So I've always heard of but never played the first Stalker. Obviously it has a pretty big reputation. Do I need to play the first? Is there a synopsis of the first that will suffice? This game looks right up my alley. Gritty sci-fi shooter in a similar timeline. Looks gorgeous as well.

This new stalker game re-introduces characters and story for people who don't know them from before, and from what I've heard foes a pretty good job doing it too. So no, you don't need to play the previous games.

Awesome thank you!

Story is the least important part of Stalker series (there's 3 previous games).
