But there are several moments where a really good wide shot sold the danger much better than the first person view. Most of the time it’s a great change, some cutscenes stopped being cutscenes even and let you control the character.
And was a bit jarring for a game where most of the time you were in first person. Most of them looked pretty shit, by the way, reminiscent of the fly-around cutscenes from late 90s games. Original game had several moments where you were shown a third person view cutscene. You barely notice it since it feels natural, but when you make a screenshot you might accidentally get a blurred version -_-.Īnother big change is the switch of the point of view in the cutscenes. Though, you might also notice that some of the scenes look a bit blurry – that’s because the motion blur was improved in the game and is now, pretty much, everywhere. The wind, the cold grass, all the little critters on the ground, the snow particles – it all looks so amazing. The original was achieving the mood of an extreme snow storm on the post-apocalyptic Moscow surface mostly via the sound work. The Redux version looks more bland and muddy as a static image, yet when you play the game Redux feels so much better. The very first screenshot shows what I meant. Oh and I’ve played the Spartan mode, to see how it feels, so the digital watch can be seen on the screenshots as well, but if you play Survival, you’ll get the old analogue watch instead. I’ll try to show the same locations in my screenshots where the upper row is the Redux version of the location and the lower is from the original. Besides, it’s not just lighting that was updated, the weather simulation is taken from Last Light, some surfaces like spiderwebs (which burn from your lighter) have been added. Redux is occasionally less contrast heavy, less stark, which can look worse on a screenshot, but when you move around the world, these changes feel more natural, much more pleasant to look at. Original had a very stark, very Doom 3 look to its lighting. And sometimes in screenshots they might look worse, but believe me – in action the game looks absolutely stunning. however, looks at times completely differently. Last Light had some light tweaks with lighting and contrast in Redux, 2033.
METRO 2033 REDUX RIGA KEY SERIES
Let’s start with the GRAPHIX, since even Metro series always looked great. And the metro itself felt alive a character of its own. It was a journey and an adventure across different underground stations that felt different, had people who felt real, who felt alive. It was a varied experience with many different sections of the game going for different mechanics and atmosphere. It was the second best game by a Ukrainian developer after Cryostasis. Yet, there are a couple of changes that are questionable at best and outright dumb at worst.
Most of these changes were welcome and make the game far more fun to play. Metro 2033, on the other hand, looks very different now, several levels were combined, some scenes and sections were redone, at times completely, the weapons were redesigned to be closer to how they work in the second game (so you modify weapons now instead of exchanging different weapons with different modifications), controls were updated as well. I’ve already told what I think of the Metro: Last Light Redux, which was less affected by this remaster. Both games got updated voice acting, with the same voice actor for Artyom in all main languages and new localisations including the Ukrainian. Both games were moved to an updated engine with updated lighting, both games have new distinct modes of playing them – Survival (closer to 2033) or Spartan (closer to Last Light). 4A has recently released Metro Redux – a pack of two remastered games, Metro 2033 from 2010 and Metro: Last Light from last year.
