Metro: Last Light E3 2011 Game Play Trailer

Now we all know what a great game Metro 2033 was… oh sorry, we all know what a great game Metro 2033 COULD have been. But due to a few minor details it just missed the mark and couldn’t quite make it into the great game hall of fame. But this didn’t deter THQ and thankfully they’ve decided to go ahead and make a sequel. The first thing you need to know is that this sequel will not be called Metro: 2034, that would just be silly, there calling it Metro: Last Light, a much less cliché name.
The second thing you need to know is that this addition to the series will begin with the assumption that unlike every other game in the world you slaughtered your way through Metro 2033 and got the bad ending. So with that in mind you can imagine that this game will not be all rainbows and roses and will be brutal. The third thing you need to know is that 4A Games seem to be doing a Crysis on us and will be trying to make this game a poster child for the most cutting-edge graphics card that comes out around about the time of release. So you should probably start saving now if you’re a PC and you want to get the most out this game.

THQ seems to want to reinvent the series and believe that the original game failed due to lack of marketing.    
“We believe that Metro 2033 was a flawed masterpiece. It was a beautiful, original game that didn’t get the marketing support it needed,” said THQ core games head Danny Bilson. “We won’t make that mistake with Metro: Last Light. This game improves on the original in every way – it will have more polish, deeper and more sophisticated game play, and satisfyingly visceral combat, without losing what our fans loved about the original.”

Let’s just hope they get the formula right.
