Metro Redux is a Post-Apocalyptic First Person Shooter, and is a two-part remake of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. Metro Redux remakes both games with a improved 4A Engine. While Metro: Last Light will have a improved version, Metro 2033 will be completely remade in the Last Light engine with the same features as Metro: Last Light.

INFO:

Release Date: August 26 2014
Platforms: PS4/Xbox One/PC
Price: $49.99 for both, or $24.99 for each digitally
Performance: 1080p/60fps on PS4 / 900p/60fps on Xbox One
Developer: 4A Games
Publisher: Deep Silver

METRO 2033 CHANGES:
-All-new lighting engine.
-Lower end PCs perform better.
-Cinematics have been redone and are now presented in first-person perspective.
-Features day and night cycles.
-More detail to levels and will boast greater visual fidelity.
-Some levels have been expanded such as: the Dead City section is now a single level.
-60fps on next-gen consoles.
-Borrows a few gameplay elements for Metro: Last Light, such as adding the option to wipe your mask clean as well as combat improvements - like stealth takedowns and weapon customization
-All character's models will be changed to the Last Light version.
-Metro 2033 Redux will gain all weapons from Last Light and its DLCs.
-More realistic weapon handling: the game tracks whether or not there is a round still in the chamber when reloading.

METRO LAST LIGHT CHANGES:
-Graphical upgrades
-Improved gameplay
-Includes all Last Light downloadable content.
-Players will be able to check their watch and inventory.

CHANGES TO BOTH GAMES:
-Supports Ranger Mode
-Each title can be played in one of two difficulty modes: Survival or Spartan. Survival is modeled after Metro 2033, having more limited supplies and ammunition, slower reload speeds and tougher enemy AI. Spartan makes the game more action- oriented and gives players more resources, in the style of Metro: Last Light.

[bbd23]

Awwww yea!

can't wait to pick up 2033 redux.

edit: apparently reviews are coming tomorrow?

 

[BLUElightCory]

Excited for this, especially the shiny new version of 2033.

Hopefully these games can expand their audience, they're criminally overlooked. Some of the most immersive games I've played.

 

[Live Free or Die]

I'll be buying this. I can't believe this isn't up for pre-order on the PS Store yet.

 

[JohnGrimm]

I should probably jump on the loyalty offer for 2033.

 

[shinobi602]

Never played either one...really tempted to go day 1 on this.

 

[MisterShine]

I don't have the mental fortitude to go through the Library again, I just don't.

Sorry Artyom

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Oh man....tempted.

Any reason to get this if I already own both on PC?

 

[meptrep]

Just recently beat 2033 on PC. I'm looking forward to them extending the in between sections of levels that used to just fade into a loading screen.

Hopefully the purist mode or whatever I heard about in that video they released retains all the elements that made 2033 on ranger hardcore actually challenging. Last Light on ranger hardcore was way too easy.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

This is really coming at the wrong time. Between Diablo 3, PvZ and Destiny I just don't have time . Gonna pick it up at some point though.

 

[psychotron]

Going day 1. I'm so fucking weak Gaf. 1080P/60....it's too much to pass up.

 

[Mupod]

I preordered 2033 and never got around to finishing it, my PC at the time wasn't doing it justice and by the time I got a better one...well, you know. I didn't get Last Light because I still intended to finish 2033 so I guess Redux is kinda convenient.

 

[Tapejara]

Really excited for this. Loved both games on PS3 and 360. Can't wait to play them at 60 FPS.

Also, thanks for finally ending my search for that first screenshot!

 

[SniperHunter]

Cudder u run a youtube game channel right? Your ps2 gameplay video was amazing

 

[El_Chino]

Day 1!

 

[RyudBoy]

Will buy.

 

[Cudder]

 

[VinFTW]

Super excited for this. Not sure if I'll pick up for PS4 or X1... All I know is, I think I'm going to wait till next summer and backlog it :/

Too many games, too fast!

 

[MisterShine]

Oh man....tempted.

You should seriously consider getting 2033 at least, it is discounted already since you own the first, and it is ported into LL's engine which makes it even prettier, and apparently they added a bunch of little portions to the game to help it flow better. And the new mode seems cool for a playthrough.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Redux will be my first time playing the Metro games, period. Am I in for a treat, GAF?

 

[Love Deterrence]

Great OT! Picking this up day one. Gotta support developers who put this much work into this sort of release.

