Next Saints Row, Metro Games Will Be “Faithful To Their Franchises”, Say New Owners

Kotaku: Koch Media owns publisher Deep Silver (Dead Island). It now owns both the Saints Row and Metro franchises, along with the studios that made them.

The franchises will be alright long as Koch/Deep Silver just publish and don't interfere

W8 new metro? what does windows 8 metro style have to do with this?

GiantFriendlyCrab4109d ago

i wonder if Sega would also be faithful to future Company of heroes series

Summons754109d ago

Ummmm dead island sucked so I'm nervous but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this one time to see how they do

Kalowest4109d ago

I love Dead Island, so "Saints Row and Metro" are in good hands to me.

Lou Ferrigno4108d ago

dead island wasn't even CLOSE to sucking .. If you're a Zombie Fanatic like myself and Millions of others who played and Enjoyed the game,then you will know it is one of the funnest co-op Zombie games ever Created.. Granted there were some bugs that plagued the game but not deeming it unplayable by anymeans .. So trust me,its in good hands now =)

Summons754108d ago

How? The game was unplayable add that to the horrible gameplay machanics. I like zombie games but that was just god awful.

@Summons75

If it was "unplayable" how did you know the "mechanics" were horrible. Be careful when tossing around hyperbole.

Dead Island was a good game. It was playable from beginning to end and the devs chosen mechanics worked. Could it have been better? Sure, but it did what it did fine.

Not liking it is one thing, calling a broken mess is another. That's just false.

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3379d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast78d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.

Metro: Last Light - Still Fresh After 10 Years

4A Games' Metro: Last Light originally launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC 10 years ago today, and still holds up.

I got bored of Hogwarts crazy quick and it's bugs, was looking for just any good game got the Metro trilogy for about £8.50 in a Steam sale played through 2033 Redux, Last Light Redux and now am on Exodus. The series is awesome, the first two are like more liner story driven FPS with a few options to confront the levels, stealth, no kill runs and guns blazing, depending on how you play effects the story and its outcome. Third game I'm playing now is heavy story driven (but optional if you don't want to listen you can just walk away... I don't know why you would though) with large open levels that take hours to explore and still some of the best use of RTX I've seen to date, can play this game on ultra with DLSS set to quality, raytracing set to ultra at 4K with no dips, played on Extreme setting and was getting a few drops around water and some interiors.

Cant recommend this series enough and as a new fan I can't wait to see the next game in 2024... I also got the audio books so looking forward to see how well the games follow the original books. A4 Games are extremely talented.
