Interview: Metro 2033′s Dmitry Glukhovsky and Huw Beynon

metro20334

While the post-apocalyptic setting is hardly new for games, few titles are based on a wildly successful near-future novel focused on sci-fi and Russian political satire in the Moscow underground. Very few, in fact.

Metro 2033 is unique in that respect. Built closely on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s book of the same name, it’s the first project from Ukrainian 4A Games, a splinter company formed from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. dev GSC. The FPS looks mint, to be blunt, throwing online everything firmly out of its irradiated window, dropping the HUD and sticking to plot only.

We caught up with Dmitry and producer Huw Beynon in London last week to find out more on the novel’s relationship to the game, why THQ decided to not go with a PS3 version and how Glukhovsky plans to smash international writing boundaries with an ambitious personal book publishing operation. Sterling stuff.
