    Anyone still remember that new gameplay trailer we were supposed to get sometime last month, but never really did? Well, I was wondering - are we still going to get it? And if so, does anyone know when?

    The game isn't too long from releasing, around three months, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were no more gameplay trailers, the next trailer being at VGA (maybe) and then the launch trailer.

    Well, then I hope we do get one before the release. Perhaps a launch trailer? Or even better: something a bit earlier, to keep us hyped for it. :p Though one would definitely be enough, as I don't want any significant spoilers.

    It's not sure if they even can release Metro, I read in a news article that they didn't have the money to finish their next releases(CoH 2, South Park RPG and Metro). I doubt if they gonna show us a trailer of a game that they maybe can't even release.

    THQ has devoted quite a bit of money to 4A Games for the development of Last Light - they want to make it their hit game that will bring THQ back on its feet, so I think they'll do everything in their power right now to get this game released. :)

    Because all the rumors you find on the internet are true.

    Yes, maybe THQ's stocks are down. But all businesses are in the river of defecation without a means of locomotion, right? I'm sure they'll survive long enough to release Metro in March. It's four months guys.

    It isn't a rumor when many sites confirm it.

    Of course, it is no rumour that THQ is doing quite badly in financial terms, but some websites often blow things out of proportion. Joe went on the forum not that long ago to reassure us that the situation isn't as bad as the media make it out to be, and there's hope for many changes to take place under new leadership. :)

    Rolf, that is a good idea. Best to have high hopes and low expectations... I'm just sick of waiting. :p

    How reliable is vg chartz? These figures for global metro 2033 sales can't be right surely..

    http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=metro 2033

    Anyway THQ is in financial trouble, otherwise the online reports would have been taken down or updated with a statement from THQ.

    If the fate of THQ lies in the sales of it's games, then it has to produce good IP's. Metro, C&C 2 and South Park are some of them which the public look forward to, including myself.

    I think that the 4A studio should have expanded so that all platforms were catered for which includes the WiiU. I only hope that THQ's marketing team and public facing communication leads or Community Managers give justice to all the games and don't fuck it up. After all their jobs are on the line if the online reports are as serious as it's made out to be.

    THQ isn't immediately threatened with going out of business, or with the inability to release the games we are currently working on, or any of the doomsday predictions for a quick demise that you see on news outlets. Regardless, it is apparent that THQ has some work to do to get back to profitable standing which is why the board of directors hired Jason Rubin to come in and overhaul the operation ... but this doesn't happen overnight or in the span of one or two financial reports. Give Jason and his executive team some time to turn the fate of the company around ... they are already well on their way!

    Regarding new content, including the previously promised trailer, we will have new things to showcase beginning later this month and all the way through release in March 2013. Yes, this includes multiple trailers and other video pieces to satiate your appetites. I know things have been a little herky-jerky the past few months but our road map is now set and you will be seeing a lot more content in the months to come.

    If you have any questions you would like to ask me directly, feel free to PM me or email metrovideogame@gmail.com. I am here to help :)

    Joe @ THQ

    Let's hope that it isn't THQ's Last Breath. :D

    Great news on the Road Map. Can't wait for some new info.

    Btw was the Metro LL limited edition offerings which was posted here and on IGN Spain true or just some kind of fan hoax? The thread has been removed now so I "guess" it was true.
