Now Gamer - Metro: Last Light, the sequel to 4A Games' post-apocalyptic shooter Metro 2033 is shaping up to be a killer sequel. We caught up with executive producer Dean Sharpe, and communications lead Huw Beynon to discuss why this could be one of the best sequels of the generation.
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
4A Games celebrates the 10th anniversary of its first-person shooter by offering it free for a week.
Crytek and its likes should learn multiplatform development from this team !!!!
The 4A engine has been providing decent graphics for consoles as well as PCs. At first I thought they developed PC first and ported the game to the console in case of Metro 2033 but wow later when I read about the 4A engine I was amazed to know that I was wrong.
Executive producer Dean Sharpe :
Our lead programmer never ceases to amaze me. He’s just continuing to push the envelope, and I remember he came back from GDC this year and he was like, “Damn it!”
So I said, “Woah, woah, what’s going on?” and he’s like, “The other programmers. They keep doing new stuff, so I guess I’m going to have to go and make my stuff better.”
