Metro 2033 wasn’t just within spitting distance of greatness; it was so close, it could have reached out and given greatness a wet willy. So each and every time the game’s clunky shooting and shoddy AI reminded us that its living, breathing world wasn’t actually living or breathing at all, our hearts broke a little. With any luck, though, the number won’t be the only thing that changes in Metro 2034.
“We're going to be doing a 3D version of that on Metro 2034 - the sequel. And there will be some engineering costs there, but that's in our lowest cost centre in the world. Those games are unbelievably reasonable, they're built in Kiev,” THQ's core games VP Danny Bilson told CVG during a discussion of 3D tech.
This is the first time Metro 2034’s been mentioned in any official capacity. Unfortunately, aside from its name and the fact that it’ll be another 3D showcase, our knowledge of it is within wet willy-ing distance of nothing. If there’s any justice in the world, though, the game will get the Tin-Man-from-Wizard-of-Oz treatment: a bit of oil for its rusty, stiff shooting and a brain for its lackluster AI. That’d be just about the best thing ever, we think.

Hopefully this time around, they won't backport it to PC, because there's no video options, etc. in M2K33.
