The office scene is OBVIOUSLY from outside the zone, we might see what is happening in the world and how people is reacting to what happened after the events of the trilogy
a clean room with a guy in a jacket, that's SIRCAA. This building was planned back in 2012. And in Stalker 2 it is located on the edge of the map, where the Zone ends.
I disagree. From the end of CoP we know that Strelok left the Zone and his information helped form a new research institute - SIRCAA- From previous trailers we know that the Zone has been very stable for a long time now and that SIRCAA and the Ward basically have it all under control at the start of the game. Korshunov is the leader of the Ward, who are a state-sponsored or even internationally sponsored organization that police the Zone, hence the modern and clean armor. The stability of the Zone can also account for more regular or traditional stalkers having better gear than in the original games. And the scene with Dalin obviously takes place at a SIRCAA facility built sometime after 2012 outside or on the outskirts of the Zone. Honestly in the previous games it was more of a surprise that the international community wasn't all over the Zone with its shiniest gadgets, hermetically sealing it off from all outside interference.
Yeah i don't remember i saw this in the leaked content but for example lab x16 is now a research facility for scientist ( maybe sakharov's team) in the leaks we saw scientists studying the big brain in it. Stalker may establish camps further to the north of the zone like pripyat
Between Ex-Monolithians and Agents Smiths the zone has changed a lot.
But the facial animations in this trailer were 11/10, never seen any this good.
I think a key thing is that the "Zone" is its own place that is cordoned off from the rest of the world. The outside world still exists, and the forces behind the C-Consciousness are people of extreme power. Outside factions are getting more involved in the zone. I think theyre delving more into outside forces this time instead of just existing in the zone. At least, thats what im thinking theyre doing!
There was supposed to be an institute involved in the Zone now, which is most likely that futuristic building.
It just feels like some people don't know STALKER is not your usual postapo, normal world outside EXISTS.
If there is some organization with enough power and influence, they could build whatever they would want inside the Zone.
Checked enter the zone trailer, and it's pretty much confirmed it's SIRCAA institute, "most advanced institution in history" at that.
Obviously, it would stick out like a sore thumb within the Zone.
There should be less stalkers and less factions in Stalker 2. The Military should control the majority of the Zone. By the time of Call of Pripyat, the zone was already declining. There were only a few stalker remained, the veterans either left the zone or died in the zone. The artifacts were no longer common, the mercenaries were all over the place. They should either focus on the declining of the Zone and Stalkerism, or create alternatives where the Zone is actually connected to a different timeline and places where its beyond the normal timeline Factions shouldn't be a thing, it should be small stalker groups and gangs. But I don't believe that's the GSC's true intentions. They intend to turn the franchise into a Fallout like brand.
I advise you to play the original games instead of reading posts about Stalker.
OH BOY, this is a sinking ship here but to possibly save you all the trouble at the very least.
C C C CLEAN! I am not questioning the fact there is a 'clean in the physical sense of clean, work environment in the game. Yes I know about the SIRCAA, yes people in science ideally work in a physically clean environment, yes that makes sense.
When I say clean I mean the 'lack of detail' showcased here compared to other pieces.
Screenshot below for if ya all bored enough and want to go further.
The entire background with where the scientist are lack shading, they lack depth in every article of their clothing, they lack detail, it is too smoothed up and gradient it looks plain and 'clean'. More so the background behind the scientists themselves. It looks and feels very flat. You can have clean environment that actually gives devil and depth to the details.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk
The scene she was complaining about could be a flash back to an event leading up to the disaster or something. Or a secret facility that is basically unaffected. Without knowing the context it's too soon to judge.
I watched that Most Wanted presentation and thought of you when this game got “most anticipated”.
I would assume the Dalin scene doesn't take place in the Zone proper, or in a government/corporate facility on the outskirts that is shiny and clean. As nesnush points out, the rest of the world still exists, and your character may not spend every second in the Zone itself- or it could be an opening scene before you get sent in, or a flashback, or anything at all.
It's also possible they just haven't done a final pass on the textures and surfaces, who knows?
The facial animations are, indeed, next level tho.
