Xbox Game Studios |OT3| Once more....with feeling (Part 1)

PR at GSC Game World was asked if S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 would be coming to PS5

Wonder if they acquired GSC Game Worlds

Crash 4 and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair are both amazing platformers (I’d even say that both are underrated). New Super Lucky’s Tale though is mediocre at best so those scores are too high for this game.

I agree about the Xbox tax but at this point I am used to it. Either way I loved the 1st game and the sequel looks great so I don’t really care about the Metacritic scores (as always).

They are based in Kiev, Ukraine and the recent conflicts with Russia might make Microsoft a bit weary :roll_eyes:

Don’t believe this at all, he just contractually can’t say the word ‘PlayStation’. It’s absolutely timed.

Could he not have worded it differently like say “we are concentrating on Xbox for now” or “we might consider more platforms in the future” :thinking:

Everything other than the location mirrors a lot of previous acquisitions like Obsidian and Double Fine.

Brian Altano and Mitch Dyer. Current and former editors at the always-excellent IGN. Altano in particular, is one of the hosts on their Playstation and Nintendo podcasts. Never been an Xbox guy.

Yeah exactly.

Usually they say “it’s coming to this platform” or something like that. And leaving the option open…

But here they specifically say exclusive. Really though, with these kind of things it can go all kinds of ways. Also, it’s not Xbox published like DR3, Ryse, SO…correct?

The STALKER Franchise has always been PC exclusive, and don’t have any history developing on consoles, so kind of makes sense to focus on PC plus Xbox as they belong to the same underlying ecosystem.

Historically GSC Game World is known to produce buggy games and Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl was a legend in that regards. So it would be better of for them to focus on few platforms.

I don’t get why they never released Halo Wars 2 on Steam. Halo 5 I can understand as 343 is busy with the MCC and Infinite but limiting Halo Wars 2 to the Windows Store was not the smartest decision.

Especially since HW2 is heavily tied to Halo Infinite’s story as it introduced Atriox and the Banished…

If Xbox attends E3 this year, they will likely have a conference on the 13th of June. That is 162 days from now.

163 days ago was the Summer Games Showcase.

We’re Halfway There (maybe)!
