Metro 2033 Story Trailer: Humanity Is Obsolete

Providing another glimpse of the perils that await the underground residents of post-apocalyptic Moscow, publisher THQ has issued a new trailer from 4A's survival shooter Metro 2033. "You've heard about survival of the fittest. Guess what? We lost."

Oh sure, you've got mutants and the like, but thus far, it looks like the real danger comes not from some overgrown five-armed blob named Joe, but fellow humans. Go figure.

Then again, Metro 2033 doesn't hit PC and Xbox 360 for a bit yet, so, uh, maybe there's still a chance that everyone will learn to play nicely before its "early 2010" arrival?

I think this is a really cool premise and I cannot wait to play it. That being said, I hope it has a bit more polish than STALKER.

  Too bad I have a feeling a lot of people will be turned off from the premise comparing it to Fallout 3 and calling it Fallout told from the russian perspective.

    I don't know if piggy backing on Fallout hype is a bad thing for them. Fallout was really well received. This is an FPS mostly, right, not an RPG?
    
    If THQ does their job I think this can stand on its own and capitalize a little from Fallout.

  Russian Fallout sounds good to me.

    Totally. I'm loving the stuff coming out of the east-europe developers for the last few years. Yes, they tend to be buggy, but they have absolutely nailed soul-crushing atmosphere.
