Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Metro 2033 Impressions "good" not "great"

Hands-on: Metro 2033

To say that our first experience behind the controls of THQ and 4a Games' post-apocalyptic Metro 2033 was "atmospheric" would be a bit of an understatement. To its credit, THQ picked a pretty neat venue for its hands-on event: A basement room of a San Francisco nightclub that looked kinda like an underground bunker. Pumping it full of fake fog and live DJ tunes, though -- not the most conducive environment for seeing or hearing a game.

Still, play we did, and though we only got a chance to take in the first couple of levels, we're getting a good (note: we didn't say "great") vibe from what we'd actually classify as "first-person post-apocalyptic survival-horror."

Basically, they say it's good from what they've played, but right now it seems too much like a shooting gallery, and that they'll need to own a copy to decide for sure. There's more in the link.

All I can say is "Yay! Another First-Person Shooter Survival Horror Game"

Doesn't look that fun to me, but maybe that's because I'm tired of shooting games.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix! 

 

This game looks awesome..cant wait till it comes out =)



 

 

The atmosphere will surely make me love this game even if it's linear and repetitive.



Well it looks beautiful and has iron sights, so those are both good. We'll see how the rest plays out, it will be interesting to play a game without hearing over the top macho American or hammy British accents the whole time.

Graphically or thematically?

Long Live SHIO!

Looks amazing and is a day 1 for me. The atmosphere from the videos I've seen has sold me on this game.



 

You wanna have your opinion, then you have to respect different opinions as well.

 


Personally, the atmosphere reminds me of a more realistic bioshock. I wonder what the outside parts of the game will feel like though.
