Interview with Metro 2033 author

[King of Creation]

<strong>[ Literature -> Interview ]</strong>

<p>Polish website Polygamia has an interview with the guy who wrote the book that the game <em>Metro 2033</em> is based on. The author, Dmitry Glukhovsky, discusses how <em>Fallout</em> influenced the book, but not the game.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>Speaking of books, definitely Roadside Picnic. Speaking of games , I'm 30 now and have been playing games for more than a half of my life. I started playing when I was back in school, the first Fallout was released when I was 14, so I played it in 9th, 10th and 11th grade of my school, and then first and second year of my university. It was then when I conceived and started writing the book. And definitely it was an influence. I didn't play the third Fallout (although I intend to). Although I was inspired by Fallout, the game developers were not. They have their own, distinct vision of post-apocalypse.
[Actually, looks like Dmitry made a mistake here - in reality Fallout was released 4 years later - translator's note]</em></p>

Its not like STALKER didn't have anything to do with it.

[Ausir]

It's not a book adaptation of the game. The game is an adaptation of the book. And he's not "writing it" but it was published in 2007.
