GSC Game World confirms to PSN! that the lack of images, trailers or official information related to the highly anticipated sequel to STALKER is caused by the early stage of development of the game.
The team is still focusing the efforts in the completion on the new engine of the game.
Stalker 2 developer GSC Game World wanted the game to destroy the common media trope of showing a "better life" to players.
Issue # 406 of Edge Magazine has been released, and it features reviews for games including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and more.
'In related news, it was recently reported that the launch concurrent player count stats for MachineGames’ latest title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, were below its previous games. According to Steam charts, the action-adventure game reached an all-time concurrent player count of 8,148 players on the platform.'.
By previous games you mean the Wolfenstein games right? Those games have been on PS5,PS4,Xbox One,Xbox Series,Switch and PC, while Indy is only on Xbox Series and PC currently so that not surprising.
It peaked at 12,138, article is based on old numbers.
Beat out The New Order by just about 200 and is their biggest Steam launch.
It has been claimed by the owner of GSC Game World that talks are underway regarding a live-action adaptation of STALKER with Netflix.
Hey; I'm all for these guys getting that cash coming in, but Netflix is really, really hit or miss with their adaptations. Leaning a lot on miss.
I... could...be interesting. I mean, on the surface, you just need a bunch of people in dirty tacti-cool gear shooting each other and mutants and collecting mundane objects with extraordinary powers. Maybe an anthology series that shows different stories in the zone and avoiding following any of the game stories... but Netflix, so they will probably botch it.
Hollywood gonna run game movies and shows into the ground like they did with Comic Book stuff.
I hope STALKER 2 will be hardcore shooter but i guess its already ruined it.
First crysis now Stalker 2?? bye bye open world welcome to the console yard!!
I cant wait, SoC was an amazing game. I think Stalker 2 could be a great game on consoles without the need to dumb it down, I think GSC can accomplish this. The core mechanics and atmosphere is what made Stalker unique. I hope they dont feel the need to change that formula
Sad day didn't release console was getting STALKER aswell :/ Why push a game onto something that draws the development of a game backways i never get the logic in that.
Yeah they will make a shit load of cash (Well if Metro 2033 is anything to go by maybe not) But if they would set out and make these games directly for PC before thinking of other things then surely it would be better for the gaming industry on the full.
It has been done before. Spin offs of PC fanchises have always made console and they anit cheap because they try there own things much of the time. But this way its either the pc takes the knock on effect having to play second fiddle t0o the inferior system are on the other side of the card its the console p[laying catch up and making ports like doom 3..
I own the first and 3rd stalker games but haven't played them much yet. I get side tracked too easily :/
