These games have fan mods that people have been working on FOR YEARS fixing bugs and glitches.

Patch for what? It's vanilla Stalker, it'll always look as rough as a badgers arsehole. Only the Mods gave it the true shine and I doubt we'll get them..
What we do need though is a Deck version.

Holy shit, I stand corrected!If it wasn't posted already, sorry for the source
I should read more of the thread before posting. This is the best news!

The game maintains a consistent framerate, but when moving the camera around the pacing for the view update isn't consistent. I'm not sure how to describe it any better than that.
It's not something that everyone is sensitive to.
Famously, the pre-launch Xbox version of High on Life had it. They patched it before the official release, though. Digital Foundry had one of their usual analysis videos, but decided not to release it since it was based on the unpatched version. John put up a small clip on his twitter showing it off.
However, after seeing footage of this remake on other youtube channels, I don't think the game suffers from this. I think it was just a bad recording.

I think I know what you mean but it's not the camera that does it, it's the movement, and oddly enough after reading your post I found it in Stalker.
If you go to move the game gives off a weird judder then moves normally after it. The only other two games I found this with is Fallout 3 and New Vegas via BC.

Don't know if I can wait for it to be released "before the end of the year". Makes it sound like it'll likely be released after Stalker 2.If it wasn't posted already, sorry for the source
Maybe I'll just abandon everything else and start playing now.

That's nice!
Hopefully the patch is before STALKER 2 in September, wouldn't mind dipping into these before the sequel comes out.

I have Czech edition with subtitles, don't think its international one and yes, Russian is there. But based on my ear, its mix UA + RU

SOC is the main story, clear sky is the prequel to SOC, COP is the “post story” to SOC.
They do build on each other mechanically, with COP being the most refined in gameplay and game design.
I’d say play them in the release order. SOC then Clear sky then COP.

60, possibly 4k, its really sharp. Controls work better than I expected, completely playable. No crashes, fast load times, etc.

Very cool. I’ll buy the trilogy when all the updates are out.

On PSN you have to select COP then the “change edition” option and the bundle will show up.

And if you don't like Clear Sky, don't torture yourself and skip it.
It would be a shame if you don't want to play the OGs anymore because of Clear Sky and miss out on CoP because of that.
But definitely start with and play SoC. Although CoP is more refined, SoC still is my favourite.

Wow, they fixed grass shadows. The console version looks great.

Am I blind or something? I went to the store on the PS5, but couldn’t see the bundle, just the three games separately.

I wanna say I predicted this when Stalker 2 was announced, but I don't have the receipts. Regardless, I've wanted this for sooooo long. Completely hyped to finally get to play through all of these with proper gamepad support on console!
Buuuuut, I gotta say...
Anyone else's OCD/psychosis kick in due to the spelling change?
Or am I the only one that's noticed?
Original:
Console port:
Now, I'm aware that it's actually spelled both ways, for whatever reason, but if one is far more widely used...and already fucking used for this, and the sequel...this seems more like a major gaffe due to it being a Euro dev than some sort of stylistic choice.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this? Did anyone else even notice? It just looks wrong as hell to me.

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
Essentially, judging by the videos, the performance is this:
Minor nip and tuck, but hey.
- Xbox One: 1080p30 with dips
- Xbox One X: 2160p30 with nips and tucks
- Xbox Series S: 1080p60, solid
- Xbox Series X: 2160p60, solid
Noticed it right away and its because of the Russian-Ukraine war. Chornobyl is, AFAIK , the Ukranian spelling as they don't want to associate the Russian spelling with it.

Chornobyl is the Ukrainian spelling, they probably want to pull away from any Russification due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.I wanna say I predicted this when Stalker 2 was announced, but I don't have the receipts.

I noticed many more changes. The currency is SR instead of RU, and Agroprom is now Ahroprom. Personally I think it’s cool they made those changes. I also noticed grass shadows seem to work, those were bugged on the vanilla pc versions for some time iirc.
It also looks to me like some assets and Lighting was tweaked in SOC to borrow some things from later games, but I would have to do a side by side to be sure. Hopefully DF jumps on these and does the work for me. Overall I’ve had a great experience in the ports, pretty much everything from pc carried over and I love it. Dare I say MASTER difficulty feels rebalanced though, it doesn’t feel quite as hard but this is the first time I’ve gotten the merc suit in the rookie village so that is probably throwing me off too.

That's the one advantage of not being a native port, the much more powerful newer consoles can brute force the shit out of the last-gen code to reach optimal performance.

That’s what most devs seem to be doing with new games too, this generation. Having the tech brute force their games instead of fine tuning/optimization.

After skipping through the comparison videos on my 4K-Screen the PC-Version is visibly sharper than PS5-version. I doubt the Playstation versions run @4K. (at least not all the time) Or PS5/PS4 Pro has additional post processing vs. PC which reduces the sharpness.
Series X looks ~4K though, but I havent seen a direct comparison with PC for this version.
So maybe the real next gen versions will run @ 4K/120.

I'm so happy to see people playing these games. Stick with them, even when the Zone screws you over, it's so satisfying to overcome the challenges and A.I. in the series.

After all these years there hasn't been games as good as these

I get it, but using both, across different platforms, is odd...especially when sites are using this art interchangeably.
They should've also changed the key art I guess is what my issue with it is. It's completely minor, really, but it's driving me crazy, haha. I do see now that they changed (very recently?) the spelling for Stalker 2 to say Heart of Chornobyl in the Xbox Store as well.
Anyone know the tile art directory path for Xbox? I have FullTrust access, but I've never fiddled with the tile images before.
I fully respect their decision to do this, but my OCD simply will not abide, so I'll be changing this out tout de suite.

They are very unique and super engaging. It’s rare when a game feels like it transports me into its world. This series does it so well.After all these years there hasn't been games as good as these
