Metro Place - 4A Games (Rumor)

Twirlywoos · 11 May 2014 at 22:03

Deep Silver will have two "unannounced AAA games" to show us at #E3. EXCITE! Any guesses on the titles?

A new metro website has opened with an announcement page for new game "in development". There is no useful info on it other than that. I assume the proper news will arrive at E3 this year.

Metro needs to go open-world by this point, and I mean STALKER levels of open world. If you've played Last Light and got towards the end when it's pouring down with rain and you are overlooking the river on the broken bridge, you will know what I mean.

I'm perfectly happy with Metro staying linear.

I just want more of it.

More Metro is good. Not sure about the name 'Place' tho...

Just started last light. One of my favorite franchises!

Finally getting around to playing this series, really enjoying it so far so glad to hear they're making more.

This, I would like.

'Place' is a strange word to throw in. :confused:

I personally hope they opt for a non-linear approach. With Stalker 2 being cancelled, it's the perfect opportunity to fill the void. Survarium be damned.

Still haven't completed Last Light, mainly due to my 660 not managing to run it on max detail, but my 770 4GB should have no problem.

I don't really care what they do, so long as the atmosphere and story is good.

I finally started and finished 2033 last week, after having bought it in a Steam sale a few years back, and am playing Crysis 3 before I start on Last Light. Whatever they do I'm looking forward to it.

It's an odd thing to call it, sounds like a the name of a TV soap.

They collaborate with the author of Metro don't they? So it may be his next book, but calling Metro Place sounds like it has no definitive goal, so it may be an open world game.

I love the Metro series I don't care what they call it long as its as good or better than the last 2 im happy

Just got off the phone from the dev on this. It's going to be quad-780ti's to run minimum specs.

cheesyboy · 12 May 2014 at 10:34

Sounds like a dating site for Metro fans.

I hope it is. The world needs one of those.

Arcane · 12 May 2014 at 14:36

I got stuck on the boss level at the church, ran out of ammo/filters, I really should get back to it at some point.

bainbridge · 12 May 2014 at 20:13

The Metro games were both great but I too think they would have been much better as open world games.

It's not going to happen on a 770 either, but it'll certainly be better than a 660!

I'd like to see them introduce a bit more of an RPG element to it personally. So you can really explore the world and people's stories.

I have to turn SSAA off, everything else is at the max it can go, which includes PhysX turned on.

Yep, despite Metro 2033 is amazing, i still thought it could have had more RPG elements in the game.
