Well, if it has the same problems as the first one I will be modding it heavily.

The original has become quite good with current mods. Check FileFront for my mod and a ton of other excellent ones.

Clear Sky LOL. Guess they couldn't name it Clear English.

Ironic timing - I finally decided last night to NEVER play STALKER again. Occured to me just how many hours I'd poured into this disaster of a game, and how little actual fun I'd had. I can see the appeal (obviously, I kept going back for more abuse) but can't understand how many fans/ apologists there are out there. Control is terrible, pace is terrible, missions are buggy more often than not, AI is flakey, conversation trees make zero sense, the PDA interface is the work of a deranged person... I could go on and on.

Now a sequel by *another development house*, that would be intriguing.

On the fixing/tweaking side, work's being done on the interface and the PDA (they need it), with AI receiving a general overall buff too to boost immersion along with physics.
I don't see any good reason not to incorporate at least some of these into a new patch for STALKER. Customer support is even more crucial for games like these!

eh?
I got bored... sold it. Not for everyone I guess. AI was buggy as hell... one moment you can walk up right behind someone without them noticing... the next they can apparently see you through a solid wall

rofl are you kidding me? the 1st version is buggy as hell, and they are already working on another version... no wonder it takes them 2 months to release a patch... seriously though there's so many bugs in the first version, especially the MP

Sweet, STALKER was one of the best games I've played in years. Let's hope that co-op makes the cut this time.

I was sure they would turn the sequel into an MMO, but I guess I'm glad they didn't... ...as long as co-op makes it in, it's just begging to be played alongside friends...

Considering the massive delays on the first one, the "early 2008" sounds more like a "some year starting with 20 and possibly another 0".

Can't wait, this game has really grown on me since I read a review months ago. I really like the atmosphere.

Great news. Easily one of the best games to come along in years. And with the additions from the mod community, it was even better.
