I'll believe it when I see it :P. I was looking forward to this game a few years ago, I hope all the delays haven't ruined it.

I think that's what everyone is saying right now :P

I have just completely lost interest. I would rather otherwise but i still see this as being another boiling point. Overly ambitious, buggy and a great concept that is simply too huge to achieve well by current means and technology.

I will be pleased if I am proved wrong, but I won't be holding my breath

[Krokar]

I still hope that STALKER will be a great game. I will be realy pissed if the game will be crap after all this years of waiting.

As much as I hope you are right, krok, I too think that it will either suffer the Boiling Point / Battlecruiser Syndrome or the same fate as DNF

[DeusIrae]

wow i never new it was an actoin RPG. its cool potential just went up by like 800%. im hoping its good!

[El Cid]

Not before fall 2006? So it's coming 2007 then...

According to what I have read is that the GSC has done their part of the game development and now the game goes to THQ. THQ will be working on the game about 6-8 months(if everything goes smoothly) until the game is ready for gold.

[JCoquillon]

I wasted too much time on boiling point, got frustrated and so can't make myself even consider trying it again. They blew their chance as far as i'm concerned.

[Deathsai]

I was so excited about this game...for a few years. I can only maintain the same level of excitement for a few thousand days before I begin to lose interest.

[Sherman]

This game has been on hold for a few years? I haven't even been paying attention.

[Deathsai]

I remember first hearing about it back when Soldner was really hyped up. Which was like a year before it was released.

[Hyperion2010]

I head about this 3 years ago, been waiting patiently becuase there are so many good games to play. Im really looking forward to the freedom to explore. The AI should simply beast every other game in existence!

[Ghad]

Lost interest.

Stalker was going to be a DOOM 3 beater.

Now, it'd better!

but i probably wont play it

Seriously, I too have lost interest in STALKER. It looks very cool, potentially better than HL2 as a single player game, but I am just going to wait and see what actually happens as oppossed to going off hype and endless previews.

Yeah they announced it too damn early.
It got to the public which means they'll have hands full on PR only...

They could have better recruited a damn lot of alphatesters which should have signed an NDA and announce it later on...
Or you could better not announce it at all...

Regardless, I still look forward to this even though the game itself becoming more dated by the years. Graphics won't compensate for an original storyline, which is why people are still religiously following this game throughout its development. Personally, I've always found the premise of a "post cherynobl" environment to be pretty compelling, and should make for a suspenseful FPS.

Yeah though the graphics are still amazing IMO, especially for that scale!!!

I also like the physics, powered by de Open Dynamics Engine, which seems to be better than Havok 2?!?!?

Anyway, the gameplay is amazing! I hope they'll improve it and get rid of the bugs I didn't notice at all...

[Polygon]

I think mainly, the problem was with the single-player scripting, we'll see how that turns out.

[Xendance]

I'm still hoping that the weapon sounds and the whole sound system is better than in the videos. I mean, those sounds sounded horrible.
