No console S.T.A.L.K.E.R. until Call of Pripyat releases photo

Don’t expect S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to grace consoles before S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat releases. In a recent conversation with fan site Stalker-Portal, GSC Game World PR boss Oleg Yarovsky made it clear -- in his native language -- that the PC sequel will hit first. “We think that whatever port of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for Xbox 360 won’t come out before the full release of the game’s sequel [Call of Pripyat],” he said. “At the moment, all are busy with preparing the PC version of the game. What comes after -- we’ll see.”

In addition to developing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for the Xbox 360, GSC Game World has plans to bring its title to a few odd and underpowered platforms, namely the Wii and PSP.

"We have become a developer not only for the Xbox 360, but also for the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii," Yarovsky revealed. "We've been also developing a prototype for the PSP, but currently there's not enough manpower to make our ambitions come true."

We’re going to go out on a limb here and guess there isn’t much of a market for a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. port on the Wii, but consumers have demanded crazier things before. Remember Tickle Me Elmo? Yeah, that totally happened.

Call of Pripyat is slated to release in October.

Only played the first game, but it predated the now-popular
FPS/RPG hybrid genre(along with Deus Ex)and was damn fine. Post
nuclear joy.

I loved Shadow of Chernobyl. I was always going to get this for PC anyway, there were some great mods for the original.

Cool I guess, but I want to see the Wii screen shots.

So wait, they're actually releasing a 360 version? Sweet.

The first game looked so awesome, but as with all other PC releases, my PC can't run Shadow of Chernobyl. Now I won't have to worry about that :)

Perhaps... upgrade your PC? If STALKER does ever come to consoles, I can't imagine how neutered it would be. Not on a technical level really, though yes it would be cut in that way, but mostly in a gameplay way. There is no way the game would sell on 360 being as hardcore and complex as it is on PC.

There's something incredibly refreshing about a developer prioritizing PC over console.
