They already stated that the Redux will be new entry and won't replace the original version. So we can still play the old version wven if we owned Redux.

Metro 2033 and Last Light developer 4A Games is looking to add more sandbox in their next game. Their designers want a "less linear but still hugely story-driven" title.

Chief technical officer Oles Shishkovstov from 4A Games wouldn't go into much detail but did reveal they're toying with new approaches to visuals as well, leaning more on physics.

Apparently their artists are still in the tinkering stage and haven't made concrete any plans yet on how to approach the graphics for their new project.

"For the game we are working on now, our designers have shifted to a more sand-box-style experience - less linear but still hugely story-driven. I will not go into details, but it requires some work from programmers as well. Also, we are improving graphics in very different aspects, like recently we did a physically-based global ambient occlusion (instead of local, like SSAO). I will not talk about PBR (physically-based rendering) here, because here we are at the stage when artists are still adapting their mentality to it," Oles Shishkovstov told Digital Foundry.

He also touches briefly on Microsoft and AMD's new fancy API - DirectX 12 and Mantle.

"Aside from them being much more close to the (modern) metal, those APIs are a paradigm-shift in API design. DX11 was 'I will keep track of everything for you'. DX12 says 'now it's your responsibility' - so it could be a much thinner layer. As for Mantle, it is a temporary API, in my honest opinion," added Shishkovstov.

Currently downloading both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux.

About 6-8gb each.

Very good graphic. I must tell you.

Thanks, more compelling to play both games again.

I did "savegame" my way to end Metro 2033 but gonna spend time by playing it with SPARTAN/HARDCORE mode. Fantastic experience.

Last Light is one of the game I wanted to play. The sequel!
I am having this problem as well.

Press "M" to pass this place but be cautious!

Hmmm, I will test it tonight if the download is completed.

I am going to delete the earlier versions also to free up some storage space.

Gonna wait for sales first. Too expensive for me.

You didn't own the earlier versions?

I also didn't buy it last time because people kept telling me it didn't run smooth. What's the game like ? Straight up shooter or survival horror type of gameplay ?
