Addon and Stalker2?

I hoped such unusual game with such unusual topic won't be commercially exploited in this cheap way, but alas. :rolleyes:

You never know, they might come out with more good stuff. They might even be able to realize all of their original plans for Stalker.

Rogue Keeper on 17/5/2007 at 09:05

Original plans, that scares me! Have you read about the very original sci-fi concept for Oblivion Lost? :p

charlestheoaf on 17/5/2007 at 09:32

Heh, let's not go too far :p

I just mean adding more things like sleeping, setting up camp, vehicles, et cetera.

Well, they planned addon even before release of the game. As for hypothetic Stalker '#2', I read it would have to be prequel. It's obvious now that Stalker was commercially succesful for GSC and THQ even though it was in development for 5 years.

I'm wondering if this is a hint towards possible console releases, although it could be an expansion too.

A datadisc could be fine, I'd welcome more areas added to the original game. I'm just afraid of some spinoff sequels/prequels/stupid adaptations for other platforms with gameplay compromises for mass audience, that statement "several subsequent new products" just gives me shivers.
