Vladimir Yezhov, the original dev for STALKER, passed away recently fighting in Bakhmut. Dude was a commander for an air recon unit.

That inventory menu UI took me back to my childhood days.

Rest in peace Volodymyr, thanks for bringing us the great stalker series

Shut up and take my money. One of the best Ukrainian games. Great Work GSC Game World.

Welcome stalker. Come sit round the fire til the trailer premieres.

This is going to be a day to remember

Rest in Peace, Volodymyr Yezhov!

Big respect to the developers during a very trying time I’m sure.

One of the devs died in the war recently :(

who's here to compare the new gamescom footage to this and feeling bummed out

Rest in peace Volodymyr Yezhov

Can't believe they're still working while the war is going on. All the hopes be with you everyone, in many ways.

it's great to see the inventory is the way it must be and not overly simplified. 🙏

I'm excited for this. Only complaint for the trailer is that most the footage that was shown was in the dark. Would've been nice to see more outdoor/well-lit areas.

1:48 narrating these PDA death logs in this way, intertwining established minor gameplay elements into this revitalized storytelling, is just sublime.

A game made by devs who actually went to war for their country....life experience gives things to bring to your art...

The shotgun scenes have some oldschool Stalker vibes. Looks like the gunplay will be like in the old Stalker. Love it

Spoczywaj w pokoju Wołodymyrze! Wierze że STALKER 2 będzie bardzo dobrą produkcją. Greetings from Poland!

The cheekiest of breeki after a long wait certainly doesn't disappoint.

The last line is a banger

недоумеваю с комментов по типу "убрали русскую озвучку теперь это худшая игра ибо не будет той атмосферы". это ж какая оказывается говенная игра была и какие говноеды на фанатах что они играли и хвалили это только из за озвучки.

Am so looking forward to this. They first game had its problems but nothing was as atmospheric or mysterious. The sim like systems of the game were incredibly advanced for its time.

Stalker with British accented English voices? Weird choice but the gunplay looks great so I'm not complaining... though I'd rather play with English subtitles.

Rest in piece Volodymyr, We will make sure your game lives on

Stalker 2 should be awesome. When Anomaly 2 drops, it will be utterly sublime

Super excited! Finishing up Call of Pripyat to prepare thyself :)))

Ich warte nur noch darauf ich will es spielen, ich bin so happy damit das noch ein Spiel kommt, mal schauen wie es wird. Es wird Zeit zurück in die Zone zu kommen.

It looks insane! It´s just me or the windows, the light and the interiors looks very similar to the "GoPro FPS" footage released a couple of months ago? Maybe they are related?

Can't wait to play Stalker Anomaly 2 on the new engine 10 years after release

I've been waiting for this since the initial announcement in 2010

Stalker 2 should be awesome , the team's work is impressive, considering that they produced the game in the middle of a war

OST sounding amazing

Keep the hype in check stalkers due to the current event. Perhaps it might/might not carry the original vibe but overtime our community will bring out the true Zone.

While there is something to say about characters being faceless and not very unique compared to others for a greater sense of everyone’s singular unimportance, it’s nice to see characters get some more depth as a way to better lure you into the world and they can be pretty fun too.

Я прямо удивлен насколько сталкер популярен за рубежом. Думал только в СНГ в него играли. Круто ✨

"Welcome back to the world of the living, Stalker. How are you feeling?"

I’m beyond excited to see what they’ve been up to for the past year

S. T. A. L. K. E. R. is my most favorite open-world-survival-horror-post-apocalypse shooter.

The guy speaking at the end sounds like Kit "The Herring" Harington

I'm seeing a few scenes tied to the true ending of Stalker SoC. Man very very excited, and can't believe the devs are still working on it!

Very nice, that's the sphere is from event of horizon!

Rest in power Volodymyr Yezhov. Godbless all those brave defenders

Vypadá to super, už se moc těším. Hral jsem všechny předešlé díly, takže tohle nevynechám 🎉

Благодарим Тебя за то, Что раскрыл слугам Твоим Козни врагов наших. Озари сиянием твоим. Души тех, кто отдал жизнь За монолит

Rest in peace ❤ the creator bro, I’m sure he would of loved to see everyone enjoy this masterpiece

When will the pre-order be opened in Xbox Store?

looks incredible make me so happy see monolith soldiers and Doctor again

Goddamn the dialogue is insane and the zone looks inviting as usual

"Yo estoy ciego, pero eres tú el que no ve". La zona es un lugar increíble.