 

[Cudder]

Redux will be my first time playing the Metro games, period. Am I in for a treat, GAF?

It will be my fist time too. All signs point to yes.

Cudder u run a youtube game channel right? Your ps2 gameplay video was amazing

Nope.

 

[WoolyNinja]

I love horror movies but for some reason cannot handle horror/suspenseful games. Anyone who has played the originals - how scary are these games. And how much of the game is that way?

 

[Peterthumpa]

Is it confirmed to look like this on PS4/X1? Aren't these Physx enabled features?

 

[UnrealEck]

If you like linear and atomospheric shooters then yes.

Is it confirmed to look like this on PS4/X1? Aren't these Physx enabled features?

I think they're pre-animated using PhysX. I'm sure the cloth in that scene is the same on all platforms. The non pre-animated stuff like debris from explosions, sparks, smoke and fog, glass shards and crumbling concrete from bullets are only with realtime PhysX though.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Should I pick this up or Diablo 3 UE?

 

[meptrep]

I love horror movies but for some reason cannot handle horror/suspenseful games. Anyone who has played the originals - how scary are these games. And how much of the game is that way?

There's some jump scare moments I'm sure at some points, just enemies unexpectedly jumping out of places and stuff. The atmosphere is pretty spooky I suppose and it's done very well, but I still wouldn't consider the Metro series as horror games.

 

[OldGangWarily]

Wow! I didn't know that it's 50% off for owners of the original. I may bite now. Lets see the reviews

 

[RoKKeR]

That's cool you know it's not like I claimed this OT or anything and have been working on it... PM'd you OP. Please use the official OT organizing thread in Gaming Community next time instead of just randomly making one unclaimed.

I'm obviously looking forward to this.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Shoulda been

Metro Redux |OT| In Post-Apocalyptic Russia, Redux Remasters You

 

[sn00zer]

Prerendered physics saved to an animation file...at least it was on PS360

 

[Neuromancer]

Get out of here, stalker!

Can't wear to replay both of these games next week. $50 for both of them is a steal.

 

[NegativeCero]

Well this snuck up on me. Gonna have to pick this up later on.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

I don't know what is better, an extra 180p or the superior controller and triggers....

 

[psychotron]

[metareferential]

Waiting for these babies to go up for preload on Steam. Can't wait.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Looking forward for these to unlock on Steam.

It'll be my first time with 2033!

 

[RoboPlato]

I need this ASAP. Can't wait!

 

[Messofanego]

Lame cover, original is better. I like looking at mine:

Yay to more people getting to experience these games for the first time!

 

[Watevaman]

I love horror movies but for some reason cannot handle horror/suspenseful games. Anyone who has played the originals - how scary are these games. And how much of the game is that way?

Its pretty much a shooter first and foremost. Both games have sections where you encounter horror elements but they're usually for pacing reasons or to explore the atmosphere more.

Although I will say that if spiders scare you, LL has a level that you will hate.

 

[Cubed]

One week!

I'm glad when I'm in situations like this; meaning, I like when I'm looking forward to the game but for some reason it keeps slipping off my mind and then it's magically right around the corner when I start to really itch for it.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's great that the HW is at least there on PS4, to at least appreciate this more at a good resolution. I will say this, on PC, 2033 is a much needed upgrade just for the new engine optimizations alone.

 

[Amir0x]

yah im about to do this shit

i wish PC gamers got lot a free update if they own the other Metro games already, but I know that was never realistic. Will buy

 

[legacyzero]

My game of 2013. Buy this game GAF

 

[NoirVisage]

wheres the rabbit carcass?

kidding aside, that's bad business OP, gotta check these things before you pull the trigger.

 

[Guri]

Never played either one...really tempted to go day 1 on this.

You really should!

OP, by the way, shouldn't you say that Metro Last Light will also be 60 fps, just to avoid any confusion?

 

[jond76]

To those who have played these: How much time do you spend outside?

I played a bit of the first one and it was mostly underground. I understand the narrative is a big reason why, I'm just a sucker for apocalyptic cities.

For those wondering why RoKKeR is (rightly) upset at OP, there is a thread where |OT|s are claimed and RoKKeR had claimed this OT.

A fair amount, especially in LL.

We are trying to work out the details now. I might end up dumping some of my assets in this one. I simply wasn't finished as I was trying to pull together some cool insider stories which was taking more time than I had hoped.
