150GB space?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Hopefully they give us PC players the option of Hardware Lumen.

 

[clarky]

Bodes well for the Series S i suppose. As long as you don't want to play COD as well.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Thats some weak ass info. Min for what target? What resolution? Recommended for what? RT? 30 FPS?

 

[cormack12]

640 x 480

 

[The Cockatrice]

640 x 480

Ah fuck, my MX440 can't play at that resolution.

 

[clarky]

Thats some weak ass info. Min for what target? What resolution? Recommended for what? RT? 30 FPS?

Yeah this is how they used to present it. Fucking useless without target resolution and frame rates.

Ah wait, this isnt official information its just off the steam page.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Recommending the 1080 Ti . . . guess we're not gonna get the latest tech.

 

[Paasei]

Those are indeed surprisingly low for a game such as this. Didn’t look bad whatsoever on the gameplay showcases.
Hoping this means that it’s optimised very well.

I’m quite excited for this game and hope it’ll do well. I can still enjoy the previous game, especially in combination with some mods like Anomaly.

From what they devs were saying about porting to Series S I think it is just very well optimized.

 

[Crayon]

My 4090 is ready.

 

[amigastar]

So excited for the game, my 4070 will do fine probably.

 

[moniker]

I think these are old (and maybe not accurate anymore)?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Specs & PC Requirements

by Mike H STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the long awaited next entry in the STALKER saga. Almost 13 years on from its original announcement, 12 years on from its cancellation, and five years on from

www.chillblast.com

This is from august 2, 2023 and lists the same specs.

 

[Magic Carpet]

150GB space?

'

I hope that isn't all cut scenes and voice acting.

 

[lh032]

UE5? something is not right here.

Stutterfest incoming for PC?

 

[bbeach123]

series s *wink *wink .

 

[Pandawan]

Stalker's 2 graphics also look surpirsingly bad for a UE5 game:

As for why the specs are so low, it's probably because the developers are Ukrainians, and Ukrainians generally are not that wealthy and generally have pretty bad PCs, and the developers care about their people being able to play their game.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Only game this year I actually pre ordered as my love for the series is long lived

It better be good.

 

[TintoConCasera]

A 1080? Wasn't expecting that, hopefully it means the game is properly optimized.

Knowing the devs tho, I'm more worried about bugs. STALKER was a nightmare to play on release.

In fact, these are not from 2023. They are from 2021. It's quite funny how this article was spammed everywhere, making people believe they are new PC specs when they are from 2021. And then people will complain that the game will run worse than these PC specs (which is understandable as those PC specs are completely out of date, and you should not pay any attention to them).

[Gonzito]

My 4090 is ready papitos

 

[Loboxxx]

If it works on a Series S, it should work on my kitchen robot at rocky 30fps.

This game is going to give PCs a good thrashing and there will be lot of crying just like what' going on in the Wilds Beta.

Even worse then. I imagine people with a 1060 won't have a good time.

 

[Swagballs717]

The specs have to be low. Slavs love this series, you can't betray them by demanding a high end gaming PC

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

150GB space?

Better than COD.


Im waiting the ps5 versión.

 

[blastprocessor]

Series S and GTX 1060 are similar so makes sense.

 

[Alebrije]

Stalker never has been a graphics machine IP, it's like Fromsoftware games.

So no surprised those are the minimum spects.

 

[Alebrije]

Dp

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Stalker never has been a graphics machine IP, it's like Fromsoftware games.

That first trailer was a graphical powerhouse, so people expected something heavier.

 

[The Fartist]

My PS5 is ready.

 

[Raven77]

I don't mean to be rude, but why is this a surprise?

All Xbox games have to run on the series s which is greatly underpowered. Even if that mandate has changed, when this game was being made that was the requirement.

 

[Oppoi]

150GB space?

150GB worth of cheeki breeki!

 

[Alexios]

580 which is rebranded 480 which was less than 50% faster than a 280 which was a rebranded 7950 from 2012? Dang that's a low end GPU. Hope it runs good on my aged (no longer just aging) PC.

 

[DanielG165]

150GB space?

I doubt it’s going to require the full 150GBs; it’d be larger than Starfield in that case.

 

[DanielG165]

Stalker never has been a graphics machine IP, it's like Fromsoftware games.

So no surprised those are the minimum spects.

Until Stalker 2, which IS a graphical powerhouse from all of the footage shown of it so far.

 

[xpresstuning]

It better be good.

Just don't go in expecting S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly. Or Shadow of Chernobyl.

From all i've seen, i would expected a mishmash of M.E.T.R.O.: Exodus (including the bad voice acting) with some bits and pieces of Call of Pripyat, wrapped in a very, very gamified package. It'll be a fun shooter, that i don't doubt, but it will not be a horror - survival shooter like the original.

Maybe it'll shine with a community if its easily moddable, but i think it'll just come and go as a 7.5/10 shooter. It doesn't have a lasting, memorable hook, as far as i can see. The fresh coat of paint on the Zone is nice, but i can just play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly for that. Which .. they should have took more inspiration from, tbh.

Aye. I've got a feeling it'll be console'ish too.

But, the open world sounds large enough. I doubt it's ever going to beat Misery in the terms of the gritty Stalker game play I want.. but I'm still eager to find out

..And CD keys dont do refunds if its really bad

Looks like I'll find out either way

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

They're not "low". Most other devs are incompetent.
