Starwars Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 For those of you who haven't heard, Metro 2033 is a game being developed by some of the original developers on STALKER. There was a trailer/tech demo available sometime quite long ago now, and I always thought that looked pretty bad. But now they've released a new trailer and I must admit this kinda gave me chills: http://metro2033game.com/en No gameplay here, but they've got an excellent atmosphere going.

mkreku Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Haha, you beat me to it by one minute! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Starwars Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 I guess us Swedes are in a post-apocalyptic mood today. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Looks nice... Who wants to bet that it will be buggier than Clear Sky at release? Edited October 22, 2009 by Purkake
Morgoth Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Another cheesy Stalker-wannabe. How lame. Rain makes everything better.
Slowtrain Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hah, OK I just got excited about a game for the first time in 5 years. I'm already afraid it will just be a buggy barely functioning mess. But the possibilities are awesome. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Is there some sort of requirement that Eastern European games must be post-apocalyptic? It's not really all that original anymore. Hey look, some washed out colors and military dudes with gas masks!
vault_overseer Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) At least it's Ukrainians again, they can somewhat finish a game first time. If it was Russians making it - it would have been a guaranteed mess. Edited October 22, 2009 by vault_overseer

Hey look, some washed out colors and military dudes with gas masks! At least someone's doing it. I can't imagine having to rely on US developers for interesting games.

Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Other than the graphics, it didn't look particularly "interesting". There's a bunch of cool indie games coming from US developers, like Machinarium, for example. Also, it might be the most interesting game in the world, but if it corrupts my saves(Clear Sky, I'm looking at you!), it can be the most interesting game somewhere else.

Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 But are they post-apocalyptic? Probably all about gypsies and rubber hammers, rite?

Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Speaking of weird Eastern European games, what's the deal with Cryostasis? Didn't that look like the second coming as well? Was it horribly bugged?
Oner Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) But are they post-apocalyptic? Not one. Probably all about gypsies and rubber hammers, rite? Olah Action and it's sequel but that's a fan game and an FPS. Also, rubber hamme-?...oh.

jaguars4ever Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Whatever happened to that "Afterfall" or whatever it was called?
Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Whatever happened to that "Afterfall" or whatever it was called? This was what little I could find of it. Wasn't there another Fallout wanna-be that was released, I think the logo/title screen had a car on a post. And then there was one where terrorists loose some Mars terraforming machines on Earth and screw everything up. Any of this ring a bell? @Oner, I was referring to a recent news story. EDIT: The Fallout wanna-be was called The Fall: Last Days of Gaia and it was released in 2006 apparently. Edited October 22, 2009 by Purkake
Starwars Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 Cryostasis didn't look like the second coming ever, but it was a nice game. Main problem with it was terrible performance, but still. A good game. The Fall is a terrible game. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
J.E. Sawyer Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Very nice atmosphere. I wouldn't really compare it to STALKER, as STALKER was about a second Chernobyl disaster and not a nuclear war, like Metro 2033 (presumably) is. And while Fallout and STALKER are both post-apocalyptic/nuclear disaster, I don't really care if someone else makes a post-apocalyptic game. You'd have to really make a lot of post-apocalyptic games to match the number of fantasy games. twitter tyme
Oner Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 @Oner, I was referring to a recent news story.I'm actively avoiding politics. BTW the pregnancy story was different from what I heard (drugs instead of hammers and the politician didn't treat it as fact). Yay for mass media.

Aren't they both supposed to be s**t though?
Purkake Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 No clue about the terrorist terraforming game?
jaguars4ever Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Some things are best left unanswered, Purkake. Like whether your parents still get jiggy with it.
