S.T.A.L.K.E.R. dev plans several follow-up titles
S.T.A.L.K.E.R., originally scheduled for a 2003 release, was pushed back four years until March 2007. Keeping the multiple titles in the same universe might help speed up things, but we hope they don't get into too many development issues trying to juggle so much. S.T.A.L.K.E.R., despite having a title quite cumbersome to write, is a very entertaining and atmospheric (scary) open-ended shooter, and we'd love to see another game in the series -- we just want it this decade.

That's great news! I found this game to be an amazing breath of fresh air to the FPS genre.
I enjoyed every bit of it. :)

i like this game alot, but i cant bring myself to continue playing because the first weapons are so inaccurate... i guess its more realistic, but i got spoiled by the accuracy of weapons in other games.
i dunno... am i the only one who plays 4 or 5 different games at a time, and gets bored or frustrated with each one for one reason or another and ends up staring at icons for a few really good games that i dont want to play any of?

I thought STALKER was fantastic. Easily the best game I've played all year despite it's initial bugs and whatnot (I got far into the game before the first patch was released, and couldn't upgrade because save games from the initial release weren't compatible with the patch). The only thing that could've made it cooler is and online mode that wasn't a deathmatch (think small-scale MMO).
Future titles from these guys would be welcome from me!

Great. Newer, more deleterious bugs.
JK. I loved S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but the dogs in the red forest that would crash the game if you shot them made me quit. I figured, "you can't finish your game, I can't finish it either." Too bad, it was a great game.

Though all it's faults, STALKER was a good game with a lot of good ideas. Now the game is out, maybe we can get to see a game by a bigger team and more polish.

The questing and storyline could use some polish sure, but this is one of the first games since counter strike where getting shot is a Very Bad Thing (tm) Fortunately you can be quick with the bandage button so it doesn't ruin your fun. I think the gunplay portions of the game are excellent and the enemy AI is outstanding. Friendly AI is dumb, but fortunately you can shoot them =)
