Metro Redux releasing for Switch on February 28th (developed in-house by 4A Games, all content in 16 GB cart)
- Thread starter disgraciau
- Start date
I've never played any of these games but have always been really curious - this might be the time I jump in!
You can always pause the video. It Iooks pretty good but will probably be locked at 30fps unlike console Redux which are 60.
Can't wait to see how they pull this off. Almost a competition at this point to see who can do the most magical shit on the hardware. So far The Witcher takes the crown.
These games were on last gen consoles. It wont really be magic.
Played Exodus before these, this is gonna be my first time on Switch. So excited!
This February's gonna kill my wallet though, shit's brutal: Metro Exodus, Samurai Shodown, Darksiders Genesis, Dark Crystal Tactics, Devil May Cry 3, Snack World, Two Point Hospital, Railway Empire and Megaman Z Collection. Ugh.

Well this will be my next FPS on switch. Working my way through Youngblood's right now. Really not a fan of that. Never played these so I'm down.
We don't know if the graphics are based on the redux version though. Might be as well X360.Not the "redux" versions.
What's with the Oblivion bloom in the XO version.Not the "redux" versions.
Always wanted to play the Metro games but never owned a platform they were available on; definitely gonna pick this up someday.
I'd imagine they'll use the new current gen assets and lighting model, it's not uncommon for Switch remasters (Skyrim, DDDA, Minecraft, Darksiders, Alien Isolation, etc). Only major one I can think of that didn't was Dark Souls, which ended up being seen as a plus.
I'm in. Been dying to play these. And i'll Actually do so on Switch. AND THANK YOU FOR BOTH GAMES ON THE CART.
I don't see why it wouldn't be based off the newer version.
Hopefully this one will get a DF analysis.
Kind of annoying that the Switch is making me rebuy games that have been sitting in my Steam library untouched. I'm weak.

I'm on the fence now because at what point should we limit this? Like, THQN owns all of Koch Media which has their hand in so much of the EU market, and they keep buying more and more devs and publishers (Milestone Italy was another decent-sized pick-up).
They're the parent company, yes, but it's getting harder to justify the boycott when their association with these are just "they own them", rather than it being them themselves. It's eons better to avoid anything with their name on them (Darksiders for example) than games by one of their many subsidiaries. Plus who knows, they may get a far smaller percentage of money.
Again I'm on the fence. This looks like a terrific effort (on the surface) and I think deserves reward. THQN's fuckery wasn't Koch/Deep Silver's fault and there's nothing they can do about it. They can't just buy themselves out and return to being self-owned I'd assume. Well it'd be awesome, but not realistic at all.
GameStop exclusive in the US, yes. It's the only retailer shown on the official website. I despise ordering from GS, so I'm not sure what I"m going to do. I feel like every third party Switch announcement is a monkey's paw situation.
EU folks can buy it anywhere.
Interesting to think about considering Metro LL was famously cancelled on Wii U. I think the developers even blasted the hardware too.
I never got around to playing LL (and now that I think about it, even beating the first game) so may pick up depending on performance.

seems they said that the Wii U CPU was slow and horrible, the Switch CPU is bounds better than that.
gonna buy this day one. Only played the first Metro on PC and never bothered buying the sequel :D
Well, I still don't want them to have my money, even if it is the smallest amount. They're the companies want to make money, so they need to get rid of people/partners who embraces 8*ch type of places. My responsibility is not to forget.
Ditto. I'm just concerned at it being a futile effort at this point. THQN don't give a fuck clearly. IMO they have an easy solution if they can't legally fire the offending employees (one is on the board of directors also), and that's to just donate a big chunk of money to charities that directly counter that site's beliefs. Support charities helping child abuse victims, victims of the holocaust and such tragedies from the past (and present), support LGBT groups, etc.
That'd send a powerful message and would put their money where their mouth is. They got money to burn with all of these acquisitions, try using it for legit good after that garbage. That'd help tremendously. But them doing nothing is deafening and tells everyone that they want to pretend it didn't happen and hope folks don't care also.
Now it'd be different if I had a crystal ball seeing if they did learn their lesson and would never do a thing like that again.
Only I don't.
That's why they need to SHOW that they've learned their lesson.
However once we get to their subsidiaries that seemingly are pseudo independent (as in THQN don't exactly slap their branding or direct involvement in their games), then their involvement is deluded.
I guess it's what YOU decide to do that's important. Sadly this boycott never amounted to anything and likely never will. That's the worst thing. :/ The week after the incident, folks stopped talking about it. And sadly more companies seemingly are fine with working with them or even allowing themselves to be bought by them which raises... questions.
