| Set to be one of the early blockbusters for 2010. Metro 2033 is planned for a release date in the first quarter of the new year. In a similar concept to fallout 3 where people have retreated underground to avoid a nuclear fallout. 2013 saw an apocalyptic event that forced the survivors to take up refuge in the Moscow underground system.
As you would guess living underground leads to a dark claustrophobic atmosphere. Everything is limited especially guns and ammo. So much so bullets are now the new currency when you find a clip you need to choose between the instant need for ammo or the long term plans for new guns and equipment.
Above ground is still toxic but does support a small amount of life namely crazed mutants. If you decide to venture up into the natural light you need to don on a gas mask these have limited amounts of air so you need to keep an eye on your air meter as well as the mutants.
The developers have set the bar high by naming Bioshock and Half life 2 as the inspiration for the world they want to create from early looks they seem to be on track. As soon as we get our hands on the full game we’ll let you know if they have managed to achieve what they have set out to achive. |
