Anyone know when the release date is for this game?

Q1 2008, sorry I can't be more specific :(.

Wasn't the original terrible to get working on steam? (the forums were full of people advising people to buy retail)....and it was made unavailable to Australia/New Zealand and a few other countries (because the publisher realised they could be getting more of buyers through inflated store prices).

Hopefully it's a good game, I think I might end up buying retail though.

I think Steam has gotten a bit better, but we shall see.

funkeystu6360d ago

Just to clarify - I love Valve and steam, it's been great to me and I've bought a dozen or so games through them. It's just Stalker that I had hesitations about buying (...and Activision games - they pretty much screw over Australians and New Zealanders with their pricing structure)

Again see what I meant with STEAM people (and Online distribution of PC games)?

And regarding this "prequel" its a HELL YES! I cant wait to go back to the Zone! get ready your anti-rads people!

reinstalled the first one yesterday, I can't wait for this. Time to get spooked by scary invisible mutants (if they keep them in there), wander if they will actually allow vehicles I know they had vehicles prepared for first one, but then scrapped them.

Though either way "Zone ftw"

Review: STALKER: Clear Sky (Switch) - Tighter Shooting But Less Atmosphere| NL

"Mechanically, Clear Sky is a surprising leap ahead of Shadow of Chornobyl. Shooting, which was already solid, is tightened further. Mercifully, armour can be upgraded and repaired and there are now much more gear set combinations. This is further complemented by an increased emphasis on artefacts as a necessary adjunct to your gear set. The key aspect that elevates this prequel above its forebear is the extra focus on inventory customisation." - Ken Talbot| NintendoLife

Review - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky should be seen as an expansion rather than a full prequel, but it is one that fans will enjoy nonetheless.
