Support NeoGAF

[ZehDon]

its real

 

[adamsapple]

It's better than them cutting content, at least.

 

[ManaByte]

$20 per game, especially a new release (on console), seems fair.

They're $5 each on Steam.

 

[adamsapple]

They're $5 each on Steam.

Well, first time releases on console tho. I'm sure they'll go down in price in a few months.

 

[semiconscious]

It's better than them cutting content, at least.

absolutely correct... but it's still disappointing that they'd somehow feel obliged to include it...

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Controller support for these games on PC would be nice. The whole basement-desk thing that PC gaming had back then feels archaic.

 

[ZehDon]

While true, if the age rating for the game - which was renewed for the re-release, I might add - isn't sufficient coverage for the content of the game, then what's the point of that rating? When beloved fifteen year old sci-fi euro-jank shooters need a "modern standards" disclaimer to fend off the social media bloodhounds, I gotta wonder: why don't Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation just show a mandatory "modern standards" disclaimer whenever you launch any game on their platform if it's this ubiqious?

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Nice to see another console game that is going to get some mod support (albeit in the future).

Will be interesting to see what kind of mods the Mod.io integration allows them to support.

 

[fart town usa]

Nice. Had SoC on PC years ago. Will definitely get these on PS5.

 

[ANDS]

How. . .is this not available on the PC? Count me as another person with every game somehow in my library, but little or no playtime because there's no controller support (or updated UI/UX).

. . .like, this seems like a no-brainer to put on PC (perhaps at a discount for owners of the original).

 

[M1chl]

holy fuck

 

[Skifi28]

I've never been able to get into stalker and from what I've played, I didn't get the impression it'd be very controller friendly. Very interesting release anbd looking forward to the DF breakdown.

 

[M1chl]

nooo..wtf... why what did they change. and the "can't call some one a #@# but can shoot them in the head" is so crazy. If its rated mature, it shouldn't matter.

Most likely some positive piece of text about Russia and so on...

Agreed. I'd love to tackle the trilogy on my Steam Deck with proper controller input and the UI... ain't great.

 

[King Dazzar]

These were all great, but I just know they wont have aged well at all. I'm happy to leave them in the past and my memories.

 

[Denton]

MASTERPIECE trilogy, Call of Pripyat is probably my favourite shooter of all time

Now, I am actually thinking about dusting my 5 years unused PS4 Pro and buying it there for the controller support

Really hoping they will patch it into the PC versions too, I have wanted to play these on TV for ages.

 

[Puscifer]

Agreed and I preferred Sleeping Dogs with a keyboard and mouse, but there's no reason to not have controller support these days it's literally a few hours of work.

 

[diffusionx]

Shadow drop, talk about "remaster", first console version of this ever, I'm wary

 

[KaiserBecks]

Playing Stalker without mods? Eh, thanks but no thanks.

 

[Bry0]

These were all great, but I just know they wont have aged well at all. I'm happy to leave them in the past and my memories.

I play them almost every year. I think it just depends on your tolerance of dated gunplay and janky movement. It doesn’t bother me personally as all the other positives outweigh that, but I could understand how others may not want to deal with it.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Euro dev and no native ps5/sx version = red flags

European dev ports in my experience are almost always rife with issues like bad framerates, screen tearing, and deadzone issues.

 

[Connxtion]

I’m not going to even touch these games until I know how they perform. I half expect them to be literally unplayable LOL

Seem to be solid 60 FPS on series X, though am using VRR, so I won’t notice dips above 40.

 

[Rob_27]

Was just about to come and say at least it's 60fps

 

[adamsapple]

Euro dev and no native ps5/sx version = red flags

Not having native versions means the much more powerful consoles will iron out the performance issues at least.

Great, will pick these up shortly.

 

[Denton]

Anyone gonna test these on Pro? Still 60fps stable?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Just played the 1st game on the Series X. Works perfect. It's Stalker, exactly as you remember, well, it looks better than it did on my old 5900. Works really well with a pad too

Couldn't be happier to be honest. A nice surprise for a boring Wednesday.

 

[DaciaJC]

Nice one. Enjoy, console bros, they're awesome games!

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Nice one. Enjoy, console bros, they're awesome games!

Which is the best?

 

[intbal]

I preferred Pripyat. But the first and third are both really good.

 

[Denton]

Which is the best?

Call of Pripyat, it has the best quest design, anomaly design, atmosphere.

But all three are masterclass in immersion.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Bought with the pricing error, hopefully the PS5 patch comes soon, also apparently there will be mod support? Nice if true.

Nice.

Would you mind taking a picture or two and share it here?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I'm in bed now just browsing

I'll stick some up quick first thing before I go out

 

[bender]

I think these are the pics that adamsapple was talking about.

 

[adamsapple]

[Dorfdad]

too how does the play and look on PS5 vs Series X framerate etc? Deciding which console to get it on!

 

[Kings Field]

gonna get them tonight on series X when I hop on.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Immediate buy on PS5.

These are some of my favorite games of all time on PC, and this gives me an excuse to play them again (and with trophies).

 

[M1chl]

Its actually amazing and way that I would expect it to be. Game is very playable on gamepad and so far I am enjoying it, despite being here well over midnight

 

[intbal]

Some Series X footage and FPS readings.



Kinda looks like it has one of those camera bugs that has become common of late. But that might just be the recording.

 

[DaciaJC]

Which is the best?

In my opinion, Call of Pripyat.

 

[TheMan]

Will wait for opinions. When playing on PC it’s usually recommended you mod at least with community made bug fixes

 

[DerivedDataCache]

2024 is really all about porting exclusives (and layoffs).

 

[SirKicksalot]

Really hoping they will patch it into the PC versions too, I have wanted to play these on TV for ages.

SoC turns 17 (lol) in two weeks, maybe they'll drop an update for the anniversary.

 

[Phase]

Sent this to my brother and he's pumped. He never had time to play through my copies when he visited, and now he'll get them all on the PS5!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Gah, fine! My best side too

Some Series X footage and FPS readings.

Nice one bud, was just about to stick a video up. What camera bug do you mean though?

In my opinion, Call of Pripyat.

If memory serves too, even unmodded, it had the better weather system.

 

[lh032]

If any console gamer here played the game please let me know of the "quality" of this game

I heard this franchise is very buggy and require mod to actually have fun

 

[GinSama]

I think they fixed the price in the psn store..
But on UK Xbox is cheaper to buy the games separate than the trilogy 29£ vs 32£ something

Edit: nevermind they changed since yesterday.....I'm regretting not buying yesterday

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Do these three games build upon each other in terms of story or mechanics? Would it make sense to play them in order is what i'm interested in.

 

[xrnzaaas]

This is truly awesome, but I think I'll wait for that Series X / PS5 patch.

And is there any chance for a retail release?
