THQ’sMetro 2033looks pretty damn promising, but it also looks strangely familiar. The post-apocalyptic Russian shooter very clearly takes some cues fromSTALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, and bears quite a few aesthetic similarities to games likeFallout 3andCryostasis. We spoke with THQ about the upcoming game, and the various comparisons thatMetro 2033has enjoyed since its announcement.
“I actually welcome these types of comparisons,” explains creative manager David Langeliers. “FalloutandSTALKERare great games and it’s flattering to haveMetro 2033mentioned in the same sentence. It also gives us an opportunity to point out how they differ — while still taking place in a post apocalyptic world,Metro 2033has an unique gameplay style and presentation that is completely different from any other game.”
Destructoid is checking outMetro 2033this week, and we’re really looking forward to seeing exactly how different the game manages to be. So far, the game looks like it could be an incredible story-driven experience and I hope it can stand out amongst those other terrific shooters.
