100% CGI, as everyone wise knows.Screenshots aside, what was this:
Target footage? CGI?
They did not even have access to UE5 (the engine of the game) when they released this trailer.

I mentioned something about it looking like far cry in another thread the other day before it came out and people said I was being ridiculous.
Look at it now

considering the gameplay impressions, mechanics etc this seems overly dramatic. I was afraid we’d get something super dumbed down which doesn’t seem to be the case at all.

Phil looks so...reserved and awkward here. It must be exhausting to constantly have to present yourself to cameras as they follow you everywhere. My face would be in pain from having to smile like that all the time.

Knew that 2021 trailer was too good to be true.
Still looks like a big step up from current S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games graphics wise.
That American voice sounds out of place too for the series.

i mean, i guess we'll see
stalker1 was a total clunk fest and look poopy at times... but it also felt greater than the sum of its parts.

I called it in the screenshot thread. This game wont see the light of day in at least 2 more years. Also they cant even match a game that came out 4 years ago and this was the og version without raytracing when I took the screenshot in 2019.
What does Xbox have to do with this game that is being developed for Xbox, PS5 and PC during a war?
As for Forza, is today opposite day?

They are not working from Ukraine you clown. They moved ages ago in Prague. No one here is dismissing the war in Ukraine but that has nothing to do with the game. Jesus some of you people are cavemen level of obtuse.

Well, most Eastern Europe willages (were people actually live) don't look like this (let alone have concrete block instead of asphalt on roads, but they don't have asphalt too) cuz they weren't affected by radiation and wasn't abandoned for almost 40 years.Idk man second screenshot looks more like actual Eastern Europe to me.
Btw, have you guys noticed the weird Tractor out there which is clearly a placeholder and don't even have textures? I only just noticed it. How they've managed to miss this after reviewing the footage before publishing is beyond me.
Actually, original version had RT, the main (and big) difference is that the latest version of the game was build with RT in mind, don't have raster effects (lighting, AO, shadows, etc.) at all and simply won't work on none RT GPUs.
Here's Metro Exodus EE at 4K with maxed out settings incl. RT (I haven't played much of this version yet, so I only have screens from the very early part of it):

Slightly disappointed with how it looks visually after expectations were set so high, but unless it’s completely borked I’ll probably still pick this up at launch.
What concerns me most is the frame rate…. it was uploaded at 60 but some of those scenes aren’t getting anywhere near, despite very little taking place on screen….

Do you mean Xbox first party or xbox game in general because it IS coming out for Xbox as well and always has been.
I'm super excited for this game. The originals are some of the most atmospheric and underrated games I've ever played. Stalker Anomaly is like no other IMO.

I mean, their country is at war, a number of their employees were killed, and it's fucking Microsoft's fault?
The depths people will go to try and throw shit at MS is quite amazing to see.

sure. but not a Microsoft game. And it will most likely come to PS5 sometime down the line. Like the Final Fantasy games also end up on other platforms as well.
No one is shitting on the devs for that reason, they are being called out for the blatantly dishonest media that they released in the earlier trailers which were straight up cgi since they seemed to not even have the engine in their hands at the time. The hurdle in development conditions would result in reduced quality assets and lack of polish etc but here the very underlying tech is vastly different and that comes about when devs use a vertical slice target and claim it as realtime.
Kudos to them for contributing to development in such difficult conditions in the past but that doesn't change the fact that they were dishonest about the game's visuals since the very start of the game's development cycle. Also, they are no longer in Ukraine and have been in Prague for quite a bit.

I feel like people have amnesia about the whole GCS thing, because people tend to forget that the talent from that company left after the CEO pretty much embezzled the money and was a corrupt piece of shit. The people went and formed 4A Games and made the Metro trilogy. If this was 4A Games doing STALKER 2, I would have believed it, but since it's just the CEO larping and trying to bring back an old IP I never had hope. Then before the whole Ukraine war, they started dicking around with NFTS and I went... ah there we go.

I wish 4A opened up their engine for modders so that they could replace low-res and muddy textures, fixed some meshes etc., but alas.I have some shots from pc RT edition maxed out. Replayed it last year

I assume you can play this game with a controller? The first one for some ungodly reason never implemented that so I never played it.

How do you downgrade something that we’ve never seen in-engine footage of before? This was always what the game would look like. Let’s not pretend that reveal teasers are what every other game turns out to match upon release.
