Metro 2033 Redux - Graphics Comparison

[@leon30517]

lmaooo

[@BionicDirector117]

It's important to remember that the Redux edition was more than just a graphical update. The absolutely shitty AI and broken stealth from 2033 was replaced with those from Last Light, as well as all of the combat dialogue. Additionally, the gas mask in Redux is new for both games, which finally works the way it should as it was abysmally bad in 2033 and only slightly improved in Last Light. Not to mention 100% of the DLC is included with Redux, making the price more than worth it. I'm not bashing anyone's opinions towards the graphics but anyone who says there's no reason to pick up Redux is just plain wrong.

[@lokro2207xd]

I have metro ll is it worth for me buying the redux Version?

[@DankbeastPaul]

Lorenz Kroneisl No. Metro LL redux is basicly a GotY edition. Metro 2033 Redux however, is worth it.

[@BionicDirector117]

Lorenz Kroneisl Yes, unless you already have all of the DLC for Last Light.

[@Ang3lUki]

LL's ai isn't great still, but I'd have to admit, it's a quantum leap from 2033

looking at it, i kinda prefer the "Surreal" graphical lighting. Reminds me of some old graphic novels that had this type of shading style, has a good visual mood and shows what you need to see, makes it mysterous and interesting that way.

[@nukesrus2663]

[@brightestlight9462]

[@terriblycharismaticduck2717]

[@daft2hans]

[@TravelWithCesarin]

[@this_is_petro1700]

Terribly Charismatic Duck I agree but the A.I was improved drastically in the redux

[@Eibond]

Don't see a shit from 2 meters?

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

Just turn down the brightness of the redux and there is no meaningful difference

[@jackwilson183]

The whole point of the menu is artyom is writing his memoirs and this is what the game is, hence the narration, and in the redux menu you can see anna pacing and their child running around, therefore last lights redemption ending is canon, THERE! Can everyone stop bitching about this now?

[@Leomann88]

+jack wilson (gamersinarms) You have a good point. Some people made this statement as well and I believe to be true since she is there and I assume that the little child is theirs. And ofc Artyom tells the story so I think the cannon is the good ending in last light. Also that ending makes me feel better about my character, as he seemed to learn since the events of 2033 happened, open minded.

[@Schizm1]

+Leomann88 sorry to ruin that for You but I've just read Metro 2035 and... Well... Artyom is going to get much, much worse. BUT! Canon ending of Last Light is good one (SPOILER)- he survives attack at the end of LL.

[@Leomann88]

Schizm1 Oh damn, I didn't know that, I read somewhere that they wanted to make the next game about Hunter but might have been a rumor article. Anyway u got me thinking that I should read the book but I'm scared now :-S.

[@Schizm1]

Well Metro 2034 is about Hunter but it's not very good IMO. But this month the final book was released Metro 2035 and it again follows Artem after the events from Last Light. And... well... I don't want to spoil it for You but it's very different than any other Metro books and games.

[@Schizm1]

***** Well, let me put it this way- After the events in M2033 he became obsessed about leaving the metro and his journey in M2035 is very, VERY pesymistic and dark. It's hard to tell anything more without spoiling but the book is very different from previous two but it's also very dark and heavy.

[@Wignut]

Honestly, there are noticeable improvements like the skybox, textures, animation (in some parts), and godrays. But other than that, it seems more like they wanted to sway the look to fit Last Light's look. The atmosphere seems brighter, models seem different, and less incandescent lighting (orange). It seems more like an artistic redux. I have no problem with that, it makes playing both in a row smooth. The things that kind of ticked me off was the drastic model change of Alex, it was not really called for and I kind of liked his old look better. His new one makes him look more like a wimp and less like a badass. I mean he does look almost identical to Krasnov. So you could argue it was to distinguish the two apart.

[@YamiGenesis]

the original looks grittier and more realistic. the character models in the new one looks cheesy and more cheery for post apocalyptic. but the action/shooting sequences do look much better

[@tonzai514]

well new one feels like... not so horrors like the original one, cause metro 2033 are action horror but new one are more action tho

Massive difference, clearly a lot of work went into this. Not sure which one I prefer though, something about the original just feels better, even though the new one looks fresh and very pretty as well.

