STALKER cancelled?

[Feath]

I,know what you mean,but why doesnt the same thing apply to DNF?

Because the DNF developers are self funding, I don't think they rely on Publishers money.

 

[Jintor]

Who's making DNF again? 3DRealms? What was the last thing that they produced that was half-way decent (seriously, I don't remember)

Prey, Max Payne, Max Payne 2.

Hahaha, STALKER cancelled? I'll need proof thanks. This game is going to take a silver bullet to the heart before it goes down.

Indeed.

Prey, Max Payne, Max Payne 2.

They didn't actually develop the Max Payne games. If I'm not mistaken I think they even failed to finish Prey and now it's in development in another studio.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

They started work on Prey back in 1997 (I think), and then abandoned it. They resurrected it a couple of years ago and gave it to Human Head Studios to develop.

3D Realms haven't developed and released anything since Shadow Warrior (which was shortly after Duke 3D)

Er, what about Duke Nukem : Manhattan Project? Or was that someone else?

That is kinda worrying, 3DR have not managed to develop a game for the Windows platform.

To clarify the concerns of some fans regarding S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-related rumours to have appeared recently on the net, GSC Game World believes it necessary to explain the following:

1. The project is on the stage of beta approval and is being actively developed in close cooperation with the publisher.
2. The team has undergone certain reductions, particularly in the art section, due to all the graphics-related works being almost complete (out of 40 people 5 were dismissed). None of the leads, programmers and moreover, testers may not be reduced at any time.
3. Regarding the technology leak, none of the designers gone has the rights to the game’s engine (all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. technologies, including the X-Ray engine and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-2 engine belong to the company). Even if the current or next-generation engine would appear on the net, their legal use is impossible. GSC does not intend to sell its technologies in the nearest time, so as does not intend to postpone the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl due to rumours of that kind.

You are aware that those news are from January, and 'these' are from just a few days ago?

 

[mortiz]

It makes you wonder where 3DR are getting their funding from. Drugs? Prostitution? Circus monkeys?

Probably from the fact that they've turned more into publishers now than developers, and everyone knows you don't need any real talent to be a publisher.
