Look to the right. Looks like the dog was eating this guy.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

I hope this can be a real Stalker substitute now.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

This sounds really exciting:

A press release following the show touted the game's ”nonlinear levels" and noted that the plot would take place across ”an entire year," with each season represented.

Ashens, The Last Night, and The Artful Escape for me, too.

They look great. The Last Night is the one I'm especially excited for. The world needs more Blade Runner-inspired games.

 

[Kayhan]

 

[Rocketz]

Super excited for this. Glad to finally see it.

 

[MegaSackman]

The Music. 28 days later vibes...omg

This was the hypest moment at MS conference

Was thinking the same!

Impressive game, excellent music.

 

[Landford]

Seens a direct sequel for Metro 2035

(Spoiler for the Book)

Spoiler

Seens They left Moscow and the world is still shit, but at least the air isnt poisonous anymore.

HQ version 1080p60 straight from the publisher

This is so nice.

Tons of great subtle rendering things occuring.

Transparency caustics from the gas mask glass lens (first game I have ever seen to have coloured transparency shadows) + tessellated snow:

GPU particles (a series staple at this point):

Lit particles (check out the window illuminating the particles, hard to see if hard shadows can cast through and onto them though):

Global Volumetrics (coming through the opening in the structure on the left):

Volumetric Cloud Rendering:

Global Illumination (illuminating the inside locally) plus shadows on transparencies (the glass jars on the right):

And then hair translucency-lighting and physics (hairworks?):

[Olengie]

So excited. Loved the first game and Last Light.

 

[ced]

That looked really fake.

 

[Anung]

Game of the show for me. Metro 2033 and Last Light were my favourite games of last generation.

 

[dripdripsplash]

So awesome!!! Finally something like stalker

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

This and Anthem are my games of the show so far.

 

[jondoyle1234]

I pray this does not get downgraded

I pray and pray and pray

 

[ghostjoke]

Steam too

Phew. I was dreading even entertaining the idea of pushing a new Metro level fidelity game through the Windows Store pipeline.

 

[Vibranium]

I hope Artyom talks in this one. It looks like he might be silent again though, I really want to see him play off other characters.

Looking excellent, Metro and the books are great.

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

I really hope they give us mod support. Look at the kind of longevity the STALKER series has thanks to the community.

 

[therealminime]

People thinking this is a target render are making me smile a bit. The first two games on PC are old and still look stellar. Last Light at the time, four years ago, was like the best looking thing I'd seen on PC.

This. Even though it's a vertical slice, Last Light almost looked this good and that came out 4 years ago

 

[Akronis]

Yes please.

If they're still using 4A engine, I doubt mod tools are going to happen. Didn't happen for any of their previous titles.

 

[Aikidoka]

I'm pretty excited for it, being a fan of Last Light, which is only $5 on steam right now

 

[Piichan]

Played Metro Redux last year on PS4 and had a blast. Excited for this, but to be honest, I'm a little worried about "open world" being thrown around. I hope the more open-ended approach doesn't mess too much with the tight singleplayer campaign.

 

[Monkeyball]

In-engine is a dangerous word.

 

[Daingurse]

Nice. I really liked the previous Metro games.

 

[mortal]

I really enjoyed the first two games. It seems that everything is going open world these days, but it feels like a natural evolution for the series. Looking forward to it.

 

[Kayhan]

I hope Metro keeps evolving right into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

This better be more enjoyable than the first two. Really let down by its pacing and was downright boring in many places.

 

[ZXoneXZ]

I'm hyped about this game,
I loved Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light.
That trailer looked really good.

 

[Dictator93]

In-engine is a dangerous word.

It is obviously at some parts (like the beginning and any of the more organic movement sections) just a first person cinematic animation playing back in the real time rendering engine. Not actual player movement. Everything here is very much so believable from a rendering perspective.

 

[Sarcasm]

Enjoyed the first two. I was so not ready for a third >.>

 

[Sini]

This is so nice.

Tons of great subtle rendering things occuring.

Transparency caustics from the gas mask glass lens (first game I have ever seen to have coloured transparency shadows[/URL]

StarCraft 2 has colored shadows from transparencies too.

 

[RuinerPrime]

Still have both metro games in my backlog. Looking forward to it.

 

[Dictator93]

StarCraft 2 has colored shadows from transparencies too.

oh shit, really? (actually now that I think about it... I think the bar scenes in the cinematics for the campaign would showcase that pretty well).

 

[Kayhan]

Please please please have Day 1 Ranger Mode. None of that DLC bullshit.

No Ranger Mode, no Day 1 buy.

I am going to hold out for that.

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

1 and 2 are 4.99 on steam atm.
Time to buy it seems

 

[brawly]

Open world? Ugh, another one.

 

[Skatterd]

This looks fucking amazing. I spent the rest of the conference thinking about this.

 

[Hooks]

Looks great might finally have a stalker fix

 

[biteren]

loved toe 2 first games, im super down for this.

 

[therealminime]

This looks fucking amazing. I spent the rest of the conference thinking about this.

Same. This and Wolfenstein 2 on the same day is going to leave me incredibly satisfied.

 

[CrayToes]

Totally unexpected. Possibly game of the show for me already. Your turn, Wolfenstein.

 

[metareferential]

Open world? Ugh, another one.

It's not really a free-roam, though. Open-ended levels.

 

[ronaldthump]

looks amazing. :O

 

[Sini]

oh shit, really? (actually now that I think about it... I think the bar scenes in the cinematics for the campaign would showcase that pretty well).

I remember very clearly that Protoss Pylons had translucent shadows, but I just booted it up and they actually don't.
Weird.
There's this though:
http://amd-dev.wpengine.netdna-cdn....12/10/S2008-Filion-McNaughton-StarCraftII.pdf
Talking about transparent shadows from page 51.

Aand I found this after some googling:

They must have removed that from Pylons for whatever reason, because minerals still have colored shadows.

 

[faridmon]

That looked way too good to be in real time. I need more proof before I can get excited.

 

[Carlius]

now this is a good looking game...here we go baby, day fucking 0

 

[Ballistic Peanut]

STALKER in the Metro universe? HELL YA!

 

[Despera]

Cool. Now we just need some gameplay footage.

 

[Darknight]

I thought this was exclusive to MS? Their conference messaging was really bad.

 

[belvedere]

Im guessing the answer is no but was there ever a Pro patch for Last Light? Need to pick this back up for sure.
