Stalker 1 was popamole shit with tunnel based gameplay after 10% of the game or so, I can't remember. After a bit of realism, you were thrown against hordes of stupid enemies. Didn't work for me. At least in Far Cry's there's no realism to begin with.

Most of the key staff that developed the first game is gone from GSC yeah but as some have pointed out the cult following of the series in easter Europe is huge and they might be able to get a pretty good team well versed with the lore and setting
If they are announcing this now means they must have started development at least for six months, so let’s wait to see what they come out with

This will probably turn into console-infested garbage with zero atmosphere and terrible gameplay. But a man can hope.

sorry but this game cannot be good in this current era, I'll be damn surprised if it isn't some non-hub based open world popamole game with vehicles and multiplayer.

so exactly like what STALKER was intending to be anyway before budget and time constraints got in the way?

Grigorovich is a kind of ukrainean Peter Moulinex.

Oh, it's even better.
1. They got a e-mail about their domain expiration
2. They remembered they HAD this domain
3. They decided to extend this domain
4. If they extended it, why not announce STALKER 2.

Anyway, after Cossacks 3, which had THE VERY SAME BUGS Cossacs 2 had and was a blatant cash grab shovelware I expect STALKER 2 to be deathmatch-battle-royale with lootboxes and other shit.

S.T.A.K.E.R. was famous for A-Life, an AI system that constantly analyzed the world and reacted to the player's actions.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will have A2018-Life, an enhanced version of this AI, utilizing the most powerful features of machine learning to analyze the player's computer and room (via webcam and microphone) to most precisely target them in Facebook and Google advertising campaigns. Do not be surprised when after Day 1 purchase, you are suddenly bombarded with tranny ads.

With Unreal Engine im doubtful that they will recreate magical atmosphere from original Stalker series. Unreal Engine 4 is very clean and sterile engine. I would be much more hyped if this game was developed by 4A Games, not only they have better talent, more manpower but also they developed Metro series which is very good, and they are definitely more capable than GSC to bring us worthy continuation. GSC Game World last game are Cossacks 3 which is pretty bad from what i heard, didnt played it.

Cossacks 3 was released 20 september 2016, probably they started working on Stalker 2 after Cossacks release. Im cautiously interested, definitely not hyped.

Metro 2033 is not 'very good'. In fact, it sucks horse donkey.
