Pre-Alpha Footage of PS3 Exclusive "Metro 2033: The Last Refuge"

Impressive pre-alpha realtime footage of an upcoming FPS for the PlayStation 3 and PC.

[SPARTAAN]

when is this game coming out

[sonarus]

well just one more title to keep my eye on

[gaffyh]

Working video attached or follow the link, would be good if the admins would just embed this video in the story

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[gonzopia]

Thanks for that embedded video. My IE6 at work didn't like that page at all.

[poos3]

they dont do beta onthe ps3 all footage is done on the pc this game looks average

[gEnKiE]

.....MGS4:Online, Warhawk, and Home doesn't count?

[TheEndzor]

Bubble for genkie because he just owned pooS3

[leon76]

poos3 = jack@ss!!!!

[mesh1]

tell me 1 of thos games that are coming out are for the pc? its ovious its a pc beta footage u swine

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 4]

Poor xBroken360 Lemmings only got Gears2!!! ;-D

[Captain Tuttle]

Why do developers even bother releasing "pre-Alpha" footage? It drags the marketing campaign out so long that people get sick of hearing about it.

[Max Power]

with what they have, or people smuggle footage out and things go on from there

[anh_duong]

maybe true but if handled correctly it should help generate hype and keep the game in the public eye. the problem is not necessarily pre-alpha captures but more delays that gets people annoyed and kills hype.

[JoelR]

In the case of KZ2 they released prealpha because everyone was bagging on them about how the trailer was not possible... so they one upped the trailer with their prealpha game play.

It shut up the doubters quickly enough and GG got back to work on the game.

I have no idea why they would do that for this game - they could have kept quiet. The only reason they really would have is to create hype unlike fighting negative hype.

[Statix]

Am I missing some kind of joke here? This looks exactly like STALKER.

[Silverwolf]

I was thinking the same thing. If does look interesting though.

[diefor]

This trailer is so old. And is not a PlayStation 3 exclusive. Where are the N4g control here?

[Darkiewonder]

They love to spread news like this and people just approve blindly

[heyheyhey]

its a PS3 console exclusive

it hasnt been announced for the 360, only the PS3 and PC

if by "not exclusive" you mean not fully exclusive then you are correct

[JoelR]

[Spike47]

going on?

[TheREALHarryEtTubMan]

Poos3 is a retard and doesnt have a brain. He's like the tin man from Wizard of OZ. That explains why he owns a 3FIXME.

PS3 is destroying the 3FIXME... day by day.

[diefor]

http://www.4a-games.com/ check the trailer june 2007. Ok is not old.

[CNIVEK]

10 months ago is practically YESTERDAY. O_O

[SPARTAAN]

many havent seen this trailer so i think its fine

[BilI Gates]

It's much older than 10 months. I don't see why this was proved to begin with. It's a tech demo from 2 years ago.

[Captain Tuttle]

Because it had "PS3 Exclusive" in the title.

Genre: 3D Action-oriented horror/action/survival FPS with elements of RPG
Platform: Hi-End PC and PS3
Release: 4Q 2008
Official web-site: www.4A-games.com

«4A-Games» company is glad to present its new project - the 3D Action-oriented horror/action/survival FPS with elements RPG genre game, with working name «METRO 2033. The Last Refuge».

The gist of the plot is the cult masterpiece of the Russian author Dmitriy Glukhovskiy «Metro 2033»

The whole world lies in ruins. Humanity is almost annihilated. Due to the high-level of radiation cities became unsuitable for living. Outside cities, as rumours say, there are endless burned out deserts and wilds of mutated forests. The survived still remember about the past greatness of human. But the remnants of the civilization gradually become just memories, spin with stories and turn into legends.

Since the last plane took off the land more than twenty year has passed. The corroded railroads lead to nowhere. The air is silent, and the radiomen hear only the cheerless howls while million times tuning in frequencies on which broadcasted New-York, Paris, Tokyo and Buenos Aires before. Only twenty years has passed since IT happened. But human yielded the supremacy on Earth to new species. The mutated by radiation and other consequences of the happened creatures are more adapted to the changed world.

