Like what the fuck, didn't GSC make loadsamoneh?

They did get filthy rich, though.

Sad days.

guys, it's not about the money

the problem was sergei not allowing the devs to use the STALKER IP, thus, they had to come up with a new concept and IP - survarium

So... they need to make a Kickstarter to get money to call out a hit on Sergei?

Excuse me but how the fuck are they doing to be able to do S.T.A.L.K.E.R with respawn?

"Don't worry Suvarium, we patched you up after being riddled with twenty bullets! EVERYTHING IS GOOD!"

"Don't worry Suvarium, that anomaly ripped you apart but you're alive! WHOOO"

So, no Stalker 2 for us?

No, we dont get stalker 2, we're getting a (probably) shitty F2P MMOFPS that will be riddled with kids.

They could act like you still have quick save/load.

The reason STALKER 2 died is because they couldn't secure the rights. Why? Bethesda ate the rights.

I am so irritated right now my eye is twitching.

EDIT: Apparently that might not've been the case and might just be a rumor floating around.

Are you guys joking or did Bethesda seriously buy the rights for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. name?

For some reason, i think children might not be very interested in this game. Hopefully there is as little hand holding as possible, and in the tutorial some dude is ripped apart by a whirligig or something. I'd much prefer this MMO to be difficult as possible.

bethesda do not have the rights, sergei grigorovich has the rights

I did a quick google translate.
STALKER 2. News. Continued.



A few days ago we agreed to an interview with Michael Razumov, which was held today in the online.

(Spravka. Michael Razumov. CEO and owner of "Z.O.V. Khabar")

In the morning we are in touch with Michael, so, in particular, one can obtain some information about events happening around the S. T. A. L. K. E. R. Two. and GSC Game, in particular. The information is very scarce and fragmentary, however, the state of affairs at the moment we found out the following.

Statement by Sergei Grigorovich

"I realized that this concept is the stalker will not be of interest to many players and decided to remove all the work. Announcement will not be shown instead, all that the team managed to do without me. STALKER brand into the hands of Bethesda games. I'm leaving the game development - fed up with ... "
Please note that the statement of S. Grigorovich is not positioned as an official. If it turns out the failure of the news, we will publish a mandatory disclaimer.


Then it became known that the STALKER team is preparing an appeal to continue the project without the participation of Sergei Grigorovich!

Stay with us! And you'll learn everything from the first one!

It's going to be third person shooter with shoddy hitpoint system (HIT! -20HP. MISS! HIT! -20HP. HIT! -20HP) and fucking awful animations.
Also pay2win mechanism, rookie area borders camped by exoskeleton cunts, almost harmless mutants. And a leveling system.


Why why why

Where are you getting this.

What does everyone think of these icons? The boxes are low grade ammo, completely seperate ammo to all others, the skull and stem are artifacts, and the casings are...well casings.

[Paravin]

The red is too visually unappealing.

To remember both GSC and Chernobyl Day, the Kindle version of Northern Passage will be available as a free download tomorrow (and only tomorrow).
