Is there a summary of all the Stalker 2 stuff that was just dumped? Story, gameplay, etc.?

stalker loo is never coming out
This. GSC were grifting fans long before the russia/ukraine tensions escalated to open conflict
Ecologists will be in the game
the leak said the game is only 25% complete and wont be out for years
>the leak said the game is only 25% complete
The leak also had dump from several years ago, so he just sounds like seething because ransom didn't work
>several years ago
holy cope
translation?
What is your pic supposed to prove? Do you believe all the content shown was created two days before the leak?
These PDFs show the current state of the cutscenes/storylines/dialogues at the time specified. Same with the global map.
>QTE
Fucking NO
The leak was just seething, his "le photoshoped vs original" comparisons where no difference in quality was shown said it all. Release date is 2023 Q4 - 2024 Q1
>the leak said the game is only 25% complete
I can't find any info on that, and someone responded to it and said it's actually closer to 85% now.
The gifs are all from april 2022 when they arrived in their new studios.
Concept files date from 2018.
3D scanned assets were all ready by late 2021 (pic related) as the date can be seen on some screens from the folder.
Me neither. I've seen two or three people repeat the "25% in 4 years" idea in the comments of the leaker's VK posts but nothing in the actual leaks or leaker's posts themselves. Probably just a funny rumor.
>ukrainian game
who cares, replaying atomic heart right now (doing a challenge run, because its a fun game)
Atomic Heart also has devs from ukraine
so do the entire Luhansk and Donetsk armies. Ukrainians who reject nato garden gnomery can be redeemed.
>ukrainian game
*Czech
It's amazing how quickly Ganker turned from one of this boards favorite series
Scar from Clear Sky and Strelok are back, and pic related dude from the old gameplay trailer apparently got written out of the story because he was a going to be revealed to be a Russian FSB agent
It's impressive how easily Russians can make eastern euros seethe.
>how easily
Launching biggest European war since ww2, while majority of Russians fully support it? Don't forget that Russians celebrate each time civilians get killed, started their terror bombing campaign specifically to have "Ukrainians freeze to death" while also claiming that Ukrainians are their brothers and also at the same time there's no such thing as Ukraine, Ukrainian identity and language
See? You're seething right now. I was right.
>nafocuck's headcanon
yawn
>le Russia are the good guys contrarian
>Launching biggest European war since ww2
Look at this chud go kek
Dont bother, when the katzap strikes you he cries out in pain and blames you for causing him to punch you
>while majority of Russians fully support it
It's really tough to keep a clear mind with all that propaganda, huh?
Nah, i am Russian and about 60-70% support it somewhat.

мoя жoпa
This. I only trust NATO propaganda because Western governments are centred on truth.
Dont forget the megarape.
How the fuck did they rape 2 million women
In 2 months no less
just like that comrade
for me no problemski
6 gorillion dead Ukrainians
2 milliones raped Ukrainians
Honestly, it's not far from trust. Most of Ukrainians (including males) are prostitutes.
A lot of refugees who moved in my country involved in prostitution.
>started their terror bombing campaign specifically to have "Ukrainians freeze to death" while also claiming that Ukrainians are their brothers
Seems like classical slavic relationships. Czechs, Poles and Ukranians began to kill each other right when they got independence after WW1, Balkan slavs would still killing each other if West didn't involved. Feels like the only stable slavic country is Bulgaria, probably because they aren't exactly slavs
what happened to bandit and loner?
What happened to the guy who rescued Sterlok in the first game?
>invade another country
>the other country doesn't like you
Doesn't seem that impressive.
>apparently got written out of the story because he was a going to be revealed to be a Russian FSB agent
Fake and gay. Don't trust every shitposter you see
Remember when leakers claimed GSC changed this guy's appearance for the trailer to not spoil anything?
Well, that was true. He's actually Strelok_____________
Also: the man Strelok refers to in that cutscene is Doctor. Doctor's actual surname is Kaimanov. "Kaimanov's emitter" is how Barman calls the Brain Scorcher in SoC
I wonder how Strelok will look with modern graphics
Like the cutscenes from SoC, maybe?
