Developers of GSC Game World are considering a console version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Image 1For those of you who've played the PC exclusive S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, you might be pleased to know that the crew at GSC Game World is considering a console version release for the game after its initial success.

Knowing the FPS nature, as well as the dark, post apocalyptic theme, the game would definitely look pretty sleek if it were transferred onto a next-gen console. GSC project manager Anton Bolshakov stated that they wanted to expand their market with their plans to move to the console. He had this to say on the matter:

PC game development is very traditional for ex-USSR and over 90 percent of gamers here play on PCs. However, we are pretty aware of the tendencies in the markets internationally and have been considering console development for a while.

 
While they have no definite plans just yet, they have been considering this option for some time already. Whether or not this will push through for the recent game or its sequel is still unknown, it's also unsure what platform exactly we'll be seeing their debut on.

Until they have any more news on the matter though, we'll just have to hang tight and see what GSC has under its sleeves regarding the matter.

Wonder if it will run as poorly as the PC version. They didn't even release a completed game, still patching and adding features that should have come with the game.

Your PC must suck if the game "runs poorly". The patches just fix bugs and stuff, and add a few new things. You must not know what a PC game is, because almost every PC game gets patches and fixes released. The game runs amazingly good on a nice PC and it should definitely come to consoles.

Ever heard of patch 1.1 which includes the unfinished freeroam mode? Its not out yet btw.

But, and I should have added this to my post above, I agree with you. Games are released and they are fixed with patches, but Stalker on the other hand was released as a mess which in some cases made the game unplayable. And it had nothing to do with my supposed crappy system, it had to do with the fact that I was using a DX10 card and using Vista, both of which totally unsupported and the game ran like crap and crashed every couple of seconds. It has since been fixed, but the sad thing is us modders fixed the issue far before THQ released the ported Russian patches. It leaves me angry to this day that we have to wait for the slow retards at THQ to release the patches GSC finished months before.

Yeah, I forgot that STALKER runs horrible on some systems, no matter how good they are. THQ sucks mah balls, I never cared for them. They always publish games that are made by awesoem developers, but they make the games crappier with their suggestions and whatnot.

I didn't like that game at all, but apparently many like it, so I guess it's a good news for PS3 owners ;)
