I'm about 1 hour in now, there's nothing as of yet to suggest that the titles are directly linked. I expect there's more later on, they'll mention the happenings of the previous games, in all likelihood.
I've already had the shit scared out of during the first hour, combat feels like simple fun. No skills or special moves; it's all down to you as the player. I'm playing on "Stalker" difficulty, I know better than to go with "Veteran" first time around. Foliage isn't the prettiest I've seen, but overall the game looks great. Sound design seems really solid as well, the atmosphere reminds me so much of the original.
