Metro Redux’s Comparison Video Cleary Shows The Developer’s Love

This is one of those prime examples where letting someone, or indeed a video have their / its own say is the best option, but I’ll blather on just for a little while and leave you to watch the video for yourself.

This clearly is an age where high definition remakes and re-releases of older and even not that old, albeit good games spring forth from around every corner you may lay your eyes upon and you know what? This video displays the exact way in which a developer has to approach a remake(s) – I’ve played and thoroughly enjoyed both of the Metro games – Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light and even after watching this video, I want this Redux edition so badly.

Besides the great visual and technical improvements, the gameplay, weapon handling and AI from Last Light, which was much more smooth and the overall game benefited greatly from it, is now implemented into 2033. Last Light’s DLC is also added to this bundle alongside new areas merged with the already known campaign levels – still keeping players already familiar with these games a little bit in the dark.

This is how you tackle a re-release, developers.

Metro Redux is set to release in August 26 in the US and August 29 in Europe. These titles will be available separately as downloads.
