S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 hitting consoles?

Apparently on their dev site, they hinted at bringing the game multiplatform: "completely new multi-platform technology developed by GSC will make the core of the game."

How do Stalker fans feel about the new Stalker going multiplatform (If it does) Do you think they will dumb it down? Or do you think it will be good to get the Stalker series more popularity?

It will flop on consoles they said they're not softening the difficulty up so it won't appeal to the average console fanbase.

it might, but the pc version will still be the same game it was going to be.

Probably will be a very good game in PC and sell well, whereas in consoles will look horrid and flop, as Metro 2033 did in 360.

Maybe I'm naive, but I trust that GSC Game World know what they are doing. They can't afford to backstab sucha huge fanbase, and they have proven in the past that they don't simplify the S.TA.L.K.E.R. games despite of their popularity.

[QUOTE="jwsoul"][QUOTE="MassiveKaos"]Whats the logic behind this? From what i have seen hard difficulty has always been praised in colse games to the point that games with no story whatsoever (Demon Souls and Ninja Gaiden) are regarded as top class games just because of their difficulty.

Yeah right well stop playing on Easy then. They are not all easy give me a break man. Street Fighter 4 is hard on the higher settings or are you a Pro at that as well? How about Killzone 2 or Halo 3 on the higher settings not particulary easy are they. Oh youve never played them that's right.... Give me a break man really Stalker is no harder than most console games if i am honest and ive played every Stalker its just about learning the game. God on Stalker i can get Head Shots with Assualt Rifles from silly distances bullet drop big whoop. Stalker has its fair share of cheese bits as well take the last part of Clear Sky.

Im trying to think of ONE instance where the guards change shift on any of the Stalkers? Oh thats also present in MGS4 by the way and other games to boot. The Intelligent AI on Stalker is rather good tho ive had a bunch of Mercs pin me down then attempt to surround me. Lets be honest not many console games can boast that realisation of AI. Stalker dose have Chees tho like super Nades that fly to your face and explode perfectly timed on the Veteran setting RAGHH. jwsoul

I'll be able to snipe with a shotgun in Stalker now lolBDK-Soft

Well i hope they use cryengine 3 then, the ability to develop on 3 systems at the same time is marvelous.dakan45

[QUOTE="kieranb2000"][QUOTE="dakan45"]Hurray for more polish and better developing standards and more balanced gameplay with better compaign. dakan45

At the same time, developing for multiple platforms is less risky in the eyes of investors. They might get more money from them, a higher budget possibly means a more polished product. Im already happy with the amount of polish on call of pripyat though, so im not worried.

I still find that odd gs article artcle says "mulitplatform techonology" but doesnt even say consoles in the article.

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="kieranb2000"] I still don't understand how you can think that one small team making 3 games is going to result in more polished games than them making a single game.SF_KiLLaMaN

Note from mod - Because it involves multiple systems and the potential for debate about which is "better," this thread should be posted in System Wars. I have to close it here.
