@@askeladden450 Metro doesn't have a big open world, so it's much easier to create very detailed environments without problems with optimization

[@askeladden450]

@@MaksymNazarets idk, the atmosphere in the orginal stalker and metro games seem more immersive and desolate to me. The new game also has that in some areas, but other areas look very generic. Doesn't look as post-apocalyptic. Still a decent game though. Considering these games are all about immersion, I would have preferred if the devs sacrificed quantity for quality.

[@thunderboltproductionsshpk]

Metro is better because it's not just a game, it's based on a bestelling series of books, stalker is not, no matter who the developer is, Metro its better by default and this stalker 2 looks like a copypaste of Exodus in visual terms, which is hilarious since 5 years have passed since then.

Exodus is an absolute masterpiece of art. Also, I'm pretty positive this video didn't feature Enhanced Edition of Metro Exodus which by the way is still the only game ever made with infinite bounce ray traced global illumination lighting which looks absolutely ridiculously good. Color pallet and art direction wise, Exodus is undoubtedly more polished. It really looks like a game made by someone who really knows how to make good looking visuals.

[@GameSpark6]

True, Half of them was recorded in normal edition and another with enhanced. But on normal I increased shading to double. Thanks for comment mate💛

[@OreoFuffMcduff]

Nah art direction goes to stalker

[@OmegaEnvych]

Biggest difference is that Metro is a semi-open-world linear FPS with survival elements, where Stalker is true open world - neither is bad, Metro's design allows for tightly designed setpieces and allows designers to script everything in a way that player will get most cinematic experience, while Stalker allows way more emergent gameplay. Each game has its pros and cons and both have different aestetics. Metro is a true post-apocalypse with elements from other franchises like Mad Max clearly visible in them, while Stalker is a sci-fi game that happens in semi-real-life post-apocalyptic zone (SIRCAA is clear example of place where modern technology and modern world clearly clashes with abandonment and wild nature of the Zone - real piece of outer world in it - place where everything is new and shiny). Both have same ideas, but both have very different vibes to them.

[@ath777ete]

👏 👏 👏 👍👍👍

[@jlb4685]

From a technical standpoint Metro is open world just as much as Stalker in the sense that games aren't rendering the full map at all times, but at any given moment Metro is rendering just as much distance/detail as stalker 2, but yes stalker 2 has a much larger open world map. I think the locations/world in metro are more believable though since enemies don't randomly spawn around you every 30 feet like stalker. Each point of interest is hand crafted. In stalker you can clear a place of interest, walk away and then 5 mins later new random enemies will be in the same spot. It's kinda goofy.

But Stalker doesn't play on the graphics, it's the realism and the interest of the game that take precedence. Looting a weapon in Metro ok, looting a new weapon in Stalker is still way above.

[@ashtondillard6906]

I remember getting a 4k monitor and the first game I wanted to try was Metro Exodus after the next gen upgrade patch on series x. Was not disappointed. Very few games can run 4k with path tracing on console at 60fps. Idk how they did it but that is still one of the prettiest games I’ve ever played. I remember walking into a room and just noticing all the little detail, shadows, and reflection on every little item on a shelf. I’m telling you if you guys have a mid-high end pc or a next gen console play Metro with path tracing absolutely mindblown even today.

[@chien.nguyen.]

It was essentially the first game to fully apply RT to production lighting. They recorded the entire game lighting with infinite rays, basically a method like editing with VFX doing RT, path tracing is also limited to only 2 rays. Once they are done recording that light they will fine tune it so the game reproduces that light even without RT enabled, and if you enable RT 1 70% of the light record will be added and the rest is the RT process from the GPU. That process makes the RT lighting in the game very beautiful, but the performance doesn't require as much as path tracing

[@taylorhickman84]

" Very few games can run 4k with path tracing on console at 60fps." I don't believe any can, don't they all use dynamic resolution?

Judging by the comments, people don’t seem to care about realism at all when it comes to graphics, style, or world-building. They think Metro looks better. For me, when directly comparing the visuals, Metro feels plastic. This is due to the lighting technologies, how light interacts with materials, the color palettes used, and the artistic approach to filling interiors. Most abandoned buildings look exactly like they do in STALKER-everything is looted in those houses.

