Getting a game to 60fps 1080p isn't hard. Getting it to 1080p 60fps with good visuals is. As they never say what the equivalent settings to PC the games are running at, saying it's 1080p 60fps is meaningless. This could be on PC equivalent low settings, and they'd still get praised for getting it to 60fps...
Okay....
Exactly. And the 60 frames tell me they had to turn down lot of the good stuff. I personally hoped for 1080p and 30 frames with great textures.

Love both games and definitely recommend them to anyone who hasn't bought them yet
Textures are not some huge resource, they take up video memory, but PS4 has plenty.

Like I said, I would love to be proven wrong because I mainly play on console. Just being realistic that's all.

I didn't even know what Vines are until today. Another silly social media thing.
Not a good way to show off your game. Off screen cam'd it looks awful.
I've already played it, but I wouldn't mind replaying on PS4 at a decent price.

Plenty? Last time I checked 5GB total memory (3Gb reserved for OS) isn't a lot when it's also the VRAM.

Is this a PS4 exclusive?
Nope, XB1 too but I dont know if they will get 1080P and/or 60FPS like they are hinting for PS4.
The price I will most likely have to pay including shipping costs.
This thread went to hell (predictably). How certain are we this is being announced tomorrow?
Okay....
Yeah, the game ran ridiculously well on a 680 with a paltry 2 GB VRAM. The downside to the streaming system, however, was the texture pop-in, which was regrettably fairly noticeable even on a system with a beefy CPU, GPU and SSD.

My daily intake of GAF has severely dwindled due to the PC master race coming up with all sorts odd and obscure arguments to back up their investments in threads that literally have nothing to do with PC

I could just play the PS+ version on the ol PS3, but if this really is 60fps I'll be buying the PS4 version.

Shame some visual sacrifices are going to need to be made to get this 1080p @ 60. No way it's near maxed out settings... but who knows, I wonder how it would run with Advanced DOF off, Physx off and instead of MSAA/SS, some form of SMAA or FXAA. I'd be alright with that, lower settings though... might as well play it on PC if you have a good enough computer.
I actually own both on PC, but have not played LL yet. I'd like to pick it up for PS4 since I need stuff to play on it.

Hot dog. I'm sure there will have to be visual compromises, but even targetting 60FPS for such an advanced game on a console is pretty neat.

Only played last light and didn't get to finish it so this will be a treat.

I played the shit out of this game on PC...it was just so fun. I literally re-played a few encounters in the game over 50+ times going at them different ways just because it was so fun.

You're right. I'm hanging my hat on immersion, and the experience that it delivers. Graphics just help sell that.
If you compare optimization between pc version of 2033 and last ligth, difference is incredible. Since LL, 4A worked in a new set of tweaks. All those optimizations in the last engine version will be available for both games in the redux edition. For ng platforms and pc, so I guess will be a similar case than Tomb raider where they cut here and there where is hardly visible for regular eyes but add some fancy new effects with great performance. I think 2033 redux edition on pc will have a lot higher framerate than original version with better visuals (using some low precision shaders, I guess).
Here is M:LL being played on Radeon 7870 on Ultra [unknown AA] with "Min-36 Average-40 Max-59"

All in all, we can expect very pretty game on PS4 running at 1080p60. It will no be set on Ultra, but console optimizations will make it look close to it.

So far these remakes are working out nice for me as i have not played any of the metros, well kinda of but was on psn and didn't want to play it knowing at the time the remakes was coming, Also never played the last of us and tomb raider.
60fps is great regardless of small cut backs to resolution or detail (if there is which is highly likely).

I'm currently playing this game on the PS3 and I've watched several video of it running on high end PCs and I still can't quite put my finger on how people are fooled into believing this is a graphical masterpiece. The graphics are good but not incredible. Perhaps it's the complexity of the environments that fools people into thinking the graphics are great? The presentation is pretty interesting though and definitely makes me want to finish it. I haven't got a clue why people sell this game because of it's graphics though ... very odd.

Naw, c3 on high looks much better than KZS sorry. KZ's jaggy visuals also kills the visual factor for me.

Watching a video of the game on a high-end PC isn't the same as seeing on a high-end PC in person. No one is being fooled into thinking the graphics are great.

Yes it is. Playing the game on the PS3 shows me it's not a graphical showcase too. It doesn't matter how high the resolution is, you can still tell when a game has great graphics. It's good, yes, but other games blow it away.

There are specific ESRB guidelines for using Vines to promote video games, so we had to insert the [MATURE] bit in the text of each tweet for that reason. Just using our own voice to shout "PROBABLY RATED M FOR MATURE" in each Vine, while holding up a makeshit ESRB sign, was sadly not an option.
This is also why you sometimes see "[M]" in YouTube trailer tweets from, say, @xbox: https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/468786988423065600
Video games!

The original game has a dynamic global illumination system on PC that is activated through an .ini.
Beyond that, no... just hand placed arist lights.
They will in all likelihood not add "new graphical effects" to the PS4 version. That is to metro LL... metro 2033 is probably getting the engine overhaul and will look and run fantastic.

I played Crysis 3 on a mixture of medium and high settings and KZSF looked just as good.
When was this announced!? The first next/current-gen announcement that I've missed. OMFG... My copy of Metro 2033 is still unplayed and a while ago I was wondering should I get the 360 or PS3 version of Last Light. Well, PS4 it is then, lol.
EDIT: So 2033 is (probably) going to be included too? It's getting even better.

Every setting goes up to very high
A higher setting doesn't change the graphics, it changed the clarity of the graphics.

This is a bit old, but a very touching story and my heart and support goes out to these guys.There was also a EuroGamer interview a while back where they explained some technical stuff that was really awesome to read.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...etro-last-light-is-the-triumph-of-an-underdog
On top of that they delivered 2 great games in the Metro series so far, so I'm definitely going to buy this for the PS4 (double dipping) as well.
Metro is such a unique experience, graphically, atmosphere, story...it all comes nicely together IMO.
Them achieving 60fps is rather impressive, but what can you expect from a bunch of skilled developers that live and breath gaming.
Awesome stuff A4Games, keep them coming!
