I completely agree. I think while unpopular, many would appreciate the game if there were many moments where its focused on the walking journey and having to survive without having a shoot out every 50m. Now thats something you dont see in triple A games... unfortunately

I concur. I think it's necessary to have periods of isolation, especially in Stalker.

Yeah, about the size of the map, as a reminder RDR2 map was 75km², so it was bigger but you have to remember that most of the game was played on a much smaller section of the total map, leaving the West state to be explored in the epilogue. So the actual playable area was about 50-60km² AND it was already SO HUGE that we had to travel most of the time either by horse or train. Stalker 2 is gonna be 64km² and all traversal will be ON FOOT. This is insane big when you think about it.

[@Kastrenzo74]

Looking back, Stalker 2's map size isn't anywhere near the top of the list for largest game worlds, however it is one of the largest in it's genre. Games that are remotely comparable like Far Cry, Bethesda RPGs, It is indeed quite a bit bigger. Fallout 4 for example, was about 10 Square KM, Fallout 76 was 4 times its size at 40 something, Stalker 2 still beats them both combined at 60. depth, not width. There will be plenty of game here. To think there's a game of this scale, and its a Stalker game... that part is crazy

[@wiseandfunfox]

It's the same size as far cry 5

[@cptncutleg]

*Laughs in Daggerfall*

[@yorshka6955]

It's all about density. Games like deus ex feel easily just as large as a far cry game, but the map is just a small part of a city, but you can enter all buildings and discover a lot of stuff. Then there are games wich pan this out over a giant map with lots of space in between spots. I prefer small but well thought out maps with a lot of verticality

[@johncunningham1889]

Part of me hopes there are some "empty" areas of the map. Places where it's just you and the zone, and maybe some mutants lurking about, or patrolling enemies or bandits. If done properly it could provide that sense of being a Stalker in this massive unforgiving zone where you're basically alone and always in danger. In the mods they added this area next to Cordon that connects up to the Dark Valley, I think it was called the darkscape. But this area is mostly empty, save for some bandits and maybe a military patrol or two. I always enjoyed traversing it because it gives you this sense of isolation and despair. Obviously the map needs stuff in it, but I hope there's at least some emptier areas, areas meant simply to traverse and give a sense of isolation and getting lost in the zone. And naturally, these areas would be ripe for potential mutant encounters as well. They could be areas that act as shortcuts from one hub to another, but it's super dangerous to traverse because it's filled with anomalies and mutants, etc.

[@geordiejones5618]

There has to be it's too big to just be jam packed.

[@mathieu4179]

It's pretty much how they designed the Zone for S2 I think they explained, with maximum variety in regions, some of them barren, some of them full of life. Different types of mutants with unique variants and different population depending on where you go. My guess is it's gonna be full of stalkers in the lesser zone, and the closer you get to CNPP/Pripyat the more danger and isolation you will experience. That would allow a feeling of life while keeping also the feeling of trespassing into unknown areas and untamed territories, depending on your location.

[@Nathdood]

So, the thing about the map. It looks like a recreation/enlargement of the Anomaly map mashup. Which is perfect. I recognize 90% of the spots shown in the recent trailers

[@mathieu4179]

Huh, not really a recreation, no. A lot of stuff has been moved around, the Great Swamp is now East of Cordon instead of West, the CNPP and Prypiat have been swapped to more accurately reflect their real life location, Garbage now seems to expand all the way to the CNPP, which is now right next to the Red Forest instead of being above. Not to mention some maps that were originally cut content like Truck Cemetery and Generators will now be natively integrated into the landscape and the story. So yeah technically you can recognize a lot of regions (I think Starion counted at least 20 familiar areas but there's more in total), but I mean it was to be expected right? It's the Zone... Just better.

@jasperlowpensky5550 as far as I recall every emission/Psy storm that happens the zone grows a little so I wonder if they've gotten more or less frequent. Also in my previous comment I thought the zone was only 15-20km but it seems that the zone in call of pripyat was canonically already around 60km. Even then however that means this time we will be able to explore the entirety of the og 60km zone which in my head means the zone is likely even bigger than that. If I had to guess?

You mentioned the AI mechanics, but you didn't explain it very well. Your only point in the video was that "you can hide and they will look for you." But the AI is so much more than that. The alertness isn't even a key feature to the complexity. When the Devs talked about the AI, they were talking about how dynamic the interactions would be at a global scale. Like going on patrols and taking missions on for themselves. In doing so, they can inadvertently create conflict with other factions. This means that it's 100% possible for a war to break out, or certain characters being killed, etc. Their key point was that because of the AI, no playthrough will feel the same. So you're mentioning of combat focused AI is very misleading.

I’ve been looking forward to this game for a good minute. I saw it going straight to game pass and instant thought of the game directed by a boring cat lady Starfield. I’m still gonna wait for reviews, but this so far is the best video I’ve seen to promote this game. Good job man.

Great video dude. That map is Far Cry 6 size! Holy crap! This game looks great and whatever imperfections it may have will be easily forgivable. But now I’m old and I can’t help wondering how you younger guys should expect respect when you say “It’s your boy…” and call yourselves “boi”? Respect starts with the self and I honestly wonder if you “bois” have good self respect? Because… boi? Anyway I’m sure it’s just because I’m old and calling each other bois is really cool so, very, very good work, boi. Just sounds so bad! Like yelling “Hey boy!” in the 90s could get you beaten, you know?

New mechanic - no RPG elements... That's a stretch, man.

A $110 version of the game, a season pass, and games always seem to get dumbed down for consoles. I really want it to be good but those are HUUUUUGE red flags.

AI in tarkov is like that one sees you the whole map will lock onto you XD don't ask how i know that :P

Let's hope for a non stuttering experience.

[@jak3solo]

i really hope AI cant see through bushes.. that was my biggest gripe about GAMMA

[@gimmedataids]

If they can, I have a feeling that modders will be able to correct that since we're in Unreal now

[@AXELAX]

GAMMA has an optional mod you can tick on that makes NPCs not able to see through bushes. It really should be on by default in my opinion. Makes the combat less annoying in Red Forest.

With the biggest map ever is not quite right. The map is 80% as big as the map out of red dead redemption. Still one of the biggest, but not THE biggest that was ever made. Just wanted to point that out. Still great video. :)