It still looks very good.
>Scar from Clear Sky
citation needed
Shame
Although they won't rewrite him as a guy from a NATO nation who's lending them guns to fight russians, so I'd guess that's why he had to be written out
I wonder what will be "you are Strelok" of HoC...
>Bethesda style map
Lots of potential to go very wrong or very right.
>Yantar locked behind DLC
god dammit
That is fucking grim
I see yet another soulful game is going for the soulless sequel angle. Very cool
>Three areas locked behind DLC
>game not even finished
>DLC already planned
its over
"Base of clear sky" in the very bottom right makes me happy but all the DLC makes me sad, the misery...
There's a few details that were learned like the map that was just posted and some story bits, but the full context is lost on us English speakers. You'll have to learn Russian if you want to know more.
Slava POLAND
Death to Russia and Ukraine
I'm fascinated at the butthurt a game from Ukraine creates. must be really good then
The leaks unironically made me interested in the game. Before them I barely cared about the game and thought it would be shovelware. The anomalies look great and the atmosphere seems to mostly still be there. Only red flag is the parts of the map cut as DLC, but I'll take that if it means we get a competent game.
Funny, it's had the opposite effect on me. Seeing all that dlc planned out in advance, the game also looks like any other soulless shooter too. It won't have that same jank and that jank is what made it stand out. Starving artists create the best work.
short rundown on the story?
is the Heart of Chernobyl the Generator or what?
Yes, it's the big anomaly at the center of the zone that's in CoC and the old concept arts and such
Stalker 2's looking like a slight revamp of the original Stalker 2 concept all in all
>Level -1, Tech
>Level -2, Teleporting Platforms, Strelok
>Level -3, Neuroprogramming Lab, Scar
>Level -4, Death Truck Workshop, Korshunov
>Level -5, Cooling
>Level -6, Elevator Shaft
>Level -7, Lab X-7
>Level -8, Elevator Shaft
>Level -9, BLOCKADE (psibryo)
Oh so that's what those cool round thingys in CNPP were now.
So there's a huge multilevel end game dungeon or something?
bampo
Syringes instead of first aid kits
Story of stalker 2 will be that the HECKING RUSSIANS DID IT
>the HECKING RUSSIANS DID IT
>Clear Sky were C-con all the way.
yawn. all revealed in cs and cop already
But that was the plot of the original STALKERs as well.
Swamp doctor is Kaimanov. Clear Sky were C-con all the way.
I'm more interested to know if Scar is Charon or not.
>Clear Sky were C-con all the way
yeah, it's already known from call of pripyat
Lebedev aka the leader of Clear Sky was one of the scientists who worked on all crazy stuff, but didn't get into the green pod
Duty base assault (end of the Freedom questline)
So did the leakers post anything else since then? The deadline ends today
They say they are under NDA, so the other 15GB will be posted "later"
is there a site or something we can view when or if it is leaked?
vk dot com slash vestnik_tss
thanks friend
This looks like anomaly with a modded interface. That's not a leaked screenshot is it?
correct, that's my anomaly with reshade fx on top.
can you post instructions on how you got it to look like this? looks great
why the fuck would leakers be under an NDA? Unless they came to some kind of agreement with GSC?
>Hack a company and steal it's data
>Start leaking it
>The big day comes where you said you would dump everything
>Suddenly under a fucking NDA despite obtaining the data illegally
They already posted the first half, map and everything
It was 00:00 of March 15th in leaker's timezone btw
Do you think women will make an appearance in this game?
Theirs at least one woman confirmed to be in the game, she's a part of the story. Also the Zone is apparently "female"
>the Zone is apparently "female"
like boats?
literally the motherland
What's the best way to repeat Snape Kills Dumbledore? Any juice plot elements to ruin someone's excitement for the story and spread it like wildfire?
