STALKER 2 when?
Also I remember a rumor of 4A Games, the Metro devs working on a more open ended shooter, could they be the ones to get STALKER gameplay back into the market?
never
STALKER can only live in spiritual successors now

GSC World re-opened last year
>>344659378
like what, those shitty multiplayer games that are nothing like STALKER?
I wouldn't even call them spiritual successors if they have any online focus
GSC was shut down a few years ago, but Sergei restarted the company last year. They're currently working on a new Cossacks game, but Sergei has said after it, they will look into a new STALKER game, maybe not 2, but a stalker game nonetheless.
>>344659221
When Obsidian will make another Fallout.
Most of the original devs of STALKER left GSC, so if it ever comes out don't be surprised it's shit.

You mean THQ, Deep Silver, bitComposer? These are the editors, they have nothing to do with the game itself. The writers are pretty much the same as far as I remember.
>>344659221
Not sure if you care, but!
1.Ray of Hope is going for beta testing phase in August.
2.ARMSTALKER is going pretty strong.
I know it is not the same thing, but IMO it is the next best thing.
>>344659661
none of the original team is left anyway.
>>344659608
if sergei is really gone, the game is probably fucked anyway, because his raging autism is what kept the game such a dirty slav simulator
>>344659660
they aren't "spritual successors" either , if you implied that

>These are the editors, they have nothing to do with the game itself. The writers are pretty much the same as far as I remember.
Please tell me English is not your first language. Yes, publishers were different but so were the development teams. GSC had a lot of employees going back and forth.
>>344659487
The majority of the team left and there was a battle over IP. Plus Ukraine is absolutely fucked right now. Not a good time to run a business. I imagine GSC being either in another country or just a shadow of its former self.

Depends what part of the dev team changed. I think SoC and CS were written by the same people, and CoP probably had a slightly different team considering the game's writing is pretty different compared to the first two.
>>344660034
Please no.

I'll admit I just saw the name Bethesda and said fuck no. Why would they need to publish it, though?
>>344660480
So publisher doesn't have a say in how the development of a game goes? Right?

You're retarded, publishers are the real reason games are shit.
>>344660480
>it's Obsidian's fault if NV runs on the gamebryo engine
wew lad
>>344659908
What is that from?
I just got to Dark valley and i'm liking the first game so far. Got a question though. Should I play Clear Sky afterwards? It has the same map right? I hear mixed reviews about it. I'll play call of priypat no matter what though.
Also how big are mods for these games? Cause if they're just graphic mods I don't think i'll really bother.
Probably after Cossacks 3. We don't know whether it'll be good though as while the other Stalker games had different developers for each game some key people, like the guy that was responsible for the A-Life, are gone at the moment. They might be able to get them back by the time development starts though.
GSC is still alive and Sergei still owns the rights to the IP, though Sergei's brother is the one currently in charge of the studio while Sergei is to some extent retired.
>>344661670
CS is the prequel to SoC, makes sense to play it after SoC. It has almost the same map with a few locations removed and others added.
Stalker has a large mod variety, it has large overhauls like OGSE and simple graphic mods like Atmosfear. But desu don't play overhauls on your first playthrough.
>>344659908
no really what is this
>>344661351
>So publisher doesn't have a say in how the development of a game goes? Right?
Well that's a given, but this is Bethesda, they're not one to screw with the development of someone else's games.
They've published multiple hit games that don't run on gamebryo, what's your excuse for those?
Why doesn't Wolfenstein suffer from all the problems Bethesda's games do?
>>344661423
>>344661581
see above
>>344660205
yeah and it's World of Tanks on foot
>>344661836
Thanks, i'm just doing vanilla for SOC and probably vanilla for call of priypat. I might get some graphic mods for call of priypat because it has dx11 and shit but I almost never play modded content in games.
anyone remember s.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2 vid on youtube i can't find it any more.
Got both SoC and Pripyat and finished them long time ago. I'd like to try mods with them now. What are the best mods for them?

