Looks very bad in my eyes.

Graphically or thematically?

The fact that theres basicly non to moderate info on the game still, the generic survival horror, MW graphics (boring), nothing new, bad russian accent guys vs monsters in the suers with basicly no scenery. That's why i think it looks bad. Low budget if you will.

Do you realise their is loads of outdoor stuff?

Also MW IMO doesnt look as good as this. The textures look better in Metro and the lighting is looking better to.

Honestly, imo, the monsters looks like they have Doom textures, very low res. And i haven't seen any out door gameplay. Ive seen some panoramic cgi type deal where they show the deserted city. Outside of that, im not sure where you've seen loads of outdoor gameplay? I sure cant find any.

Still though, i think it looks really low budget.

They are keeping outdoor under wraps. But the game has alot of gameplay where you go out into the aftermath. Official website confirms it.

I found this interview with one of the guys behind Metro 2033, and it said;

"games.on.net: Does your engine handle large open areas as well as the smaller tunnel environments, given that Metro 2033 is focused more on the claustrophobic environments?

Olez: Yes, it does. We primarily focused on the small areas because of the settings in the story, it’s not a fundamental limit of the engine. There are a few levels which are really big in Metro 2033."

A few levels = loads? ;) And though its not specified as outdoors or indoors, thats what i was refering to. Corridors after corridors with doomsday monsters. And the official website only has a trailer.. cant find anything real on what this game will be like?

....... on another note i found this aswell:

"games.on.net: This game is a cutting edge PC game. Was it hard to squeeze these visuals on to the Xbox 360 as well?

Olez: Yes and no. Xbox is a fixed platform, you have all the access to the hardware and you can do a lot of cool stuff way, way cheaper than on PC. So the Xbox’s graphics quality is not of a low quality PC, it’s actually better than a middle-range PC.

games.on.net: Have you had to disable any features for the 360 version?

Olez: There are a few things. We don’t have quite the performance on the 360. For example, local motion blur, where your hand moves and it has a trail – it can be done, but we’re left without performance if we do that. On the 360, you always have to run it with a guaranteed frame rate, within a certain budget. "
