Wow read this article

\ http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

"When 4A needed another dev kit, or high-end PC, or whatever, someone from 4A had to fly to the States and sneak it back to the Ukraine in a backpack lest it be "seized" at the border by thieving customs officials."

"There were no outlets in the Ukraine, and our only option was to pack a truck in Poland and try to find an "expediter" to help bribe its way down to Kiev."

"I truly enjoyed Far Cry 3, which deserved its great reviews. But how many times did Ubisoft Montreal lose power for hours or days during development?"

"All developers have deadlines, but I know of few that had to bring in construction generators to be able to work the weekend before final submission because an extra day meant missing shelf dates by weeks."

"Then 4A works in their parkas and struggles to keep their fingers warm in temperatures well below freezing."

"The only thing for which 4A is getting more credit than I think they deserve is the creativity behind the ever frightening, dark, post apocalyptic environment of the game. I've been in Kiev to visit the team, so I know they just stepped outside for reference."

"If 4A had been given a more competitive budget, in a saner environment, hadn't wasted a year-plus chasing the irrational requirement of THQ's original producers to fit multiplayer and co-op into the same deadline and budget(!), hadn't had to deal with the transition to a new publisher in the crucial few months before final, what could 4A have created?"

HOLY MOTHER OF F*%&$(G GOD!

didn't know there was issues lol crank all to max setings turn on all bells and whisles and play.....only issue I had was it makes my light up kb flicker and only ingame odd, other then that seems smooth and fun

MadLad4417d ago

Yeah.
Didn't have any issues either. I run Nvidia though.
The FOV doesn't even bother me. Glad the option to increase it is there now though and I will probably fiddle with it soon. Planning another playthrough maybe sometime next week. Fantastic game.

SITH4416d ago

Agreed. I am on play through two right now.

matrixman924416d ago

Hey guys how hot does your cards get when running this game at max with SSAA at 2X? SSAA seems to kill my performance.

62C without SSAA at like 85fps

SITH4416d ago (Edited 4416d ago )

All settings at max configured with GeForce Experience

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

TheBrainZ497d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco33497d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast497d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.
