Thanks for digging that up and sharing, mate.

seems like it was a leak, it was probably taken down for that reason

the official site states that it's 20 hours left.
That was pretty awesome.

If the baby was arytom hed be like 12 years old in the game... so either they made a mistake or its not him.
Oooooooooooh my god
wait no my maths is rubbish

I would have thought the bombing would have taken place during like the cuban missile crisis, surely mutants as weird as the ones in the game couldn't appear over the course of 20 years.
Fucking great

Artyom's mom was eaten by rats in the Metro.
Wow that video was really awesome. Love to see backstory put on screen like this (Though i want to know more about what exactly caused the war)
Can't wait for this game
[QUOTE=Saber15;36069267]Artyom's mom was eaten by rats in the Metro.[/QUOTE]
i know, that's why i'm asking. when we see the guy with the gasmask later (who could very much be artyom), he hears the song that the mother sang to the baby so it's probably him.
The baby is artyom. [url]http://metro2033.wikia.com/wiki/Artyom[/url]
He is 20 at the time of the game. Born in 2013.
That was glorious. I'm so hyped for the new Metro now.

The game did a lot of things differently than in the book, which in my opinion, is for the better.
While I enjoyed reading [i]Metro 2033[/i], it was by and large boring as all fuck. Almost nothing happened. The characters that were so major in the game, Bourbon and Khan, barely had four pages dedicated to them in the novel, and development was pretty much non-existent in the book.
I mean, seriously. [sp]Bourbon and Artyom travel together MAYBE 100 feet, and in the very first tunnel they go through, Bourbon literally (LITERALLY!) just falls over dead. And that's that. Artyom just goes on his merry way. And then the encounter with Khan goes so far as walking through a station and talking about how most stations don't keep track of time, because its a man-made construct that has little purpose in a world where people are fighting to survive day to day. That's it.[/sp]
I'm really glad they were able to get Dmitry on-board with the [i]Metro[/i] games - it seems pretty evident that he had such grander ideas for his story than he put in the books.
All that being said, while that is his mother's fate in the book, the guys at 4A (and Dmitry himself, obviously) are at full liberty to change that.
I've always guessed it was some generic Russia vs. NATO war. But, I'd love to find out more.

I thought I heard her whisper "Artyom" to him
I'm kind of disappointed they probably won't play on Artyom's crippling fear of rats in Last Light but I guess you gotta stick to those messianic archetypes
I also think that when Glukhovsky wrote the book, he left the war a giant mystery on purpose. I think he just wants us to fill in the blanks.

The book was so good though

[sp]Khan saves Artyom from the same bizarre tunnel that killed Bourbon, backs up for him in the dark, depressing station said tunnel lead to, leads Artyom through a "haunted" tunnel, saves his life from a weird darkness tornado thing, saves his life again when Artyom insults some chavy dudes guarding a tunnel and nearly gets shot in the face, and pays for Artyom's entrance into one of the few reasonably civilized and nice places left in the Metro, as well as giving cryptic spiritual advice. Also, Artyom would have walked into a giant chasm if he followed the route he was originally planning until Khan pointed out the route was blocked, prompting Khan to give Artyom a new map.
Bourbon also leads Artyom to another station briefly and basically just existed to show how scummy people could get, as well as all the freaky ways the Metro could kill you and to give Artyom an awesome AK.
Khan's role was pretty important to the story and he took up about sixty/seventy pages on his own, which given the regular life-span of characters in Metro, is pretty respectable. Bourbon wasn't really meant to be anything special, the only real similarities between the game character and the book character is that they both wear an aviator jacket and they're both traders of sorts.[/sp]

If even half of that is true, then the book must have been even more boring than I thought. Literally, the only thing I remember about Khan in the book is the part I previously described.
I'll agree with you on Bourbon in all parts, though.
Honestly, the two most memorable parts of the book for me, a year after I read it, are when Artyom [sp]met the Communists on the track car thing[/sp] and [sp]the brainwashed tribe that worshiped the World Worm or whatever they called it.[/sp]
The first one just really stuck with me (I really liked the characters), and the second one was just awesome.
Wait, so [sp]the global conditions in Metro:2033 were created because of a nuclear war? I thought it involved some sort of extraterrestrial occurance or something along the lines of an asteroid.[/sp]
Can someone give me a quick rundown?

Please do not criticize this as the last time I checked it was years ago and it was mostly second hand knowledge.
The US never got out of the depression, Russia became a much larger super power and eventually the two came to blows since Russia never dropped out of power.

You didn't catch the whole "what a beautiful world we destroyed" and other ninety thousand nuclear war references?
