It's too late for STALKER the original developers went on to form new studios

Despair6664146d ago

If they had then they would'nt have acquired the license

If ubisoft could acquire the Call of Duty name they would. This could just be about name recognition.

If some of them are at 4A and some of them making two separate apocalyptic games starting two new dev studios how many devs could be left?

Maybe the janitor & security guard will continue the series?

NYC_Gamer4146d ago (Edited 4146d ago )

The original GSC members are gone and formed these sudios...

4A-Metro franchise
Vostok-Survarium MMO game
Union-making new apocalyptic game

So how could a true STALKER game be made?

RuperttheBear4146d ago

It doesn't mean they can't make a successful follow up to Stalker just because the original team aren't there. A new team can take what made Stalker great and improve on it.

The original team made a great series, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of faults with it, the engine could have been a lot better.

They aren't the only good game devs on the planet you know.

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

Alexious240d 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.

shinoff2183240d ago

The war isn't exactly over

Tacoboto240d ago

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

Lightning77240d ago

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

Alexious240d ago

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

got_dam240d ago

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

z2g239d ago

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