I like Escape from Tarkov, is this similar?

[AirDrifter]

Now I'm not talking about extracting as I know S.T.A.L.K.E.R is an open world game with monsters and humans, but I mean as in is it immersive? Is the game very hardcore and do you think that it has the same feeling of the adrenaline rush that Tarkov can have from a life or death situation?

I'm very late to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise so I'd love to hear opinions from those who have played previous games or what your insights are for this next game.

It's nothing like Tarkov, outside it being in a Slavic region and vibe. That being said, if you enjoy Tarkov you may very well enjoy this game.

The previous games are "good for their time". In the same way that Dark Souls is good, just not as good as Elden Ring kinda thing. They were good for their time.

Well EFT was definitely inspired by Stalker so there will be some similairities, like both games plot revolving around going into the zone for teh loot

[ImHelping]

In tarkov, you want to escape.

In stalker, you want to go INTO the zone. Even in the game with the end goal of leaving, 99% is going deeper.

The game is def "hardcore". In the aspect, you will die a lot and you will feel GREAT when you come out on top.

Isn't Escape from Tarkov all about PvP which this Game is not at all ? They shouldn't be compared.

Definitely similar in terms of relying on immersion and atmosphere. It will be more difficult than most games nowadays even on Normal difficulty.

The fanbase also modded lots of Tarkov game mechanics into the previous titles so I'm sure we will see that happen again (see Escape from Pripyat).

It's a direct clone. You're gonna be walking the zone at night, and some hackerman is gonna 360 noscope you with thermal vision.

Its actually PVPVE and they're also PVE only mode now. Whether you think they should be compared or not, isn't up to you. I'm trying to pin point what type of game S.T.A.L.K.E.R is, hence why people may ask questions to get informed and understand the type of game.

tarkov is literally just a giant rip off of stalker with multiplayer extraction on top

[Maltent]

what tarkov only hopes to achieve, tarkov likely got inspiration from Stalker.

[Panther]

Tarkov takes a ton of inspiration from Stalker, from Andre Tarkovsky's name, to the inventory system, and others that are much more subtle.

When it launched a lot of Stalker heads were emotional over the fact it was pvp, and they weren't comfortable with that.

It's not stalker, but it absolutely does scratch that same itch and appealed to a large number of Stalker fans.
Fair to say if you like Stalker there's a chance that crosses over to Tark and vice versa.

[Gerarderloper]

I guess you will be looting, shooting, selling. However there isn't a home base screen or anything. I believe their trying to do everything in-game.

No idea what the multiplayer mode will be, probably a small level PVP thing, hopefully MODS are allowed and we can expand on that.

I do hope its borrowed some ideas from Stalker-Anomaly and isn't super easy. I'll be playing on the hardest mode because I felt the original games were hilariously easy to get through. (anomaly however, not so much)

[Rootbeer Safety Team]

Stalker is the source of inspiration for many franchises including EFT.

That being said. They're nothing alike

[JackSlader]

This is a petty singleplayer game, Tarkov offers unlimited amounts of replayability, realistic and complex gameplay mechanics, comparing it would be very generous indeed.

Not to mention the non official version of tarkov has a huge modding community for Cooperative.
