Giant Bomb Presents: 20 Minutes With Metro 2033 Author Dmitry Glukhovsky

neat been looking forward to this game since i played the first! :D

definitely excited about this one

Metro Last Last? Why is work?

Awesome I really liked the first game and ordered the book off Amazon, really interested to hear this interview.

Is Metro Last Last the Final Fantasy of Metro titles?

Wow... this has made me totally feel inadequate. I would be happy with a firm grasp on my own language. But, I'm also excited for this!

'I told the american publishers to fuck off' lol. This guy is so fucking awesome.

Awesome. Thank you for this, Patrick.

Really liked this. Keep it Up!

It also reminds me that I need to replay the first Metro...

What is this "Metro Last Last"? Sounds like a fresh release!

Hey, this is awesome. Surprised the audio is so good too, I'd have thought it'd be harder to deal with the people in the background. Nice for those of us not making it to PAX East to get a litte something :)

Oh god my body cant contain my hype. Last light will be sick

This is a really interesting interview, definitely need to check out the Metro novels at some point. Can't wait for Last Light.

Great interview. Keep em coming, Patrick.

"why is work is so darn depressing"

always wondered that myself

It's like I'm at PAX East!

This is a great interview. Thanks for getting this up fast Patrick.

This was a fantastic interview. Thanks Patrick!

I couldn't find the book in the US but easily found it in Amsterdam. God, that book is fantastic.

Wow, this guy is something, really want to question what am i doing with my life, when people like him exist.

i like how this guy says "post-apocalyptic."

He is a really interesting fellow. Thanks for this interview. I think I'm going to restart my 1/3 of the way in Metro 2033 save to go with the Russian dialog.

Very nice interview. Interesting stuff for sure. Hope we get more of these quick audio clips from pax and gdc.

Metro 2033 the book is a great read!

Is this the last "Last" game in the Metro franchise??

Actually quite excellent these things. No chance, or extremely little chance, of misquotes, misinterpretations and whatnot when you can actually hear the tone of the person speaking. You get all of the context. And it adds personality to what would've been dry, nondescript words. Now the words have a Russian British accent.

I really enjoyed the first game and was eager to pick up the book. However it took me quite some time to track down an English Language version. I really hope the author keeps up his efforts to get his work out there in as many languages as possible. As soon as it's available in English I'll pick up Metro 2034.

Enjoyed the book more than the game, even though the book itself was somewhat hit and miss at times. I can't imagine the poor translation helped. The book had its fair share of politics, horror, and the unknown, but the game was a simple shooter in comparison, with a few jumps and scares thrown in.

Not really complaining, though. The game is pretty good in its own right, but I think it would've went from good to great if it had a more moody pace, and more exploring with less shooting. But that's just me.

Whoa! I love this book. The game was ok too. But that sequel 2034 was terrible :( Hope more of this guy's books get translated/popular he's awesome. By the way if you want a copy of 2034 in English there are fan translations out there, but most are just google machine translation from russian...they suck. Look for the human translated from spanish version, it gets almost all the idioms right and has a smoother flow. But yah, prepared to be underwhelmed.

Fkng great interview!!!

This is a great interview! Interesting stuff.

Agreed! I'm really diggin Interview Dumptruck.

This guy seems super cool and interesting. Thanks, Patrick!

This guy seems pretty interesting. Actually a pretty excellent interview.

In Soviet Russia, Metro Last Last plays you!

I think that's how that works.

I know! I'm excited too!!

I've read the book in Russian and also thought that it was hit and miss in certain spots. I find he borrowed a lot from Lukyanenko who is the author of the Nightwatch/Daywatch series, specifically the philosophical discussions.

2034 was definitely worse.

Whaaaaat? No friggin way, this is awesome. Nice work Scoops!

This guy is great!

And as the author of a book that no one cares about, let me tell you, getting people to read your stuff is next to impossible.

This was a awesome interview. Well done catching time with him Patrick!

I bought this game just earlier today while it was on sale. May have to check out this guy's work.

This is great! Was thinking of reading the book. More stuff like this please!

Great interview Patrick! Author seems like a cool guy. Nice to hear his thoughts on writing with the hopes of an adaptation.

Really good interview, haven't played the first game but I'm interested in the new one. Might pick up the first one if I can find it cheap

I really really enjoyed 2033 as a book. This was an amazing surprise. Thank you Patrick, and Dmitry!

Really liked reading Metro 2033, there were a lot of Lovecraftian elements that kept me hooked throughout. I bought the original game at the same time as the book which made it hard not playing the game since they start pretty similar.

who's patrick kleptic?

Well this guy is smart as fuck.

I <3 Interview Dumptruck
