I’m going to say one thing concerning the new gameplay trailer for Stalker 2: Coronary heart of Chornobyl that’s in all probability going to sound silly. The factor that has struck me, greater than something, is how Stalker 2 seems to be like Stalker…2. I do know that’s an apparent assertion nevertheless it’s the thought that gained’t go away. It’s extra Stalker, simply up to date, polished, and made shiny, which is strictly what I wished.
It’s presumably what lots of people need too, as Stalker 2 continues to be one of the crucial anticipated video games ever. The FPS recreation is lastly nearing its launch, so it’s nice to have the ability to see a bit extra of the way it really performs. The excellent news is that it seems to be unbelievable. Developer GSC Sport World has finished a tremendous job with the appear and feel of The Zone, crammed with dilapidated ruins and all of the unusual stuff you could possibly ever ask for.
Human and mutant enemies are on present as is custom, in addition to loads of anomalies that may little question have quite a lot of results on the participant and the panorama. There’s additionally a couple of glimpses of downtime in hubs the place you’ll be able to restock, chat with NPCs, and take a breath earlier than heading again out into the horrors. Hopefully there’ll be some good guitar music and some stalkers singing songs too, one thing that enormously enhanced the sensation of protected areas again within the unique video games.
One of many key features of the Stalker sequence has been its propensity to encourage emergent occasions. Loads of occasions within the earlier video games you’d see troopers going through off in opposition to one another, or a mutated animal would run headlong into an anomaly, killing it with a colossal thump. In Stalker 2 all of this appears to be intact, with a number of totally different human factions competing over The Zone and loads of mutants to struggle. I’m undoubtedly wanting ahead to taking my time with it, seeing if I could make my enemies struggle one another whereas I scavenge stuff from their our bodies.
GSC Sport World can also be utilizing this trailer to point out off a couple of moments from the sport’s overarching story, a story it guarantees will probably be non-linear. There aren’t many particulars simply but about what form this story will take but when it’s something like earlier titles it’ll be morally ambiguous and crammed with delightfully odd and supernatural components.