What an amazing trailer, it made me play Call of Pripyat once again.

estou aguardando esse jogo a muito tempo

Я не плачу... Маслина в глаз попала...

Volodymyr Yezhov deserves a memorial in this game. Rest in peace hero

Something about the aesthetic doesn't look quite right to me, but I'm sure we can look to mods for a more muted experience if things doesn't look quite right.

Rest in peace, Volodymyr Yezhov.

This is the first game ever that i'm considering buying the most expensive edition of. If they pull it off despite everything, they deserve it.

All our condolences from Algeria and the players' community in Algeria to GSC Studio on the death of the fighter and developer comrade Volodymyr Yezhov. Our condolences to the brothers in Ukraine. May your soul rest in peace, brother, and we will always remember you when we play Stalker 2.

The guy who holds the pistol to the player characters head sounds a lot like warlackry

Heheh, come to me, the same words that you can hear at the end of each sentence pronounced inside the sarcophagus in the first stalker game : иди ко мне

The simple fact that we got another trailer video means it is going to eventually come out

Looks stunning. Really looking forward to it and fingers crossed for the developers and an 2023 release. Can't wait to play it.

Is the old man at the beginning suppose to be Doc?

The gun play is better from when the alpha play was first shown. This should be an amazing game.

Hope they keep the atmosphere and the AI close or better than the original games, that's why so many people still play them. But this looks amazing can't wait to play it!!!

One of the best and most unique series out there, which many tried copying and failed. A new addition it's gonna be epic. The studio behind the game are truly people who care about their game Let's see what they gonna come up with.

Эх, как же похорошел сталкер на модах!

as a zil130 and zil131 owner, this is the first game that designed them very well

Fantastic work. Especially considering you guys are still developing this game during the war.

Can't wait to play this on my i5 13600KF, 32GB DDR5 and RTX 3080 🤪🤯🔥

Cant wait for Stalker 2 played all the other Stalker versions was amazing.

Really glad they were able to safely relocate and get things up and running again so soon

If it has a release date for next year I'll be happy. these devs have gone through a lot and still pushed through. better than most do! excited to see the gameplay. Edit: 2023 baby!

Happy new year Stalker's!

finally real gameplay, this makes me cry

One of developers has died during this war, all my respects to this amazing workers for bring us the game in this moments 🙏🏻. The game looks fantastic, with inmersive ambient. Thx

got xbox series x just for this as it's releasing on game pass, this and Atomic Heart ofc

want some screenshake with that recoil?

It's so refreshing that the game is still in development even with current events.

Brasileiros em peso aqui aguardando pelo jogo!

my only complaint is the voices...some would argue that part of stalker is the silly voices of the english voices with slavic-ish accents and/or the official language of the setting: Ukrainian/ Russian

Insane! Cannot wait for this masterpiece of a series to continue

Yup, this is STALKER we all love. Looks great and beautiful!

Wait a minute, is it still coming out for pS5? 2:23

The essence of the Stalker game is that experiments were carried out in Chernobyl to connect to the Noosphere - the information shell of the earth, and an accident occurred. Anomalous energy has broken into our world from another space, which distorts our physical world and anomalous places with different physical properties are formed. This accident was the first Surge that mutated humans and animals. And these releases of anomalous energy have been occurring periodically since then. Anomaly sites produce artifacts with various properties that are of great interest to science and the military.

the facial animations are amazing! Everything graphically looks insane

This game is going to sell just on the back story of development… looking forward to this

So damn stoked for this looks absolutely incredible

Happy new Year, chiki briki v damki🎉

Holy smoke, incredible. Glad they've not rushed and yes, massive respect doing despite the trauma of what's happening to the Homeland

Never played stalker but I’ll definitely support this the amount of courage and dedication it takes to continue to develop a game in a warzone is crazy and im glad the team is safe

this is gonna be special

Как же долгожданны эти трейлеры и сам Сталкер. Неужели я дождался..

awesome work GSC team...hope it will be well optimized with no stutter encounter like the callisto protocol

Five decades of gaming evolution and We've barely even tapped the vastness of RPG potential.

La escopeta de dos cañones me hizo sentir como un S.T.A.L.K.E.R novato sin tener idea de los horrores de la Zona, que genial!

No mention of Vladimir "Fresh" Yezhov's passing in the video, nice one STALKER.

База, грунт, чекаємо.

"Показывай что у тебя там!" (с) Сидорович

waiting for Day 0 release on PC gamepass. So many years Clear Sky.

1:04 Смеялся в голос😂😂😂... Оксюморон вышел знатный ( внешний вид персонажа + обстановка + английская брань)😅🤣
