STALKER 2 vs. Metro Exodus | Physics and Details Comparison

Both fantastic games, different but both worth your time.

Metro was made by part of the original stalker development team when they split after COP. I love both games🎉

[@bazaab42]

Totally Agree!

[@bitethebullettooth]

I absolutely love Metro, but it shines as a linear story experience like 2033 and Last Light. Exodus does a lot of cool stuff and looks fantastic, but as an open world game in pales in comparison to Stalker 2 - even in its current messy state

[@shasotaualfa]

@@drakodrizzt7795 Not after CoP, but after Shadow of Chernobyl, when GSC's main boss didn't pay his team for like 4 months and instead bought 4 expensive cars at the time nobody from his team even could dream of paying their bills. :D

[@Naramitzas]

I love both, but Exodus Looks Fantastic, a lot more clear and less blurry and yet still it runs 100 times better than stalker 2

[@maximilianoalcaraz7351]

That's probably because Exodus already has 4 years of updates under his belt + an enhanced edition.

[@4ikibrikivdamk3]

In forest area exodus run's the same for me. (enhanced edition ultra) But yeah GI in metro is better right now, because GSC will add hardware RT only post launch later. Thought any open area scene stalker 2 look's way more detailed - wich is expected, one game is past gen, and one current gen

Metro Exodus is not fully Open world like STALKER 2.. But both are good in its own ways... I liked both.. Both are worth playing... Metro released with good optimization where as STALKER still improving in performance with frequent updates

[@Black0raz0r]

very true.... many forget that Stalker 2 just came out and has a seamless 64km² Open World compared to the very story driven Metro games. I also like both games and both franchises. but Stalker 2 has something I like more... the realism in the game compared to Metro.

[@martinwolker9510]

In Stalker 2, you can jump into deep water, but the developers have designed the game to gradually slow down your movement as you approach deeper areas, eventually stopping you completely. This mechanism is intended to prevent unexpected deaths in swamps and other bodies of water. However, you can bypass this 'barrier' by jumping directly into the deep water. Similar to the mechanics in Metro, doing so will cause you to instantly drown or die.

[@leverkmet]

as a fan of stalker back in the days and metro I think that both are awesome games with each one having special things on their own, but overall and after finishing stalker 2 I can say that metro is more polished in their mechanics and performance, and stalker is better visually

[@Black0raz0r]

Stalker 2 has an around 64 km² huge seamless Open World compared to Metro Exodus and was just released 5 weeks ago..... Also Metro is al lot mor scripted than Stalker. Metro is way more Story driven and takes the Player by the Hand quite literally.... Also the Devs of Stalker 2 had way more problems than 4 A games ever had. originally it was announced for 2012 but they had to close the studio for a while because of money issues, some years later when they reopened the studio and started to develop the game again the Ukrainian War started and had to develop the game while some of the devs had to join the military to fight for Ukraine....

[@leverkmet]

@Black0raz0r what's your point? my point still stands

[@davidbueso3840]

​@@leverkmetyour point still stands. However how can you compare an almost 6 yo game that had many updates and even a enhanced/remastered game 4 years ago. Stalker just came out and hasn't even been a year. They just released a life patch witch is making the game much more immersive. Lets not talk about the back to back patches within nearly 2 months. Imagine the time of a year and or 6 years like metro. And, being open world, you're decision not like metro which is a linear narrative with some open environments. Both games are great and I enjoy both. At this moment, im being honest and just played stalker 2 in the beginning andnstopped, because like you said is not polished yet. However, im on console so I'm waiting for the patch to arrive and will be getting on when it arrives.

[@leverkmet]

@@davidbueso3840 my opinion is based on the actual state of the game. of course performance wise it's going to improve with the time, but i still think that some of the metro mechanics and interface are way more polished, but that's game design. i don't really care if one game is more linear than the other, i love both games and i'm looking forward on seeing future stalker updates. the game has so much potential and it's something metro will never be able to compete with

[@jrutter73]

I like BOTH. But let's pretend Metro isn't a 5+ year old game that still looks, performs and plays better with far more polish on a supposedly inferior engine =) You forgot gunplay, enemy animations and interactivity which Metro is also far superior. Better storytelling and voice acting as well. Also, better view distance, binoculars, night vision. Everything that actually MATTERS. Why do the NPCs in S2 still just stand there and not shoot back after threatening them, UNLESS you actually hit someone? Its half baked. A pointless interaction that's interesting ONCE. Then you realize it's pointless. Just like water. You just DIE if you go too deep, an invisible wall to control load balancing in the open world. This comparison is limited and actually doesn't really help, hehe.

Stalker is the template for a lot of games. Loved the Stalker games from day one and played the games again which is not usual for myself. Team Stalker, played Metro, Chernobylite as well and always had memories connected to my beloved Stalker games 😊

[@Redacted_Actual_]

It's hard to pick. I love both games, for some of the same reasons, and for some different reasons. Exodus was way ahead of its time and still stands strong to this day. They had some very "forward" thinking aspects in that game that other developers would do well to take notice. For Stalker 2, i actually don't mind the flat PDA on a flat screen. They were all like that, and it's part of the nostalgia. What would be cool in Stalker 2, is to either be able to keep your map on a Compass (N/S/E/W) orientation, OR in a navigational mode that rotates with your direction of travel, kind of like GPS in your car. And also zoom in just a little further.