I think Strelok dies in the game or we atleast get an option to kill him, the story was leaked but I don't know if anyone has gotten around to downloading the leaked shit and translating it yet
>playing STALKER
>for the story
they basically said theyre refusing to work on it until the united states starts ww3 with russia
>Summary: if its made for the ps4 it will be dog water
Just a bunch of PR pics.
I find it supremely depressing that the only way a Stalker thread on Ganker can stay alive now is war 4chanposting right after a major leak no less
Stalker is a really niche series and everybody knows the game is suffering through major problems, not to mention a literal war is going outside.
It will be a wonder if the game ever comes out at all.
personally i'm still kinda bummed that nobody really dug into the stalker 2 2011 leak, even though so many people obsessed over it for a fucking decade and then it actually dropped like a wet fart and no one cared. it seems like nu-gsc is actually reusing some stuff from that iteration of the game after all though, so that's cool
My main takeaway from the files in the leak (haven't read the plot) is that there are furniture etc that looks really new and clean.
Anyone know if there's gameplay outside of the zone or what's it all about?
dxmd vibes
These are from NIIChAZ (Chernobyl Anoumalous Zone Research Institute) which was founded after CoP and has facilities built using artifact-powered technology. Spark, Varta and most of the ecologists from previous games work on them (although there are some independent ones)
>what happened to bandit and loner?
Pretty much the same
Loner's main base is somewhere in Lesser Zone (west of the Cordon), Rostok and Bar are Freedom's territory now
Bandits have two major gangs, one lead buy wise old guy and one lead by hotheaded young guy. You can help either
>What happened to the guy who rescued Sterlok in the first game?
Not mentioned
Can you explain more indepth for eqch factions in the games and where their locations are? I’m not really follow anything so far and some of the stuff are hard to read. Duty become authoritarian? Freedom merchant guild??? Group that focus on destroying anamoly??????
>These are from NIIChAZ
Do you happen to know if they are for the purpose of something like flashbacks or even more?
>story
Russian-backed NTC Malakhit sends The Signal and resurrects Monolith faction, which proceeds to conquer Pripyat, CNPP and Generators in short order. MC, along with Freedom (degraded from ideological anarchists to clan of merchants who profit from black market), Varta (enforcers of NIIChAZ, Duty but more ruthless) and Spark (those guys you helped to in CoP, might be connected to Malakhit) have to find Heart of Chernobyl – proto-anomaly which spawned the Zone, stop it's expansion and stop NTC Malakhit from conducting zombifying projects again.
The Military are UN-like international organization instead of ukrainians
Duty has identity crisis since there is shitton of "defenders of humanity" now and turns totalitarian USSR-style, gulag and executions for wrong jokes included
The Noon is a new faction created by Strider, say they are "Zone Cleansers" and are busy from deactivating radioactive remains
The artifacts start gradually losing their powers once outside the zone, MC initially sent here to cooperate with scientists and figure out how to stop it
What is Frontier (Pyбeж) faction?
No idea
Probably cut from the final game. At least that's what happened with "Flame"
CAM ON INGURLAND SCORE SOME FACKING GOALS
The gif was better but >16MB
he cute
is it possible to have a discussion about STALKER that doesnt involved politics? Or Russians?
Sure
But not on Ganker - Politically Incorrect (formerly Video Games)
This is a POLITICS website. Ganker is for discussing video games through a cultural and political lens. Sure, you can discuss the game's mechanics and stories, but that's not the focus. The focus is the cultural impact of the product. It's much like how Ganker, Ganker, or any other board are concerned with the media as much as they are concerned with the politics and culture around the media.
Nope and it probably won't change even after the war is over, welcome to hell.
a
So what about Clear Sky guys like Suslov and Cold? In the finale they was on the cs base with some other random npc
Is there a way to bring zooming back to CoC? What fucking autistic retard would remove that shit?
Intriguing.
Any Russians wanna try my diet sausage?
I love Shadow of Chernobyl, but I have no hope for this at all
BRAAAAAAAP
Am I the only one who don't like CoP at all?
isn't there supposed to be another 15gb of leak today? or was yesterday the entirety of the leak?
