Now thats a remastered game(looking at you TLoU). The difference is very huge.

christrules00413934d ago

The Last of Us remastered was only on the PS3. People who had a Xbox 360/PC couldn't experience it. That is a lot of gamers who didn't get to play it. Metro 2033 wasn't on a Playstation platform for people to play. Both games has a target market.

sho0ok3932d ago

It is true, therefore TLOU should have been called ported.

AndrewLB3933d ago

if you read the article, it seems certain aspects of the Redux versions have been dumbed down.

Removed or reduced:

- Smoke cloud illumination
- Volumetric effect lighting
- Global reflections
- Tessellation reduced
- particle effects reduced

The Redux version is much brighter. The near-pitch-black segments of the game were so important and kept you all tensed up.

And truth be told, even with the higher res textures and other improvements, the Console version is missing out on the most important part. nVidia PhysX!! Metro LL was one of the few games were it made a MASSIVE improvement.

Tlou was already very good on PS3 dude. Not a lot of room for improvement there , unlike Metro.

Bennibop3934d ago

Plus Metro is a far simpler remaster that TLOU as a superior version was released on a PC so half the work was already 4a to use. Where as Naughty dog took months for the PS3 code to be recognised by the PS4 development kits.

How did i guess that all the comments in this thread would be relating to TLoU instead of the differences between the old Metro games and the Redux versions.

C'mon guys...

Worked for me. Thank you!

anast1d 4h ago

The series of games goes on sale for $10 or less.

Notellin1d 3h ago

That's significantly more expensive than free.

starsi36017h ago

Thanks for this info, I almost went ahead and got it for free but now I'll wait for it to go on sale at $10 or less.

goken1d 3h ago

I bought it for $5, of course free is definitely better.
It’s a good game, definitely worth getting free or not

Phoenix7621h ago

Just added it to my library. Thanks for the heads up

Reaper22_12h ago

Free is always good. So many good games to play on xbox. It's hard to keep up.

ZeekQuattro10h ago

Not according to Anast. Apparently the game routinely being on sale is a better deal than it being free.

Reaper22_6h ago

That's only because it's xbox. With him almost anything xbox is bad.👹

I claimed it yesterday from Steam but I find it odd that I still cannot claim it through my XB. It's supposed to be free to keep there as well.

Profchaos40d ago

I couldn't get it on Xbox either

anast41d ago

It's a 2014 game so it should work well on this device, I would grab asap if I had a Steam Deck.

Scissorman41d ago

It says its 2.99 not free and I'm on the Steam Deck...what am I missing?

DaReapa41d ago

"Metro 2033 Redux is currently available to claim for free on Steam Deck and PC. But, to get the game for free, you must claim it before 8AM PT/11AM ET/4PM BST on April 16th."

Miacosa41d ago

Don't need a Steam Deck to get this deal.

Profchaos40d ago

Do we really need the clickbait title just say metro 2033 Redux is free

shadowhaxor40d ago

Exactly. This crap is what gives gaming journalism a bad name.

Snookies1240d ago

Look at what site it comes from. That's why.

A lot of my favourites are on this list so I whole heartedly approve.
Everything except The Observer. It started out really interesting but quickly unraveled into a train wreck. Including frustratingly dull dives into mind sequences, They neutered the monster with boring on rail stealth sequences and a laughably obvious and cringeworthy ending. Mix in bugs and some wonky controls to boot.
I had really strong impressions with it to start but ended up absolutely hating it.

isarai933d ago

I got 2-3hrs in and couldn't take it anymore, the constant need to switch between the 3 visions just became so annoying and honestly just unnecessary.

monkey602932d ago

I actually agree. At first I thought it was a great idea because the game wasn't holding your hand with the Detective work but it was so unintuitive too. It became a sequence of staring at everything for long enough in 3 different vision modes just to see what stuck.

Yui_Suzumiya932d ago

Soma would be more existential horror than anything but I'll be damned if it didn't have one of the best stories in game that I've experienced. Blew my mind.
