GSC Game World recently revealed that they are “seriously considering” a MMOG based off the STALKER universe. This came out when they were asked about the possibility of an online STALKER title, though they ruled out the possibility of any cooperative multiplayer modes in the game.
“A cooperative mode is impossible, since Life Simulation would be different at each computer,” they said. “Synchronizing it would be practically not doable.”
The company noted that while Clear Sky, the upcoming prequel, will support DX10, the original game will not be patched with similar functionality. They also talked about the single-player SDK for STALKER, stating that it has been delayed due to the whole team working on the upcoming prequel.
A new patch for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has been released, updating the shooter to v1.004. The download can be found on 3D Downloads, FileFront, FilePlanet, Gameguru Mania and Shacknews, while full patch notes can be found on Oblivion-Lost.de.
The first S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky trailer is now online, showing gameplay footage from the upcoming prequel. Watch it below, or download from 3D Downloads, ActionTrip, FileFront, FileShack and Gamer’s Hell.
In development for over three years now, THQ has confirmed that STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl will be released sometime early next year.
Although no specific date was mentioned, gamers can expect to stalk Chernobyl during Q1 2007.
GSC Game World, the studio working on STALKER for quite some time now, has announced its E3 lineup which consists of only two titles.
Heroes of Annihilated Empires will make its public premiere in North America at the event. It will be displayed at CDV’s booth (#7007, Kentia Hall).
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, which most have forgotten by now, will be demonstrated at E3 after a whole year’s break. The press-only presentation will feature a live singleplayer demo that will be held at THQ’s booth (#1324, South Hall).