The human epoch elapsed.

But they do not want to believe in that. There are only some tens of thousand of them, and they do not know whether somebody else survived, or they are the last people in this world. They live in Moscow metro – the largest anti-nuclear shelter whenever constructed by a human and the last shelter of humanity.
Almost all of them were in metro THIS day, and this fact helped them to survive. The hermetic locks protect them from radiation and monstrous creatures on surface, the worn out filters purify water and air. The assembled by skilled craftsmen dynamos produce electricity, in underground farms champignons are cultivated and pigs are raised, but the poorer people do not bother eating rats.
The central control system collapsed long age, and the stations turned into diminutive states, where people are grouped by ideas, religion and water filter or by the basic necessity to defence from enemies.

The VDNH is the extreme northern populated metro station in its line. It is the northern outpost of humanity and civilization. Here live some hundred of strong, friendly people, who treat the station as their sweet home. It was one of the best in metro while it was safe. But now the station is attacked by hordes of mysterious animals, descending from the top and named “Darkness” by the citizens of VDNH. The citizens, for the moment, succeed in countering the offence, but it becomes more and more difficult. If the station is seized, the avalanche may overflow the whole metro.
Artem, a young guy, who lives in VDNH, is given a task – to reach the heart of the metro, the legendary Polis, in order to warn all people about the terrible danger and to ask for help. In hands of one man appears the destiny of VDNH, the destiny of the whole metro, and may be, the destiny of the whole humanity…

In this world an extremely dynamic gameplay awaits players. They will have to face different political regimes (democracy with market economy, totalitarian sects, military communism, primitive society with proper culture and beliefs); to fight with dangerous enemies and new intelligent life forms, born by catastrophe and mutations; to explore the enigmatic and at the same time quite known world and its laws (groupings and their interrelations, fractions animosity and trade, anomalies and enemies with extraordinary abilities); to handle various types of weapons, as common, as assembled from variety of well-know to modern people types, which posses some properties of their prototypes; to drive unique peoples’ machines in the new world: hand cars assembled in armoured personnel carrier manner etc..

The basic features of the game:

1. Location – post-apocalyptic Moscow, the life of humanity gleams in metro (subway) tunnels, and the stations turned into small states with different political regimes.
2. Variety of gameplay styles – possibility to play as a heavy strike fighter, as an inconspicuous killer.
3. A player, who attentively follows the events in the game world, will find out ways to influence the advance of the plot and may reach the non-standard end. Besides the basic plot, there is a variety of non-obligatory tasks.
4. In station-cities it is possible to meet as fighters, as peaceful citizens and the station lives its own life independent from player. Children run and play among dwellings, adults are busy with different businesses – women cook meals, sew; men have discussions, clean weapons, drink tea or home-brew, read books; old people seat near tents.
5. The high-level AI empowered to model the NPC behaviour in close combat similar to real people actions. The enemies may conduct simple and aimed fire, avoid line of fire, hide in covers, ambush and attack suddenly, call for help, and mention a character hidden in shadow.
6. A number of various anomalies: gravitation distortion, energy clot (looking at some of which the character may perish), intelligent immaterial images, which punish with death for any aggression at their presence and many other, the role of which will be discovered only before the game release.
7. Ammo-money. Fire off money or be economic, use tactics.
8. Variety of mini games.

[BilI Gates]

LOL guys this tech demo is from 2006 and it's running on PC.

[solidt12]

Yeah, Im gonna keep my eye on this. it mite turn out to be something good.

[TheREALHarryEtTubMan]

Mesh1.... XBox 360 is DEAD.

[heyheyhey]

theres been gameplay footage of this game for aaaages, it was announced like last year

anyway it looks a bit like Bioshock or Stalker

this game could turn out to be a winner so i would check up on it

[NO_PUDding]

Agreed. It's based on a book, so it can't be Stalker, althoguh Stalker may ahve inspired it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

There's true gameplay.

