[quote]Late last year GSC Game World, known in the West as the studio that developed the STALKER games, returned from self-imposed exile. Today the studio announces its next title, Cossacks 3, a remake of their real-time strategy classic.
"We decided to do a remake of the first Cossacks with all its original gameplay,
Scheduled for release "this year, when it’s done" Grigorovich says, Cossacks 3 will include 12 playable nations, including France, England, Russia, Ukraine and Prussia/Austria. Each will have their own unique forces and structures. Coming to Linux, Macintosh and Windows PC, it will include 5 historical campaigns, as well as multiplayer.

This is pretty cool. Hopefully STALKER 2 is next.
Read the article, it's pretty interesting detailing the history of the company.
I used to play the first Cossacks quite a lot, loved the naval battles in the expansion.
Yes! Need more black powder era games. Good to have a modern release as well. Love the Cossack games.
oh my god yes
new American Conquest please too
A bit weird to call it "Cossacks 3" when it's supposed to be a remake of the first one.

Better than just naming it "Cossacks" like most studios probably would do.

"Cossacks: some subtitle" would have been better.
God who cares about the title, I can't wait to have HD marching bands.
Oh my sweet jesus, YES!
Eh, they're not really the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs anymore. Most of the important people who worked on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. went to Vostok Games or 4A. Sergei just wants more money

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out because they still have the IP.
New AI ffs please.

They've changed devs several times. Some that worked on soc did not work on cop. But somehow their games turn out good.

There were barely any people who worked on S.T.A.L.K.E.R through the entire development
Even the people who worked on STALKER barely worked on STALKER.
I loved the original game when I was a kid, but I stopped playing RTS games a while ago, too much time consuming :(
FUCK YES! I loved Cossacks soo much. We played it at LAN all the time when I was a kid. Fuck yes!!
Screw that Age of Empires 2 noise, Cossacks was the SHIT

Cossacks: Revengeance
[quote]"At that time, the quality of discs printed in Russia was rather low," Grigorovich said. "At high speeds they just exploded in the drive. Since the game was protected by a DRM system, and required a CD to play, there were devoted fans who bought our game 6 times."[/quote]
:v:

Who cares, it's not like the stalker peeps were super talented or anything.
As far as whoever is going to develop stalker 2 has the fund to do it, it's probably gonna be good. I don't think it'd be worth it for them to change the formula too much and risk a failure. It doesn't take a genius to see why people love stalker.
A remake of the first game.. mother of the god I will be all over this for sure, now someone needs to remake AoE1 and I can die a happy man.
But seriously this is going to be like Starcraft 2 all over again. :dance:

The only devs that left who were actually successful were the ones who departed to form 4A Games. Survarium is a joke.

At least give it until freeplay release. That's like judging Star Citizen on the hangar module.
I guess it's time for an additional 900 gameplay hours.
i remember playing cossacks after installing it off a pc gamer demo disc. i had no idea the game itself bordered on near total insanity in how quick it goes (also, it's really fun)

The AI of the base game was fucking insane, even on Easy