>they're not one to screw with the development of someone else's games
They screwed Obsidian by rushing NV. The final product is overall good but the time limit forced a lot of content being cut.
You're deluded if you think publishers never screwed their dev's games. THQ itself screwed SoC by rushing the development, and this is why you have a colossal amount of cut content, though thankfully GSC did enough work for the final product to be good.
Publishers are mostly run by jews who often rush games so the release date suits them.

I don't have excuse for those, and I really don't need one too. You have to remember, this all is subjective to TASTE OF ONE PERSON. I didn't like Wolfenstein by Machine Games. And Hit Games it good and all, but again, you can't expect all people to agree between themselves on every subject. Plus, this is /v/.

From this whole list I only liked Rage and Brink. Too bad it was a flop gamewise. But still.

Funny how actually reading the article reveals that Bethesda wasn't to blame for the game's outcome, Human Head didn't want to be bought by "the man" so they thought it best to make sure Prey 2 never saw the light of day

That's not what happened at all. HH didn't sell their company, Bethesda then kills their game by shutting off contact with HH.
>Bethesda denied further funding of the project, and started failing milestones,” asking for changes and fixes without following through on its previous promise to give the team more time.
>Human Head didn't want to permanently marry itself to a publisher that was "bleeding Human Head dry." This would limit the studio's ability to work on its own creative endeavors down the line, potentially with other publishers.
They stopped developing it until Bethesda fufilled their promises, and Bethesda decided they'd rather let the game die instead.

>No.
yes I'm sorry HH should have taken that nice sweaty cock and sucked it and swallowed like a little bitch and then sit in the corner with Pandemic waiting until their owners come back for another blowjob. HH should have given in and given up the possibility to do anything on their own for the rest of the studio's life for this one game.
Or maybe Bethesda could have honored the agreements and paid HH to finish the game without doing some Corporate Raiding.
>>344666645
I dont thats why I asked
>>344666679
>going with an NPC in a linear level is handholding
Handholding would be whenever you're low on ammo someone pops up and gives you three full magazines for every gun, or having invisible walls to prevent you from falling to your death during the climb. Having an NPC with you saying hey let's go while allowing you to go on and explore the small areas off to the side is not handholding.
>>344666707
Anon, I told you to stop responding to the fat faggot. He's quite clearly baiting.

>>344659221
Friendly reminder that STALKER was literally just one game cut into three pieces and sold as such, with a few tweaks here and there that even the shittiest mod makes look like nothing
Also that the original game is free to download, Lost Alpha or whatever the fuck it is called, and is basically all three games areas/weapons/missions/monsters bundled into one giant map, played as STRELOK.
Would like to see a new STALKER but I guarantee for most of you, your fond memories are formed thanks to mods and not because of the main vanilla game. They'll stop using the X-RAY engine which will instantly kill any nostalgia boners you have which conversely will damage sales and your opinion of the next game they release, as well.
Let it fade into memory. It's better off this way.
>>344659221
GSC has reopened and will probably make a new STALKER if the new Cossacks game is successful enough
Metro devs will probably show something next year at E3
If the next Metro game is fucking open world and lets you travel between stations and explore the surface I'll be fucking happy as shit

Even with 4a being comprised of ex Stalker devs what they've been making since leaving GSC proves they weren't the reason Stalker was good. The same goes for Vostok games (Survarium) and Flying Cafe (Cradle). All people who used to work at GSC on one Stalker game or another and all that are now making garbage on their own. This actually makes me optimistic about a new Stalker game by GSC.

Yes, the goal is to make it so that the AI can search any possible place so I can focus on going insane when it comes to the world building. I want to be able to spawn some AI's at the bottom of a building while the player is at the top and have the player feel the fear of them searching for him. Hearing their footsteps and how they're quickly advancing upwards toward him. The AI is everything in a game like STALKER. The most important part when designing my AI is to avoid using current information from the player and only give the AI what he can see or hear. So as the player will never feel like the AI is cheating.

They're not trying to ride the Stalker fame at all, the game is nothing like Stalker whatsoever and people only say it is because it's set in Russia and has AKs. If anything it's like DayZ.

First thing that always gets mentioned in the developer videos is "we have devs from Stalker in our team".
