    I didn't really get that impression from the trailer, it looks a lot more like fallout 3 than NS...

    their website has a surprising lack of information but no, there's nothing there that makes me think it's 'stolen' ideas from NS2.

    Plus, video game development is king of like creating music or artwork. People inspire other people. You hear Gabe from Penny Arcade talk about the styles he tries to incorporate from other artists and you may have seen the twitter update where UWE redid their weapon models after playing Killzone 2. It's not really stealing...

    I think the reason why i thought of ns was cuz of the flying creature reminded me of lerk.

    The only thing which might be from NS is a creature that wall walks, but hey UWE took that from Aliens :P

    Also it does not look like the NS style, I do not get a sci-fi feeling from the graphics design. The weapons look like current weapons. I don't see this resemblance you're talking about... It looks more like a post-apocalyptic (fallout 3-ish) kind of game.

    I've been obsessed with Metro for a while now. The game is being made by some of the guys that made the Xray engine (Stalker's engine) so that explains the similarities.
    I think it looks incredible, and anything even slightly related to Stalker is win in my book. Ukraine, you have my love.

    Also, Killing Floor is one of my personal best games of this year (unless NS2 is released).

    Since this game has nothing to do with NS2, I moved it to off topic to discuss it. Looks like it could be fun :)

    Meh, NS is just a rip-off on Gloom with the RTS bit added in. Nobody complains about that.

    Why do people complain when others 'rip off' other games? If they still fail making a good game, sucks to be them. If they succeed, i'm all over that. Everyone takes stuff from everyone irregardless.

    Well, there's rip-off, and then there's blatant rip-off. You wouldn't want the game you're a devout follower of to fail because some dude with more money stole its thunder.

    Cant really steal much from ns, as it was concepted from starcraft, aliens, and gloom.

    Its the art world, inspiration from others brings new things. Just as long as its not a copy :p
