S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Coming To Consoles?
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of PripyatOne of the more critically acclaimed and popular franchises on PC, it might go multiplatform in the future.
After S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl debuted to solid reviews, GSC Game World followed up with two more - Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat - and unsurprisingly, they're currently preparing yet another installment. This time, however, it might be coming to multiple platforms: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was recently announced and apparently, it's going to benefit "from an all-new multiplatform game engine that's being built in house." Dubbed "the next chapter" in the franchise, it now appears as if this true sequel will be available for several major platforms when it releases in 2012. The question is whether or not console gamers will be interested in the series; it's pretty well-known amongst PC gamers but those who don't normally play their games on a PC might be indifferent. Then again, if it drags in high review scores and plenty of recommendations, more consumers stand up and take notice.
We'll let you know if S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 ever gets officially confirmed for the PS3. If it does, we'll bring you the details.

It should have a wide-open environment, NPC's should not only interact with you, but also other creatures/NPC's in the environment (mutated packs of dogs/rats/other can ravage basese), incredibly erratic weather, and a very gloomy feel to it. Combine that with tons of weapons/ammo types, creatures, loot and a pretty interesting storyline, yeah it's a great game.
Totally psyched for this!!!! Mebbe they'll even figure out a way to get some mods on consoles for this one. There are some amazing mods for SoC and CoP.

the cells equivalent to a q9500 which is a good 2 years old!
the RSX closest PC relative is a 7 series GPU which is 3 years old!
any decent gaming rig would wipe the floor with the ps3, my computers fairly basic even with my new 470GTX card but it will still kick the crap out of any console out there!
developers are to freaking lazy to create games for PCs because than that would mean allot of cuts.
if they made games for PC, half the features would have to be cut because they wont work on consoles.
so instead they create games for consoles than port them across to PC, which is why DX11 cards have been out for ages and very few games support it!
as crytek said if its not compatible with consoles its not going in the PC version.
thats why i was disappointed when they announced crysis 2 for consoles, and thats exactly why im disappointed stalker is also going to consoles.
the PC has so very few exclusives, the last thing we need is more to disappear!

But if it's good, I'll keep one eye open for it.
Just got to get more details & a good look at it first(guess I'll mosey over to youtube & see if there's any vids on the other games in the series).