This location is on the edge of the Zone. This is НДІЧАЗ - Scientific Research Institute of the Chernobyl Anomalous Zone
Damn, how great it is to see the fairway operation from the eyes of the monolith
I think it's supposed to be a flashback to "Operation Monolith" at the end of Shadow of Chernobyl and we see Striders perspective when he was still brainwashed
4:30 DUDE I REMEMBER THAT SCENE IT HAPPENS JUST AFTER YOU DISABLE THE BRAIN SCORCHER AND THE HELICOPTER COMES OUT, OHHHHHHHHHH
Also, on the office scene i feel like it would look good and make sense only if it happens outside the zone, i really hope it does since it could mean that the game will probably give us some insight on the relationship the goverment has with the zone, in the original triology we only know that the military is ukranian but other than that, not much, but it would really be a tonal disconnect if it is inside the zone, more taking on account that even if it is in a scientist bunker those dont really look very polished either.
Instead of the Ukrainian military, there will be UN forces in the game.
My understanding is that not the entire game takes place in the zone. And the CERN area is essentially a top of the line research institute outside of the zone. Hence the jarriing art style
So from the bits in the Trailer, I think something happened to one of Strider's friends, And its connected to the Main Character, Eventually strider found out. And is now holding it against them.
their armor looks new and while maintences and new supply lines could bring in new gear allowing you to get nice looking equipment but ya its lacking the wear and tear you would expect from the stalker universe and mainly the wasteland/zone
Because the Zone has been stable for years and SIRCAA and Ward have a pretty good grip on it before / at the start of the game, as per previous trailers and info from the devs. So it is no surprise really that people generally have better gear.
Love the passion put into this review. I agree, I really need all the context about the office scene, it is quite weird.
I largely don't understand the point of the dirtiness argument,it is very clear that the scientists scene,where the suit guy is in,is a clear juxtaposition from the zone and may even be taking place outside of it or in a point of great control,as well as the *smoothness* of the character,this is good,since cleanliness is a tell of how well kept and organized a person and a faction is,the bandits would make sense to be grungier but a well uniformed and orderly faction like,let's say,duty,would keep themselves clean,ESPECIALLY if we are talking in spaces of heavy stalker presence and settling,like the bar,the bar would be the cleanest place since its the place most stalkers.
Let me bring the argument a bit deeper if ya got the time for it and force on smaller but to me, important details. Also the word clean needs to be taken both in a literal sense of, and not. This is where the disconnect is, yes obviously the scientists are in a 'clean' place, but no place is perfect unless in an Instangram photo. Notice how much contrast they push into the scene to where you lose an awful lot of detail. There are no details in the shadows it is just black. I seriously urge you to pause on the scene where you can see the scientist in the back and tell me they put real detail into that compared to others, even where they do not have overshadowing, there is a serious lack of depth. Does it really look like the shading and lighting are done correctly?There is no depth to what the scientists are wearing, there is no depth to the control board they are working with or the lighting above them or their background. It looks painfully lacking. Better yet look at the LEGS of the scientists.
Even the close up details (back to the suit) are lacking. You can roll over a black suit with a lint roller a million times over and as your day goes on fibers will collect on your clothing, hairs, skin follicles from a persons face or neck. They literally took this entire scene, used the de grained it, stamp tooled and blemish corrected the shit out of it, then threw on a contrast filter over it to give it a sense of something.
ANYWAY, thank you for listening to my TED talk.
You can find fault with everything, although I, as a fan since 2007, have not noticed a problem with this, and the reminder about half-life only makes this game better :))@@WTFSexyHeadphones
This trailer was so good! I cant wait for the game.
I have no idea about streaming, but i'll start with it for stalker 2 in costume :P
As long as the game retains it's mechanics and gets a larger map, it's all good.
I hope the game doesn't fly too high. I want more of the fighting for the control of the garbage, rather than for the fate of humankind.
Damn you are right in there. keeping the finger on the pulse of STALKER xD holy smokes xD
I hope the wait will be worth it.
