Facts about s.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 and GSC, which is known in 2015

We all know what happened in 2014 – the GSC GW studio opened the development department and announced the new “Cossacks”. There were no indifferent, but it was not about this game, but … well, you understand. Half believes that the studio will take care of a “stalker” after the “Cossacks” exit, the second thinks that the “stalker” will no longer be. We should wait for the release of the “Cossacks”, only then can we draw any conclusions.

Over the past 2 years, the members of the studio gave a huge number of interviews, press releases and answered a lot to questions. The facts below were taken precisely from there, they all sounded from the mouth of officials and all of them are relevant for 2015

This hour will be a wave of diesels, because a sore topic, well, or just want to attach diesels to someone, just read it and you can not look for all sorts of interviews and news. Nobody believes in the release of the new Stalker, it is constantly heard that “the stalker will come out with the Third Halfoy!”, But Gabe openly said that online games pay off and make single games Valve anymore, and GSC representatives now and then remind of the status of the project – it is frozen, not canceled!

So, this is what is known for 2015 about s.T.A.L.K.E.R.2:

– S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 is frozen due to inconsistency with quality planks. Also, the developers were afraid that the game would be developed for too long and will be outlined for the release

– S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 is frozen at least half the development, this was confirmed by the GSC PR manager in 2014

– The GSC studio was not closed these 3 years, the development department was fired. Now a new one is recruited

– The engine developed for the new stalker is ready. (But most likely, he is already outdated, after all, 3 years have passed)

– All these 3 years, the studio did not conduct any work on all the expected game. As frozen – never touched. The same applies to the engine, and all the concepts and samples of the engine are irrelevant

– And this is Love Casino for those who believe that the game will not come out, because the people who worked on it went to do Survarium – one of the problems was the lack of specialists

– There are still those who worked on a stalker in the studio. By the way, the 4A Games staff left the GSC before the exit of the “shadows of Chernobyl”

– Despite the graphics and multi -platform, the game had very few useful developments

-GSC is not going to leave Ukraine because of the political situation, as 4A Games did

– At the moment, the studio only works on the “Cossacks”, there is no old scheme (2 games in parallel), but it has ambitious plans

-The studio rejected the Free-to-Play scheme, since their audience is older than the audience of such games

– Valentin Eltyshev (PR manager) confirmed in an interview with the magazine “Spire” that the studio plans to engage in new “Cossacks” and “Stalkers”, as these are the most famous brands of the studio (you can check for yourself)

– engage in console or multi -platform projects, the studio does not plan

– the rights to the series still remain with Grigorovich. Neither Bethesda nor Bitcomposer owns them

– Sergey Grigorovich considers the series the cultural phenomenon of the Russian world, is not going to throw it (and he also compares the importance of the game with the Maidan)

– If you believe Sergey Grigorovich, GSC simply did not have money for aaa project, which was supposed to be stalker 2, and he was afraid to invest his money. So buy Cossacks 2, who knows where they will let money from the training camp

– The Bethesda car was noticed in the Choso, what this means is unknown

– The studio still supports the sale of a cult trilogy, the work of multiplayer servers is supported

– The studio does not plan to resort to the help of publishers. Still, the GSC World Publinging will continue to spread the game

– The head of the studio was the brother of Sergei Grigorovich – Evgeny

– And again. At least 5 people related to GSC have repeated many times – “Stalker 2 is alive!”

And now about the sad. Still, Evgeny Grigorovich wild fan of strategies, not the fact that he will begin the leadership of a “stalker”, but it is worth hoping for the sales of the “Cossacks”. Still, they are unlikely to return to Venom or Firestarter, but they can return to the “conquest of America”. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 will definitely come out, but when? Do you want to wait so much?

In general, fans of the series amazing people. They sincerely love a series and want to continue, but at the same time they rush to prove that there will be no continuation to everyone who raises this issue. Just an axiom – there will be no more stalker. It’s so fashionable to think, this is a mainstream, but you should not bury the game on which you can earn so much money
