STALKER license acquired by bitComposer

Good news, the franchise may live on!

Part of me says nothing will happen...again. But I still have some hope we may get a sequel

Here's hoping they hire 4A, Vostok Games or heck even CD Projekt RED as the devs (they helped GSC with the first one).

All i need to know is that the series isn't dead. Whether the game will still be good or not is question but as long as I know the series isn't dead i have hope. Stalker is one of the best franchises on PC ever. IMO. I would go nuts if they came out with another. :)

Well it's good news and a glimmer of hope for the series :)

I just hope they can capture the same feel that the original games offered, that is assuming this actually means another game for the franchise.

I couldnt get into Stalker, I don't get why people love it so much.

Maybe now we can get a STALKER game that isn't buggy and repetitive.

What has bitComposer made in the past?

As long as they make a propper sequel and not a console game then I am happy. Thankfully BitComposer are a PC centric developer/publisher so I think the chances of that happening are slim.

Jagged alliance: Back in action

They also publisher for: Jagged Alliance: Crossfire and S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat

That's good news just for it being alive.

Let's hope they pick up STALKER 2 where they left off

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"] STALKER cant work on console it require too many keys and big inventory. unless they dumb it down with regen hearlth, removal of inventory and 2 weapons limit....SNIPER4321

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"][QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] Yeah the new owners probably realizes that keeping this franchise PC exclusive would be a misstake. Ofc they also need to make the experience smoother and less frustrating so that it fits modern standards. Sushiglutton

This is the problem. GAMES should not be play by everyone. its not movie/ Im skilledfull gamer. and most game ppls call hard are actually easy for me.SNIPER4321

I never played STALKER before, but I hear it's kinda buggy. But SNIPER tells me it's the best game ever made, I don't know if it is but if they made a console version I might check it out.

"UPDATE: RPS have spoken to bitComposer, who slightly clarify whats going on. The suggestion is that the rights are specifically for game adaptations of Strugatskys Stalker, presumably meaning the film/book based on Roadside Picnic, a book also by Strugatsky. That would mean that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games were still owned by former GSC head Sergei Grigorovich, despite bitComposer specifically using those games acronym affectation in their press release." :xJuggernaut140

So in other words they're allowed make similar games but not continue with STALKER 2? :?

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"][QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] Yeah they should remove a lot of those keys, they just make the game clumpsy. Games are supposed to be fun, not like work. I think the Stalker franchise will be reborned on consoles, better than ever!

This. Woudln't work there, and they'd have to butcher the things that make it great

I have mixed feelings about this news. While, yes, getting a STALKER game would be great but have you guys played Jagged Alliance (which is also another IP bitComposer bought)? On release it was a glitchy mess with all sorts of missing/confusing texts. What's worse is bitComposer basically refused to talk to the community and listen so a lot of the problems still persist in the game despite multiple patches. In fact, I think it's basically been the modding community that is fixing a lot of the bugs and stuff from Jagged Alliance. So you guys might consider this a blessing that bitComposer didn't get the IP for STALKER.
