I'm worried that releasing a console version will end up ruining the game.
And we'll end up with loads of console gamers playing the dumbed down version, then complaining about the game not being that good (thanks to the dumbing down)/too hard.
Fallout 3 is a lighthearted comedy.Anah said:
Well, nearly.
This could be bad, very, very bad.
I really hope they dont feel the need to dumb it down for the console crowed. If they do dumb it down, the PC fans will reject them, the console crowed will love them, GSC sees that they got hell of a lot more money from consoles, abandons PC gamers. We the elite will then shed a tear for another fallen hero.

There, I fixed it. You're right. I forgot about that annoying console port feature that seems to find its way onto so many bad ports. I fear they will try and turn this game into something that the typical FPS fan would like, and that thought scares me - a lot.Sebenko said:

In a side by side comparison of Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Fallout is a fairy tale land with rainbows coming out of everywhere compared to walking out of the first base in S.T.A.L.K.E.R and getting raped by three patrolling army folks.Anah said:
As long as they keep it in first person, and don't use too much glue with it, I think a cover system could be really awesome in the game. The problem with cover systems is exactly when they glue you too strongly to the wall, making it hard to get out of. Rainbow Six Vegas' cover system felt good, but it's not the kind of cover system I want to see in a game like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., it should be something that just lets you peek around and over walls (and maybe keep your head behind cover in those situations where crouching just isn't low enough to protect your vitals), enable you to surpress enemies with blind fire (not accurate, just to keep the enemy at bay), and popping in and out of cover to make the accurate shots that count. Yeah, I'd want that.gonzo20 said:
Guys, Fallout and Fallout 2 were just as grimdark as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The third is for a third grade reading and comprehension level, but trust me when I say that the other games are not lacking in grittiness and hopelessness.
As for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 being multiplatform.... I feel bad about it. I really do, kind of like with how Metro 2033 had potential but somehow just squandered every bit of it, like the way the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series never did [squander their potential].
The easiest setting needs to be harder than the current Master setting, because anyone that plays it under Master anyway is a complete puss. I am curious how they [GSC] will be able to get A-Life onto a console without taxing the system too heavily since that system itself is a complete regional dynamic AI.
I want to have hope, but as long as its multiplatform that only means gameplay will be "streamlined" (dumbed down) and it will lose depth in not only story but would end up having to limit free play in order to keep the interest of a console audience.
EDIT:
The game's gunplay is fine, anyone that doesn't like it just can't get past the learning curve because of the fact that the guns use real bullet physics.

This isn't good. They better not dumb it down and turn it into a generic shooter with limited exploration and hand holding throughout the entire game. Sadly this has happened to Crysis already.
Exactly. I can't stand it when they eliminate the standard user-defined saved game feature that has been standard on PC games for over a decade in favor of an, "Autosave when you cross 'x' point or trigger 'y' event," feature. I like being able to choose how I play and save however, and whenever I choose. That's all there is to it.ReSpawn said:
Console ports NEVER let the player save their progress how and when they choose with any real measure of freedom, and I HATE that!
Should've seen the mutliplatform announcement coming, I remember when Clear Sky was first announced GSC also said that they had acquired rights to publish a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game on the 360.
"The Elite". Right, cause nothing is better than perpetuating the stereotype that PC gamers are the bourgeois of the gaming world while we console peasants revel in a dumbed-down, worse version of the game. cause we'd totally be okay with that. cause ya know, were console peasants, and were fine with a dumb downed version of the product.TheComedown said:
OT: Well, having played never played the first stalker for longer than 30 minutes, Im excited to see that they are considering a multi platform port. Just please, please, don't dumb it down for the console. we really aren't as thick as you all think we are.
You've got a point there. The difficulty should remain where it is, and maybe make the console version of easy equivalent of hard on the PC. That ought to scare the undesirables off...SenisterDenister said:
