Metro 2034 revealed by THQ's Bilson
18
4A Games' Metro 2033 came out under the radar, but quickly became a sleeper hit with Joystiq staff, what with its heavy atmosphere and mature, bleak tone. So, as you could imagine, the announcement of a sequel in development makes our hearts glow as if they were just hand-cranked by a post-apocalyptic Russian.
In discussing the topic of 3D gaming with CVG, THQ's Danny Bilson said, "We're going to be doing a 3D version of that on Metro 2034 - the sequel. And there will be some engineering costs there, but that's in our lowest cost centre in the world."
Okay, so maybe we could do with a little more fanfare accompanying our game announcements, but there you have it.

Nice.
This is definitely on my 'to play' list, as soon as I can find it for a decent price.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze If buy it through the THQ pack on Steam it's very cheap and you get a ton of good games for $50.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Metro is my GOTY thus far this year. Amazing atmosphere and good pace. Yeah, its linear, but I like that most times anyway. Will buy day one, thanks THQ.

I'm loving this game so far, just got the Steam THQ deal, like 20 games for $50 including Metro 2033. Also love that this was the only game so far of that pack that actually runs really well. Saints Row 2 PC is so fail....Sorry off-topic.

There were two possible ending to Metro, which were radically different. Will the sequel take that into account? Also, I hope that they address the gameplay issues from the first one in the the sequel. That being said, aside from the broken stealth and questionable shooting, the game was great.

I weanna play this game but its a bit out of my price range with SC2 coming down the pipe soon. That said the THQ deal on steam is something everyone with $50 should jump on. Pile of games, including the Red Factions and this (which is listed at $50 by itself) for a very good price. It was very tempting.

Want this on 360, but I heard it was short, etc. so I wants a price drop >:

Good news. 2033 showed glimpses of being an exceptional game and is in a great spot to fix its weaknesses and have a really tremendous sequel. This and Mirror's Edge are my two hopeful bad-ass sequels...

The only thing this game was in dire need of was some better animation for the models. I played Assassin's Creed 2 right after and it really made me notice a huge difference in the models

Like others, I'm still waiting for a good price drop on 2033.

Sweet, looking forward to it.
I hope they improve the shooting mechanics, I mean it wasn't bad, but it was the least favourite part of the game for me, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing since the overall package was excellent.
Co-op please? I don't care for competitive MP.

This made my day! I loved Metro 2033, its one of my favorite games this year. I hope THQ adds co-op to the campaign.
