Bizz Buzz - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Delayed

[Jul 29, 2004, 7:49 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Ubisoft optimistic on full year despite slow first quarter (thanks Mike Martinez) reports some financials, and looks at the glass as half-full, while in brighter bizz buzz, THQ Announces Fiscal 2005 First Quarter Results reports a profitable quarter for THQ, where they suffered net losses during the same period last year (thanks Frans). They also report a shift for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: "The company announced that the new original PC title S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is now scheduled to ship in the fiscal fourth quarter in order to maximize its sales potential."

To followup, if you've been following STALKER's development the past few years you'd realize everything GSC Gameworld promised is turning to bullshit. With a keen eye you can see right through the numerous "gameplay" videos. AI will be its downfall.

This isn't the first time STALKER was delayed. The developers themselves predicted it would have already been released 2 years ago. A public demo was supposed to happen last February. Lots of features are being dropped on a monthly basis. The long hyped coop mode promising 32-64 player servers (a sort of lite-MMORPG) meeting the axe.
The fact is, the more they delay it, the more they hype and silently cut features, the more likely the game will suck gigantic ass.


And please don't mistaken this as a rant because they dropped coop. I most likely would never have played it to begin with. I've watched STALKER very closely since the beginning, and clearly see all the same patterns associated with over-hyped flops in the making.
