Take the Express Train To Terror in Metro: Last Light

Never played a second of Metro, but man, that is one slickly put-together trailer.

I thought that trailer was awesome!

Bonus points for the use of Portishead.

I liked the first game. I actually just finished it moments ago. The shooting didn't feel good though, and it was generally very hard - even on easy. Though the weapons and equipment were very cool and I realize you can play this game with a lot more skill and stealh, but I was only in for the story. It is a very well realized post-apocalyptic world. 

Playing the first one now, and it's one of the best shooters I've ever played, and the tension is amazing, even though I get way too scared in the parts where you're alone. 
 
Can't wait to play this.

Me have major hard on.

FUCKBOOYAH PORTISHEAD!!!

I like trailers that are cool things unto themselves. 

First again second time today  Also this just looks like metro 2033  and wasnt it going to be called metro 2034?

Post Apocalypse, Russian Development, Monsters, Subway Nazi's and  
GGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTT TRRRAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN 
Bring on more Metro!!!!!

Portishead though!

That Portishead cd is criminally underrated!  The other only recent cd I've heard that dodges categorization is Subtle's Exiting Arm.

I saw the word "express" and thought I'd be hearing about the latest Nintendo downloadables. Very disappointed.

Gassmasks.

Weird. Cool though. 

Rad trailer, bonus points for Portishead beats.

I feel like i just watched a movie trailer. Not a good thing,

I get the intention using (pop)music for game trailers.  
I get the necessity for using music. 
 
My very personal beef is: I associate the pop-songs already with 'something'. 
 
We are in reverse Psychology territory here:  
 
Using music that is 'cool' - attaching it to a movie-trailer, gameplay etc - sends the message: "The music is cool = our game/film is AS cool! We are even! This (our stuff) is exciting!"  
 
That's marketing psychology beyond just "having music" in a trailer. There is an intention behind it, working. Intrusive. Infectious. For someone like me, even close to offensive.  
 
The Gears of War + Adam Lambert's "Mad World" trailer works on the other hand. It is 'funny' for some, but more important than that, it captures the emotional intention of the song! It stays true to the material. That's why it 'worked'.
 
Portishead "Machine Gun" mixed with blurry promises of 'something' only leaves the song 'doing the work'. The game footage tells me nothing - the song speaks of a dark relationship, emotional dispair, very personal fears.  
 
There is no room for a FPS... unless you give me something narrative, that carries a complementary message. Like a film negative to a positive.
 
(Again- sorry for going on about this. But hey, I get it. I have to swallow these things and live with them. Grumpy old man, that I am, haha. :)

Only thing that could make Metro better is awesome use of Portishead in a cryptic trailer.

nicely cut trailer. hopefully this is better than the first....which i had to stop playing cause i disliked it so.

I would say this was a teaser  not a trailer, funny how people already seems to be complaining about it . . .  -.- 
metro 2033 was a good game imo,  gonna keep an eye out for this

The editing seems somewhat reminiscens of early USSR propaganda movies. With very agressive cuts and a stark contrast between the material, to symbolise the stuggle of the people/classes. 
Seems fitting enough if you consider the material :)

I don't get what everyone's complaining about. I haven't played the first game and wasn't really interested, but this teaser/trailer does such a good job of creating mood that it's hooked me.
 
Of course, I am kind of the odd egg who values mood and story and the like in video games.

Lolling at the complainers that don't understand the concept of a teaser trailer. It's a game coming out in 2012 for god's sake, more substantial trailers generally get released a little closer to launch.
 
It's a very good teaser trailer as well. Looks like apocalyptic Russian art (Anton Grechk?) paired with Portishead, which is very cool.

That was a pretty cool trailer. Complete opposite of the MW3 Inception rip-off trailer

Metro 2033 was a brilliant game with an excellent pace. Unfortunatly theres too many COD kids to appreciate a more old skool style shooter such as this. Set piece driven numbskulls. I bet they would scoff at Half-Life. Philistines.

Awesome trailer.

That music is awesome.

Looks cool. I enjoyed 2033, but I got to a part where you had to hunt through some kind of train station for something to open a door, but you kept getting attacked by infinity re spawning things that would kill you in 1-2 hits and I just said fuck it. It was pitch black, I kept getting turned around, and I could never find the thing I needed to get past the point.  
 
Other then that though, it was a really great game that more people need to play.

How about on the easy setting?  Is there an easy setting?

Man, the first is still going for $40 on Amazon.

song?

I still need to finish the first one.

The song used is "Machine Gun" by Portishead

This trailer just got me pumped.

Artistic trailer. I liked it. It will be nice to see some solid gameplay footage in the future.

Metro 2033 is amazing. Hope they can keep it up with this game.

I dont expect and actual gameplay in game trailers. Especially early ones for a game. Hell so called gameplay trailers are cleaned up with no hud and perfectly smooth framerates taken from different angles in the game. If PR or whoever is trying to evoke something about the game I am fine with that.

The Gears of War + Adam Lambert's "Mad World" ??? Are you crazy? it was the Gary Jules version, an (awesome) cover of the (excellent) Tears for Fears song. Adam Lambert... sheesh
 
The Gears of War trailer was BULLSHIT too. It made out like that game had some kind of emotional story. The shit about your wife was pathetic, in fact 99% of Gears story is garbage. I really like those games, but they put very little effort into making it coherent.   In THAT instance a song was used to give the illusion that that game had a story when it had none. If anything it was taking a good songs credibility to give their own game some, when it had none. Yeah it won awards, but Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture at the Academy Awards too. This is not a TRAILER, it's a TEASER. It's flavour. It's showing you the game's themes are tone, not it's gameplay. In a short space of time I understood so much about that world - the gas masks, the monsters, the small spaces. You CANNOT comment on Metro Last Light's story based on THIS.  It sounds more like your a Portishead fan who has a bee in their bonnet.

I was excited about the first one until I played it. Then I quickly didn't like it lol

I actually really liked that trailer!
