If you want to make any money these days. multiplatforms where it's at. Only problem I can see is inventory management - losing that would really kick stalker in the teeth. But Fallout 3 did it pretty well, and at least multi-platform might make sure it gets released bug-free this time. All in all not surprised, but still looking forward to it.

This. I imagine they need the console dollar to keep afloat but what the fuck would I know

Call of Pripyat was not monotonous. Nor were the others really, unless you decided to do the randomly generated quests which served no purpose.

I see you know as much about video games as you do about economy

Maybe they'll realise their core audience is on PC and ensure that's the best version. It'd be almost revolutionary for a developer to do that, but these guys seem like the sort to know which side their bread is buttered.
Considering that there're only 5 or 6 Xbox 360 devkits in Russia and/or Ukraine (I may be exaggerating. But not by a lot.), this seems likely.

The amount of unrealistic wishful thinking you people will endulge in just to ignore some of the harsher facts(like the one that a game being released both for PC and consoles will be built for the latter) never ceases to amaze me.
Bioshock Infinity will be awesome!

This will eliminate the inventory as it was before. Now you will carry a set amount of AntiRads, Bandages and Healthpacks and one body armor. You'll be able to carry two weapons, a sidearm and primary weapon.
Body armor degrading will be removed and you can perform basic upgrades to the weapons.
Thats the inventory stuff over, that just a prerequisite for working with the controller and reducing the complexity of a couch game.
The flatness and recoil of the weapons, etc. basically the complexity of the weapons has to disappear because you cannot aim with a controller, it makes no sense to have these weapon attributes, hence why weapon upgrades must be basic. It'll be a halo shooter. Try and imagine aiming like in stalker, etc. trying to predict where the enemy will be and moving a crosshair the size of a pixel in front of said enemy to compensate for the weapon, impossible!
It'll be a completely different game with the stalker storyline and perhaps atmosphere, gameplay will be a different shooter altogether.
I have a x360 and I think it's great but it's not the console fault that the company needs to maximise it's profits. In a civilised world man would make a game and choose the best platform for it.
