S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs: 'There is cause for hope,' more news in January

Get back in here, STALKER.

I'll buy all your games again on steam if I knew it would help

H.O.P.E.F.U.L.E.

Just bought the game bundle in steam, it is actually really fun.

I was going to get it on Steam, but I don't know. It looks like there's a whole lot of inventory management going on that would bug me.

Not much to go on but I hope that these guys pull through and we see S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 release.

S.t.a.l.k.e.r is the reason why I built my first pc! Please don't go away!

I gotta hand it to GSC, I don't think I've ever seen a studio keep fighting to stay alive so long after announcements of its purported death. Must be that hard-bitten Ukranian stoicism.

Best of luck to ya, gents.

Really sad, I hope they turn it around. STALKER is one series I wanted to truly succeed, just keep getting better, and inspire other dev teams.

They've been working on STALKER 2 for a while, I imagine there is too much work put in to simply trash. I think at the very least, it will be salvaged.

Yeah, I really hope they are able to secure a publishing deal with someone for the consoles. I was really looking forward to trying the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise, seems like my kind of game. If not, I'll just have a buy a gaming rig and playing the original ones with the Complete mods installed. I don't see why someone without a post-apocalyptic franchise like EA or Ubi wouldn't publish a game like this since financial issues for development shouldn't be the problem. If it came down to needing to purchase the IP/dev team I would hope someone like 4A Games, CD Projekt or Crytek would step in. Or even someone like Bethesda or Valve.
