A few of those might be end of last generation depending on how you want to count it.
There's also stuff like Free Radical and Planet Moon which I'm not sure how to categorize.
that Western publishers do not want to postapokalipsisa from Eastern Europe.
Makes me angry and sad. STALKER was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the last decade largely because of its setting.
NOOOOOoooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOO !
They said console ports were a possibility and now there is none .... ~(T_T)~
The reason, which I believe - STALKER 2 is obtained only for the PC, an agreement with publishers on the console did not work, and self-publishing the game under the console at the GSC does not have resources. Some say that the GSC demanded incredible condition, others that Western publishers do not want to postapokalipsisa from Eastern Europe. It is clear that the story the game on a PC with a target market in Eastern Europe would be sold in small editions.
Pretty much this.Lame.. they made some horribly janky but still fantastically awesome games.
So good.
If only someone nicked whatever sort of build they had to leak it
I wouldn't blame western publishers. They are not charity, they are public-traded companies and their CEOs are obliged to greenlight games for the largest market possible and the most broad audience. They are not a private joint where some dudes make stuff they and their friends like. STALKER would sell ok on PC in the long run. But it would be a slow burner which you couldn't present to investors as a quarter winner. Have you noticed that Tripwire were self-publishing their games from the beginning? That Team Ace (Zeno Clash) didn't have a publisher as well?
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Let me dream!it's not only build, it's the whole engine too.
Well, for one, THQ was very satisfied with Metro 2033's sales, and a lot of them were on the PC. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/05/metro-2033-has-been-very-profitable-for-thq-ceo-says/
"It's a very profitable title for us," "A lot of the sales were done on PC," he added, "and a lot of the sales were also done through digital mechanisms that don't get captured by any service."
who the hell is Grigorovich?
I wouldn't compare it to HL2 but the atmosphere was incredible. They definitely successfully carried that over from the STALKER games.
Looked ridiculously good maxed on PC, as well. Still one of the best looking games there is.
Fucking cock shit cunt.
Fuck Western Publishers. Worthless shits would rather rehash Michael Bay simulators a hundred times because God forbid a game that doesn't have fucking regen health and QTE actually be allowed to exist.
I was talking about Metro 2033 in that post...Vanilla?
Which one? I'm ashamed I've never played a game in the series, lost track of it when they kept delaying the first one
Point is, plenty of western dev's that don't make COD or COD clones ...

Why couldn't God have taken Half-life 3 instead?
I was talking about Metro 2033 in that post...
But regardless, play SoC with the Complete mod and then CoP, which is fine vanilla but there's lots of great mods for it too. Some people like Clear Sky, I found it to be pretty dull and it recycled a lot of content from SoC. You'd be fine skipping it.
CoP > SoC >>>>> CS for me.
What exactly does the Complete mod do? I'm many hours into SoC and don't want to start over unless it makes a huge difference.
Dude yes.Time for 4A to make a true spiritual successor in Metro 3: Open World Stalker Clone.
Sucks man. Sucks hard. STALKER is my favorite IP.
somebody from the team posted in comment section of the blog post. He said that Grigorovich assembled a team during the lunch and told the developers that the project and the company are closing. He gave them their salary, a STALKER calendar for 2012 and some games magazine (with a preview most likely).
that is it.
