Metro Exodus (2019) vs Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (2021) | Graphics/Performance Comparison

[@AbiShoukathAliA]

While ray tracing in metro exodus is impressive, I still like the dark atmosphere in the original

[@Sonyrocks1Of]

Tbf that was there original vision for the game ray tracing in this instance just messes with that

Have u played stalker ?

[@Samconery]

Yep the game is the best in terms of immersion. The journey and all feels really fun and interesting. The only problem I have with metro is it forcing you to not kill humans for good ending which kind of irritates me as it feels like a chore.

[@starknight5751]

@@blah2214 Well, Fallout and the metro series aim for different settings. Metro is where everything is dying and decaying, and aims for a more serious approach towards survival and gameplay. Whereas fallout is aimed at being fun and humourous at times. Fallout is an RPG, whereas Metro is a survival horror. Both are one of my favourite games of all time.

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

Exactly! I don't play games often, but I got Metro: Last Light from an Epic Games free games thing, and I played it for 4 hours straight! Time whizzed by and I didn't notice it even a little bit. The game is amazing, given if you're into sneaking around or go guns blazing.

[@readifdumb]

@@blah2214 I think New Vegas vs Metro is a very rough comparison. Yes they are both FPS games, but they are both going for completely different things. New Vegas is all about choice and character building, while Metro is going for immersion and gunplay. Both games do amazing at each field, but man it would be something to have a combination of the two. Also the directional hits/cripple system, VATs, 200+ unique weapons, crafting, lockpicking, hacking, etc... There was a lot that New Vegas did that Metro just came nowhere close to in terms of scope. Metro is a much more focused game, and that makes it amazing at what it does and a very perfected series, but New Vegas broader range definitely adds a lot more depth to it.

I think the outdoor areas look better with enhanced version, but in indoor areas I like the original version a lot more. It's darker, spookier and just goes with the feel of the game

[@Devin_Smile]

The enhanced version can be easily fixed with gamma settings, the original version can’t be fixed to make the outdoors look better. so

[@Hopkins955]

I also prefer the outdoor areas from the original, the colors are more punchy and saturated therefore more pleasing to my eye.

[@GuyFromJupiter]

I like that the enhanced edition isn't excessively dark in places that light should bounce to, but I did need to turn my gamma down to the minimum to make dark areas look correct. By default there was almost no darkness anywhere.

Short time? :) It was minimum 10years of work. Nvidia took long time to bring this to light, now we need at least 4-5 times more RT cores for Ray tracing to be effective.

[@AdiusOmega]

I think the atmosphere was a bit compromised due to the excess of light being allowed to bounce so they should have set the indirect lighting brightness value to something a bit lower but they really wanted to "showcase" just how powerful a fully dynamic global illumination solution is and so they kept it more within realistic realms. The reality is that just a smidgen of light can brighten even the most occluded areas especially if the materials themselves are bright. There are plenty of very dark scenes in this game and they are reflected that way realistically.

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

It's like a lot of people are saying in the comments. In the enhanced version, the scenes outside is a very muted vibrant, if that makes sense. The colours feel very real, like what you'd see if you were to go into a forest in real life, and the lighting makes it look very great and beautiful. The beautiful orange light of the sun, the very slight mist in some of the scenes, it adds character and depth. But in the original version, the indoors are way darker, dirtier and grimier, which fits amazingly with the dark and somewhat depressing world of Metro. It makes the game feels way more atmospheric, and it adds that little bit more tension that you might not see the dangers around you. And the lighting is more orange-y, which adds to the dirtiness, which is a positive. If only we can get a version with the best of both worlds, but for me, I'm playing the enhanced version. Even though I would've liked the dark indoors, I don't think it'd change too much in the game, and I think the textures look slightly better, crisper in the enhanced version. And the depth of field looks improved. And in that train scene, at 1:22 , the lighting in the enhanced version looks way better, so I think that'd also be very nice.

Do you need to earn the trophies all over again on ps5 enhanced edition compared to ps4? Considering you went platinum on ps4?

[@miss.brun0]

TL;DR I appreciate the artistic style of the original, but personally love the new lighting systems and the immersion it brings. I personally LOVE the enhanced edition. Playing on a PS5 on a 4k (relative, of course) TV with a very solid 60fps, and all the bells and whistles of ray-tracing and global illumination just blows my fucking mind. I’ve seen the argument made that the enhanced version takes away from the atmosphere of the original by adding stronger lighting, but I don’t know, I honestly like the new version. Yes, the original had no choice but to be wholly atmospheric and fueled almost entirely by artistic intention due to limitations in hardware, but I believe that the new lighting systems make the game SO much more immersive, even in dark spaces inside. There are times during interior portions where without my flashlight I’m literally blind, but when there’s sunlight coming through a window, it reflects off of the floor and reacts naturally. That to me does a lot for creating a foreboding atmosphere, not through lighting, but in the environment itself. You have these beautiful god rays of sun accented by light, airy fog, yet it’s pouring in through the window of a day care that’s been demolished by nuclear fallout and ravaged by insane, monstrous bandits, with the charred corpses of children and teachers strewn about. That to me is atmospheric. It gives off the message of “how am I as a survivor in this apocalypse supposed to appreciate this beautiful sunrise, if the sun is rising over an absolute hellscape?

[@JakubPErsek]

Back in the day, when I had x-box I couldnt play normally becouse everything was too dark and I had to sit close to it. If this was an option to either have it original or "enhanced" the way everything was brighter and so on, it would be overall greater for everyone, imo.

