      @@boogerboy8707 Slug shells are NOT all blue. Is there any other reason you'd think that's a slug in the video?
      Shotgun shells are NOT consistently color coded by load outside of specific brands. I've shot black slugs and yellow slugs and green slugs, etc. The U.S. military uses olive-drab buckshot and dark-brown breaching slugs. Back in the day shells were either coded by gauge-- red for 12ga, yellow for 20ga-- or the specific brand was all just one color. Remington had green shells and Winchesters were red. The slug shells in all the other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are also red.

    • @HeyIamHunter
      @HeyIamHunter 5 місяців тому

      I would also add that in the games, the 12ga ammo is 12x70mm ammo, which would be called 12ga "2 3/4 inch" ammo in America. Neither style of shell is actually 70mm or 2.75in long until FIRED, whereas the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan-made wiki implies that the unfired shells are 70mm in length. Shotgun shells are the only kind of munitions that get LONGER when spent, which I think is really interesting! Hope this helps

      Simplistic UI is kinda mid since it's in every single game we see. I like how the old UI was very stylistically apocalyptic, worn, crusty, and scuffed, almost reminiscent of the first two Fallout games stylistically. I'm sure most game devs think that style is mostly outdated by now though which is why they resort to Skyrim UI part X like most games do these days.

    Yeah I also think Skiff might be some sort of contract mercenary, but not used to The Zone. Says he was on a "job" and got stuck there. How many jobs can a person have with the kind of weapon skills that Skiff has? Also, I love his nickname, "Skiff", it means a small rowboat, usually for one person. Skiffs are used to cross small bodies of water, like a river, or between bigger boats, pretty much like we are a passenger with Skiff as he crosses the threshold into The Zone. He's our vhicle.

    One of the unknown items in the inventory is a can of condensed milk. I know for sure because the design resembles a real-life brand popular in slavic counties. The logo depicts the happy boys face with a spoon of condensed milk :)
    It may even be that the design is 1 to 1 (sponsored), but not sure.
    The other item - maybe beer.

    The "I have got nowhere to return to" line, in my opinion, can also mean that the character did something that got him cast out from the stalker community. Maybe that murder that was discussed in one of the previous trailers with the stranger on the roof.

    Fantastic video, great analysis. I haven't had a chance to play the demo myself, but the descriptions really make me excited - something on par with the trilogy is all I want.
    22:25 - the description of the silencer from the original games mentions that they are "assembled by some of the Zone's craftsmen". Maybe the devs took this detail into account, and we will see actual handmade attachments.
    Also, interesting theory about the title. Who knows, maybe it will be the case. However, it's worth noting that Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat didn't have numbers in their titles simply because GSC didn't really treat them as full-fledged installments - they were created with the intention of being something like 'addons' to the original game. In a way, Heart of Chornobyl is the first proper new entry in the series, hence it's called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

    Another mind-blowingly detailed analysis. You never cease to amaze. The wait for this video has been worth it.
    It's interesting that you have a very favorable impression of the demo and trailer overall, contrary to many who talked very critically about it after gamescom. I wonder if this is because the new version of the demo has actually improved a lot, you simply happened to encounter less/no bugs by coincidence, or you simply have a more positive outlook on / different expectations of the game. In any case, I regard you as an authority in the realm of STALKER, so your verdict makes me very confident about the release.
    Now, I only hope GSC implements varied difficulty options so we can tune the game experience to our preferences. I'd love to be able to crank resource scarcity all the way up without having to wait for mods to do it.

    All i hope for is that STALKER 2 is as features and gameplay rich as Stalker Anomaly GAMMA mod pack. The Anomaly and the GAMMA pack has truly revitalized the Stalker games, in the best possible manner. And it's free! The GAMMA mod pack is the peak of all fps games I've ever played, which is saying a lot, as I've been playing these games from my early teens with the original DOOM in mid 90s. Nothing simply compares to the amazing gunplay, beautiful graphics, gameplay and survival mechanics in the GAMMA pack, and I truly hope STALKER 2 will have most of those features available at launch. If not, I hope they at least release the full SDK for modders very early, so the amazing mod community can get to work right away and create great mods for the game for us to enjoy it in our own ways.