[@Argoon1981]

The new one looks to cinematic, full of specular and bloom the old one looks more gritty and realistic, in the end is all a matter of taste. Me i will stay with the original, was the first i bought, already beat it, no need to buy a linear game again just for the graphics.

[@tianzhao_taipei]

[@WillJohnson138]

The games are full of Easter Eggs :D

[@FightCain]

I think they should kept the beginning part as the atmosphere kind of foreshadows the story much better. Also, the atmosphere in the original gives a good feel of sadness, and hopelessness. But, the Redux did a great job of making the game look better on other parts.

[@Zelousmarineinspace]

The original has MUCH better lighting. The Redux has much better animation. The original is more like the book with it's depressing atmosphere. The Redux seems more like an "Aliens" version of the originals "Alien" motif. The original seems more dark and gritty. The Redux seems more frantic and faster-paced

[@siamanspaps]

Charater designs look better in original because they have that depresing dark look. Whole atmostphere and feel of the game is different original feels darker, more depresing and scary.

[@williamnixon3994]

I went for my first time with the OG 2033 after playing Redux since 2016, and I have to say, the graphics and environment of the OG game is significantly more appealing to the eyes compared to Redux, however Redux makes stealth a possibility in just about every scenario with humans, along with making (IMO) significant improvements to how guns operate. Yeah, the Shambler is cool, but not being able to reload the 4th shell holder thanks to that grip was a bit annoying; I wish they went with dumping a Volt Driver at the camp fire where you face off against bandits like you could find on the OG Metro 2033, really gives you a taste of just how powerful the Hellbreath is rather than having to wade through to the Church to finally get your hands on what is perhaps hands down the most powerful weapon in the game series, with Helsing coming in a close second and the revolver/AK tied as third

[@feuerreiteroderso8655]

You can already get the Hellbreath gun two hours earlier in the free stations that is under the eye of the communists.

[@easilycrazyhat]

2033 and Last Light are two of my favorite games already, and I gotta say the Redux style just doesn't work. 2033's visuals were darker and grittier, but that was a huge part of the experience, imo. Perhaps it was intentional to hide what the developers saw as flaws, but it worked really, really well. To remove that element just changes it too much. Happy they love the game enough to keep with it this much, but I'm gonna stick with the games I already have.

[@TheNuclearMiner]

I've played through both the original and the redux version of 2033 and i believe that "changing for the sake of changing" sums it up. actual additions such as better transitions between areas, two shooting galleries, more controlled weapon customization and weapons handling simply isnt enough to justify the "remastered" tag and prize if you have already played the original. *spoiler* i loved the harder librarians on the highest difficulty though, they really feel unkillable now compared to in the original

Its not that the original is Graphically better than redux, its that the lighting systems used in the original give 2033 more of a dark and gory place which seemingly fits the series better where as last lights engine using a different type of lighting system and essentially just brightens the place showing more detail. but the lack of detail in 2033 actually fits the atomsphere of the game better and just gives a better feel imo

There was this one Game of Thrones Episode where we spent like 10 minutes of watching everyone present almost falling off the dragon, one after another. Like, if you predictably make every.single.time. someone gets into a car or climbs on a flying thing the same fucking dangling/near miss sequence, you dont add anything. Unless you expect your audience to have a 10 second attention span and you are afraid they'll start scrolling instagram if you don't yell: "Hey, i'm still here!", every 9 1/2 seconds.

[@dovaminer]

You can tell in both reduxes there's a graphical improvement but they put more effort in reskinning and changing the atmosphere more than a graphical improvement which I'm fine with so it all just comes down to 2 things: 1. How much are you willing to pay and 2.Do you prefer a more dark, horror omniscient area (original) or a better looking retexture of most things and a more realistic point of view (redux) I'd personally get metro 2033 redux and original Metro:Last Light.

[@Blag_Cog]

All of the character model swaps and animation swaps were for the worse. The graphics are slightly better though, specifically the lighting.

[@SidNightWalker]

Yeah I'd have to agree with others, the original is simply much more atmospheric. I also think the original character model designs were better as well. And just overall technically it's not that great of a difference anyway. Which just goes to show you these next gen rereleases are a bunch of milking fucking bullshit, if you needed more evidence of that.

commander demicleas It's a desktop made of various pieces. Custom cloned design. Didn't make it myself so I don't know the specs, but it does not matter which computer I have.

