Metro Exodus - Hype Check (Up: see staff post)

[Silky]

It'll be my first Epic Launcher purchase much to my distaste, but it is what it is.

If the game is bad then Tim Sweeney check ya messages

 

[JudgmentJay]

Yeah I'm excited. I pre-ordered it on Steam as soon as the exclusivity deal was announced. The first two games are pretty great.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yes I am, but that's only because I grabbed it from Steam before it was pulled.

 

[Ge0force]

Maybe someone here can make the decision for me and help me choose.
I will get the game 100% but I don't know if I should go PC or PS4 Pro ?
I have a GTX 970 and an I5 - 4590. As long as I get 60fps/1080p at... medium maaaayyyybe some high settings, i think I'm good.

Unless you want to reward Deep Silver and Epic for their exclusivity deal, I'd say buy the ps4 version.

 

[SirNinja]

I was fairly hyped for it, but I've learned to let patience prevail. Not buying it on Epic. Publishers need to realize that a bigger cut is meaningless if you're moving far fewer copies overall. Plus, by the time it hits Steam, it'll be fully patched and possibly cheaper. Win-win.

 

[KrAzEd]

Played both remastered versions when they were released on Xbox. Really enjoyed them both, but exodus looks like a true AAA experience...CANT WAIT

 

[Officer Beefsteak]

Gonna be the best game this month but I only have enough money for one and I'm grabbing Anthem to play with friends, can't wait to pick it up later though.

 

[Karak]

Getting closer and closer to a AAA Stalker game with each release. Good Times

Was impression from the trailers too, BUT

are you already playing? ;)

 

[Sansaido]

Haven't played Metro thus far, but I'm hyped for exodus thanks to its gorgeous trailers. Already got 1 & 2 via Game Pass and got the first novel. I'm fascinated by the Metro universe.

 

[BarryFishFinger]

Looking forward to it. I really hope it's as bleak as the other games, they're relentlessly miserable and I love them.

Just finishing up Last Light for the nth time, did 2033 again a while back. They're great games, I'm intrigued to see how the semi open world feels.

 

[InRainbows]

I wish this was released a month later. Apex legends has me hooked. Crackdown is on gamepass. My backlog is overflowing.

I Need to finish both metro games before I get into this.

 

[NXGamer]

I think the hype is going to increase once it gets seen, so much to see.

Ohh, a little tease, share more!

by the way, is there any info on how ps4 pro version will run?

 

[Jiminy]

Where's the staff post?

The first few hours of the game on PS4 Pro:

Spoiler

I've only flicked through the video but the game seems to be polished.

 

[Paul]

I hope digital foundry will do detailed raytracing analysis before release, I want to know if 2080Ti would be worth it.

 

[VX1]

The first few hours of the game on PS4 Pro.

Spoiler

Wow,looks good! I wonder how base PS4 will run this thing...

 

[Isee]

Russian Metro Exodus PS4Pro Gameplay (in rather bad video quality). Seem to be the first three hours of the game, so be warned.

[Falconbox]

Can't wait. Don't care where I play it.

 

[Chance Hale]

Where's the staff post?

To the right of the listing of page numbers, took me a while to understand what they meant.

Mostly excited for the rtx support, adore the first two games but none of the footage I’ve seen seems to imply it has the world reactiveness of stalker and few open world games have detail like TW3 but we’ll see in a few days. Got it on steam before it was removed.

 

[PixelatedDonut]

Really hyped for the game and I even might buy an rtx card for it.....I will get it on steam whenever that releases.

 

[Ruprit]

I was extremely excited for it and still am. But I wasn't going to buy it at launch because I'm planning on upgrading my PC and guaranteeing 1440p/60. With the exclusivity deal, I'll be waiting as I'm not a fan of Epic's methods.

 

[kinjx11]

let's hope this game doesn't beat 1 cpu core to death like the old games did

Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for the tip. I reckon the Staff Post button needs a minor redesign of reposition so it stands out a bit.

 

[Gbraga]

Still didn't play the previous ones, heard great things about the series though, and already own both anyway. I'll try to play at least 2033 this year. Which version is better on PC? Are the remasters good? I own both.

 

[CenturionNami]

Does anyone know when the review embargo ends?

 

[Gerwant]

Random question: can we control the train manually?

 

[nightstalker962]

Does anyone know when the review embargo ends?

Wednesday at 10 AM EST/7 AM PT.

Redux is the way to go.

 

[speedomodel]

Cannot wait

They recommend DX12 for the game and the CPUs they point to are also pretty beefy from a thread perspective. I just hope they don't forget about Ryzen...

looks fucking awesome, now i am even more hyped. i had a feeling this game will be special and it seems like this is a tremendous step forward for the franchise and fans of the former games.

 

[Gbraga]

Redux is the way to go.

Thank you!

 

[mangopositive]

Review embargo is up on my birthday. If it's great, I get a shitty launcher as a present. That I have to pay for.

 

[Classicrock78]

Hows the older metro games on xbox compared to ps4?i only ask cause the version of metro im getting comes with the 2 older versions free.

 

[FreezePeach]

Was more excited prior to their Epic fiasco. So i bought it full price on steam before they took it down, meaning im refunding this if reviews arent glowing. I would have picked it up cheaper on another site otherwise. Im definitely more skeptical than excited right now.

 

[JaseC]

Random question: can we control the train manually?

I tried to find an answer but couldn't, so probably not.

It's 912p/60fps as opposed to 1080p/60fps on ps4

 

[Classicrock78]

It's 912p/60fps as opposed to 1080p/60fps on ps4

Oh ok thanks.

 

[panecasio]

It comes out on my birthday and I am taking the day off to play it, so yes. Grabbing it on XB1X since my PC is a bit dusty (haven't upgraded anything in about 5 years, still on a 980) and I'm going through the previous Metros on XB1X since they were added to Game Pass.

 

[Axecidentally]

No info about Resolution for ps4 pro right? I know XBX will be 4k native.

 

[Bedameister]

It's 912p/60fps as opposed to 1080p/60fps on ps4

Hm so no X/Pro enhancements on those. Shame

 

[disgraciau]

Just read this on Steam game forums. Looks like we are not even getting pre-load.

Ah well, I was going to download it on launch anyway. For my optic fiber it doesn't worth the time Steam takes to decrypt pre-load files.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

This game was one of my main reasons for getting a Xbox One X, but I think I have too many games to play right now (especially so close to RE2). I'll probably get it during the summer, or maybe I'll take advantage of that Target buy 2, get 1 one free.

 

[Keasar]

As much as I am a bit miffed about the Epic Store exclusivity, since I wanted all my Metro games in one convenient spot, I am still looking forward to the game. I love the Metro games.

 

[VX1]

For those interested: somebody is streaming live play now:

[Bansai]

Oh ok thanks.

Those are still some great looking games, so go ahead and give them a try.
