Een with its faults, Metro 2033 was the best atmospheric shooter this side of Bioshock, and this looks even better. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Freaking awesome trailer. Metro was wonderful, this one couldn't have started off better. Great, great song.
It's going to have multiplayer? So it's getting the Bioshock 2 and Dead Space 2 treatment? Well, it's a good thing adding multiplayer to great single player games always works out well...
Wait a minute...

Sooo...is this still going to be 360 exclusive or should I relegate this one to the 'when I finally get a gaming PC' pile?
@ Drakengard,
"Sooo...is this still going to be 360 exclusive or should I relegate this one to the 'when I finally get a gaming PC' pile?"
360/PS3/PC. Of course, it's an FPS so it's pretty obvious which of the three you should play it on if you have the option.

I feel like the guy that's gotta go around and constantly wipe up peoples messes. I mean look at this.. this guy just made the most bizarro correlation...
Bioshock 2 wasn't made by what's now known as Irrational. If there's any failings to be had with that game (and I would agree, it sucked) it's because of that and because the game was a rush job.. and has nothing to do with a multiplayer feature. That's completely coincidental.
Dead Space 2 was a great game and I have no idea what makes you think it somehow was a failure. Maybe you didn't like it but that's definitely not the consensus. I didn't even try the multiplayer but that's besides the point. Having multiplayer sure didn't take away from the single player experience any, because the game was still a blast.

Or maybe it's getting the Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and Portal 2 treatment.

If the survival mechanics they intended to implement in the first Metro come through, I'll definitely check it out. That being said, don't include shotguns if they are going to do less damage than a weasel's fart. I mean, what's the point?
Please for the love all cock lovin' Christ be good. I wanted to love 2033 so much but couldn't finish it as it was just that fawkin' unbearable. Great premise though, loved it to pieces, but couldn't push myself to finish it based on the gameplay.
I know what Master Snake means though. Some games knock it out of the park with unexpected multiplayer (see Uncharted 2). But it takes a very skilled developer to add multiplayer that's unique and doesn't feel tacked on and generic. Hopefully they can pull it off, lest it end up like Condemned 2 or Stranglehold's multiplayer.
I didn't finish the first one, I don't think that I even made it past the few few hours of the game. I don't know, I'll probably try it again eventually but it just didn't grab me like I hoped it would. A lot of the fault like the lackluster gunplay and terrible English voice acting kept holding me back from loving it like I wanted to. I did switch it to Russian but it still didn't help me.
@runtheplacered: I'm not saying Dead Space 2 as a whole sucked. I'm just saying, this is another case of developing putting more and more multiplayer in a game which really doesn't need it as the single player is (arguably) good. I just think they should use the resources they would spend on a multiplayer instead on making the single player even better, especially since Metro 2033 had faults that turned people (Xzyliac for ex.) off from the game.
Now if they make a multiplayer like Pandora Tomorrow or Portal 2 like mrandy said, then feel free to disregard my original statement. We'll see once the game releases.

Weird they focused on the action since every other FPS seems to focus on action.
What made Metro 2033 a memorable experience was the tension created from
Knowing you might not survive your next encounter. Coupled withamazing atmosphere the desperation and despair while scavenging bodies for supplies.
On top of that now resources will be split to se degree with MP development. Sorry but unless they're doing serving interesting it doesn't need multiplayer. It's hard to take players away from CoD or BF. Multiplayer is always at the mercy of it's player pool. If you're not doing something that rivals CoD, Halo or BF then the population dwindled so I often don't understand why bother shoehorning MP into games that work fine without it. However there are exceptions. Assassins Creed: B was interesting but on the flipside of that coin is Dead Space 2 and Bioshock 2 MP. So with Metro: Last Night, I hope I'm wrong and it's a compeling experience worth investing the time.
Tl;dr: does it really need MP?

Day One for me. i loved Metro 2033 picked up a copy on 360 few days after it launched and again for PC when i got new machine. one of my favourite games of all time(i finished it 5 times). hopefully sound design(best sound design in video games, ever?), atmosphere, level design,difficulty and pacing will remain intact. as for shooting and AI those only needed some rebalancing and nothing else.
multiplayer? i don't want it to become another CoD wannabe shooter like it happened with so many games. give me lengthy campaign like in original, maybe some coop mode(Horde would be nice) and different endings.

@Cryotek,
Stalker 2 was already announced - will be released in 2012 and supposedly will be multiplatform title(atleast new engine is multiplatform and there were talks about new game being multiplatform release). i hope it's true - atleast we would get finished product out of the box unlike all past Stalker games.

Hamza WTF? linking to the old not-review instead of Jim's recent (and fantastic) full review?!
Also: AWESOME! More Metro is very high on my excitement meter!

@Xyliac, IMO the game rules and mechanics were fine if you accepted that they weren't realistic and were sometimes arbitrary, the challenge being to beat it within those rules. Still, here's hoping for some good changes in the sequel.
I like the first one. I'd like to see more freedom of exploration between story segments. The game is set in a network of tunnels after all.
I didn't play the original Metro game, but I absolutely loved the trailer for this one.
Very well put together, great music, and good teasing. I'd say that this is one of the game trailers of the year.
