A lot of STALKER 2 fans were disappointed by its latest Gamescom 2023 gameplay trailer. You see, the game did not look as polished or as good as its initial E3 2021 trailer. Yes, the downgrade was obvious. However, GSC GameWorld insists that it still plans to make STALKER 2 look as good as its E3 2021 trailer.
In an interview with IGN, GSC Game World’s public relations manager, Zakhar Bocharov, claimed that the game is now content complete. Bocharov also claimed that the studio is still targeting to make the game look as good as its E3 2021 trailer. The studio still believes that “it can pull this thing off, realise its ambition, show the world what it’s truly capable of.”
It will be interesting to see whether the final version of STALKER 2 will come close to what GSC GameWorld initially showcased. And yes, we can safely say that the E3 2021 trailer was an in-engine target trailer and not an actual gameplay trailer. In other was, GSC GameWorld faked the entire thing.
STALKER 2 will be using Unreal Engine 5 and promises to feature incredible graphics. Furthermore, here are some preliminary PC requirements. Below you can also find the game’s key features.

Why show a fake gameplay ? and then promise its gonna look like that after we already seen to be a total garbage LMFAO
every game trailer is totally scripted, and a lot of things are experimental
Not every one, few Devs on the industry actually show real gameplay on their trailer or very close to it but yes they are the exception.
The ongoing conflict unfolding amidst the thoroughfares of Prague is undeniably the reason.
It’s more marketing to make investors than actual end consumers. You get these trailers than are years away from actual release to keep the Boomer money men happy in-time for the fiscal year investor call/report.
Ray tracing is the only way to make this game look like E3 2021 build.
They have the technology to do it but since this is UE5 it will run like sh@t no mater what they do.
reduced gamma should do wonders to the graphics, hiding some imperfections and adding color saturation
all of ray tracing is sh*t, you turn it on and fps is dead
It’s hilarious how rtx was introduced 5 years ago and it still isn’t viable, unless you’re upscaling from 720p or some bs like that.
RTX is pure magic if we put the performance issues aside. Just look at what it does to old games like Portal
Hell yeah of course it is. I said it myself many many times -pure magic it is 👍
Only retarded AMD fa**ots says otherwise, as they cant do RT for sh*t. All AMD do is worthless garbage!
ray tracing looking bad or being demanding are two different things
They sound pretty passionate. Hope they deliver on their promise.
this game was in works for like 12 years. Then Microsoft entered the chat. and M$ will force them to release, they don’t f*ck around. And guess what: it will be another Cyberjunk 2077 mark my words
about that, what happened after call of pripyat? Where they not gonna make stalker 2?
they were. game was in development and even lots of assets leaked. but some of the guys decided to end the party and made 4A games, so they scrapped Stolker 2. GSC needed funds to restart and it took many years to find a sponsor
wasnt there a free to play game vostyal something.
wait what? people are disappointed? are we living in a planet populated by generations of inbreeding between retards babies? since when an E3 trailer represented the actual gameplay and graphic? ofc they try to look their best . have you learned nothing during past 2 decades
i like the term amerimutts and spiteful mutants.
You have to be an incompetent unprofessional hack to use the term downgrade. Either because you’re a moron that doesn’t understand how a demo/vertical slice of an in development title can change over time, and that optimising a bespoke element is easier than an entire game, or you’re dishonest disingenuous piece of garbage the rest of the industry actively mocks because of this. Or in John’s case you’re both. A moron and a hack that only a small bunch of gutter trash follow because he allows them to spout their bile on his site that ONLY exists because of that fact. Pathetic sub-human scum following equally pathetic irrelevant trash. You all deserve each other.
Wow… you have REALLY high expectations for this game, huh?
No, I am just sick oh John being an incompetent moronic a*s.
So the term “downgrade” is bad, but you calling people “pathetic sub-human scum” is okay?
Get a load of this creature!
The term downgrade is a lie. Because it asserts that they’re deliberately reducing quality which is NEVER the case. The demos like the finished product are ALWAYS released in the best way they can be. But a demo/vertical slice is just a part of a product still being built and like the game it will be polished and optimised to show the best it can be at that time. The finished product is ALWAYS going to be far bigger, more complex, and have a lot more systems, animations, textures, meshes, and systems in place so will always be different from the the demo in some way, sometime slightly sometime much bigger. Only an ignorant moron looks at a demo and the finished game and directly compares them, especially if they’re years apart. Games evolve over time… or develop. Things change. Parts are added or removed. And yes sometime fidelity is lost in order to allow for more resources to be directed to increases performance. Its brainless pr*cks like John who give bad information to the community and lead them to thinking that devs are nerfing their own games for no reason. I mean how fkn stupid do you have to be to think that any company that wants to last longer than 5 minutes is going to make their game objectively worse on purpose for no reason. Unless you see some “upgrade” on sale for better gfx on their store its a moronic assertion. Yeah publishers will try and scape every cent out of you, but this “downgrade” is morons preaching to morons. and the morons bending over and eagerly accepting it.
“no you have to be to think that any company that wants to last longer than 5 minutes is going to make their game objectively worse on purpose for no reason. ”
No one is said this is done for no reason its done because of consoles being weak and using unreal engine for open world games.
” the rest of the industry actively mocks because of this. ”
The rest of the industry is mocked 24/7 for being a joke, a complete joke of incompetent hacks. So who is it that says this actually? Even digital foundry said its downgraded, grow up clown.
Actually it is not. Only a small block of incels, and special need rejects think that. Mostly it’s the pathetic dregs that fester in garbage sites like this, 4chan, 9gag, and the various pedoweeb sites you lot love so much. Dont think your little echo chamber of pathetic forever alones represents anything of note. It does not.
“echochamber” mothefcker, you cant even post on pc gamer or any other site without having your comment manually approved who is the echo chamber? Also last time i checked nothing new they make is worthy of note. They are only worth to the shill channels that cover news and shill for those games in order to get a job in the industry lika alan pearce and yong yeah. Pathetic corporate slavery.
I’ll show you a gameplay and tell you it’s gameplay, then i give you an inferior version at release, and you are scum that you don’t understand vertical slice
are you a developer by chance or just slave consumer coming here to defend billion dollar publishers for their false advertisement
GSC GameWorld: This is not a downgrade goys, it’s all evil Russia’s fault!! who one day woke up and invaded us for no reason at all! Please support our patreon for democracy!
thanks goys
sincerely, Oofkraine
Russia is indiscriminately unleashing aerial ordnance upon the streets of Prague as the brave developers endeavor to develop STOLKOR CHORNOBOL within the confines of partially decimated domiciles.
ahhahahaha seriously though, why not rename the whole game in russian instead of just chornobyl, then no one will have any idea wtf you talking about.
“you mean ukranian”
yes, i saw that, but i decided to keep the mistake because it will piss off people even more.
Russia is still losing and the ruble is worth about as much as a handful of grass.
wtf are you smoking? Even the media admitted ukraine’s counter offensive failed and the rubble worths more now than before the war.
“our democracy”
-canceled elections
Another cyberpunk in the making.
i mean if they want, they can, just make it run like sht like starfield.
They aim, but they gonna misss.

Exactly like Witcher 3. Hype the graphics, than an ugly version until modders can fix it again.
