Huw Beynon - THQ's Head of Global Communications for original shooter IPs - seems determined that, whatever happens, Last Light shouldn't be "dumbed down".
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
4A Games celebrates the 10th anniversary of its first-person shooter by offering it free for a week.
4A Games' Metro: Last Light originally launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC 10 years ago today, and still holds up.
I got bored of Hogwarts crazy quick and it's bugs, was looking for just any good game got the Metro trilogy for about £8.50 in a Steam sale played through 2033 Redux, Last Light Redux and now am on Exodus. The series is awesome, the first two are like more liner story driven FPS with a few options to confront the levels, stealth, no kill runs and guns blazing, depending on how you play effects the story and its outcome. Third game I'm playing now is heavy story driven (but optional if you don't want to listen you can just walk away... I don't know why you would though) with large open levels that take hours to explore and still some of the best use of RTX I've seen to date, can play this game on ultra with DLSS set to quality, raytracing set to ultra at 4K with no dips, played on Extreme setting and was getting a few drops around water and some interiors.
Cant recommend this series enough and as a new fan I can't wait to see the next game in 2024... I also got the audio books so looking forward to see how well the games follow the original books. A4 Games are extremely talented.
I prefer to play a fps that is difficult and present's a steep challenge, that's why I loved Metro 2033 so much, besides the atmosphere.
Oh boy.....Here we go with that famous accessibility line...I won't even bother with Metro anymore if they aim for the mainstream action crowd.....Watch THQ make 4A add multiplayer and other crappy features that aren't needed within the Metro universe.....4A better realize true fans of the series want the game to stick to the Metro formula...The original Metro should over 1 million copies because the gameplay/story was good plus 4A games are made up of former STALKER developers...
Yes. Yes, it is the same. Exactly the same.
I'd have respect for a developer and/or publisher who would actually say that they're making the game easier to play in order to make it more accessible. Using the standard "corporate speak"--and then having to defend it, no less--should clue in these guys that their audience is hip to their bullshit.
Getting this on pc no second thoughts about that.
The Demo looked great with the Nvidia physx cloth simulation in the train scene.
I hope they make this for pc first. And not the casuals.
