Got a question for the 4A Development team? Ask here!

Guess I'll get the ball rolling... Also, I never got to welcome you, so welcome to this fine little niche of veteran fans! Anyways, I will start with the part of the demo that worried me the most - Is the combat knife a selectable slot this time around, or a button-press action? Thank you sir!

 

I'm sure were all wondering when 4a will release another demo or trailer on the game or it's features. It's been quite some time now, Even some new screenshots would be welcome.

 

Will there be a Ranger Hardcore mode, and will the difficulty remain as high (and as good) as it was in Metro 2033? Thank you.

 

In the demo theres is destructable environment, will it be and advanced type one(i.e. like bad company2 but thats too much) or a normal one like shooting through thin walls,destroying them, shooting through other destructable stuff.

 

Is there going to be a graphical overhaul? the 2033 graphics were lovely to me but other people think its bad. so any changes apart from some odd texture detail in the demo?

 

Are you adding more RPG elements (I am referring to exploration of areas, multiple paths, hidden treasures, inventory)?
Who's the composer of the soundtrack? (Big soundtrack listener here and I have to admit some of the tracks I extracted from Metro 2033 were breathtaking and atmospheric).

Also: since I want to be a concept artist one day and I draw a lot (here you can check some fan arts: www[dot]lastlightforum[dot]com/showthread.php?p=7683#post7683) will you release more concept arts?

I am sure you are doing a great work!
Thanks for your time,

Cheers,
Shade

 

1) Will there be any Easter Eggs, Metro 2033 didn't many except the Prostitute :lol: iirc, Similar to Gears 3 where there were quite a few amazing and funny ones.

2) Will the bullet currency be improved?

3) Will there be more ways for the enemy to be alerted to you, with the exception of stepping on broken glass or being visible in the light?

4) Are you introducing any female rangers? Russian females kick ass!

5) How will PhysX be improved? Metro was heavily criticised by PhysX Info for not having advances in PhysX compared to Batman AC and AA.

6) When buying or selling amo will it be better explained? In 2033 you wouldn't know which amo the gun belonged to?

7) In the E3 demo the AI looked pretty dumbed down. Was that intentional?

8) Will LL be linear like 2033, or will there be more rpg elements and room for exploration? (Edit Shade beat me to that question, well in there)

9) Will there be different type of gas masks found on the surface, buildings, sewers, metro tunnel? Civilian gas masks, ranger gas masks, communist gas masks and nazi gas masks, all which have different design styles and physical attributes? For example a ranger mask can take filters which last longer and are less prone to damage from mutant attacks?


- That's it for now

 

Another question, the option interface for graphics was not that user friendly, will the player be able to moddify it as he sees best?

 

one question for all:

will there be a level editor to create maps/missions by fans?

 

I know it's probably too early to ask that question,but...are the pc system requirements going to be the same?

 

It's a metro game, so 8x GTX 690's and 5 i7 3960X's might run it on medium-high.

In all seriousness, the videos we have all seen were being ran on a 590. That might give you an idea.

Oh and here is my question:
1) What is the possibility of opening a metro/4a themed merchandise store. I want to get my hands on some metro and 4a swag.

​

 

If there will be an upcoming closed beta, do we get access to it ? if there will be co-op or multiplayer ? the singleplayer would be more important tho, love the story

 

Thank you very much! looking forward to the anwesrs!

 

Thanks Joe. Looking forward to the answers. Here are my next batch:


1) The moral system in 2033 was something of an unknown discovery for many.

I was playing fable and acts of goodness gained you moral points which were easily distinguishable through sounds, tool tips and on screen instructions. However Fable is a RPG and would probably take away from the intensity of Metro if it was to adopt the same system.

So are Moral Points going to be explained better in Last Light or will they remain vague with a psychotic flash only system?

2) Related to the question about the Moral system. Will there be an alternative ending in LL depending on the acts of goodness or wickedness you perform throughout the game?

3) In 2033 for example before Arytom and Bourbon entered the "Market" ( lost catacombs chapter) they had a conversation with the guards. However, when I shot the guards they fired back and killed Bourbon and the chapter ended. Will LL have alternative paths in the game will take if I make decisions like the above or will it but strictly linear with it's role play elements.

 

1) Yeah, it would be good to make the moral choices a little more obvious, but not too much like an RPG. So I second that question.

2) There have been rumours about changing the bullet-money system. Is this going to change? (I hope not!)

 

Maybe make it a little bit easier to understand, it was a little bit confusing on my first gameplay...
