If THQ’s post-apocalyptic, survival horror-ish first-person shooter Metro 2033 sounds familiar, it’s not because it kind of looks like Fallout 3 inside the Russian subway system. It’s because THQ announced the game way back in 2006 as Metro 2033: The Last Refuge. The game has obviously developed quite a bit since then (and gone from being a PlayStation 3 and PC game to being an Xbox 360 and PC game), however the basic story and structure seems to be intact: a catastrophic event has decimated the world, leaving the surface virtually uninhabitable, and forcing humanity to take refuge in underground metro stations.
Metro 2033 takes place in Moscow ten years after the world-ending event, and players assume the role of Artyom, who must venture beyond the walls of the metro station he has called home his whole life in an attempt to inform the remaining survivors of an imminent danger that threatens to destroy humanity. You know, light-hearted fare. Judging from the trailer, the game looks to feature a healthy amount of atmospheric and terror-filled combat and exploration, with some Bioshock-type horror elements thrown in for good measure.
Maybe it’s because I’m re-reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Road at the moment, or because I’m still thoroughly invested in Fallout 3, but I’m really pulling for this game to deliver the kind of engrossing and arresting experience it has the potential to provide.
Any preliminary thoughts on the game? Are you intrigued by the story, or are you over having to fight for humanity's survival in post-apocalyptic wastelands?

I hope it does well. It would be cool if someone did a title based on Nostratdamus
prophecy. I'd like to see a game where Russia and America battle a common foe.

I think it looks interesting. Post-apocalyptic settings seem to be popular these days haha
I don't mind though. I think this setting embodies the difficulty of survival with limited resources, and just plain freaks me out because this could potentially happen in the real world.
I just hope there aren't any giant scorpions in Russia.

Actually they are not doing it to PS3 because Russians play more on PC and Russians didn't have no experience with Playstation 3 hardware.
This game make developers from STALKER: Shadow of the chernobyl. They moved from GSC to 4A Studio.

Good decision to drop the PS3, I hope they take advantage of the extra cache and system memory on the 360

I think that it's cool that it showed very little of any actual gameplay, or the the fact they didn't even reveal an enemy in the game. Makes me more interested and not going "Oh, it's another FPS with a post apocalyptic setting." Though right now I can't see it being more than anything else that we haven't seen before, I do like the opportunity for pleasant surprises.

The trailer is nothing great but the story sounds pretty cool.
