Metro Exodus Enhanced - out of the metro tunnels and back on Steam

It has spiders.

Sam's Story DLC for Metro Exodus is quite fun. Very STALKER-like, although nowhere near its scale and freedom.

Aside from the rather infamous amount of texture pop-in (which is really weird since the main game is virtually bereft of this kind of graphical bug), Sam's Story adds a great deal to the value of Exodus, IMO.

Highly recommended.

Steam gave Metro 2033 away for free.

What did I just blindly put into my library. Is it good, does it suck?

If you enjoy linear shooters with good atmosphere and set pieces, it's pretty damn good imo.

Good to hear. I haven't played either DLC yet, but I just grabbed the Gold Edition off Steam since it was 70% off.

My second question now is the 2033 they gave away looks like the vanilla/no frills version from back in 2010 or whatever, I see there are some enhanced edition style things for 2033. Is the enhanced edition vital for any reason or can I find enjoyment from the original, baseline version released a decade ago?

They're pretty much the same game. The Redux version uses an updated engine and is better optimized, but it doesn't look any better.

Redux has a bunch of Last Light gameplay additions, such as simplified stealth (in original 2033 stealth had a lot of variables, but at the same time was janky and frustrating), streamlined control scheme and some QoL tweaks. For example, in 2033 knife was equippable as a standalone weapon (you press 1 on a keyboard and your character draws a knife), in Redux knife is used like in call of duty (you press a melee button and character performs a quick stab). Same with throwable explosives.

Now on to the topic of these spiders...

How BIG we talking here? Are we talking some real beefcakes or just little skittering fuckers?

 

[Alienman]

Pretty big from what I can remember. They also get stuck on your visor from time to time.

 

[lycanwarrior]

Yep, very fun game. However, a bear to run in 4k, especially since it is only using DLSS 1.0 from my understanding.

kkk consensus required:

this thing is on sale at gog for 26 coin with all DLC

worth it?

 

[ferratilis]

It's like Stalker, but without all the things that make Stalker good, and with better graphics. And a consolized UI. And retarded AI. It's basically a modern gamer's dream. Tbh I'd just wait until it's around 10 bucks. Just because I paid 25 for it doesn't mean you have to as well.

 

[JDR13]

It's easily worth that price, although I'd rather own it on Steam, but that's just personal preference.

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

hmmm hmmm hmmm

Exactly what STALKER 2 will be!

THE METRO EXODUS PC ENHANCED EDITION ARRIVES MAY 6th

We are pleased to announce that the Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition – a radical update that harnesses the power of Ray Tracing-capable GPUs to deliver an incredible visual upgrade – will launch on May 6 2021. The PC Enhanced Edition is FREE to all owners of the original release on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Good Old Games and the Microsoft Store.

It offers additional Ray Tracing features including Advanced Ray Traced Reflections and support for the much requested DLSS 2.0 on NVIDIA hardware, which offers sharper image details and increased framerates and display resolutions. Further collaborating with NVIDIA, this update improves our existing Ray Traced Global Illumination tech innovated with the original release of Metro Exodus to make every light source fully Ray Traced, and implements our Ray Traced Emissive Lighting tech from The Two Colonels throughout the game.

This upgrade is so extensive, it will require a Ray Tracing capable GPU as the minimum spec, and will be delivered as a separate product – it is not a simple ‘patch’ to the base game – instead it will be offered as an extra entitlement to all existing Metro Exodus PC players.

This edition of Metro Exodus can only run on Ray Tracing capable hardware; check out our Recommended PC Specifications chart to see what kind of performance you can expect.

PC SPECS - ENHANCED

An entirely separate listing for DLSS 2.0 and ray tracing support? That's strange to say the least.

 

[JDR13]

I wouldn't mind seeing them do that with Metro 2033 and Last Light as well. I'm guessing it would be more work than it's worth though for those games.

 

[Outlander]

This thing is in the new Humble Bundle Monthly Choice.

1080p 45fps on an RTX 2060.

That's an $800AUD card right about now, LMAO!

 

[Rahdulan]

This thing is in the new Humble Bundle Monthly Choice.

Are they going to pull the ULTIMATE SWITCHEROO and put the non-EE version in Humble Choice, though?

The EE version is a free update.

It could be that a lot of graphics assets have been tweaked, so that they no longer work with the old version. So it's either doing a separate version of the game or releasing a patch that would double the size of the existing game installation.
