Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat were great and all, but let’s face it: they were basically STALKER 1.5 and STALKER 1.51. Also, for a while, we thought Call of Pripyat was just the Russian version of Call of Duty. Anyway, an all new frolic through irradiated, mutant-packed Mother Russia is finally on the way, but with one major caveat: it’s not a PC-exclusive anymore.
"After the official sales of the series exceeded 4 million copies worldwide, we had no doubts left to start creating a new big game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe. This will be the next chapter of the mega-popular game players expect from us,” said Sergiy Grygorovych, CEO of GSC Game World.
“Completely new multiplatform technology,” of course, is a double-edged sword if we ever saw one. On the upside, the game will probably receive a fresh coat of paint, which the series has been sorely in need of ever since about a year before STALKER came out. But shiny new tech means all kinds of kinks, glitches, and bears – oh my! Well, maybe not bears, but you get the point. So, for now, GSC Game World’s pegged the game for 2012 release. Let the frustratingly long wait commence!

I dunno, I bought the first one off Steam for like 2 bucks and just couldn't get into it. I thought the combat was pretty clunky. Should I give it another go or what?

You really didn't play this game if you thought it was anything like Call of Duty. If you was merely refering to the similar titles, then whatever. You still need to play

I'm really excited about this release. I loved the first three and the Complete mods made the first two fantastic. Hopefully they learned something from those.
