[Twitter] Bethesda STALKER rights false! - Page 2

So let me get this right: The orriginal developers of STALKER work for another company called Vostok games, and they are developing a game called Survarium (an MMO) which is not just Chernobyl but surrounding areas. While the STALKER IP belongs to GSC and there are issues revolving around obtaining this IP, and the project is now on ice.

Now onto those who are bashing Bethesda: I disagree. Bethesda may not make the most solid games, but Skyrim and Fallout 3 where great games (especially FO3 NV, but that was Obsidian). At least thanks to comapnies like Bethesda, we have less Call of Duty knockoffs in the market, which might I add, are not orriginal and or even entertaining series (sorry to those who like them).

If the STALKER name drops but they continue to follow its path like in Survarium, I can deal with that. Although, it will follow a different story which I am kind of scared about. The whole story surrounding Strelok or his adventure into the NPP is what made it very interesting. To add to that, was the mystery that surrounded various areas in the game (which unfortunately never made it into the final release), like the Dead City, or the second NPP.

If Bethesda got the title, it may not entirely be like the orriginal STALKER, but I trust they would stick to the main plot of the story, like they did with Fallout series (they made their adjustments but kept most of the right factions and stories). And this is what I would want, rather than having the series just die and I am left in the cold as to what will happen next.

they havent done a very good job with skyrim nor fallout 3 in some people's eyes (like mine). plus if their current trend of "streamlining" is any indication of anything, if they actually did have stalker and made a new one, you can bet it wouldnt have all of the elements in the game that made STALKER the series it is.

I ask myself the same.

They had a legal dispute with Notch over Scrolls name, and they shifted the Fallout series into a more TES-esque game... But is that to be angry about? Honestly I love the new Fallouts. Partly because I'm a TES junkie

@codublejj: The problem is because he tried to sell them. He isn't legally allowed to make money out of that, because he does not own that logo. It's basic law, man.

I don't feel it was 'right' either because come on, it's some lighters to friends, but they're legally entitled to do it, as the guy is making money with something that doesn't own. I would've been clever and asked them a few beers in return, instead of money

Confirmed since then, Stalker 2 is dead and buried.

The proper way was probably doing an FPS oriented Fallout, which I love, and then keep the isometric Fallout style aswell, which I love too

Fallout 3 & New Vegas were better than the originals in all ways, including characters and story telling.

Agree. The storyline was amazing on FO3. Haven't explored NV in depth like I did with FO3, but it's good, too.

But the isometric system of the original Fallouts is something I'd like to see again.
