Gyro controls? I'll bite if there's gyro aiming. Otherwise I own these games free on about 3 other platforms now and gotten around to playing them š
BTW, both games on their own are up for pre-purchase on the NA eShop and have some screens. I can't grab them but someone can maybe. :P
are you sure? it's listed as 59.99 on the eshop
Might be the retail price. On the eShop they're like $33 CDN each, but this is showing at $75.

I think I'm sold.
It was hard trying to get into the Metro games for PC. Perhaps like The Witcher 3, second time's a charm...on Switch.
If it were cheaper I'd be down but I just can't justify that price for mega late ports that are cheap as fuck on other consoles. If I had no other console I'd probably bite but man switch tax is ruthless lol.
That's not a switch tax. If a Switch exclusive game were to be released for the PS4 years later, even if the game was discounted to $10 on the eshop, it is not going to priced that way on the PS4. The porting job costs a lot of money. Even as something as "simple" as adding gyro controls requires a lot of time, money, and testing to get it right. You can't expect a company to give away the game at a bargain price just because the game is already on another console.
Also, even at $10 people will find a way to complain and not buy the product. So usual practice is to price at a near-regular MSRP, some people will buy it at that price, and then when the price goes down, some other people will buy it.
The switch tax comment is a joke. Buuuuut as someone with all consoles who has seen Sony remaster and resell old titles for newer generations for years now it's not a joke entirely without merit. Switch ports have costs extra in comparison to other platforms quite often (usually because switch ports come late).
And of course there will be people who will complain no matter what the price is but come on. $60 vs. what? Less than $10 on storefronts? I understand they have to make their money back but I feel like pricing so high is just going to hurt them in the long run as it will turn a LOT of people off. Other companies did this in the past with games and then turned around and blamed low interest when in reality it was other mitigating factors.
Same here. I'm taking a vacation starting February 3, and the game is out just after I'm back to work... Sigh...
According to wccftech (so take with a grain of salt), the game runs at 720/30 and 1080/30
Sure, but Metro Redux on PS4/XB1 was $50 at launch (https://camelcamelcamel.com/Metro-Redux-PlayStation-4/product/B00KF7BEFS?context=search). Obviously having to pay for the cart instead of a BR makes a difference but $50/60 is a tough pill to swallow six years later, even with the extra stuff you get going physical.

Buy it at Walmart if you can. They sell all Switch games for $50 at launch. Might be hard to track it down though. They don't seem to stock a lot of these types of games consistently.
Also, not sure what's going on but it's $50 at Gamestop.
GameStop is the only one selling it physically.
I'm not paying $50 for it given how stacked this spring is. The games are OK. My point is this should have been a $40 title at most.
I would have bitten if there had been a 60fps performance mode, like we're seeing on some other last gen ports. Oh well...
Props to the devs for an in-house port that includes everything on a cart plus they added gyro. Will definitely be grabbing this.
Only game with such a mode, that I recall, is Darksiders. Which other one are you referring to?
Regardless, the Metro games are very technically accomplished games, I don't think Switch could handle a 60 fps mode. Heck, I don't think even PS4 got a 60 fps mode.
Grid AutoSport, Red Faction (though that one is more like an unlocked framerate; even the ps4pro version is 40-ish fps in performance mode) are those that come to mind. There may be other.
I thought Metro ran at 60fps on PS4. If it doesn't, then it's my mistake.
Grid probably only has that mode because of iOS. 60fps definitely isn't anywhere near the norm. They dropped performance mode in Darksiders 2.
Metro is definitely 60fps on PS4.
Wish I could try red faction to see how much closer you can get to 60fps with an overclock. RE5 and 6 look almost locked with the overclock undocked.
I wonder if the second dlc for exodus will be out around the same time,hopefully....they said early in the new year.
the devs (or rather their twitter account) confirmed 720p/30fps undocked and 1080p/30 FPS docked and it's based on the current version of the game. That is very good :)
Oh yeah, forgot about Grid!
"Performance mode" in that game barely hits 40 fps, let alone 60, lol. It stays in the mid 30s most of the time while quality mode hangs in the 20s.
I was gonna order it today and I saw that its was $42 on amazon if anyone cares. https://www.amazon.com/Metro-Redux-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B0846FLHLS/
For anyone living in Germany, the physical game is available for 34,95 Euros in Media Markt locally. If you order online they will add 5 Euro for the delivery costs. Got my copy yesterday here in Dusseldorf (Media Markt at Bilker Arcaden) and played an hour in the evening. So far I am impressed. Technically it looks brilliant and I am loving the gameplay so far. Its just sad that there is no brightness adjustment setting available because it is kind of dark at all times.
