Wow, weak bans on those guys...
OT: I like the look of this, a lot of games with this falloutish theme it seems.
I saw a TV shown on the Moscow subways and how it was a huge WWII bomb shelter. I hope this isn't one big Fallout 3 subway game.
Some info on the Book the game is based on.....

The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. The half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend.
More than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earth. Rusted railways lead into emptiness. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. Man's time is over.
A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. It is humanity's last refuge. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy incursion. It is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for dreams, plans, hopes. Feelings have given way to instinct - the most important of which is survival. Survival at any price.
VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line. It was one of the Metro's best stations and still remains secure. But now a new and terrible threat has appeared. Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, is given the task of penetrating to the heart of the Metro, to the legendary Polis, to alert everyone to the awful danger and to get help. He holds the future of his native station in his hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Not every ps3 owner has a high end PC and PC isn't a console, that's why this game is an exclusive for the xbox 360 (on the console market), I don't know why in hell this is hurting so much some people... what is the problem? Can't you act like an adult/real gamer?
About the game... oh well.. the concept is very good and looks promissing but I need some footage.
| loves2splooge said: These games are not exclusives. But considering how well Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 2, Gears of War 1, Mass Effect, etc. sold for the 360 compared to the PC, does it really matter? It's clear that most gamers like to buy the 360 versions and don't want to buy the PC versions (note the key word "buy"). |
Left4Dead sells better on PC, just not the retail version (the majority of L4D PC sales are on Valve's own service Steam), i'm not sure about Mass Effect, but you're right as far as i know on the CoDs and Gears 1...
But even if you're right on all games, what does that have to do with the fact that the game is on both platforms??, ok, one is a console and one is not (and BTW, PC is not a console, but consoles are looking a lot more like PCs these days), but that's irrelevant, if i own one of the 2 platforms that it's available on, then i can buy it, and that defeats the meaning of the term "exclusivity"...
Same applies to FFXIV, DC Universe Online, World of Goo, etc.

Saying that not every PS3 owner has a high end PC has nothing to do with the fact that the game is available on PC... If you specify that in the console market the game is exclusive to 360, that's one thing, but saying "it's 360 exclusive" means that it's only available on the 360, counting every plat...
And the term "it's a console exclusive" just means that the game is exclusive to consoles, then by pure logic:
-The game is exclusive to consoles
-PC is not a console
-Then, the game is not on PC
So the term "console exclusive" loses its meaning when it's referred to a game available on PC.
The trailer makes the game look good so I'll keep my eye on it. But i'm not gonna get too excited cause it will most likely not be that great of a game.

Another thread derailed because of the PC exclusive crap. If you are going to argue if it counts if it comes out for PC make a new thread. I am sick of threads being destroyed by people beating the same dead horse over and over. This thread was supposed to be about Metro 2033.
