Holy shit, I loved this series back in the day.. The first time you fight a psychic enemy is crazy intense.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 announced, coming three years from now
- Thread starter benzopil
- Start date
Seems like it. It sounds as if rather than actually making a complete game themselves, they're going to stick players into it to fill in the parts they aren't actually putting into their game...specifically certain NPCs. Basically it sounds like more of an (initially) empty S.T.A.L.K.E.R. themed MMO that gets populated by players with players creating the content. Makes me loose interest entirely.
Going back to this it seems this might be fake. Someone elsewhere pointed out that it has no sources and supposedly includes such absurd things as perma-death with having to pay for another character each time and players resetting the entire world with a quest. Unfortunately i can't figure out a way to use google translate for the entire article as it doesn't detect the link properly.
You do realize the actual people who worked on the other STALKER games are not working on this one, right? Those people are all working on Metro now, the so-called "mediocre" games according to you.
In fact I am honestly surprised you guys are all hyping this game up, the actual people who contributed to the brilliance of STALKER are no longer there- STALKER is just an empty shell of an IP at this point, and considering how much of a moron Sergei is, this game will have a steep hill to climb.
The highlighted text made me think instantly of this mod. http://www.moddb.com/mods/ray-of-hope-co-op-onlineA full English translation is here:

If it actually is true afterall, then that goes pretty much all the interest i had in the game. I don't think an MMO is the right style of game for what should be an atmospheric, immersive semi-open world FPS with emergent gameplay.
I always thought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would make for a good MMO. So I'll keep my eyes on it and hope it turns out to be good.
Someone elsewhere said that first photo of Sergei is from a while ago, but the translation of that section doesn't make it entirely clear if it's claiming it's from this recent event or not. That would be one thing to show it's fake if that's true, at least.
No, i've seen a few people suggest it's a fake, but so far no one has really explained why. Is it definitely a fake? What makes it fake?
I really hope that quote is fake. There is some potential with having other STALKER's controlled by people, but that needs to be in addition to robust AI.
It's a satire piece by a community group. Can we PLEASE stop perpetuating rumors with no sources.
It's fake.
3 years? Might as well not exist to me. Hell that means it'll be cross generation with PS5 generation.
Somehow I kinda had the vague idea this was already announced and might come like this fall.
I mean I am glad because although I never played much of the first I understand it's a pretty famous game and I like the idea. But 3 years is crazy.

I asked the team a few questions. To my surprise, they responded!
1. Is there specific funding, or is the team hoping for a funding from major publisher?
A. Can't answer
2. Any veterans returning? How big is the team?
A. Big enough to make your dream come true
3. Can we expect teaser trailer or teaser art this year? (Soon or When it's Ready are acceptable answers).
A. When its ready ;)

I don't necessarily think you're wrong, but STALKER isn't exactly known for its robust AI. The "Eurojank" was half the fun of the game, especially when insane shit would happen that would make you question your own sanity and that of the game developers.
STALKER's AI leaned on smoke and mirrors in Shadow of Chernobyl, but the entire reason the games work is because of their AI design. Relatively persistent NPCs traversing an open world and engaging in combat (and social interactions) with other NPCs and the player.
I knew I got excited for this bump for nothing. What a waste of time.
Exactly. It was far from perfect, but the NPC interactions added a huge element of unpredictability and made the game world so much more engrossing. I've been waiting for a game to pick up the STALKER mantle and run with it for close to a decade now!
Now, that's a good reply.
Out of nowhere. 3 years is way too far into the future though for the announcement. Still, love the series, so it's certainly welcome.
To celebrate I will reinstall Stalker and some mods this weekend.
Wait, what? Shit, no then. That's Fallout 76 style disappointment except worse.