One thing that people dont talk about is how accurately presented the revolver is in metro exodus. Its the only game afaik that actually has the hammer cock back and strike the primer before the gun actually firing. In game this meant that although you can fire more rapidly the delay meant marksman shooting was more difficult.

[@vl3244]

The gas mask UI in Metro has never been beat. All the water, dirt, grime, and cracks that form on it over time, and how you can manually wipe it clean... such a cool immersive feature that no other game I've ever played has. Not to mention how it changes your view, and your character's breathing noise.

[@Bloodhurl67]

Yeah I just wish the "wiping the gas mask" was able to be used more. The majority of the time the grime on your screen goes away faster than you can clean it.

I think Metro Exodus is the overall better looking game. I have no idea what's going on in Stalker 2, but once you are inside a building the game always gives me the same vibes the Half Life 2 engine gave me 20 years ago. 20 years ago that was good, today..? Not so much. I think it's something with the way how light works in this game in combination with some models that look like they belonged in an older game. I find that especially noticable with humans in this game. They look like they were from a remaster instead of a new game. Stalker has obviously the superiour engine but these flaws are what kinda ruins the visuals for me during my playthrough. It's like high resulution textures on "low polygon character models" or something, I don't know. It's hard to describe what bugs me, bug something with the visuals really really bugs me personaly and it bugs me so much that I consider it the main thing that ruins the experience for me.

there is def a problem with lighting yes. in stalker 2 lights doesn't looks volumetric. its crap and ugly.

[@SrDabuten]

You are not alone. Models, lightning, animations... are all subpar

[@Kyanpepper25]

both games are great, but i think over all stalker 2 is better imo. Stalker just feels more alive and lived in (weird seeing how it takes place in abandoned exclusion zone but that's beside the point) It more immersive, it feels like your there living through it and making decisions on your own, toughing it out. Metro feels more like a story (which it is) Its more linear and scripted, which is great for story telling, but does leave the game feeling semi empty at times, along with it limiting your freedom.

Stalker 2 has obviously updated physics and textures and indeed many of the bunker, sewer areas reminded me of Metro.

[@BifrostMR]

I feel like comparing these parts of the games is useless as Metro and Stalker are two very different games for very different experiences. Metro is linear and focuses on telling it's story, while Stalker is open and you have the option to change the story, depending on which faction you help out and stuff. Both games got great stories, it just depends what story you want.

[@Glenn_Quagmire]

You also have the option to change the story based on your actions in metro Exodus as well

[@BlackWolf9988]

Except metro devs are literally former stalker devs. Sure the open world parts arent as big as the stalker 2 but if it comes to actual gameplay, story and atmosphere then metro had always an advantage over the stalker games.

I didn't think Metro Exodus could hold up so well graphically alongside a game running on Unreal Engine 5. But honestly, it’s a testament to how good the game engine the studio used was at the time.

[@gameurai5701]

I picked up Metro Exodus 2-3 weeks ago for just 4€ with all DLCs on a steam sale and it's been a great experience. I already finished the main campaign and the Two Colonels DLC, might start up the other DLC soon. I don't like fps games at all, but the game allowed me to do stealth and so I did. Lo and behold, I got the best ending on my first playthrough going in blind! I was so content, I don't think I've ever gotten the best ending playing a game for the first time ever. I'm going to pick up Stalker 2 in 1-2 years once all the bugs are fixed and some DLCs are released. It looks good, but going from Metro to Stalker consecutively is like going from Bloodborne to Dark Souls 3, not really something I'd wanna do.

I say that the Metro game today is graphically better developed than Stalker 2. It is seen that previously the developers made them with love. Look at the details in Metro. They look very detailed and they were games with very good optimization, not like the games that are released today. For example, Stalker 2 is lacking a lot. I tried it and I didn't like it.

[@ЭдвардГлюк]

The Stalker game was based on three components: a unique philosophy in which harsh men mastered the zone, a unique OST and its own engine, yes with bugs, but which had its own meaning. Now there is nothing of this and the game has become a bogged-down, third-rate shooter of 2010 quality. Russian Russian expressions in the game "chiki-briki" are familiar to all players, so GSC removed the Russian voice acting, which was a unique advantage of the game.
