The pair went into a deep discussion regarding performance and gameplay tweaks for one of the best-looking games we've ever seen, Metro: Last Light. "

PPl don give this developers respect ,,,, they r pushing the tech all the time but ppl r always talkin abt cry engine or bf3 engine .... that screen filled wth thousands of broken cars , the other one filled wth ppl .... gives us the idea of wht tessellation can bring

pangitkqb5055d ago

I'm very glad to hear Last Light will be better optimized than 2033. I have a beast of a gaming PC, and I still struggled to run 2033 on highest settings. Some better optimization will be much appreciated.

limewax5055d ago

Whats your setup if you don't mind me asking?

pangitkqb5055d ago (Edited 5055d ago )

@limewax

No prob.

i7-920
ATI Radeon 5770
9 Gigs DDR3

I do need to update the graphics card :\

BattleAxe5055d ago (Edited 5055d ago )

Hmm, Heres what I have,

- i7-920
- 6 GB DDR3
- GTX 260

I had no issues with this game at all, and I was able to have everything at the highest settings except I always keep AA low at x2. 2033 is definitely one of the best looking pC games out there, and one of the most atmospheric.

PS: Whenever I'm in the forums looking at possible problems with games I want to buy, I notice two things over and over, and its that people with ATI/AMD GPUs and people that are running Crossfire have more problems then people who run a single Nvidia GPU.

Voxelman5055d ago

Oh a single GTX 590 is that all, well at least the game looks godly with that much power. My 5770 is going to cry if it tries to run it.

BeastlyRig5055d ago (Edited 5055d ago )

:D

" However, 4A Games was able to run an alpha build of Last Light on a single GeForce GTX 590 smoothly in 1080p with all the bells and whistles enabled."

lol..

pc + huge hdtv + 1080p = awsome!

Letros5055d ago

lmao, I'm hoping the key component in there was "Alpha" and not "GTX 590".

InNomeDiDio5055d ago

GTX 590?

aaaah I only have a GTX 560 TI

megalonagyix5055d ago

Great news, pretty much confirms day one purchase for me then. Props for the developers!

RevXM5054d ago

I can barely run 2033, so Im afraid wont be getting this day one. sigh...
Hopefully there will be a demo on steam that I can try out and see how it runs.

Pandamobile5054d ago

More optimized means it'll run better.

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.

TheBrainZ499d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco33499d 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!

anast499d ago

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