They were "aiming for 2021" back then and still looking for a team to join the development.

so, release in 2027.
i´ve said it yesterday and i will say it again, people shouldn´t get their hopes up about this one, there are no original Stalker devs at GSC gameworld anymore and they have a track record of excessive dev times and overpromising things.
I think you can re-do it as long as you let it expire first
either way
WHAT THE FUCK, how much did they show today was CGI, render target or "in engine"
either way, please dear god hit that atmosphere. It looked like a hell of a design.
They also said "the trailer is in-engine. Actual game models were used to create the trailer".
This article really doesn't get that point across...

Stalker 2 was one of the exciting things from that conference for me - this is another disappointment.
I think people will be in for a harsh awakening when many games will look more like Halo Infinite than all the CGI trailers the developers want to sell as "in-engine".
STALKER 2 was only announced so the devs could find a publisher
Update, May 29: Turns out that STALKER 2 announcement might have been a bit premature.STALKER 2 might be set for a release in 2021, but it’s yet to actually secure a publisher. According to Epic Games’s director of publishing Sergey Galyonkin (who you may also know as the founder of SteamSpy), t

This was back in 2018.
That's not CGI quality, it's rendered with UE4.
The trailer is not that high quality to be CGI, just look at low res trees
It's cool that they cleared it up but it is pretty obvious how intentionally misleading it was made to be.
That's not the same thing and we had in-engine trailers for years.
There's a big difference between CGI and in-engine.

I'm not going to claim I know more than anyone, but I'm pretty sure the trailer was showing environments they made for the game but in-engine and not real time in the game. It seemed pretty much like what it was to me, which isn't bad and I think the right thing to focus on with the game definitely still in heavy work as part of STALKERs big appeal is its environments and aesthetic.

They said it's a "target render" and what they are "aiming to achieve"
Saying it's "in engine" is completely irrelevant...I can run "in engine" assets on a PC with a 2080ti, turn it into a trailer and then try to sell you the game for the OG Xbox One...it ain't gonna look anything like it...
Since it's a "target render, that means RIGHT NOW...they've got nothing to show you running on an XSX that looks anything like that....so yeah, it might as well have been CGI
But it's not CGI, "saying might as well be CGI" when the trailer does not look like something from CGI makes no sense.
Go watch the trailer and tell me where do you see the CGI out there, because nothing out there looks like CGI, on the contrary.
They can make CGI as high or low detail as they like. They can even make CGI with the express intention of making you think that's how the game will look.
They really need to stop doing this. If you don't have a game to show then just fucking wait until the next event. The game is early in development and already getting a bad rep because of this.
First of all...CGI literally means images created with a computer, we come to talk about it in the gaming world as completely pre-rendered bullshots that have little or nothing to do with the game.
You're trying too hard to play at semantics. The point is. It's a target render...they are literally saying
"We've got nothing to show you, so this is what we hope our game looks like when it comes out"
It doesn't matter if that video is rendered in Unreal 4 on some random PC...or if it's Pixar's latest short...it might as well be CGI because it sure isn't running real time on an XSX

Very rarely(maybe never) is an in engine trailer ever representative of the general look and feel of a game. Its basically what their engine is capable of if there is no concern for real time rendering. It's pretty accurate to just consider it CGI.
With modern game engines, there really is no difference with CGI or in-engine. The difference will come based on the scope and what you present to be actually achievable. A target render is one such thing.That's not the same thing and we had in-engine trailers for years.

However, rarely is a target render what the game ends up looking like. It usually will see a downgrade.
Here's the very first trailer for Stalker 2

Yes it's UE4. It has been known for quite some time. I am surprised they didn't use Metro engine, or tis this anotehr company who is in charge of the sequel?
Different company. 4A games is a bunch of Stalker devs who left to make Metro.
I think the point is that it's misleading. I would even argue that CGI is better than target renders since it's obvious even among the untrained that it's not representative. Most people (including me) don't even accept "in-engine" trailers because it's one thing to create a render with controlled parameters and another thing to make it into gameplay.
Look, maybe in the end the game does end up looking like the target render or even better because the developers are great but, when talking about promotional material things shouldn't be left on the developer's good will.
In engine doesn't mean all that much, nor is just using UE since that is being used now to make television effects. I expect the game to look impressive, but nothing much about the graphics can be infered if it is a target render. The style obviously can be tough.
GSC had many weird/shady things happening around them, so I am inclined to agree.