I read somewhere that there were plans to have a talking fleshpig who was a mission-giver in an old version of the first game, but it never got implemented. Imagine a mission-giving talking fleshy piggy fleshpig in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2! Or a gameplay mode that lets you play as a fleshpig!
Yeah, we totally understand you how the graphics and overall style is unbalanced, a bit corny in a way of a compilation of assembled assets in a scene rather than an artistic scene art like land, plants, ghosts of the past like broken old things and buildings and walls.
Skif being an ex-monolithian is a game changer. Inclusion of a laboratory from the trailer too. This gives a hint that the story will be tightly knit with the Zone, it's functioning and it's future together with the monolith group. I believe that "noosphere" is not something that can be reached from anywhere on Earth, I still want to believe that the Monolith is a real thing and not some C-con's trick or great distraction from the Generators and the labs. The Monolith could be a physical thing that messes up the "gravity" for "noosphere" that makes it go wild. And this twist truly allows the monolith group to become even more righteous and fundamentally important in the lore, they'd become the guardians of the Wish Granter for the sake of all humanity. Still, cannot think of a solution for the Zone existence, one russian stalker book series vividly mentions of a path of a "great fight" in some parallel realities so the Zone stops expanding.
The guy wearing fresh gear looks like he belongs to new Ward faction, judging his gear design.
If they're connected to SIRCAA institute, they could be just getting brand-new gear from the outside world, while others have to come by with more used up stuff.
I'm ready to be disappointed. (I really hope I'm not)
Well shit.. you are alive..
I think the office part isnt an awful addition, the world cant be all destroyed, there will be someone in an office in control of some stuff that are happening at some point so it can be a good thing.
Yeah. Outside zone is normal functioning life as now. There can be parts of zone, when nothing happen and there are no anomalies there. Also, SIRCA will definitely be in part of zone, where there is no danger, like at edge of zone. So they can ve often supplied with stuff and ppl. Also, it has to be godly funded, so clean enviroment and clothes without wearines should be normal.
For the office scene and the dude in the 2 piece
My best guess that he is a Ukrainian fed outside of the Zone(the place where you meet him)
Or, within the Zone, there is a FED npc that just can't disconnect from cleanness
maybe flash back from outside the zone....the clinical clean part, that is.
I don't know how else to contact you. Have you heard about the new Vodka Distilled at Chernobyl? it's called ATOMIK vodka.
8:38 my answer is yes lol
There is a new Godzilla movie?
Well, I'd imagine a high-tech Modern day Greatly Advanced Institution that deals with the Zone to look very sci-fi and be clean lol.
The point has been missed with you my friend.
@@WTFSexyHeadphones How? You directly mention how you don't like that "It's too clean, too smooth". Then you bring up contrast, like.. Are we just forgetting that in the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., things outside the Zone are normal?
Sorry, I will admit I am not the most solid individual at putting thoughts into text. @@SpartanMozi
I am going to offer a screenshot I find that helps, you may click it if ya like, or not. imgur.com/a/eYAU8hL
So what I was meaning by clean and smooth is you see the lack of shading and detail in the clothing? You can certainly have a physically clean environment and lab with perfect equipment, state of the art brand new and that is totally fine, zero issues there at all with a scene like that at all! Would be a jarring change and an interesting one from what we had which is cool.
I know talked ya eyes off here but I'll leave ya with a final nice piece of info from a fellow vet which puts my entire speil to rest anyway!
That in the def roadmap there are certain graphical details and polish that is not set to be implemented until January.
Okay that my TED talk. :)
@@WTFSexyHeadphones Looks fine to me, but I get you. I enjoyed the video nonetheless, good work.
Seems to me, they're changing the narrative.
Agree with the flat texture on the duty leader scene.. The monolith armor looks pretty good though..
