I think its because Metro 2033 was a lot different to your average FPS. When Homefront was announced, people thought it would change the FPS genre... it didnt. It was just another FPS.

When Metro 2033 was released, it changed FPS because it did what other FPS dare not to do. Ammo was scarce (unlike most FPS where you tend to have unlimited...) and you always had to check your surroundings, something you never do in average FPS. It was also about survival; you had to keep checking your gas mask which added a massive challenge, which just added that extra bar.

I too cannot wait for Metro Last Light and I may just get it on the PC because the graphics... look stunning. I think they're on par with Battlefield 3 on PC.

Agreed. When I played this game I could not help but think how basic Call of Duty is compared to Metro in game play and story. I could go on and on about this game but I would need a blog for that.

One thing I will say is that no other game has touched me emotionally like how Merto did. The kids playing in the Metro were perfect and it really made me think how much we take life for granted.

As much as I like the game I hope they change and add few things like:

The way you choose your weapon - some times it would take me a long time to go from knife to shot gun.

Add some RPG elements because this game has the right setting for that.

The gas mass is a nice idea but I really wanted to explore the world when I went top side but had little time to do so.

The breathing noise in the mask got a little annoying after awhile.

The only thing I want from Bulletstorm 2 is more precise hit boxes on enemies. It was a fun game and I really enjoyed it but have to qualify my statement with I didn't pay for the game. I borrowed it from my brother and beat it on normal. It only took about 6-8 hours. I'd prefer co-op in single player campaign.

bullet storm was trash.
the only reason it sold better is because of the gears 3 beta bottom.if it smell sh!t then it is sh!t

otherZinc I agree with you I enjoyed Bullet storm but sales were affected because it was more or less a SP game. If they can make a MP in BS2 I see sales picking up. For me BS was a nice change to the FPS games and I enjoyed it. If they are working on a BS2 ill defo be picking it up.

This was an awesome game for 360. I can't wait for Bulletstorm 2. Unreal Engine rules.

Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.

Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.

If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.
