New interview, not much that we didn't know already
Do you have any plans to eventually bring the game to PS5 as well? Why did you decide to launch as an Xbox console exclusive?
No plans for now. We negotiated the possibilities with Microsoft and saw several good opportunities for the brand — including Game Pass.
That’s said, we’re concentrating on the Xbox Series X/S version.
Maybe STALKER should've been left dead and abandoned.
Visually, I like it. But that’s where it ends.
As soon as I saw the endless wave of “lul looks like metro and Tarkov” comments I knew it was all over.

I feel like they will do an okay job getting the aesthetic right. Modders will have to fix the rest.
It's a major gaming event trailer. Did you really expect anything else? These trailers are the equivalent of dangling a shining object in front of a cat. Their only purpose is to look good, have some "exciting" action in them and to fool gullible retards into getting excited for the game. There's zero actual gameplay shown in them.The trailer is obviously marketed toward the console sofa gamer crowd. They started the trailer with a call of duty esque shootout.

I'm still concerned about how moddable the game will be. It'll be the first moddable UE4 game I've seen if they actually pull it off.
Great thing about the originals is XRay used Lua for scripting and an open text format for the extracted data files.
When you saw the reception for the trailer, you knew the game is bad? I don't follow your reasoning.

Not true, Tons of UE4 games are moddable, in fact the Unreal Engine makes it super easy to publish a devkit for your game where you can add custom game logic / assets as Blueprint that get loaded in a greedy fashion via .uasset packages.
For any of this to happen the developers need to support it though.
Modding with zero help from the devs - is doable, far more tedious although no different than any other game engine.
