Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Smoking Barrels Gameplay Trailer
I still can't get over how "wrong" it sounds and feels to have native English speaking accents for the voice work instead of the heavy Ukrainian and Russian accents. This is one to play with Ukrainian VA and English subtitles for sure.
I noticed this, too. "FUCK HIM UP WITH A GRENADE!", "Cover me, I'll hide"; I need a Ukrainian language setting for these voicelines. I need that panic "Oh shit!" feeling of not really knowing what the AI were shouting about like I had in SoC, and then getting surprised when they had flanked and crept up around me. That was pretty core to my experience, while the accents built a lot of immersion and feel in the world.
For sure, STALKER is just not the same without Cheeki Breeki!
The game will have a Ukrainian language option afaik. There won't be a Russian dub though.
These weapon handling animations look gorgeous. Hope they're not faked for the trailer.
Basically me when I saw that one :
What tool do you use to mame edits like these?
The old-school way, which is basically just overlaying an image with transparency over another one (in this case I also had to crop the template I found because it was the one with the 2 guys, and I used some online image editor tool but paint.net or gimp would have done the job if I had bothered to install them). I just searched "soyjack pointing template transparency PNG" in duckduckgo images search for the template.
I did it. Thanks.
I am jonesing for this game so bad
I don't know, it looks pretty weak and mediocre to me, quite dated too honestly, both visually and gameplay wise.
A while ago I read impressions from people that got to try this game on events and they did not seem to be too impressed.
I don't think this title will live up to its name.
So what kinds of gameplay differences would you have liked to see, that would not be "weak" and "mediocre" to you? What would you have them deliver?
One of the things that gets me excited about this game is the fact that the gameplay and visuals feel and look true to SoC. Which is exactly what most have been asking for, a "modern" S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, and wow does it appear the have nailed it.
It just looks like a generic 2015 game or something. Gunplay seems very bulletspongy, weapons seem very static and weightless, general atmosphere is dull, AI enemies just run around like imbeciles and spray into the general direction of the player. In a game like this immersion should be a huge priority, but when it comes to shooting it just looks so incredibly generic.
It just makes it look like this game was made for the sake of having a sequel, without really knowing what they could add to it. It just looks like a Fallout game with all the interesting parts stripped out of it.
Gamestar, the largest German gaming site, recently stated that they are very optimistic about the game and that the preview they got to play behind closed doors was excellent. Maybe it looks a bit outdated, but that was also the case for the previous titles when they came out.
