It will hopefully be more like the original and not like the others

 

oh and shio 4 million sales across 3 games for one of the few good exclusive FPS/RPG series left on the PC doesn't really prove that PC isn't dead...

Considering that none of the Stalker games ever topped PC charts, It is a strong argument in favour of PC Gaming being stronger than ever.

Also, Stalker is the ONLY good FPS/RPG series today in any platform, yet it's only on PC. Consoles don't have any FPS/RPG hybrids. It came from an unknown independent developer from an under-developed nation, yet they made a high quality, multi-million selling product with no advertisement and a low budget. This can only happen on PC

I actually was talking about FPS AND RPG, not necessarily hybrids like Stalker, Borderlands or Fallout 3.

Also it's not surprising at all that none of them ever topped a PC chart considering 50% or more purchasers live in former Sowjet Union countries.

GSC is far from being an unknown studio. Cossacks series is quite popular among PC gamers at the time.

And given that STALKER was hyped as hell since 2001 it's no surprise it sold that well.

Ukraine isn't that under-developed either. Maybe the people outside of the big cities, but that has hardly anything to do with that dev studio...