And as far as the fancy office goes.. I personally feel like it might be a scene from the beginning of the game and the story why you're being sent in.. Because from the start they have put emphasis on the trucks and going into the zone now... Also the story clicks together then.. You're sent in to undo what strelok did and recreate it.. I feel like that's where this is steering to.. Based on all the trailers and hints so far. But in the end.. I guess you'll have a choice to do what the suits ask you... Or side with the dark stalker guy with the poofy hair :D
Or maybe I've just gone mad with the waiting :D
that`s because there are no any pouches and other attachments on it, his armor is not prepared to the battle.
where are you my best
факен гуд
the building textures make sense for science people or maybe the people are rebuilding compands and buildings you gotta remember people rebuild pretty quickly so while the zone we know might not be the best world but the living areas would always adapt to make them look better
in the end no one wants to sleep in a bunker or in a rotting ship people want to feel safe and seeing that theres probly still mother russia outside they can always setup supply lines with russia and other groups with the stalkers to gather resources
Chornobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia
This amount of anticipatoon is not healthy for games.
To much expectation puts to much pressure on the game to achieve things gamers expect and devs were never aiming for.
Ukrainian legend game!
The "clean Lab scence" looks to me more like a modern Deus Ex game. Strange....
You are already a grown girl, and you must understand that behind every dirt and horror there are men in clean suits , іt is obvious that a large role in the game will be given to the scientific research center of the Chernobyl zone, and it is obvious that this guy is from there, since in the background there are scientists in dressing gowns
Dont be so triggered by those clean offices. Those offices are from SIRCA. Noone would expect for researchers/scientist to work in any other enviroment, than clean as much ad it can be.
Judging by the comments there are loads of people with strong opinions who don't know shit and have apparently not seen the previous trailers or played the previous games lol.
Like one of the previous trailers - along with the devs themselves in several articles - have said that the Zone has been very stable and calm for YEARS and that SIRCAA and the Ward pretty much have most of it under control. Hence the clean and modern looking armor on Korshunov who is the leader of Ward, and the clean office with Dalin is obviously some sort of SIRKAA research station on the outskirts or right outside the Zone.
@@barkasz6066 i definitely can see, that a lot of fans cant even look at basic FAQ for basic answers.
But thats not on Sexyheadphones. She knows what she plays. I guess she dont know about Sirca or didnt realize, that this scend is from it.
Clean means more than beyond the physical and clean vs dirty, but where my point of that leads is everything to do with literal lack of shaders and details in the scene. If you believe the point of the argument is that "A clean work environment does not fit into the stalker world' you severely missed the argument entirely.
@@barkasz6066
we're just getting snippets, but it looks good.
alright, a little tangent.... how come you look just as young as you did 10 years ago????
There definitely shouldn't be any shiny, polished new interiors inside the Zone, because it's been falling into ruins since the Zone appeared, and it should all be Soviet structures, furniture etc. Not that the Soviets didn't have nice furniture and homes, but it was mostly standardised basic good-enough only stuff. So my guess is that the shiny suit in the shiny room with the '90s notion of a fashiony desk with those triangular ends should be outside the Zone, wherever the top secret Ukrainian/Byelorussian/Russian government research conspiracy is run from. It could be any of them because Chernobyl is right by both borders. That would be my guess. You can't get new building inside the Zone because how are you going to get the diggers and the construction crew and the floor tiles and all the rest of it into the Zone when its the gorram Zone?
I like the idea of picking up the loose end of what happened to all the surviving Monolith guys without the Monolith controlling them anymore. You see a bit of that in Call of Pripyat of course with the guys you have to recruit for Freedom or Duty to get another helper to get through the underground route into Pripyat. That bald guy disassembling an AK who you thought had too smooth textures on his armour looked Dutyish to me, just because his gear seemed to be charcoal dark grey/black. I'm interested what they do with the factions in general, and how they relate it to real world politics if at all.
In the pre-coup Ukraine when the original games were written, Duty are the patriots who use only Soviet type gear, and Freedom are the hippies who use only NATO gear, but in 2014 that got reversed with the ultra-nationalists backing NATO because Washington was helping them sieze power. Svoboda means freedom, and Svoboda are a fascist party. They could give the different factions links to different governments, that would be interesting, but I would prefer if they kept it a completely seperate timeline where all that history since 2007 hasn't happened because everyone's got a bigger probem to deal with, namely the MFin' Zone.
The coup was in 2019.
I have Soo many questions for strider what's happen to him the Government brain washed?
