4A GAMES is working on a new METRO title

Was hoping they'd take a break from Metro. They have the VR game, but it's crazy they're still focusing this much on Metro.
Finished Metro Exodus recently,it was a great expansion on the Metro formula while retaining what makes it feel unique......perhaps they will go fully open world with the next game.
Well at least they have new hardware to play with, so hopefully Metro 4 will still feel like a fresh new direction for them. So long as the team is still excited to be working on it.
only on a surface level is metro a succesor. They're so far apart it hurts.
Exodus was the best game in the series and got close (but not quite) to recapturing STALKER. I really want them to get there.
But yeah space game would be nice too.
I think the desert level is also my favourite - it felt fresh and wicked cool.
I would also like to see them work on something else, but is this perhaps a confused call answer? 4A could infact just be working on the expansions to Exodus, right? The big separate DLCs they announced? Is that wha tthey are talking about?
Honestly give me a VR Metro and I'll be all over it. They keep wanting to push immersion so much, so I really would love for them to take a risk and go big.
So that's 2 Exodus DLCs coming and a new Metro game? Hope they pursue the open environments more. I'm excited, but would also love to see them try their hand at something new. They're a unique studio.
Damn, I thought Exodus was a good ending to everything.
I guess it'll still have to be, for me, because fuck THQN.

More metro that isn't inside a Metro!
They should for the love of god:
*Ditch the silent protagonist.
*Hire at least passable writers. Especially for dialogue.
*Go back to the Metro. And leave Artyom and Anna behind.

ill never understand why Artyom talks during loading screens but not in the actual game...
and even in the game, it doesnt feel consistent - sometimes characters talk as if you are actually responding, other times wondering why you're silent... aaaghh
Just replying the first and second again. Finished the first one and half way through last light. Exodus is just not in the same league compared to these 2. Even though I like exodus a lot, there was just something missing. For me, it was the atmosphere from the last 2. Only the last chapter brought back the metro feeling.
I am looking forward to more metro games, but please be more like the first 2.

Yeah, the writing was pretty mediocre. But I really liked the open environments, gave the player even more agency and room to improvisation when tackling the missions
One thing I wish they drop is the multiple endings based on that shoddy reputation system. It was terrible in Exodus
This just made my day.
edit: Since we're talking about open world and silent protagonists I'll throw in my opinion.
I preferred the layouts of 2033/Last Light over Exodus. I would not object to one level that was more open world, but please for the love of god don't give us a dozen tasks to check off.
I don't mind silent protagonists. The only recent exception that I played was Battlefield 4. It made absolutely no sense for the protagonist to be silent. He's supposed to be leading a squad but he's a fucking mute that sometimes points at things and apparently his squad is always aware of what he points at.

Metro games have been on a downward trajectory since the first so meh. I'd rather they did something else.
Its a Metro game without the Metro, which was (to me) what gave it such a distinct personality. I think the way the book ends is the perfect ending for Artyoms and Anna story, the whole Exodus game kinda cheaped it out a bit.
Metro works best when you are dealing with the claustrophobia of the tunnels, navigating the political traps of the many metro stations, having to scrap ammo and meds and weighing in shooting that scary monster with your actual money (The military-grade rounds) and saving meds and other ammo, or saving those bullets for a new gun or filters.
They took out everything in this sequel. It's a generic post apocalyptic game now.
I thought that most people considered Last Light to be better than Metro 2033. I know that I certainly think so.
We had two games that took place in metro. It's fine to branch out
Nah. Not when it sacrifices what makes the previous games good. Metro games need to stay in the Metro system imo. The first two are 10/10 games. Exodus, not so much. The hub system and "open" maps ruined any tension.
This is what I thought too. There are 2 stand-alone DLCs coming.
btw, do you have a New England background? 'Wicked cool' is 99% of the time a giveaway that speaker grew up near Boston.
"Artyom, are you there?"
...........
"Oh thank goodness you're alive."
Fan of the IP, but not of the morality system in place that governs the ending of each game. Never liked that me killing armed bad guys (who won't hesitate to kill me) will result in a really bad ending for my character. I'm all for games that give me the option of being a stealth lord pacifist, or simply "going loud" but piss off on making me be the pacifist to have a satisfying ending.
