    Maybe cause it isn't the zone? It's a different game, different setting, different story. Only thing these games have in common is post apocalypse but even that happened for different reasons.

    Anyway they seem to have a surprising amount of work done already. I'm still keeping an open mind.

    And by the way guys, ITS FREE to play, meaning you don't have to BUY it. You can play it without putting up any money.

    Looking amazing actually... I wish there was an online Stalker game - dedicated servers, freeroam and all (I know there are mods but still) and this is great news.

    Now to finish off the Stalker Trilogy before it comes out... Need to find mods first. :D

    Thy do have the same places that Stalker had.
    So they have in common the same places, at least some of them.


    Free hein?
    Oh well why not.

    Free to Play is usualy a clear sign of failure. its the typical "pay 5$ for your ak-47" game.

    the idea of a survival based mmo has been on my mind forever and i always hoped for a game based around the atmosphere of stalker or some zombie game. unfortunatly free to play is going to make it a microtransaction game. if you invest time and you end up getting to a point where you have to pay in order to advance, a game is just not interesting for me anymore.

    i would rather pay a subscription and be offered constant content updates and the opportunity to advance without microtransactions then a f2p based game.

    This would actually kill all the atmosphere and immersion.
    STALKER is to be played solo, on your own, as a lone wolf.

    Imagine a server full of underage idiots bunny-hopping through the zone while spamming the radio AND chat log.

    In Stalker -Clear Sky, it was about faction wars and mods greatly emphasized this gameplay mechanic. So online would make it a great team survival game actually. MMO with persistence would make it a big macro game - to see which side(s) take over and influence the game play. Think of the modded economies where you must scavage to get money or to trade for new items.

    Also, you can still solo, just like DayZ mod for ARMA2.

    I've been playing ARMA2 free, and that island is freaking huge.

    Imagine if the entire zone was fully accessible but you're on your own or can team up with updated realistic weapons ballistics and physics, and not the arcade physics like in CoD or BF. Then there are the mutants and maybe add in other threats. Can be an incredible survival horror.

    I hope they can pull off a good one. I was extremely disappointed to hear about S2 dying, and possibly L.A. dying.

    At least there are a ton of mods out there for the three Stalker games.

    Officially, L.A. is going strong.
    I really hope it'll stay that way, since i'm more hyped for L.A. then i was for Stalker 2.

    This really isn't the spiritual successor to STALKER, if it were it would have at least a singleplayer component

    Yeah this won't be able to be much like stalker, but I'm pretty interested in an mmo with proper skill-based shooting mechanics
