THQ searched high and low, and found a license that will allow the publisher to bring something new and unique to the gaming scene: a post-apocalyptic FPS. Metro 2033 is in development for PC and Xbox 360 and based on the novel of the same name by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky.
Ukrainian developer 4A Games' Metro 2033 is set in the subways of a ruined Moscow. You play Artyom, a young man who has never ventured outside of the Vault "Metro Station-City" to which he is loyal. His adventure takes him around the Metro system, home of other factions (some of which are hostile), and to the inhospitable above-ground world.
According to Amazon, a new English printing of the novel will be released in February. While we aren't certain that provides a time frame in which to expect THQ's version (currently slated for "2010"), it does mean that readers will be able to totally spoil the events of the game.
dam, one season(s) its WW2 shooters - now "post apocalyptic" wasteland shooter is the next unoriginal train to hop on for developers. (Fallout 3, Rage, Borderlands, this game, and so on...)
If we are going to be living in a Post-Apocalyptic future twenty-four years from now, everyone should start preparing. Also, for someone in the year 2033 to have never seen the surface world their entire life, they would have to be born pretty quickly. Anyone here just have a baby in Moscow? If so, make sure you name it Artyom. I don't care if its a male or a female.
Yeah I know Microsoft iz gay and they dont own nvidia, just sik of their 'the way its meant to be played' scheme, its annoying, i mean I have an ATI video card, The new HD5870 to be precise and it OWNS!!!! oh and I dont smoke lol, I just drank alot of V enery drink and i got a little hyper lol mmmmmmmmmmm....
at least it's a genre that will never get old, and it pretty much limitless in terms of video games. Post-apocalypse/Dystopian worlds will always be win in video games.
