I went to Paris Games Week 2023 to try out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 demo and meet with the GSC Game World developers. Here is the audio interview that resulted.
If anyone deserved to do this interview its you, you are a huge example of what makes the stalker community great. Thanks for your dedication and videos man, I hope this serves as a springboard for your channel and career!
The answer at around 3:50 really stuck with me. This is more than a game. It's a show of passion and perseverance for the whole of GSC that went through hell and back to develop this game and didn't give up. They deserve everything. True strong people!! Wow
So proud of you Anomalous! Your questions were FANTASTIC, really nice range of topics. Must have been incredible to get to meet the Devs and walk around the convention. Great work again Anomalous, thank you so much for being such an integral member of the community. ✌️
hello from ukraine. i learned about you from the Messer channel (the guy who made the stalker iceberg video) and since then i've been enjoying your content. i was so surprised to see your name and interview mentioned all over the place, because you have a relatively small audience and damn, i feel so proud of you man. great interview, great questions. now i feel even more hyped for the game
Thanks for sharing this interview, I hope you had fun at Paris Games Week! I can't wait for the game to come out, but at the same time I want them to take all the time they need to create the game they want, the way they want it.
Great interview, I understand they don't have many things to say right now, we just have to wait, but even then we learned some interesting things for the world, A-Life and artifacts. The fact that A-Life won't behave way too often but more discreetly I think is what makes it more real, being everywhere and doing everything would look intentionally and fake. I would prefer the world to be in pieces like in the first game, but even in an open area they can make locations look unique and with their own Identity, like in the first game.
Really interesting! I'm glad he mentioned Dark Souls as a reference because I really expect a challenging experience, and hope the game is not crafted towards a more casual audience with hand holding. I think it would've been also interesting if to ask if they took any inspiration from popular mods like Anomaly/Gamma
They talked briefly about different seasons in Chornobyl when visiting to do photo scans. Are they alluding to different seasons in game perhaps? That would be awesome
I've been following you for a long time and it's a pleasure to gain this information now from you, went in person to ask the questions. Thank you so much. This game can't release late enough 😂
@@anomalousdugout9557 Not being able to attend these I really appreciate this! Not a whole lot of good coverage from people that know stalker, and if anybody knows stalker, it’s you 😂
@@erixccjc2143 proper pronunciation can be one of the hardest parts of learning another language. For some it comes naturally but for others it's a struggle. I still am amazed at his level of English, he speaks better than immigrants who've lived in the US for 20 years.
@@anomalousdugout9557there is always room for improvement! Nonetheless, be proud of your level of English speaking. Thank you so much for all your videos. Sending you much love from the US
@@DAAAKAAAVAAA yeah its extremely good but those people just don't put in enough effort, they either barely speak english with people or are just plain dumb. Also helps if you start to learn a a kid
getting more and more excited the closer 2024 comes, would definitly love to get a playable demo on Steam, but can't wait to see new trailers or something aswell
Incroyable, merci pour le taff la communauté FR de Stalker te remercie. Tu y a été quel jour ? Beaucoup de français sont fans de ton travail on aurait pus se rencontrer.
You should have found a quiet place with sound proofing for this interview, I couldn't sit through that sound quality. Would of been better if there was video footage of the interview too.
Good for you bro you finally get to see stalker 2 demo and also get to meet with the developers. Congratulations i can tell how much exciting this would have been for you.
Thank you so much Anomalous. May the Monolith watch over you and your battles; may the Monolith's righteous might destroy any infidels that dare enter our sacred land. We thank you oh Monolith for granting us your boon. We are going to have even more of the Zone to explore in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and therefore we will purify these lands of any unworthy of your divine power, sacred and noble Monolith.
Awesome interview! I'm excited for stalker 2. In the mean time I've been playing stalker gamma, i def recommend for anyone looking for a next level stalker experience.
Given how much was cut from Shadow of Chernobyl and how long it took to release, Stalker 2 is simply being faithful to the franchise identity by being delayed several times.
Do we know how big the game is? Like the size of the map? Have they said its 2x or 3x the size of some former map? Or is it like the size of anomaly and how they stitched it all together? They really seem to be implying that its significantly bigger than previous games it seems
Feedback: don't forget the bullet holes this time! 2023.. if you shoot something you should put a hole in it! Outside of that God bless and good luck, pretty much everybody's rooting for y'all!
I was thinking of a question; Are the devs aware of the different mods for their games (ANOMALY/GAMMA)? what do they think? Do they perpetuate ideas in some of these mods? That would be a cool question to ask I think.
I remember this question being asked in the Discord #ask-gsc before it was removed. The dev that responded wrote that they are not really fond of these mods because they can be played without having the original games.
@@anomalousdugout9557 merci pour votre réponse, je me disais aussi que les devs devaient voir ces mods d'un mauvais oeil. J'espère que Stalker 2 sera open source aussi et que des mods pourront être faits plus tard. Merci pour votre contenu et merci pour les sous titres anglais qu'on peut traduire en français, ça aide pour les non bilingues comme moi.
@@florestanEY je suis un peu en retard, mais les dév ont dit que le jeu pourra etre modée assez facilement (peut-etre même avec des SDK et tout) donc de ce coté la pas de problème ! Concernant GAMMA et Anomaly en effet, les devs ont l'air d'avoir un peu de mal avec ça, mais ultimement je pense qu'ils s'en fichent dans le fond, le principal c'est que chaque joueur trouve son compte, peu importe si ça passe par des modpack ou par les jeux originaux !
Thanks! I did play the demo and it was amazing. I explained everything about it a podcast ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aKo9T5ndcBc.html
Gg d'avoir saisie une occasion comme celle la, j'espère que tu a peu essayer la démo et avoir un premier aperçu et peut être avoir était rassuré selon tes attentes pour le jeu 👍👍