[heroman711]

hmmmm looks interesting

[gameforall]

"..Hi-End PC and PS3"

[Jonelo]

1- not is PS3 exclusive

2 is a PC game - with a port to PS3, all screens in the web of 4A are of the PC version, and the target of the game is the Russian Market - and after the worldwide market

3 - is a 2007 trailer

4 - is based in a novel Metro 2033, a cult novel in Russia

5 - the core of the developement team is the lead programer of the engine of STALKER, Oles Shishkovtsov , and the lead designer of STALKER Andrew Prokhorov .

6 - is a small team , 25 - 30 workers

7 - all screens and videos are of the 2006 year, only few are more
moderns

8 - the world of the game is similar at Fallout

9- is a FPS / RPG / , hardcore in some features

10- the engine is the second engine of Oles Shishkovtsov with full deferred shading , with features like AA , a aproximate global illumination with radiosity - the firt intent of global illumination in videogames I think that is the STALKER engine - , geometry displazament mapping etc in the final version of the game

[jkhan]

Well then its a console exclusive, by the way not bashing 360 or anything but every exclusive game on 360 is also on PC. I am pretty sure Halo 3 will also finds it way to PC soon enough ;)

[Whoooop]

Not exclusive... Just like almost every 360 game.

We understand that...

[Jonelo]

The game is first for the Russian market, which is PC, and then for consoles. They work by PS3 , because in Europe has more penetration in the market. Or only have the developer- KIT of the PS3 XD

[drdre74]

looks like pure trash. Ugghh the animation sucked and the creature designs suck.

[jackhammer06]

what else do you expect from a pre-alpha game footage???The game looks great at this stage IMO....

[mattkelly1991]

die please.

[Jonelo]

Yes not very good animations in the creatures . Really , the animations in the trailer are of the 2006 version . Maybe in the final version will be better . The textures also not are great - the resolution -

I believe they were changing the design of the creatures for the final version. But not all creatures look so bad

[Jonelo]

Is with the editor of the game, not is ingame .

LOL. NOT a single one is worth buying the POS3 for.

[heyheyhey]

haha lol, call yourself a gamer

[Xlll]

sak can't be a gamer how can you play anything on a console that won't work?

[longduckdong]

stupid

[THE_JUDGE]

never heard of this game. If they look to make an impact this year, they'd better bring it big.

[Harry190]

coming for a long time now.

[shysun]

This is old, I saw this last year.... the same video.

[Jonelo]

Yes, and the video of 2007 has the same scenes in-game of the video of june 2006 , but with other cut ;) . Maybe run in a GF 7900 or another "old " videocard .

[juuken]

It looks interesting, but let's see how far it goes.

[LinuxGuru]

oooooooh.....I like the lighting engine. Real-time shadows and lighting is very very niiiiice.

Wah wah wee wah! I like!

[cmrbe]

More FPS for the PS FPS fanbase. Sony really is really doing a great job for the PS FPS fanbase this gen.

[Angelitos]

Its been a while, since they released any new info on this game. Is it coming, or what?

[DFresh]

Damn!
Can Sony get even better?
Yep, it's just the beginning.
The game looks good the video set up wasn't that great but once we see this played in true HD it might change our minds about what we think of the game.
Keep those exclusives coming Sony!
Sony is not f***ing around anymore time to completely destroy the 360 this year.

[Rice]

Time will tell.

[TheIneffableBob]

I remember being super impressed by the screens close to a year ago.

Now, not so much.

[arakouftaian]

my eyes are on it, plus is ps3 exclusive it has 2 be good bether than a non ps3 exclusive at lease...

[Utalkin2me]

People really need to stop drinking and smoking weed. If you think Killzones actual gameplay videos look even close to the e3 showing then you need your eyes checked, or even maybe you need to go to the doctor. Take a day off to go, matter of fact i will work for you so you can go to the doctor......Mk'a

About the article. The game might be alright but wasnt really impressed with the graphics.
