Success of action Metro 2033 became a surprise for all, first of all for a publishing house. The vice-president of THQ Danny Bilson declared that a game had been very profitable, although, certainly, it did not manage to reach to the tops of charts. Herein he blames the lack of attention from the side.
He told that he agreed to continue to develop of project with a studio 4A Games: «I will give you a direct answer: a game did not get sufficient support. This was a wonderful transaction. Developers did not require the pile of moneys from us, but they knew their business». Bilson acknowledged that «Metro 2033» required the additional «polishing», and marketing could be much better.
A publishing house undertook an obligation not to repeat similar errors at the issue of «Metro 2034»: «At a next game similar problems will not be. I gave green light for the second part before the release of the first part, because saw, what boys from 4A Games can create - they are shocking», - Bilson talks. He marked that «firing in game is necessary to move to a modern level». If we can remember,there were some problems at «Metro 2033» with it. A project will get a first-class marketing campaign which will begin on the exhibition of E3.
THQ took a course to accompaniment of games with film releasing, books, rollers and other similar products. But in this case they can't do it: a license belongs to Dmitry Glukhovsky: «I talked with him the other day. He has his own epic plans about the production of different mediaproducts. He going to make a movie», - Bilson talks and adds that he is quite untroubled about support and filling of the universe of Metro: it is successfully done without their participation.
I remind that Danny Bilson told this summer, that second part of is not needed to wait for a pair of years, because a «game is on the very early stage of development».
