Metro Redux - Uncovered Trailer

They are going to be good. I can't wait to get sucked into that world again.
 
so it's the same games I've already bought remastered? I'm not paying again, I was an early supporter of both games
 
This bad boy is at the top of my list of games that I'm going to snag up once I get my rig built in October...can't wait, looks fantastic!
 
Hmm, the 2033 but redone in the Last light engine, with more enhancements, extra single player levels better AI and last light with some new tweaks. Count me in. Both games were great and this will make them much better.

The reason they remastered was a byproduct of doing a version for the newgen consoles. PC is just reaping the benefit of that effort.

As to why they're charging existing owners, I suppose they're trying to recoup development costs, but I understand how some people are going to feel entitled to the upgrade being free.

Its 50% off for existing 2033 and LL owners on Steam -- I was happy to pay it and support them.
 
^ addendum to previous post, its $12.49 to upgrade an existing 2033 or LL to Redux. Which is trivial if you watched the video in OP and see how much work went into it.
 
What I am wondering is, given you already own the Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light vanilla, if purchasing the Redux versions upgrades the existing games or if it counts as a new separate title.

I would not pay full price but free would indeed be greedy; the present discount for early supporters seems fair to me.

What?! $12.95. What do they think we are made out of gold? BRB going to go see a short 1 hour 30 minute movie at the theater for $12.00. /sarcasm

I have to jokingly laugh at the people complaining about the price slightly considering its $12 dollars and change...I agree that the minor cost seems more than fair. Especially when you consider you probably get less content updates in an average month from say World of Warcraft and spend $15/month to subscribe to such an mmorpg. I'd have killed as a kid to have been able to pay $12 and get a graphically superior, technologically improved version of Starcraft 1.
 
Loved 2033, have not gotten to Last Light yet.....will definitely be getting this at my 50% discount on Steam. I have ZERO problems supporting a quality development studio.
 
Everyone should read this... (The below is not the full post)

When we announced Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux earlier this year, we confirmed that PC gamers who owned the original title would benefit from a 50% discount against the corresponding ‘Redux’ version.

We thought this was a great offer – but while there are many who are clearly very happy with the deal, it's been made clear on the Steam discussions here that there are others who think we have not done enough for owners of the existing games.

Some think we should have released these as ‘free’ updates, or offered a bigger discount (particularly on Metro: Last Light Redux).

This response blindsided us a little. We have taken our time to review the concerns and arguments and offer a proper response.

So here it is:

Almost the entire team of around 80 people at 4A Games will have been working on the Metro Redux titles for almost a year by the time we release next month. It has been a substantial project for the studio, with three main elements:

  • Significantly updating the 4A Engine, adding (amongst many other features) Global Illumination and terrain tessellation, as well numerous performance enhancements
  • Upgrading Metro: Last Light to run in this engine, while adding some minor features such as Check Watch and Check Inventory, and some significant ones such as the new 'Survival' play style
  • Completely re-building Metro 2033 to run in the new 4A engine, with the new and improved Last Light gameplay framework; and adding new content and assets
For sure, Metro 2033 Redux is a far more significant upgrade over the original than Metro: Last Light Redux (and we're not trying to pretend otherwise).

We think the 50% discount is more than fair for the amount of work that has gone into this title. It is a complete remake of the original game in the latest engine, that will offer a significantly different experience from the original throughout with improved graphics, performance and gameplay.

I only got about 3 hours into 2033...I think I'll just wait and try the redux version.
 
I have LL but haven't played it yet. I guess I'll wait for the new versions. If they release for Linux they've got my money, discount or full price.
 
Oh man, I can't wait to go back to Metro. Those were the best single player games I've played on my PC in years. The only way the Redux could be better is if it supported Oculus Rift DK2. :p