I haven’t looked back at Metro Exodus since I beat the Sam’s Story expansion, maybe a couple years ago now. I enjoyed Stalker 2 so much I watched the Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker, which was an inspiration to the game. I also want to read Roadside Picnic, the book the film is based on and another part of the inspiration to the game.

I think STALKER 2 should definitely use the PDA implementation like Metro because the world is still going on around you/live. You need to be able to see if someone is lurking. Metro's version is on point especially with the backpack and on the fly changing weapon parts out, instead of a little left, right, up, down animation. Backpack all day. Good lil vid. Drew.

Guys, the Zone lives in you even when you finish Stalker once or multiple times, what's left for you after you finished each of Metro games? Metro is just a game in the end but Stalker is definitely not just a game.

[@hightechnician]

Then I play the, again some years later, like you reread a good book, or rewatch a good movie. I love Stalker, but the story of metro is amazing. I read the books too after I played 2033 when it came out. It makes you go through emotions that stalker would never be able to. I never felt emotionally attached in stalker like I did in metro. I almost cried in the end of Exodus. I think I played all of them 5-7 times over the years. Stalker has the zone ™ - but compared to Anomaly, Stalker 2 feels superficial. A lot bc the 100m radius around you is just laughable. - but why not have a 3d pda? Why no ranks and factions you can join? Stalker to me is about not feeling like the main character on rails - like metro. Stalker 2 tries hard now to also be this bombastic cutscene driven story experience, while that was never why I played stalker.

[@drakodrizzt7795]

That's because you are a Stalker fan. And I don't mean it as an insult.

Metro it wasn't just a game for me.

I like how Eastern countries that make gun games, their weapon can get broken or jammed a lots while Western countries focus more in the pure shooting. Hey keep your neutral state and cool head when you read this. Eastern weapons are more durable and that's a fact, because their logic design focuses on the harassment environment that will ruin your guns, so their gun design pay attention to jamming and durable. And because of that, Eastern games has that kind of logic in their games, they add jam and broken weapons. While Western countries overall focus more than the performance, they focus more on the accuracy, shooting speed, weight. So their shooting games also focus more on the shooting and chaos, but they don't usually add Jam and Broken weapons cuz those who study about guns know too well that, their complex weapons usually jam more often and less durable than their cousin's guns, especially when players are shooting their guns like crazy. So they don't add jam and broken.

A lot of the comparisons in this video feel unfair and removes context. For example they claim that you can't drown or die from radiation in Metro, when that is only true for the easy difficulty and there are multiple intricate ways to change difficulty settings from monster health to ammo scarcity. So it feels kind of manipulative to point out only one setting when Metro actually gives you more control over game settings than STALKER.

Stalker definitely has the best weapon jamming animations. Really shows you the struggle in unjamming your gun. Metro you just reload by the looks of it. Well not really reload but you get what I mean💀

[@psychofroggy8062]

I will say Metro has the cool unique weapon designs going for them. Stalker uses real weapons instead of making their own up besides the Gauss weaponry💀

[@CODsoldier115]

I don't care if Metro doesn't have the same details as Stalker 2. It's still one hell of a game...both games are awesome. In my opinion, Stalker 2 was the best game of this year, and probably is one of the best from this generation.

12:49 that's very satisfying for some reason

Metro Exodus looks miles ahead of Stalker 2 while running better to. Have never seen a better RT implementation.

Stalker world/plot is more about adventure and science oriented, whereas Metro plot is more discovery, neurotic, and desperate. The stalker world is just the zone, there is still a mainland, a normal and safe world. People are mostly those seeking fortune, miracles, or scientific discovery, mostly military or ex-military, scientists, etc. In Metro the entire world is post nuclear fallout, there is no mainland, it's much more desperate and everyone is trying to survive, you have cannibals, slavery, cultists, communists, fascists, etc. communities are very lived-in with families, children, schools, laundry, food/water supply. don't have that in stalker, the emptiness in metro makes you contemplate nuclear war and the scenes are much more grandiose despite the map being less than stalker 2. overall i enjoy both, but if i had to compare stalker and metro, stalker is like Game of Thrones, and Metro is like Lord of the Rings

Ukrainian game development knows what the gamers and fans really like and want.

just beat stalker 2 its already one of my all time favorites and definitely my goty. after beating it i bought and started metro like 2 days ago i like it but it hasnt quite hooked me like stalker did. for their similarities they seem like very different games but im only a few hours into metro compared to 300 plus hours into stalker

[@ms2arg]

Ambos son grandes juegos y tenemos que estar alegres de tenerlos.

Metro Exodus a été pour moi une des meilleures expériences du jeu vidéo ! J’ai démarré Stalker 2 avec 10h de jeu pour l’instant. Donc je ne prononcerai pas une comparaison. Même si il y a une ressemblance ainsi qu’avec Fallout.

[@koppy82]

to be honest, the aesthetic and visuals of Metro Exodus always impressed me and I think it looks nicer than Stalker 2

[@reneeeliesermartelotteibar817]

Metro works! Have a nice day

[@RS-Requiem]

Love both, but Stalker 2 is a game that im gonna play until i die, just like i still play the old Stalker games.

2:49 что значит "нельзя утонуть"? если несколько раз упасть в воду, то Артём погибнет
