THQ has released more information on 4A's underground survival shooter, which is being made over in Russia. Here's what you're in for:
Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands.
In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age.
The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.
You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised Underground. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat. Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.
Features:
Metro 2033 is a gripping, atmospheric first person shooter experience powered by cutting edge technology to deliver incredible visuals. Witness the everyday horrors of a broken society living in constant fear.
Brave the darkness of the tunnels, where mutants hunt their prey and ghostly spirits lurk.
Explore the desolate city-surface, trusting your gas mask and rifle to protect you from a poisoned world and the creatures that roam there.
Steel your nerve and prepare to face the terrors that await.
isnt this more of a first person shooter than the rpg fallout 3?
it could be interesting as its based on a book that seems to be highly regarded. i think the biggest issue could be glitches and polish as it comes from devs that worked on stlaker i think but could be wrong.
I'd say it'll be more of an adventure title than RPG. Going around talking, collecting stuff using them in the propper time, but no leveling and skills and stuff. Much like Stalker.
The book had nohing to do with fallout apart from the obvious, and necessary similarities, that can not be avoided. Fallout is open world, this is claustrophobic. Fallout tries to be a RPG, Metro does not. Fallout is colourfull (relatively, and compared to this one), and just tries to be a mainstream fun title, while this will be dark, mature, and difficult(I hope).