2:00 the Train scene is one of few that looked hella better in the old one. The Yellow sunlight just looked more iconic. Idk how.

[@thezombiepotato1]

We can all agree ray tracing helped open day light areas in this game, but years of expert lighting experience had the original looking way better in gloomy areas and even in shade. The enhanced edition really lacked grit from the original and should either be abandoned or very carefully scripted for future installments.

[@soerenbo]

It's 100% a settings (mainly Gamma) issue. I'm replaying the enhanced edition game these days and with a little bit lower gamma (or the gamma fix -deependark for the ones with the gamma bug) the Enhanced edition has way more dark places, and places where you absolutly need nightvision or your flashlight or you will see nothing. The person who did this comparison just failed to do so. To be honest in almost all places enhanced looks and fells way better, and way more natural. The way the light bounces, lights up places and darkens others is stunning for the atmosphere and the softer lit image with bounces everywhere makes the always insane level of detail in the Metro Games really pop.

[@memento81]

Just finished playing the Enhanced Edition and got say: the video comparisons don't do it justice. What we see here, is how the artifical lighting of a scene was just more dramatic than the more natural raytraced one. But that is a small tradeoff to this wonderfully soft and subtle light that feels just right. The visual wow-effects just shift to different things a bit, but the result is absolutely amazing. My next game is God of War now, and while the port is excellent and it looks great I now notice the fake lighting much more. I went into the Enhanced Edition with mixed expectations after what I had seen in comparisons, but then I loved it so much that it almost spoiled me bit for other games with traditional lighting methods.

This was the closest thing to path tracing until the recently launched "path tracing update" of cyberpunk 2077. The difference is that cyberpunk now ray traces all light sources (whereas metro enhanced does it with up to 256 sources), and cyberpunk samples two light bounces (instead of just 1). I hope the next metro pushes the boundaries once more, this is getting insane 😅

1:50 you either switched the scenes or the normal version looks way better with even more reflections that seems to be more true than the enhanced version.. raytraycing for me seems to give every game a grey filter ontop of everything and the contrast + vibrance of every color seems to get off...sad

Тот удивительный случай,когда расширенное издание не просто улучшило детали и графику,но и придало новое восприятие происходящего на экране,монстры стали монструознее,тени и освещение реалистичнее,лично у меня сложилось такое впечатление,что благодаря новому освещению картинка стала выглядеть намного живее.Отличная работа

[@Bad_Trip4-20]

Тупо ярче стало и всё

[@griffv5380]

Лишь кажется что деталей больше. На самом деле они такие же как и в оригинале, просто за счет яркого освещения их лучше видно. По-моему лучше всего выглядить в Метро(начало игры) и в Тайге, жаль Каспий не показали как самую солнечную локацию. Москве и Новосибирску это уже не идёт на пользу, т.к из-за солнца всё слишком весёлое(?) и теплое что-ли, а должно быть как раз мрачно-холодным.

[@big131]

Don't know what people are talking about liking the original better. I personally did not like it being dark for the sake of being dark, it looked unnatural in some regards having the sunshine in but not refract/reflect off surfaces. Sure it's brighter, but the dark areas in the enhanced edition in my experience are way darker than the original. A masterful job and a true labor of love.

[@johannjensson6190]

As someone who works with lighting every day for a living, i have to say that most people just "don't have the eyes" for it. Someone who's playing a musical instrument will listen to music very differently than someone who has never played themselves (most people). Same thing for every other perception including visual. You have to *at least* pay attention for a while to sensitize (?) to the input (which can be quite complex at times). (But as in music/rhythm - some people never get it. I say that from decade long teaching experience. Sad but true.)

[@sparda9060]

@@johannjensson6190 Thats the thing that pisses me off. People that I tell it to, would just brush it off like its my unfounded opinion about lighting because they dont care to understand the workings of it.

[@Overtorange]

Not many people want complete photo realism in a game. Games are just another artistic medium for telling a story. Look at Noir. A genre of movie that completely relies on manipulating the lighting in scenes to convey meaning. Having a dark and dingy look is what was originally intended for the game.

[@TheChodex]

Idk why but Enchanced edition version is how I remember Metro Exodus :D It's a bit weird how actual visual can be different then how our mind remembers it

[@edga7490]

More adwanced ray tracing = Enhanced Edition. Light, you know, is bouncing, so for this reason your room with window is bright everywhere, not only in the spot where the light falls.

A word: 1: I love the song (In the House In a Heartbeat) 2: I feel like the original is way more hard with the lighting than the new one, the new one makes the lighting softer and more malleable if that makes any sense. My main point is that original looks like Metro, and the new makes it look like something different, which I would be all for, if it wasn’t a Metro game.

@@Zorro33313 The draw distance is not actually effected, it's that the enhanced edition has more accurate atmosphere, which means you must look through more of the atmosphere the further away you look, which obscures vision.

Also the lighting in the train is a thousand times better. The enhanced edition is just better in all ways. That said, I work in animation, so maybe I notice more than the average person.

Adding this fog is nothing more than a very VERY old and well known method to hide shitty drawing distance and increase performance.

It’s the reason sunsets have that nice red glow to them. That’s atmosphere. Also, to claim that the atmosphere shouldn’t be there because on a clear day *you* can see farther than what the game displays, is to claim that YOU know what the atmosphere of the game should look like, better than the actual developers of the game. I’ll take their vision over yours personally, and they decided that it isn’t meant to be super clear. It isn’t a trick to hide draw distance bro, it’s just how reality works.