[@david_contente]

Yes, I do prefer the original edition too.

[@Draycko]

The originals atmosphere seems better IMO. The redux only seemed to trump the original in a few ares. Didn't like some of the Redux's character models either, that dude at 00:48 reminded me of the Dr. from TF2.

[@hellcatdave1]

Wow, Redux is just stupid. They take realistic loadouts and gear, and turn it into stupid fucking beanies and shit that wouldn't survive nuclear devastation too easy. Seriously? Hey, let's take this guys Altyn helmet and give him a fucking beanie.

[@75Krusty]

Seems like a lot of Remastered or Redux versions of games crank up the lightning. In my opinion it's good if a new engine can create better shadows and better lightning. But if a new version are lighter than the older version, you loose some atmosphere and horror factor. Seems also in this Redux version that is the case. In some situations the light are better in new version, if there is a bonfire like in eg. at 00:00:53. I also notice that the camera have been moved slightly away from the characters, so they are no longer from top to buttom of the screen, but more like 3/4. Not sure what that should be good for. I prefered to have a good look at the characters, instead they seemed to stay some meters away.

[@ПавелАнисимов-щ6р]

Мне одному кажется что оригинал в некоторых моментах лучше ?

[@романроманыч-э7н]

Освещение да..получше стало,а вот персонажи проработаны лучше чем в redux.зря изменили.

[@данилкривоберцев]

По мне в оригинале более атмосфера заброшенности и не изведоного

[@alexjudokharkov5516]

неа не одному мне тоже так кажется

[@3iHard]

он намного лучше и персонажи от души сделаны, нахер, редукс для консолей. А библиотекари это вообще пипец не буду спойлить, как годзилла новая 2016 такие же херовые.

It makes me proud to see game developers put so much effort into improving the visuals of they're rereleases. Some companies should take some notes from these guys. *coughs*activision and ea*coughs*

[@samuelllakaj5439]

One thing I liked about the original was the loadouts. I could carry three revolvers all configured differently while in Redux you can only carry one of each weapon.

[@arrobarodri]

What's change? 1- the ilumination 2- some characters nothing more.

[@mattyp1239]

optimization

[@patrickh92able]

Dude the graphics are better, Metro 2033 is running for old hardware, they pretty much took the engine from Last Light and redid the whole 2033 with the new graphic engine, use your brain man

[@SeanUCF]

There is a lot more detail in Redux. I played them both last night and the difference is night and day. Last Light is barely noticeable though.

[@patrickh92able]

SeanUCF in the Redux of 2033 for how long its been since the original if you didn't notice they actually made all the characters aged. They are the same characters just older versions

[@galacticrelic258]

*Every single asset in the game

[@burns0100]

Its so 50/50 i mean in some places the Original fit so much better but in others Redux did such an amazing job. This was one of my all time Favourite series and still is, I've yet to truely delve into Redux and the DLC but the two base games are a must play for anyone really.

[@Cri354]

Perfect example of "Soul vs Soulless"

[@4tranVault]

It looks better in some ways but the lighting seems to be to bright in some areas removing that dark gritty feel in some spots that the original had. And i don't understand why the fully redid the character models for some characters.

[@somebody2978]

I am a fan of the Metro series and, sad to say, that M2033R is worse than original M2033. HD textures, volumetric effects, dark enviroment, epic cutscenes... all that is gone. In fact, M2033R engine is worse than MLL, highest preset needs to look good. Even MLLR looks worse than the original MLL. While the effects on light bulbs seem to have improved, REDUX (both games) edition appears to have been interpolated low resolution in relation to the original MLL because looks more blurred. Say M2033R is better than the original is nothing more than a placebo marketing effect. Metro 2033 (Original) Metro Last Light (Complete Edition) End of story.-

[@louisarius9672]

At least the Redux version is more hardware-friendly. HD textures are sharper and more detailed in Redux too, but I don't know why but Original seems....better.

[@somebody2978]

Louisarius Trollerlol The textures are worse in REDUX are low resolution. Perhaps a smaller framebuffer than the original, I noticed this when trying to improve with sweetfx (same settings). I installed both games and was terribly disappointed with the graphic level.

[@louisarius9672]

Cosme Fulanito Ah that explains it, no wonder Redux seems like only the lighting is better than the Original.

