Yesterday, rumours swirled about that 4A games and new publisher Deep Silver were set to remaster both Metro games, bundle them together as Metro Redux for the new consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Because definitive editions are this generation’s “HD Remakes,” it was quite obviously true. Deep Silver has now confirmed this.
“Metro Redux. You may have heard of it… even though you probably shouldn’t have!” the publisher said in a statement to VG247
We could issue a ‘We do not comment on rumour and speculation’ statement and pretend this never happened. They’re pretty boring to read. They’re also pretty boring to write.
So we’re going to comment on rumour and speculation instead.
Is Metro Redux real?
Yes. We never made any secret of 4A’s desire to bring Metro to the latest generation of console hardware.
But what you saw leaked was taken from an old, internal planning presentation, containing some nuggets of truth but a lot of hypothetical ideas and place holder material.
(Eagle eyed fans will recognize the artwork on the ‘packshot’ as the art from the original Russian edition of the Metro 2033 novel. And that ‘logo’ is just the old Metro 2033 logo with the ’2033? scrubbed out and ‘Redux’ added… )
As you can see, we’re not quite ready to reveal 4A Games’ first next-gen console project, but we will be making an announcement this side of E3.
And we think the reality is a lot more exciting than the out-dated material that got leaked shows, and we’re itching to share it with you. Just not yet.
Metro Redux contains both games, and all DLC. Here’s what was leaked yesterday:

Metro Last Light is on the wishlist. One day I will get you!

Right with you on this one Trev!
Thoroughly enjoyed Metro, and really looking forward to MLL

I only finished the original about a month ago, it was damn good.

I need to get the first. I hear it is a bit more of a shooter than the second?
Alien Emperor Trevor
April 1, 2014 at 10:29
It’s an FPS alright. Don’t know how it compares to Last Light.

My only complaint is the badly written monsters that have the ability to run through you.

You really need to play it on Ranger Hardcore mode. It makes the game about 130% more intense. Not difficulty wise, because those mutants die with one or two shots, humans die with about 1 shot. But the atmosphere…omw. I cant stress it enough, entering the surface is fucking nerve wrecking! You have like 2-3minutes of oxygen to do EVERYTHING! Not to mention you cant see shit thought your half broken gasmask.

Still getting myself stuck and obsessed with STALKER. So these can wait.

How is that working out for you?
Jedi JJ

Misery is insanely difficult. But so far loving it. Makes it a million times more scary when it gets dark.
Admiral Chief Railjack
April 1, 2014 at 10:09
Lol, need to get into that, really enjoyed STALKER!

I don’t want to replay Stalker. Not because I won’t love it to bits, but because it distracts from knocking games off the backlog. Finished Mafia 2 over the weekend, currently busy with the new Rise of the Triad.
Jedi JJ
April 1, 2014 at 10:16
My mission was to get to 70% of my backlog off. I got to 68%. Started STALKER. Now I don’t know when I’ll ever get to play new games again.
Mossel
April 1, 2014 at 11:00
I smashed Gone Home off my backlog last night. The game is a full 118minutes. I felt so proud.

Saw you jamming that, wanted to ask you how it is (was)
Mossel
April 1, 2014 at 11:09
Well, it was a little short for my liking (that’s what she said).
I’m kinda in two minds. Don’t yet know if I liked it. It was fun and intriguing, but somehow I’m dissapointed.
Jedi JJ
April 1, 2014 at 11:51
Haha. I still have a few big ones to get off like FEAR 2 and 3 (and not looking too forward to them either)
Admiral Chief Railjack

Saw you jamming that, how is it?
Alien Emperor Trevor

I’m really enjoying it. It basically plays like the original game in a fancy new engine, so if you enjoyed that you’ll enjoy this. It’s old school – so very fast movement, dumb AI, unlimited ammo for bullet weapons, health pickups, secret areas, etc. Nothing at all like modern FPS that we’re used to now.

I’ve spent too many hours spent on STALKER. The first game was the best but I did eventually get tired of walking everywhere. Upgrading system for weapons was pretty sick.

Get the Misery mod for COP. You will not regret it.

Im just waiting for a proper 75%-90% off steam sale. Then Metro LL is mine!

It was 75% off a week or 2 ago. You missed it 😉
Mossel
April 1, 2014 at 11:14
lol I saw that! My mouse pointer hovered above the add to cart button. But then I decided rather not, seeing that I’m poor as fuck these days. So now I’m waiting for te next one.

Awesome. Metro LL on console looks ass. Plus, I will never buy Ranger mode so this is welcome
Jim Lenoir (Banana Jim)

I’d buy it! Thank you Deep Silver!
By the way, completely off-topic, but has any of you followed the easter-egg hunt on the Battlefield 4 forums? Everyone is trying to unlock the Phantom Trainee assignment – and it involves going on a treasure hunt in the game, to find a password to unlock a new set of assignments (Phantom Trainee). The first one was Phantom Prospect, which was unlocked by the password: bumpinthenight. The current one is a head scratcher.

See who gets the farthest without glitches and crashes?

The crashes are intended, it’s to simulate a nuclear explosion. One does not respawn after a nuke…

Hey guys, after a lot of talking me and one of my friends decided that we are making an indie game. Please show your support! http://bringvictory.com/

If you do decide to go fully into making the game? Would there be a chance of giving it up or letting anyone down?

I hear Goat Simulator > Titanfall!
Jedi JJ
April 1, 2014 at 10:29
Firstly not available in SA. Which is a real bummer. And apparently rife with microgoat transactions such as different beards, horns and all kind of things that add no value to the game (it being under EA and all).
EDIT: I’m talking about a GOATSIM/TITANFALL combo here.
No Longer SIR Twakkus
