Where in the hell is STALKER?

Did this game become vaporware or what?
I was HIGHLY anticipating this a long time ago, it sounded like the best of both worlds. A combination of Elder Scrolls and a cool military shooter like Operation Flashpoint or something.

I went to the official site: http://www.stalker-game.com/ and the latest entries were for fan art! Ugh.

I remember one of the PC gaming magazines using STALKER to show off the nVidia FX graphics cards. Do you know how many graphics generations that was ago? A lot!

Maybe it will come out someday and be the best game ever. I sure hope so. :\
 
Just did a bit of searching...THQ delayed it in February of this year, and GameSpot has the game listed for a February 2006 release date. But I believe the only official word is Q1 2006.

Thanks for your work. :)

And I agree, hopefully it will see a console release too.
 
The problem with games slipping their launch date is that they tend to look dated graphically when they finally get released. Daikatana was a perfect example. And when a team decides to go with a new engine cos the old one is dated it adds a few more years to the development cycle. DNF indeed

Stalker was supposed to ship in 2004
