I'm down. These guys are my favorite underdog, and if it's free to play, I'll support them. With Tribes being as amazing as it is and Mechwarrior online looking to add some hot, juicy robot action out there, Im going to be optimistic abou this one as well.

I really can't get into freemium games they just feel...slimy to me. Unfortunate these guys won't be able to make a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 since they had a lot of great, but somewhat unpolished ideas for the originals. Hope this turns out well for them though.
Say goodbye? We never even got to say hello... Also, this sucks a lot. I don't see how an MMO STALKER can work considering the desperately lonely atmosphere was a key component of the games.
Disappointing on so many levels. Even this successor Free-to-play MMO does not make it okay or feel like an adequate trade off.
He was a good STALKER. Let's drink to him once more.

Bad bad bad news. To make this an MMO is about the worst idea I've ever heard. I guess
they're just trying to capitalize on the success had by all the other single player survival horror games that were turned into multiplayer and MMOs

Fucking free to play cunts. I loathe them so fucking much, but they make so much fucking money I can't blame them. Every company who wants money on the PC market has a F2P game, or a F2P version of their game.
Look at TF2, DOTA 2, LOL, Battlefield Heroes, WOW, SC2, or Diablo 3 for examples of money making genius. These cunts really know how to get money from people, and recent studies have 40% of all F2P players buying in-game items, pretty big considering a large chunk of PC games are pirated anyway. You can't really pirate a "free" game, eliminating that aspect.
Blizzard works on a little different aspect, and pulls you into the games first starting levels with limited options and gameplay, but forcing you to pay past a certain level after so many hours dedicated to it.
It makes sense, but I still think their cunts. I sack of moldy cunts who are putting their hard work towards a product which is inherently less of a game by design. Or they make items so powerful they are needed to play which are just for money. Like the buffs from wearing hats in TF2, I have my milkman which buffs my Scouts health by 25, which only happens when you wear the hat. Or my Crocodile hat which makes people unable to headshot me. I've spent 100+ on items in TF2, but now I think about even touching that game and I feel sick and depressed at how Valve has changed.
Valve dedicates so much time now on Dota 2 and TF2 instead of Half Life 3, F2P pieces of cunts which are like floating turds in my bowl of life.
These companies have turned into huge fucking moldy cunts with legs which walk around spewing their aids juice which is Free 2 Play all over us paying customers. Spraying it like a skunk spraying a cat in the face , and that cat is us Gamers. And it burns my eyes, oh god how it burns.

First Hawken, now this. Is there anything the F2P MMO trend can't ruin?
Do they not get that being *alone* is what made Stalker good and scary? Sounds like they are trying to make it like the faction stuff in Clear Sky - you know, the absolute worst thing about the absolute worst Stalker game.

It's a shame indeed.
I wonder how free-to-play model would work in a survival scenario. Part of the fun would be scrounging to find what you can, but will there then also be an option to buy what you need?

@ Jack8274 I have to admit that even though I don't really care about F2P, I both laughed and pitied you when reading that. So, yeah. Sorry for your pain, but at least the rise of F2P has taught you to spin the word 'cunt' into a single post in a way I'd damn near call 'poetic'.
When generic shite like Crysis gets a generic and shite looking sequel and this gets canned you know that there ain't no justice in the world.
@ ZeroDown
Seriosly GTOF Crysis2 was one of the best titles of this gen and it deserved those honors NOT sayin its better than other games BUT who said u wont have ur Stalker sequel its right there in article

I don't know I'm actually quite hopeful for this - hopefully they'll ditch the F2P model, but an actual good MMOFPS needs to be made.
My great-aunt died from cancer that was likely the result of exposure to radiation from the surrounding areas of Chernobyl. That link always drew me toward the first game...

I disagree with you on freemium games, since there are some decent ones out there, but I'm disappointed as well. As unpolished as STALKER was, I'm so glad I've started playing it recently because it's a unique game and it has some great ideas in there.
I'll remain skeptically curious about Survarium though.

As sad as I am about the odds of STALKER 2 ever seeing the light of day being that much lower, I am cautiously-optimistic about Survarium...
However, if they allow me to be a part of a science team, then I will be all over the game.
