Summary
- Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl devs praise Xbox for support during development.
- The devs say that Xbox is helping them optimise the game for Xbox Series S.
- Xbox also hasn't enforced a release date, allowing the team to push back the game's launch.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is set to launch on November 20, coming to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X/S and PC. However, this is far from the first time it's had a release date, as the game has now been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:delayed five times over the course of its lengthy development 🔴cycle.
This is incredibly understandable. Developer GSC Game Word is Ukranian, so development was interrupted by the Russian invasion in 2022. Despite this, Stalker 2 stayed in development, something that the devs say was possible because of Xbox's unexpected support.
Stalker 2 Devs Say Xbox's Support Has Been "Spectacular"
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Speaking with us at Gamescom, GSC Game World's PR manager Zakhar Bocharov is full of praise for Xbox.
"Personally, I never expected a corporation of this size to be so supportive,” Bocharovs says. “I can’t say the exact cases, but they helped in situations where they were not exactly supposed to. So they could easily [have said], ‘No, that's not on us. That's with you guys. Good luck. Figure it out’.
“I never expected a corporation to be this close to the developers who are in a bad situation,” he continues. "It was spectacular. That's the professional connection we value a lot, because it would have been much different without them.”
Starfield's Creative Producer On Shattered Space, Mods, And Fan Feedback
Starfield's creative producer, Tim Lamb, 𒈔reflects on the game one year later, tel🍃ling us that Bethesda is its own harshest critic.
More specifically, lead producer Slava Lukyanenka tells me that Xbox is currently helping the team optimise Stalker 2, particularly for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series S.
On top of this, Bocharovs adds that Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond have be🍎en especiallꦛy supportive, with Bond being a fan of the game.
Of course, Xbox's management isn't always being praised like this. This console generation has seen its judgement questioned heavily as, much like other industry giants, the company has carried out mass layoffs.
Xbox also 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:shuttered four Beth♉esda studios e꧟arlier this year, including Tango Gameworks, who made the critically acclaimed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hi-Fi Rush. Another studio that was closed down, Arkane Austin, made Redfall, which was a failure for the company. However, the fact that Redfall launched in the state that it did in the first place led many to question Xbox's leadership.
Yet in the case of Stalker 2, things appear to be faring much better. The team tell me that Xbox has never enforced a release date, despite the fact that it has a deal to bring Stalker 2 to Game Pass on day one. With any luck, this means that Stalker 2 will be with us when it's ready.
