DSOGaming writes: "As promised yesterday, GSC GameWorld made an official announcement about the fate of STALKER 2. And just a few minutes ago, GSC tweeted that they will do their best to continue. What does this mean though? Does this mean that STALKER 2 will be outsourced to another developer or will a new gaming studio be formed after GSC's closure? One can only guess."
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.
the rest of the staff might as well join 4A games and bring the stalker franchise with them.
Get out of here Stalker.
... No please, come back. I was kidding.