[@somebody2978]

Louisarius Trollerlol Well, lighting in general is also not better in M2033R, only the lens flare. Rays of light are better in original M2033. Clear examples are the missions of Artyon and Miller in the library.

[@стрелок-ч7р]

Cosme Fulanito I agree.

[@galebanbollow]

I played it back in 2010 on the 360 and the Redux looks leaps and bounds better...cant wait to play it again.

[@NoobFromUA]

yes, original version much better. It has atmosphere.

[@Sandman4425]

Redux looks better the main reason people are saying the original looks better is because its darker and they like the more dark tone.

[@MuscledRMH]

Why the fuck are they showing Xbox gameplay in a PC comparison. They also showed PS4 footage in the review while it was being played on PC. WTF IS THIS? You can't use a mouse and keyboard on Metro Redux on PS4 but you can use a Xbox controller on PC so it might be PC gameplay but the review did NOT show PS4 footage, it was clearly PC because of the indications saying press 'E'.

[@lalalabababa]

What are you talking about? This is PC footage.

[@haychzallee4742]

lalalabababa he to stupid to realise that

[@Chrispy4949]

MuscledRMH Dude..... You're home, go drunk!

[@TheBadAssNcrRanger]

You're getting mad over nothing...

[@chugg159]

You are confusing the fuck out of me with your comment, but I understand what you mean.

[@anomalyraven]

GameSpot, you messed up in the end of the video with the flying beasts. Showing Redux material with an Original tab and vice verse. xD

[@DerpyPannycake]

Redux npcs looks shit Original look quite good Redux atmosphere Nailed it Original Good but not as good I played both versions with everything maxed out i prever the redux version for better graphics and atmosphere

[@GuyOnAChair]

Better gameplay and noticeable improvements world wise are great. Tonal changes with lighting are something I'm not picky over but they aren't bad or a downgrade. Not to mention the better optimization. Redux all the way. Art style wise they have made it cohesive with Last Light as you can now recognize the factions and the optimization is leagues better.

[@w0bbl3r]

Original is far superior in every way. Yes, even the broken stealth AI in the original is better than the horrible, blind, useless stealth AI in redux and last light. I prefer being overly punished for being slow/spotted, than not being punished at all, even for walking clearly in front of enemy in bright light

[@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin]

Not the biggest fan of the redesigned models but the overall graphics look pretty good, is there any reason to get this game if you already own 2033 and LL outside of the graphics though?

[@ThisUploaded]

Comes with all the dlc, plus they replaced the stealth mechanics in 2033 with the ones from ll, as well as fixed the gas marks in both games.

[@coolshiznit13]

You can still play 2033 stealth, you have a choice of LL stealth as well.

[@daamazinfatb0y752]

***** It comes with all of Last Lights Mechanics. No more clunky shooting, clunky stealth, smarter ai and so on. I can't wait to play it myself and compatre em both. 2033 was just epic and so tense.

[@phantmking4897]

You get all DLC for both games as well with this version.

[@Dani3l241]

Not only do you get all the DLCs but it's also fairly cheap. Got my copy last week for 20.00 at gamestop

[@cdbarbuto]

The original art style suits the game so much better IMO. This was just a cash grab. Not necessary at all.

[@Nightmare78hAlo]

The original looks so much more darker and depressing which adds an amazing mood and atmosphere to the game. Obviously the newer version has even higher res textures and better shading quality but it just doesn't feel right for Metro 2033, the model for Artyom's stepfather also feels out of place when compared to the original. I'm an avid Metro fan, love the books and i compleated both games multiple times even on Ranger Hardcore and i honestly don't see a reason to pick up the redux version even thought on PC you can get it for like 9.99 only on steam if you own all Metro games allready.

[@ПавелТаранюк-й4ы]

When the original looks more attractive then redux

[@paulb4100]

Even though people say that they prefer the original because it's atmosphere is better (more dark and depressing), I want to say the exact opposite. The comparison doesn't show a lot of dark areas except for the hubs, and when you explore the Metro in Redux, it has WAY better atmosphere. The revamped lighting, reflections, and texture make the Redux atmosphere extremely good. In Redux keeping your flashlight on or not can make the biggest difference in how everything looks and how it makes you feel. As I have played the original in 2013 (and am playing the Redux now) I strongly recommend getting the Redux (also because of the better performance).
