Use the full-screen button and the 1080p resolution setting for the best experience. Watch on YouTube Metro 2033 - a commentated walkthrough of some of the changes found between the new Redux edition and the Xbox 360 original. There's the sense that 4A went the extra mile, revisiting and retooling the older game to improve continuity with its more advanced sequel. First impressions are promising then - from a developer's point of view, remasters can be a learning exercise, a chance to get to grips with the new hardware. Atmospheric rendering gets an upgrade, and even the icy weather systems are improved with denser flurries of dynamically generated snow. The gloomy lighting scheme of the original game's outdoor environments has also been swapped out for a brighter, yet harsher look utilising 4A's global illumination technology. Outdoor environments share the same basic geography (although we note some subtle tweaks) but the detail level is ramped up significantly - debris and other new geometry elements pepper the landscapes and additional blasted dead trees and foliage are commonplace. Comparing the original Xbox 360 and Redux Xbox One, we strongly suspect that where Last Light assets could help out, 4A used them where they could as direct like-for-like replacements: the mutated wild-life - showcased effectively in 2033's initial level - looks much better and character models are routinely switched out for far superior versions. 4A's solution? To go back to Metro 2033 and do as much as possible to bring its quality level up to match its successor. 4A's debut release was highly regarded at launch and its technological credentials were first class when it was released way back in 2010, but comparing the original 2033 with Last Light reveals a quality gulf that a standard 'remaster' on new tech in 2014 would only emphasise. For Metro Last Light, we're breaking out the PlayStation 4 edition of the Redux and comparing it directly with PlayStation 3.Ĭuriously, it's the revamp of Metro 2033 that is the surprise package.
METRO LAST LIGHT REDUX VS METRO 2033 REDUX PS3
For this piece, we want to give you a taste of the work 4A has done, so we'll be stacking up the original Xbox 360 version of Metro 2033 with the Reduxed Xbox One game - as there was no PS3 release there, it's the natural choice.
METRO LAST LIGHT REDUX VS METRO 2033 REDUX PS4
In fact, we'd say it's up there with the best.īearing in mind that there'll be PC, Xbox One and PS4 versions of Metro Redux to compare with the existing 360, PS3 and PC releases, that's a lot of potential comparison points. But most importantly of all, the remastering work is very, very good. That said, both of these titles will be coming to the Epic Store at some point in the future, giving them a new platform.The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One remasters are coming thick and fast, bringing with them a wave of controversy - should developers be concentrating resources on porting over games they've already made? Are resolution and frame-rate boosts enough? Most crucially of all, do they represent value for money? The Metro Redux package from Kiev-based 4A Games puts forward a hell of a good case: you get two complete games for £30 and each title is available solus via digital delivery for those who already own one of the originals. Last Light is suffering the same fate, and you can tell by the graph of recent reviews on both pages just how bad these reviews have been.Ī lot of these reviews directly reference the Epic Store, with some players even saying they love these games but are downvoting them just because of the recent decision. The Redux (remastered) versions of Metro 2033 and Last Light have dived in their Steam reviews since the announcement was made, with the former currently sitting on "mixed" following a wave of negative reviews. Suffice to say, this has annoyed some users, who have taken the decision to review bomb the previous two games on Steam, as reported by PCGamesN. This is all because the game will no longer be released on Steam except for those who have already pre-ordered it on Valve's platform or those who are willing to wait a year for the Epic exclusivity to end, since the game will be released on Steam in February of 2020. As you may have heard, 4A Games and Deep Silver made the decision to release Metro Exodus exclusively via the Epic Store for PC players when it launches on February 15, something that Valve wasn't too pleased about, calling the decision "unfair" on players.
