Holy fuck I can't wait for this game. The atmosphere is truly one of a kind.
Nazis ̶o̶̶n̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶o̶̶o̶̶n̶ in the metro
Judging from the last seconds, looks like it'll follow 2033's extended ending (the book, I mean).
It's weird not seeing the THQ logo at the intro.
Still very very exited for this and glad its still being worked on.

What was that?
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;39969754]What was that?[/QUOTE]
It's called "The Gospel According to Artyom", it was released for free on Amazon for a while back, then disappeared. It's back now but costs money apparently.
From wikipedia:
[sp]In the epilogue to Metro 2033 Artyom describes his time after Ostankino Tower and the fate of the Dark Ones . Once returning to VDNKh he was welcomed like a hero as if he was "Coming down from the heavens in a shiny chariot". Artyom thought of himself as a murderer and that he wished himself dead, that a monster would eat him or that he could hang himself from a tree. Artyom wishes that he could tell the inhabitants of the Metro the truth about the dark ones, that they were there to help, that they wanted peace. He believed that they would laugh in the face of the truth or that he had been indoctrinated by the dark ones into believing them.
Artyom describes his past in a little more detail, about the time when he, Zhenya (named Eugine in the game) and Vitali 'The Splinter' went to the Botanical Gardens and opened the airlock. Where as in the original novel the events happen very quickly and they are scared back into the metro, the new epilogue goes into detail about what happened. While wondering the surface, Artyom is cornered by wild, mutated dogs. His shotgun not working he tells the others to go. He is saved by a Dark One who scares the Dogs away, some of which start to uncontrollably convulse. The dark one pities Artyom, he sympathizes with him. The dark one shows him visions of his mother (similar to the scene in the Video Game level Dead City ). The dark one parts from Artyom leaving the words "You are the First" in Artyom's mind. The brief, non-hostile interaction with the dark one inoculates Artyom, giving him a barrier against the message of the dark ones.
After the Events at Ostankino Artyom out of guilt returns to the Botanical Gardens very regularly. No mutants occupy the former dark ones home, only soot and ash. During one such trip, Artyom sees a lone dark one. Whether or not an illusion Artyom runs towards it, taking his mask and gloves off. The dark one is small, roughly half the height of Artyom. Artyom tries to communicate with it, he touches the dark ones head with an ungloved hand. Artyom see's emptiness in the dark one's eyes and understands that he alone in the world.[/sp]
It was supposed to be included in the newer editions of the book but I have no idea if that happened. Why I suspect the game might reference it is the part at the end where you see that kid through the eyes of some monster. [sp]Could be Artyom, but could be just some random kid.[/sp]
Oh boy this looks even darker than originally thought.
Fuck yes.
I like that it's focusing more on the Nazi/Communist war than the Dark Ones; that was a much more unique angle in the first game.
I really want to know what happened to the rest of the surviving dark ones.
