A recent
GSC Game World Community Q&A (thanks
FiringSquad) answers a question about online play in STALKER and raises the
possibility that they might create an MMOG based on the irradiated
shooter:
2. Will there be S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Online?
We do not quite understand what you mean by "online". If it is the cooperative
mode, then no, there will be none. Even at the time of development of the first
part of the game we said that a cooperative mode is impossible, since Life
Simulation would be different at each computer. Synchronizing it would be
practically not doable. If you mean an MMOG, then we are seriously considering
it.
