel like a lot of games these days have overcame that. I do hope that stalker is as good as it can be for everyone coming into the zone for the first time.
@@lamikal2515 The thing about Duke Nukem Forever is that if it came out shortly after debuting the trailer, it would've been a success. Instead, they, or mostly one guy, kept wanting to restart the project in order to add things or upgrade to a new engine, which effectively ruined everything overtime because people left. Money was constantly wasted. Then eventually Gearbox got their hands on it to "finish" it. I don't consider STALKER 2 to be in the same boat simply because they seem to know what they want and are hellbent on the game coming out the best it can be. They haven't restarted development numerous times because they want to add in "cool" new shadow technology their engine couldn't pull off.
Absolutely. I get there is an active war for their country and most of them have/are participating in helping their friends family and selves survive. I also get shit happens and delays are needed, just sad it has been delayed yet again. But I am excited to see the stuff on the 12th, and fingers crossed the game this November.
It's good that they're taking the time to polish the game instead of pushing out a buggy/incomplete mess but I'd prefer them to just say they need an extra year if that's the case, rather than pushing it back by a few months over and over again.
okay now... lets not go that far lol. GSC does have a handful of games under their belt. It isn't a total cash-grab scam. This will have a lot more than some UE assets.
I do agree with you on a lot of aspects. I don't think this is a cash grab, this is the heart and passion of a dev team who is still working despite the world throwing everything possible at them.
I'm pissed. Game pass is such a waste. We now have to wait till October 20 for the next AAA release. I'm done. I'm not renewing Game Pass this month. It's just a waste of money.
Cancel it. I foresaw that this game will get delayed again. Why? Because their upcoming "2024" games are not even shown in the ms store. Avowed high chances for delay as well also indiana jones. It's xbox they always had a bad track record at releasing games since xbox one. I'm not even surprised anymore. Just watching them from the better side.
They were planning to release it but war broke out. They couldn't get things done than, made some plot changes, most likely, then removed the russian voiceover.
I hope that Microsoft will give GSC good stack of money for advertisement, because it seem like PR-period will star after 12 august. So, now i cant wait for this date.
@@VORASTRA For some reason UA-cam removed my comment, but I had said that: Because they are the main investors, they are the ones who decide when to release a game
bruh its just a tradition at this point they definitely gonna delay it until 2025 man we have been waiting for too long i know its gonna be buggy and they need to delay it to fix it but its not stalker without a lil bit of bugs thats part of its charm ill just keep waiting more i guess
Not surprised, one more short delay - here in Ukraine terrible war against russian invaders and marauders right now. After the russian invasion in 2022, the office was relocated from Kyiv to Prague, but a significant portion (almost half) of the developers remained in Ukraine for understandable reasons, especially the men. Some of the studio’s developers have died in the war 😢.
@@danieldaniel1210it’s ok. Pre order as 4 me is a way to support company you love. Otherwise, it is better to refrain from pre-ordering and only purchase the final product if everything is satisfactory.
the game is not gonna come out fully completed, because it is not something you really think it is. it is just another shallow unreal engine game. a couple of hours of gameplay, 20 hours long story and 6-7 hours of it is just cutscenes and pre-scripted voice actor scenes, the rest will be just same maps with different characters and new gameplay elements and that's it. The game is not gonna get a proper mod support like the X-Ray Engine. Learning to mod Unreal Engine is equal to learning how to make games. At max, we'll get new models and textures and that'll be it. No complex mods such as MISERY, CoC, Area, Anomaly and etc. There is a reason why they are delaying it. There is not a product. The gameplay reveal was soulless.
Good lord dude, do you hear yourself? Your judging the entire game based on what? a few gameplay trailers? And then you act as if there mind as well not be a game at all if it doesn't have mod support? First off, you not doing yourself any favors by jumping to dumb conclusions. In case you haven't noticed this is the stalker franchise we're talking about, not far cry, if you actually played the past stalker games you would know they're vastly different. And 2nd. This may come as a surprise to you, but a game doesn't need mod support to be good, we console players know this more than most. I've played the past stalker games and had good experiences with all of them, even clear sky to a certain degree. If you are this jaded and pessimistic about game development these days, then please stop playing them. Just because the game doesn't meet your standards doesn't mean it'll be bad.

@@2opmataron991 I was right about cyberpunk, skull and bones and starfield. Just a few. I see alot of red flags. This is a open world UE5 game with multiple delays that should run on a series s. Not difficult to see how this will turn out.
New Stalker (2024) game should be like third person shooter style (loot) maybe ,I mean we want third person view so we can see how beast character look like example like cloth shoes helmet, glove and weapons all this must have stat just like rpg (Diablo) right you can see right. One person view is not the best game like this. This is not CoD right. This game about survival, craft and base building.Very sad Stalker 2 is gonna be dissapointed because you guys can't see what character is wear right. Sorry my english guys 😅😊😊
Wtf this is not a freaking Diablo bruh but this is the Zone! No freaking third person is allowed in it!🤦🏼 The zone is logical .. explain how you can see yourself in 3rd person in real life?! You can't and realism and logic is what we the Zoners like! No freaking 3rd person! Go play some Fortnight instead kid/son! 🤨
