GSC Game World presented a brand new Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl trailer, which introduced us to... dozens of shades of darkness. Literally. And that’s about it.
GSC Game World uploaded brand new trailer to their troubled production of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. After about 3 years of development you would expect something spectacular to keep the attention of the audience, but... nope!
The almost 3-minutes long trailer offers some narration, some pre-rendered scenes of truck driving through a darkness and... not much more. As a person, who actually was looking forward to return of the series, I’m really getting tired of the "news" and "updates" about Stalker 2 that contain nothing substantial.
Yes, the war in Ukraine put a lot of people in front of situations noone would like to face, like fear of death, fear your loved ones are at danger, the world we knew is gone, but really this is getting ridiculous. GSC Game World had to move their staff out of Ukraine, the production was disrupted, there are more important things in the world than a game, but really, this is the best moment to put up some nothing-burger just to announce that the production will be delayed again?
The concept art is cute, the pre-rendered scenes are cute, but unless you can actually show ANY in-game footage, ANY in-game screenshots, stop wasting time on marketing BS. Situation in Ukraine is dramatic, your employees had to flee their homeland, GSC Game World, does this really help anyone? Another pre-rendered scene that shows nothing from a game you already started to sell last year...

This news creates mixed feelings in me - I want to make a smug face and repeat "I told you so!" and at the same time I wish this news was not true. Yes, it is Stalker 2 again. Yes, it’s bad news again. No, I’m not surprised. During the Gamescom 2023 a new trailer of the title was shown and... let’s just say it wasn’t received well.
It looks like production of anticipated Stalker 2 game from Ukrainian studio GSC Game World was just postponed indefinitely.
Another month and another case of gaming companies trying to outbid each other who will come up with worst idea. And, oh boy, do they got good at it.
Stalker 2 popped up in the news again, due to NFTs drama, but also exposed that nothing has changed in the world lately. Unfortunately.
In accordance with their long and painful tradition, Google has just pushed developers and clients under the bus, when the company announced the shutdown of the Stadia. Who could imagine something like that?
Right now browser online games have to compete not only with each other, but also mobile games and (even if they are mostly crappy) tons of games available on platforms like Steam. And there is one thing some of the online browser games developers forget - the basics.
If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of people who played the recently published Baldur’s Gate 3, you might have missed that you are actually playing a really bad game. Well, not actually bad...
Cyberpunk 2077, a game with one of the worst premieres in modern times, just became a Game of the Year! No, you didn’t wake up in some parallel universe, although... I’m not that sure to be honest...
