FPS fans rejoice! 4A Games and Deep Silver are bringing the award-winning Metro series to next gen consoles and PC. That’s right, you get both the original Metro 2033 and the rather spiffing Metro: Last Light, both looking better than ever; but don’t take my word for it, get your eyeballs around this exciting video for Metro Redux:
If the new prettier game wasn’t enough, each game comes jam-packed with extra stuff! Details are right here in the official PR blurb:
– The original game has been rebuilt in the latest and greatest iteration of the 4A Engine, bringing all the graphical and gameplay improvements from Metro:
Last Light to Metro 2033 Redux
– Experience radically improved gameplay: advanced enemy AI, improved combat and stealth mechanics, superior weapon handling and more responsive,
intuitive controls plus signature features from Last Light such as the atmospheric mask wipe mechanic, weapon customization, and silent kills and takedowns
– Enjoy completely re-mastered visuals: advanced lighting, dynamic weather, more detailed characters with improved animation, more dynamic destruction and improved smoke, fire and particle effects Metro: Last Light Redux has also received a graphical facelift and gameplay improvements that carry across both titles, including new melee animations, and the fan-requested Check Watch and Check Inventory features. It also includes all previously released Season Pass add-on content a further 10 hours of single-player gameplay.
“Now PictoPirate,” I hear you say. “The games played quite differently, am I getting a more actiony 2033 or a more survival horror Last Light?” A good question. The good news is that you’re getting both, of course! If you liked the survive-em-up style of Metro 2033, have a play in Survival Play Style, “a fraught slow-burn fight for survival with limited resources, deadlier enemy AI, and slower reload speeds.”
More of a fan of Resident Evil 6 than the original? Unleash the Spartan Play Style, and provide Artyom with a powerful set of combat skills and more plentiful resources.
Sucker for punishment? The legendary Ranger Mode has your back, providing the most immerse and challenging experience as the HUD is stripped away and hardcore rules apply.
You can grab each game separately as a digital download later this summer for the princely sum of $24.99 or pickup the boxed compilation for $49.99.
Dedicated Linux and SteamOS versions will also release later this year, Hooray!
If you’ve played the Metro games before will this tempt you back for another look?
