S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Rumors Deemed False by Official Facebook Page

It seems the trusted source at the Ukrainian blog may or may not be making false assumptions.

Blacktric4284d ago

They were not going to confirm that this was the case on their Facebook after nearly a day of this news emerged anyway. I still hope the news is true though. If GSC is not going to make this game due to financial problems, then Bethesda should do it. At least we would get a chance to play it.

STALKER is very world centered and doesn't care about the player. Things happen when you're not involved, and you're not saving the world. That's very different from Bethesda's player centered worlds, in which nothing happens if the player isn't there to participate in it, so I wonder if they could pull it off.

aliengmr4284d ago

What are you talking about? Have you played Oblivion, Skyrim, or Fallout 3?

ATi_Elite4284d ago

Did you copy n paste your post from PC Gamer or are you the same person who posted this on PC Gamer?

ATi_Elite4284d ago (Edited 4284d ago )

A couple Kegs of Good Vodka, a few Ukrainian Devs, and Bethesda can knock out STALKER 2 by October 2013. j/k

Seriously though, STALKER has a HUGE following and MOD community. There are PLENTY of new Devs waiting in line to Step up and make STALKER 2. Several high profile Stalker Modders would be great to start the new team with.

I have 100% faith that one of my favorite Series of all times will rise up from the radioactive ashes of The Zone to trill Gamers once more. According to the Old team STALKER 2 is halfway finished anyway but I'm sure updates and changes would be made.

It's better this way.. It would have become a mass market console game anyway. Then all the noobs would call it a merto 2033 rip off.

deadfrag4284d ago (Edited 4284d ago )

Bad move!IT shoud have stayed away from greeding companys like Zenimax!It will end up been a cash in just for the money and not the content!Stalker was a love labor made by an independent developer,just like the Witcher games,if ZENIMAX gets the IP we the players most likely will end up with a unfinnish game with no soul like RAGE!

ritsuka6664284d ago

Give the franchise over to someone who will actually do it justice. Or just let it die. Bethesda may have done Fallout 3, but Stalker is a whole different kind of IP.

Makes sense really. Aren't these the Ukrainian devs ?

Alexious244d ago

Yes...But the release date for the game was already set to December 2022 before the war began. It was supposed to be nearly finished.

shinoff2183244d ago

The war isn't exactly over

Tacoboto244d ago

The war began in February 2022 - invasion of Ukraine was February 24th, 22. You're missing an entire year, Alexious.

Lightning77244d ago

The rumor was December but hey talk all the time they need no rush.

Alexious244d ago

It's not like we don't have enough games in the meantime.

got_dam244d ago

Right?! August and September are absolutely stacked. Ill be working through BG3 until Q1 2024 at this rate anyway.

z2g244d ago

All things considered, I think we can give them a free pass here.

Looks great. Does this games have a 60fps mode on console?

ModsDoBetter458d ago

Judging by how graphically demanding it looks, I doubt it but we’ll see.

shinoff2183458d ago

I don't think it makes it to 60 either. It won't kill the experience though imo it looks damn good to

ModsDoBetter458d ago

It absolutely should hit 60 on Series X.
If they come out and announce 4k/30 it’ll be hugely disappointing for “the worlds most powerful console”.

Jericho1337458d ago

Great that they’re continuing to release updates in spite their nation’s plight. Fingers crossed for a 2023 release.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — Come to Me Official Trailer

In memory of fallen heroes.The new trailer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is here.

RaidenBlack481d ago

One of my most anticipated game ....

Jericho1337481d ago

Same, looks absolutely stunning but glad they’re just the old school inventory. Great to see they’re in track for a 2023 release date - hats off to GSC keeping development going through the war.

lonewolf10481d ago

Same here, the original is still one of my favorite games.

OG_TK_Cole481d ago

Game looks very good, I cant wait to play it.

XxINFERNUSxX481d ago

All I know is on PC the stuttering from Unreal Engine 4 better not be present in this game using UE5, or I will pass on this game. I wouldn't take it for free, if issues like that are present.

repsahj481d ago

Big respect to the devs, this game looks great overall. Still hoping they will improve the graphics because it is still looks current gen.

JCOLE13195481d ago

I would think if it looked “current gen” that’d be a good thing. Or did you mean last gen?

repsahj481d ago

If you think atomic heart graphics is current gen, then yes. It looked last gen.

StarkR3ality480d ago

@rep

What are you on about pal, it's one of the best looking games I've ever seen 😂😂

Lightning77481d ago

2023 is surprising actually. The last I heard it got delayed indefinitely.

Hopefully it still makes it out this year.

RaidenBlack480d ago

STALKER 2 unlikely next year ....
and given the state the studio's going through right now, I don't want it next year.
Let them settle and work on it undisturbed and release the much awaited sequel in 2024 or even 2025 without any unnecessary rush.
I just want the game to be good. Not another rushed game to meet a deadline.
This is STALKER we're talking about ...