    I think this new 'starter village' you reached for the end of the demo is what the modern Rookie Village looks like, and I think this whole new area you play in the Demo is actually the Cordon and what it looks like now. I think the start of the game will have a short tutorial showing how to use the weapons, we'll be on a mission from sirca to do something in chornobyl, and we'll encounter resistance from Monolith. However, we'll experience a bit of division. Half of Monolith is undecided on what to do, they'll fight, we get K'O'd, then we wake up in 'New Cordon' and have to do the same sort of stuff we do in the demo.
    The game looks super promising to me. I really appreciate the work they did to make all the characters drip personality and feel like real people. The changes to the UI feel like a nice touch of modernization, I love the 2 primary weapon loadout and I can't wait to see how the new mutants fight in-game. I hope the flesh are actually more trouble than they were before, can't wait to see mutant boars, cats, stags, and more!

  • @zloemaxcaulfield
    @zloemaxcaulfield 3 місяці тому

    Thanks for the interesting video, I learned a few new details for myself.
    Let me explain about the name. Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat are additional parts to Shadow of Chernobyl, so they are usually not numbered. Stalker 2 is positioned as a continuation of Shadow of Chernobyl.
    The dots in the word S.T.A.L.K.E.R. were used due to problems with copyright or brand registration (I don’t remember exactly). Most likely, the dots were left for a holistic perception of the names.
    Considering that, according to canon, Awareness was destroyed by Strelok and we even see a zombie installation in one of the trailers, there was no one and nothing to “zombify” Skif.
    The moment with the passage of the Skif pipe most likely occurs at the Cordon location, if we rely on materials from C2 2012.
    GSK presented Skif as an experienced stalker, but something really doesn’t add up

    This is so exciting! I hope the devs keep all the classic stuff from the original games like artefacts, mutants, factions, anomalies and ect. and to add triple the amount of content. Also would be cool if the hardest play through is playing as a zombified who have to rely entirely on disguise and have to complete all the factions quests with 1 ironman life + completing all the achievements from your rugged smartphone(futuristic PDA) + collecting 5 of each types of artefacts in the zone. Another idea is to play as Sin(Грех) faction and to have quest where you have to join group of controllers that will help you to get to a missing part of the broken monolith kristal that will be necessary for a Sin ritual that will connect Sins with the Noosphere and change it. And that to be one of the craziest quest in the zone cuz joining the crazy controllers side for a while always comes with the negative side effects for your mind. And if the devs are reading this I hope that if you decide to use any of my ideas please add a ester egg with my small logo or smile! ;} I also hope this damn war ends soon so we can start a new life in the zone with the top tier S.T.A.L.K.Y. 2 experience! ☢️

    Since the last bit of gameplay footage that's come out I've thought it just looks like Anomaly, with the exception of certain event animations or cutscenes. Maybe that's a testament to what the modding community has done with Anomaly for the past few years, or maybe my TV just isn't cutting it anymore.
    It looks fun though. I can't wait to completely ignore the multiplayer mode and explore the zone on my own.

    I just had a cool idea today while playing gamma
    imagine the devs change the chimera to be sort of like the bear from annihilation (the movie)?
    for you that watched it you'll know what i mean but for the rest basically giving it the ability to mimic sounds, including human screams and maybe even normal talking
    a step futher would be to make it into lore that chimeras while the apex predator of the zone arent that justb ecause of how strong they are but also because they posses human like intelligence
    meaning those mofo's know how to think strategically, when to engage and when to avoid
    they know that you havea weapon in your hands when you have one and they know that you might have tough armor when wearing an exosuit
    stuff like that

    Another excellent and well made video! Since is long and I like to watch something while eating, it will take me some days to watch the whole video, so maybe you answer some of my questions later in the video. But I am relieved to hear that the sequel is close to the OG game and possible a worthy successor! Is the only game I have pre-order and I haven't cancelled my pre-order, even when I heard some dissapointing opinions about the game from another stalker fan, back in Gamescom. For example about the AI, opponents did irrational things like look the sky, turn around a tree, something I am afraid about.
    How do find the AI? Does it make stupid things or is close to a traditional FPS?
    I don't give much attention to the graphics, I think youtube compressor underimines them, is that true? Does the game look better than from youtube? Did you had frame drops or stuttering?
    Do you think is nearly finished, it looks like a triple-A game or needs a lot of polish? Do you think it will be ready around 3 months from now? Hard to say though, even for the developers...!

      @anomalousdugout9557  5 місяців тому +4

      I did not see NPCs doing strange things, from my experience they acted a lot like in the previous games.
      Obviously the graphics from my video are way worse than the real game, because they were unfinished when they recorded the trailer and then it was compressed 3 times (when GSC made the trailer, when I downloaded it and when I rendered my video). The demo looked great and ran perfectly.
      I believe the game is nearly finished, they are in the polishing phase right now so I think the Q1 2024 release window is real.
