Out of the many games shown at E3 this year, I must say that this game had me the most excited. I had briefly touched Last Light, but after seeing Exodus in action, it made me want to experience the first two games in full. I picked up Metro Redux within a couple of days and I'm truly enjoying these games.

sonarus2522d ago

Yea metro redux one of the better shooters i have played. Certainly looking forward to this

Yui_Suzumiya2522d ago

Last Light is truly magnificent! You're going to love it!

lxeasy2522d ago

This game has a great showing at the Xbox press conference

FloydianAndroid2522d ago

I played the first metro game and I loved some things about it, but something about the pacing was very tedious to me. I love the lore and the premise of the first two games and the books, but I just couldn't finish either game because of the pacing. I may have to go back and try again though because exodus looks incredible.

robtion2522d ago

I agree and had the same experience. I tried metro on the 360 originally but couldn't stick with it. Tried both games in Redux on PS4 and again just didn't get into them. Love the setting and look but something isn't grabbing me. May redownload and give them 1 final shot.

Yui_Suzumiya2522d ago

The second is much better than the first to me. Played it multiple times on PS3 and PS4.

annoyedgamer2522d ago

Thats strange, the first game (played on PC) gripped me from start to finish.

robtion2522d ago

I remember being frustrated with some stealth sections. I like stealth and wanted to play stealthy but kept getting spotted even though the watch said I was hidden. It was frustrating that I couldn't play how I wanted to so I gave up and moved on to something else.

As I said though, I think I'll re-download them and give them another shot...silenced of course :)

Unknown2522d ago

The pacing here is what sets things apart from the rest of the games. It certainly helps set the tone and atmosphere of the game. In kovie terms its not a blockbuster summer movie but more along the lines of an oscar type movie.

babadivad2521d ago

The first Metro was fun but the gameplay wasn't very tight. It felt sluggish. It seemed like things were happening a split second slower than when you imput the commands. I though it was just my rig. I spent forever tweeking my settings to tighten it up. I found out that that's just the way the game is. It was fun, just unpolished. I heard Last Night was better, but I never gave it a chance.

I might go back and play it now before this game comes out.

I need this on my Xbox One X: Maverick Hunter

Bigpappy2522d ago

The X to the rescue. These 3rd party game are creating
very strong X1X appeal. When you see other games they start to look dated.

Man, I wish that this was releasing this year.

gbsrnctaln2522d ago

Am VERY glad I picked up the remastered editions on ps4, for $30 total to boot! Loved both games. Eagerly awating the next installment.

Condemnedman2522d ago

the remastered versions are great

badz1492522d ago (Edited 2522d ago )

Wanted to get it for PS4 too but still too expensive for me. Finally got them off the recent Steam Summer sales. Gotta try them soon when I got the time. The reveal for exodus was kinda awesome

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff21832d ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan1d 11h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin1d 9h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_1d 8h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan1d 5h ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff21831d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

SimpleDad17h ago

Ammm let's see... That All-stars, Foamstars, Babilon 5 wass gaas...
Concord... can wait to play that...Marathon uuuu... Last of them gaas... U
Horizon Zero dawn has a project that leaked as a Fortnite lookalike.

They bought Destiny that is a dead gaas...people love ti.

Helldivers 2 was luck.

Jimbo was all in and pushed Sony single player games 5 years behind.

Spiderman gaas was cancelled... I mean every 1st party studio was doing gaas.

Bend had to pitch a gaas game... Open world coop something

I can't remember more... Of that crap.

tay870116h ago

@simpledad. Destiny 2 isn't a dead game. Its the number 5 most played game on steam. I dont play it, but alot of people do.

MrNinosan11h ago

@SimpleDad
You failed to mention a single PS Studios game that has been released last 10 years.
Either your reading skills are crap or you think Sony own every studio in the world.

I rolled my eyes at concord not only was it just yet another cookie cutter hero shooter but that qucik look for the hero select.

Already has a free section then paid section along with a they/them she/her dei crap top right.

Nothing like a day off of work to fire up concord to read about the new characters sexual identity and or preference then a paywall do you want o buy this character shit like no i just want to shoot my gun have fun.

-Foxtrot2d ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink1d 17h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff21831d 3h ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla1d 10h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5231d 10h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin1d 9h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-641d 7h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga1d 6h ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

tay870120h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Dude is pretty pathetic. Sounds like a guy who's girl left him for someone better. Always talking about days gone sequel that never was, even though he is no longer at bend and hasnt been for a while. I for one am not upset about the lack of a sequel. It is one of the worst 1st party games in recent memory. Completely jank, played like an xbox game. The only redeeming quality was the hordes.

excaliburps1d 11h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla1d 10h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek1d 4h ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff21831d 3h ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing691d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip1d 7h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

-Foxtrot1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
