Metro Redux - Announcement Trailer

I doubt that will be the case here.
I wouldn't hold my breath for one.
Edit: I stand corrected for this foolhardy assertion!

Only own the first one Steam. Will buy this on PS4
If you're using the ESRAM, its really 792p thats the "sweet spot" (and no, this isn't trolling).

I enjoyed Last Light very much and it looks and performed like a champ on my pc. I never did play much of the first Metro though as it just didnt run well at all on my rig. No matter the settings it just ran slowly. I hope the pc version is updated but if not I'll get the console version.

I've only played the first 4 hours or so of metro 2033 (started playing it a couple of days ago for the first time ever) and here are some of my initial impressions with it in regards to its atmosphere (crossposted from the idle thumbs thread):
One of the things that game does so well (and it's an easy thing to do when you think about it but it's rarely ever done or done well) is that when you're in a crowd of people, they're not just standing there and patiently waiting for the player to come over to finally spring to life and become your own personal disney world animatronic, like in most games of its type where the developers want you to hear every single word out of everyone's mouth. The underground shanty towns of Metro 2033 truly feel alive in a way that I haven't felt has been executed that well since the half life games. People are conversing with one another and having typical banal conversations and theyre apparently doing it on their own time, too, about subjects ranging from being hit on by men that they're interested in to recurring nightmares they're having, sometimes even having sincere moments like when a father and son discuss what their future is going to be like once mom comes home, only to hear the sadness in the father's tone increase as the conversation comes to a close, one reading between the lines and knowing that this fantasy will remain just that until the boy is old enough to understand the truth.
As another good example, I was in a room with the leader of one town and the door of the room had been left open. As the guy was speaking to me about whatever thing he needed me to do in who knows where for god knows what purpose, I could hear the crowd of men and soldiers who were sitting and hanging out by a fire outside suddenly erupt in laughter. I actually got distracted by this and felt like I had just missed out on a great moment because I was stuck talking to sir mister plot advancer and I turned my character's head towards where I had heard the laughter coming from for just a second to see if I could catch even just a bit of whatever they were talking about. And it totally hit me that that's exactly what I would've done in real life, too, that the reaction i had was a genuine, non-gamey reaction which may have only been possible because the developers didn't feel the need to make this shooter a linear explodeaton megafire shooty pop pop game that is set at 1000% action almost the entirety of the game.

This is awesome, curious to replay 2033 with the new engine.
Is that a actually a technical fact? I didn't know that, interesting. Either way my cares for resolutions are slowly decreasing as time goes on...it all looks pretty good to me.
Great to hear about the pricing, upgrades to 2033, the whole thing seems great and I hope people pick this up. Trying to decide whether to go digital or physical.

Just noticed that your character's wearing the watch from the old game. Which is great!

1080p/60fps, Euro 39.99 for two games. I hope other developers/publishers take that as an example.
Technical fact, no, but I saw some math in another topic which suggested that 792p was being used because its the most efficient way to use the ESRAM. Hopefully someone else can link to it.

Will the creatures remain bullet sponges in 2033?
And now according to gamingbolt they are not confirming that. Just that it's that atm
There are reports that the Xbox One will be running at 900P. We decided to get in touch with DeepSilver’s PR agency again. The PR said that the last they heard is that it’s not final at all but that the PS4 was running at 1080p. We will update this story if we hear more.

They still felt a bit spongy in Last Light so I doubt it.They really just need to add gore to the mutants so that the feedback of shooting them feels like you are actually hitting them with something that could actually kill them.
Compare this to Windwaker HD, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition or Last of Us Remastered.

Are these games good? I don't know anything about them really.
I mean, that was fixed with the release of the original Ranger DLC. Most of the tunnel trash is a OHK with a .44/15mm/MGR.

I love that they rebuilt Metro 2033 using the new engine, oh yes!
What if you already own Metro 2033 on PC? Will it get updated for free or do you need to buy it seperately?
Wait, they did improvements to both games?

Ah, compared to other remasters I can see how folks would find the pricing fair, still odd to see when I snagged both of these games for $5 on pc.
Also, for the PC guys I just wanted to share something that was posted on the LL forums:
"You get a 50% discount for the respective Redux game if you already own its predecessor in Steam and a 25% discount for the whole bundle.
If you own both you get a 50% discount for both."
NICE!

Wow I'm will probably get this when I get a PS4. 1080 60fps and cheap. I've heard good things about these games.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!

Very good. I might buy them.
This also means it will be a seperate game in Steam like the DX:HR Director's Cut.

Play on ranger hardcore, monsters take quite a bit less damage due to the increased laethality of your weapons.
Everyone should play this game on Rager Hardcore. Especially since they are adding more consistent mechanics for checking your suppplies apparently.

I played Metro: LL on PC for a couple of hours but never finished the game. It was a graphically demanding game and badly optimized. Had to dumb down the graphics (no PhysX, Tessellation, lower details etc) and the game still had framerate drops. If the console versions don't look like shit because the engine still isn't optimized, I'll definitely grab the PS4 version.
