There's been some rumblings lately, especially since GSC and
THQ missed an
appearance at E3 a few months back. They then promised to have a big
demo at Germany's GC 2005, another extremely shallow and
overblown example of the game industry. Of course they missed that. Now
stores all over the world are dropping preorders, for the first time in
three years neither GSC or THQ can estimate a release, and everybody's
been very quiet overall. Except, not surprisingly, the same old PR guys
(aka yes-men) who know less than you or I. The ever
optimistic Oblivion-Lost supposedly disspelled all
rumors S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was cancelled after
contacting said GSC yes man Oleg
Yavorsky. Indeed,
we are planning a later show of the game, and obviously will arrange a
special event for that. I don't know the details yet, but once the
'quiet' PR stage is over, we'll be shouting out loud about it, no
doubt. We are also working out the best steps to take to cheer up the
community a bit. Sounds familiar. Earlier
today THQ got right to the point about these
rumors."These
rumours are totally unfounded." OK, but
what happened to the multiplayer demo that is a year overdo? Or how
about the groundbreaking "world AI system" which we still haven't seen
or had confirmation it ever existed. Ladies and gentlemen,
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was cancelled and you know it. If
I'm wrong, who can honestly say they're still looking forward to
playing? So many features, including co-op. were cancelled. It's a
shell of a game that doesn't deserve any future attention.
