    Companies that publish GOTY Editions get their names highlighted with a pink marker on my list of publishers. Sparkling stars and a smiley face sticker are awarded when they treat their customers with respect ;) No but really, GOTY Editions are definitely the way to go. I'm a patient man, I've intentionally missed out on 2011's & 2012's biggest releases because I would rather wait for the complete package. More bang for the buck equals a happy gamer.
    I'm eagerly awaiting further details, Mr. Tan.

    It appears I've missed your strong and welcomed entrance Professor Pew, so allow me to be the first!,... Uh, I mean 13th or 14th person to welcome you to our friendly forum! It's brought me (And most other members on this forum) much joy to see that you actually care about us fans and go out of your way to give us the answers we so crave.

    So basically I'd just like to say Thank you! from both me and the rest of the forum!

    You mean make it a timed-exclusive pre-order item? Not a bad idea.

    As deep silver is now the doing the marketing, will you please don' show us to much of the game. Most games nowadays do have to many trailers, previews, etc. For example Assassins Creed 3, I knew most of the game already from the trailers and the previews, which disappointed me. I liked the survivor trailers for Last Light, creating a hype without giving away to much of the game. Let's hope Deep Silver comes up with good marketing, I have faith in them.

    Noted! What we show of a game tends to depend on the game itself, and the audience. With previews it's a matter of how closely a writer pays attention to the game; if they play through an hour of gameplay we can't tell them not to write about every single thing. You can choose not to read it, though :).

    While we are on the topic, what are the most important things you all DO want to see in future trailers and other videos?

    Yep as in we people who preorder get it for free on launch. While normal people get it one week or two after launch. Thus we are rewarded for being early buyers, While the average john is not punished

    For me I would say some trailers shoeing stealth and the new athomsphere while showcasing the new game play without showing to much of the plot. :)

    Also tell 4a most of us say that the gameplay looks a tad bit too fast. Just slow it down a gesture.

    Welcome to the forums Maurice. I'll let you settle in and get some concrete info before I bombard you with questions. :D

    I can imagine it's hectic for you atm organizing Saints Row, Metro and the upcoming release of Dead Island Riptide.

    As you know Metro was already delayed and pushed forward to March 2013 - I can see it happening again as the takeover happened very close to the release date leaving little time to do PR, Marketing, Distribution and all that is involved with publishing a game.

    In the meanwhile I've followed you (@Pewology) on Twitter.

    I wish you and the Deep Silver team all the best with getting Metro Last Light out in tip-top shape and on time. :)

    See you around!

    Edit - Could an Admin/Mod possibly create a topic in the "Announcement" section to draw people to this thread? Additionally get hold of Luster and give our new CM a "Red" coloured Username?

    Thanks

    Personally I'd like to see more of the game. Not so much the gameplay (as much as my heart cries out for it) but rather it's build. Show us the magnificent environments the metro has to offer, the attention to detail. Show us not the gameplay but instead the world it fights to escape.

    This is why I so love the 'Genesis' trailer as it shows these points in a very mysterious and 'Metro-esque' fashion.

    ^ This, and maybe some weapons info (Sort of like how SEGA promotes the factions for RTW: 2, actually) on the website would be awesome :D
    Like how they're made, who uses them and what tactics would suit the specific weapon

    Already told skaara to tell luster. Also on the topic of trailers and such. there was a leak a while back. THQ requested for the photos to be removed from this website. Now that you guys own it can we post them again....... (majnu still has them saved on his comp by the way)

    The concept drawings and descriptions are spoilers to unannounced mutants in the game so I think that it shouldn't be made public imho.

    You don't want to give too much away from leaks/screenshots of weapons, characters, plots, mutants etc as it will ruin the game for many die hard fans including myself.

    I wonder if the game is in "Gold" status for all platforms now?

    Please give us some time to sort out what THQ had prepared, what was released/leaked, and what we want to reveal ourselves :)

    I just want to express how glad I am that you guys picked Metro up instead of Ubisoft. Thank you Deep Silver!

    And, of course, welcome Professor Pew. I hope you enjoy your stay here and that no one is too rude to you, that tends to happen in official forums on the internet.

    Glad to see you have joined the forums.

    Once Deep Silver has gotten everything sorted out with Saints Row 4 and Metro can you start advertising Metro because hardly anybody knows about it. Also don't forget Dead Island: Riptide. Heaps of people know about that game.

    I guess I'm going to be buying a few of Deep Silver's games this year and sorry fo calling Deep Silver a developer and not a publisher.
