STALKER 2 has gone GOLD
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
In the report it says they expect more sales on PC than on console, but not that it's more important.
Yeah, more sales. And that isn't being disputed. The devs behind Stellar Blade have said they expect more sales on PC, but that doesn't mean console wasn't any more/less important to the devs.
stalker 2 will come to playstation when it comes. could be half a year, could be longer, could be shorter. Also Microsoft helped them out a ton, money wise and resource wise. The game should make their money back just off xbox and pc alone. Playstation is a bonus. Nobody is saying it will release the same day or month as gta 6. It just needs to sell before or after gta 6.
Stalker Blade. Makes sense considering the titties.Oh I thought this was the Stellar Blade thread
I didn't know Microsoft help fund the game outside of their GamePass check. You got a source on that?
The longer they take port the less sales will be almost certainly. People will have moved on to other games which is why they won't take a year. This isn't GTA or CoD in terms of brand value, not even close.
Another reason Starfield will underperform when it's ported. Waiting 18+ months kills any momentum it might have had.
The Stalker audience is not the GTA audience and past games in the series kept their community for over a decade through mods and love of the game. Your bitterness over it seems as much driven by the studio's ethnicity as a lot of posers who never played the original's love of it is.

One of the pr leads at the company stated they helped out in situations they didn't have too. That means resources or money or both. They 100 percent helped fund the game. This game probably would of been canceled if it wasnt for Microsoft, or the scope would have been dialed down dramatically. Like i said, the people who want stalker on PlayStation will get it. It will come some time next year. my guess would be summer.
I don't even think it would have begun development without MS since GSC had been shut down for years prior to them announcing Stalker 2 at whatever that MS event was.
Seems like a massive reach to say they the helped fund it. Certainly they didn't pressure them to get the game out (though I'm not sure how they could really do given they aren't publishing), but there's no evidence they funded development which is what I expected as I hasn't heard anything. I'm guessing tech support alongside the caring stuff.
Expanding on this, Bocharov adds that he personally "never expected a corporation of this size to be so supportive." He adds: "I can't say the exact cases, but they helped in situations where they were not exactly supposed to. So they could easily [have said], 'No, that's not on us. That's with you guys. Good luck. Figure it out.'"
They helped in situations that had nothing to do with them. Meaning resources or money. GSC World has been saying constantly that Microsoft was a tremendous help to the game.
Yeah tech help more than likely. I read the article, no evidence whatsoever the game was funded by MS.
The GamePass guaranteed money probably took some pressure off internally though.
they gave them extra help when they didnt need to. Money or resources. or both. Like i said they helped fund the game.
Look at you defending exclusivity because MS "helped".
Sony also helped Square a ton for years. The outrage did not died down at all because of it. They actually attacked Sony and got even more angry.
I'm very curious if we will get the same sales obsession from Zhuge, Scatella, Dring etc

I thought he wasn't lying. Apparently he is.
Completely making shit up that Stalker is funded by m$.
This is just gamepass deal. Other thing is - just sending few devs to speed up the port to Series S, bacause it is a garbage console, and they don't have to do it.

you got to learn to read between the lines. If it was just simple sending devs to speed up development then they would of said that. Even larian said that Microsoft was sending devs to help with the series s port for baldur gate 3. Its obviously more then that. They said they helped out in ways in which they didnt have to. The PR manager declined to speak more on that. So you know it was substantial. Also i said they help fund the game, not fully funded it. Big difference. I mean yeah, they didnt come out and say yeah Microsoft help fund the game, but if you basic comprehension, you can see they clearly helped make this game come to life. But since its not outright stated, you can disagree. But for me, there is more then enough evidence for me to believe that without Microsoft, this game probably looks much different or doesn't come out at all.
