GSC Game World is glad to announce it is now officially certified by Microsoft as an Xbox 360 developer. As part of the program, GSC Game World obtained all the necessary development tools, so as support from Microsoft to get down to development of projects on Xbox 360.
Sergiy Grygorovych, the CEO of GSC Game World, said:
"We are happy to say the big efforts of our company aimed to obtain the official Xbox 360 developer status now ended with success. Obtaining such a status for an independent developer based in ex-USSR means a lot - it took us over 2 years to get. We are very thankful to Microsoft for the assistance and high esteem of our team's professionalism.
From now on, our old ambition to create multiplatform projects has become a reality. Such a policy is also fully compliant with the current game industry tendencies.
Creating games for PC, we achieved practically everything, and now are prepared to garner the top spots in sales charts and gamers' recognition in the world of console games too. This said, we will continue paying maximum attention to the PC platform."

So now what? Will the clear sky be next deadlyshadowed and bioshocked type of game?

Hopefully not. Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I think their attitude towards the PC platform will not change because of this (as said in the announcement).:rolleyes:

Yeah. I remember reading somewhere in an interview that consoles aren't that popular in ex-USSR.
I really don't see GSC making a multiplatform release if it is not going to sell well in their own country.

Oh God, I just hope that they don't start making S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games for consoles. I don't think I could stand another disappointment like Bioshock.

Given that they've only just acquired the xbox developers tools, I very much doubt Clear Sky will be out on anything other than PC... provided they don't plan on delaying it massively, which is always a possibility.

I'm not so sure, does this ring a bell:

Right now, there are rumors circulating on the net that Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3 will ship on console first, with PC "ports" coming later. That is simply not true. Let me assure you that we have no plans to release a console version of DX2 or T3 before a PC version or to compromise one version to accomodate the needs of any other version we might develop...You won't be disappointed
Let's just hope GSC are more true to their word.

All I want is for them to port the orignal STALKER. I can't run it on my computer.
And for christ's sake, Xbox has nothing to do with poor quality. Orange Box proves that PC games can be ported properly; it's all on the developer's shoulders.
