Ex-S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Devs Start Work on New MMOFPS

[Kahani]

It does seem like kind of a natural fit given the games Bethesda is known for, but I agree, if it's not developed by a Ukrainian studio, it just won't be the same. A STALKER game by a major Western studio? I just don't see that happening.

Now what would be hilarious is if Bethesda decide to make it into a top-down, turn based tactics game, just to mess with all the people who complained about them turning Fallout into an FPS.

Seriously though, if it can't be done by the people who actually invented it, Bethesda has to be the best second choice. As for the MMO, it's an interesting idea, but most of the feel of Stalker was that you were pretty much alone the whole time. Even when you interacted with people, it was as a wanderer passing by with no real connection to any of them. I don't see that working very well with the "MM" part of "MMO". I guess we'll have to wait to see what they come up with, but I'm not going to get my hopes up too much.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 cancelled.. It would be a /wrists situation if we didn't see it coming after the studio closed; so at least we were prepared.

And now Survarium is one to watch. It may not live up to the fans' celestial expectations but at least there is nobody better qualified to be working on it, right?

A Stalker-ish MMOFPS? Better have a small player count per server, its The Zone after all, even 50 players seems to much.

this sounds like the closest thing i'm going to get to a fallout mmo. i'm in.

The mmo does sound cool. I'll wait and see what they come up with.

As much as I'm sad about STALKER 2, I've been thinking for a while that a STALKER MMO would be awesome. And now, looks like we are getting one. SWEET.

My friends and I wanted Stalker to have an open world multiplayer thing for a few years now, and this seems that it'll make it possible, finally! And as it's free-to-play.

Unless they expand the zone to the whole Ukraine.

Such is life in the Zone...
