I stumbled upon a fresh interview with Glukhovsky - he said that there will be ten computers on Igromir with a working version of the Metro 2033 shooter, and that it will be released for PC and XBOX in February 2010. Fully piece of interview about this lead under the cut.
among the registered 10 tickets will be raffled off for the exhibition “Igromir”, in the framework of which these lucky ones will be the first to play the computer game “Metro 2033”.
Fedor: So the game will still be?
Dmitry: Yes, the developers simply decided not to repeat the mistakes that Stalker had when the PR game started long before its release, for which the game was called “The Waiter”.Generally, if you start with the concept, the work on the game has been going on for four years already, the active phase is the last three years.According to the plan, the game will be released in February 2010 on PC and XBOX 360. THQ will be publishers, the story has something in common with the novel “Metro 2033”, but it will be different, invited Hollywood screenwriters worked on the script.They read a book translated into English, wrote dialogues, and I, in turn, translated them into Russian.It seems to me that when you play, say, in “The Lord of the Rings”, then in fact you completely repeat the adaptation with only minor changes.Therefore, such games are not interesting for those who watched the film, who are a big fan - no freedom of action.Therefore, in our game, the goals are, in principle, the same, the characters are the same, there is Artem, and Hunter, and Miller, and Sukhoi, there are adventures in the library, there are stations (but not all), but the plot is different.There will be a very rich action visual series, due to the fact that it is a closed space, the drawing will be an order of magnitude higher than in the same “Stalker”, where the spaces were open, and it was impossible to move around.Again, immediately after the release, the developers will proceed to the continuation, where there will be both new stations and new heroes.For me, stations and landscapes on the surface are very important in the first place.
