In the Volition thread (that was closed), you guys mentioned that Red Faction 2 was the last PC game by THQ. Well, in case someone hasn't told you already, They are publishing the awesome-to-be S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl. So don't lose hope, because that game will match Half-life2's graphics, and the gameply sounds sweeeet.  So maybe THQ will consider another PC game. After all, STALKER was completely independent, so it had the same potential as a freespace sequel.

Man, I can't beleive you guys heavent heard of this!

This is going to bloody rock! Not only because I work at a GW, but to finally see a game that actually does Warhammer 40k justice, brings tears to my eyes.

THQ seem to have looked at the blindingly obvious evidence that to be succesful in the PC market you just cant try and make them like console games.

If you look at the fall of Interplay which really ****ed up when they decided to make console games and make pc games like console games THQ have done the opposite. I just hope it pays off with their big 2 pc titles being hits.

hrm... if the above titles do well, who knows, volition might rise again to work on PC-Only projects.

[Nix]

Despite being delayed till the fourth fiscal quarter in the US, STALKER will be a kick butt game.
Now, does that mean it's around the corner, or we'll have to wait till next summer?  I think right now is the start of the 2005 Fiscal year.. I think, though I'm probably wrong.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R gonna rock it's looks awesome I hope they get it out w/o major bugs

You assume that Volition would want to..........

[Mr Carrot]

Stalker is pretty much finished the delay is to maximise sales.

i said might

the words "if" or "might" may be small, but they can carry a lot of wieght down with them with the possibilities.

Ya know, if STALKER is going to fail I don't know what game would work. It looks awesome, the physics engine seems great, the screenies are fantastic, and the story is more then OK.

I just hope they get the translation better done than that on the website.

[kasperl]

That would be rather nice.

Or they could include a "Learn Russian in 24 hours" thingy with each game, for realisms sake

[Cniinc]

Dude, if STALKER had Russian, they'd better have both subtitles and an English dubbing, because either way works, but having neither (or having both really crappy, like some ANIME), is just wrong.

BTW, someone brought up a really good point. Even if V did FS3, it wouldn't be the same V as the guys that did FS2. Heck, what if most of them are gone? that'd be no different than any ol' group writing it, right? RIGHT?

What do you guys think? (PLEASE don't flame me, i like my @ss)

[Kosh]

Hopefully it won't get Freespaced.

Freespaced? whadya mean?

[StratComm]

Freespaced.  v.  (frē-spāst)
1) To deliberately downplay, neglect, or otherwise sell something short of its potential.  2) To under-advertise a product because someone decided it competes with a more crappy product when it in fact does not.  3) To publicize in a fashion like the game Freespace 2.

[Corsair]

Well, there's hope yet. Don't get pessimistic so soon.

Finally I have a replacement for Amigaed

I actually remember another game that exact same thing happened to. It was called Star Control 2. It was an excellent game. The sound and music was amazing considering its age.
