See two minutes of Metro: Last Light's E3 demo

We know that not all of you have played Metro 2033, which, despite its problems, is still one of last year's best games. We get it. There are absolutely some janky flies in that otherwise delicious soup, and some of you just don't have a strong enough stomach. It's fine.

But after watching the above two minutes of pre-alpha gameplay (the first in a three-part series) from follow-up Metro: Last Light, it looks like this may be a stew that you won't be able to resist slurping down. Just look at the physics when Artyom shoots the pot! You can practically feel the soup sloshing out of it!

In closing, who's ready for lunch?

Hope they continue from the enlightened ending

They won't, the enlightened ending isn't the cannon ending

@MightyRunner You're right, it isn't the cannon ending, but it definitely is the canon ending.

looks cool

cant wait. i said it before, but, there was nothing wrong with metro 2033's shooting mechanics. people are just so used to CoD and dont realize that when your barrel is a 1/4 to one side, it translates into a few feet when you shoot at something 10 feet away.

@i am a guy

agreed big time. this trailer blew my mind.... i love how they're making it even more realistic while still making it look like a blast. btw, to anyone that is going to play this one or 2033, go into the Options menu and turn off the reticle and the HUD. it makes it a bit harder to play, but makes it feel WAAAY more realistic. after turning them off, for me the game went from being really really cool to one of my favorite games to date.

@i am a guy

agreed. i never had a problem with the combat like so many other people because headshots still always took down enemies with a single bullet. the most complaining i heard about the game was aimed at how you could pump 5 or so dirty bullets into an enemy and not kill it. i'm pretty sure that was an intentional game design because in the Metro 2033 universe, given the scarcity of ammo left in the world, dirty bullets are filed down to be only about a 1/4th as powerful as normal, while the gold bullets you rarely find lying around (that are also used as currency) were like real bullets, and much more powerful when fired from guns.

meh, haters gonna hate i suppose.

@broken 4th wall

couldn't agree more, old bean. well stated.

Give metro 2033 a PS3 port and ill play it

It'd look nice bundled with the second game.

@McPo i second this notion.

@Pure Black World Tendency

Itll probably happen.

2033 was an excellent game. Pretty stoked for this

Looks pretty good. I wonder if this footage was taken from the PC, or console version

@Ramen of Doom Judging from the "start-then-suddenly-stop-on-a-dime" aiming that is consistent throughout the whole video, I'm gonna say console.

@YimYimYimi

I played the entire first game with a 360 pad on the pc so that argument is debatable. With that said, I believe they would be using the pc version so far as its much quicker to utilize new builds and quickly throw things together. I'm sure they could do that with a 360 sdk but its an extra step.

@DV8ing1

I used a controller for it too.

I hate the "start-then-suddenly-stop-on-a-dime" movement that comes with using WASD.

Graphics look good, but kinda weird no one seems to notice or care that all the lights are going out...

i had a chubby for this game, but now im rock hard.

I finally beat the game on my PC, one of the most beautiful and atmospheric games I've ever played, though I was playing it at maxed out, ultra-high settings.

@nerdydesi1
You must have one heck of a computer to play that maxed out! I have a gtx580 and to get a consistent 60fps@1080p, I had to turn tessellation and advanced depth of field off, and reduce the overall settings to high. Granted if you are ok with 30fps I probably could have kept that on, but I prefer the smooth gameplay 60 gets you.

@DV8ing1 i7 920 overclocked to 3.60ghz and dual GTX 480s in SLI.

@Justin have they totally abandoned the scarce ammo idea? This guys is probably wiping with bullet shells.

@hartkid Nah, they probably had infinite ammo and health turned on to showcase the tech and stuff.

@hartkid

Casings

@hartkid

to be fair though, dirty ammo wasn't all that scarce in the first game. i played it on normal and i never felt underarmed.

More like Metro: No Light

Looks good though!

Sweet. The only problem I have with 2033 is the combat. So, hopefully it works out a lot better in this one.

absolutely adored the first game even though it was incredibly flawed. What I'd like to see is more focus on stealth and melee battles then the ammo scrounge. I realize the scarcity of ammo makes it more intense. But I just don't like to be annoyed by such things.

If it's not Call of Duty, it's not a true shooter.

@leemahi

go back to your bridge

@leemahi

shows what you know about shooters, since the very first Call of Duty came out only 8 years ago. then again, you probably only started playing Call of Duty since #4. i believe you are what people like to call a "n00b".

metro 2033 I thought was a really good game for a companies first game. It brought something different to the FPS genre and didn't use the typical modern war scenario.

It did have its problems from time to time but they can be overlooked as you know you learn from your mistakes and I'm sure they have, that's why Last Night looks pretty damn sweet.

I can honestly say I'm looking forward to this game. well done on their part.
