GSC has promised thorough playtesting of the game this time, and so we hopefully won't have to wait through six patches just to keep the game from crashing to desktop every 30 minutes. This is to allow players to go back and to do any side-quests they might've missed on the way. The developers have stated that there may not actually be an 'ending' to the game, and gameplay may continue on forever far past the natural 'ending' of the game.


Now, here's a few things that we know about the game, and a few promises from the developers: The game is set to be released in the Autumn of 2009 and carries some pretty hefty system requirements, which should tell you about some of the massive graphical updates / engine work that GSC has been doing with their game. This announcement may be a little late, but ever since GSC has first announced a third title in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, the Call of Pripyat, more details have been released.
