[quote]Stalker is fun, but when they make it for consoles, the large open environments will probably be gone

No mate, thats what STALKER was all about, its a free roam RPG, they're not going to turn it into a linear shooter lol.
In any case, I wont care what they do with the multiplayer coz they've gone to consoles as well, as long as this new engine is optimised and the SP is as good as it has always been with the STALKER franchise, I'm getting it.
