I’ve watched a few video reviews and obviously there’s a new story and overhauled graphics. But besides that, what’s actually different in the new title compared to the old games? Any new game mechanics or improved systems?
I greatly enjoyed the original STALKER series and there’s certainly something to be said for “don’t fix what isn’t broken”. But the enemies, weapons, inventory system, etc. in the new game look like stuff I’d already seen circa 2008 (again, modern graphics aside). In what ways is this more than just a remake/remaster?
Well S2 GAMMA is probably a few years off, so you’ll be picking it up for cheap at least, lol. Today 0.9.3 releases for Gamma and Grok has stated that he won’t be working on an S2 GAMMA, at least not until this one is done. Maybe someone else picks it up though.
I’m waiting for some parts to arrive in order to play the game with more than 5-20 fps and I’ll give it a second go. Otherwise, I’m going back to GAMMA and my backlog. It’s long enough already anyway.
