Looking forward to running through this one again. Really a great game.

Last time I played it was on a 1080p laptop with an RTX 2060. It looked good, but I'm excited to see this on a big 4K screen now that I've got a 3080-equipped desktop PC.

I’m still not sold on 4K gaming. Not worth the performance hit in my opinion

That's where DLSS 2.0 comes into play!

With that said, I think 1440p is more than fine even on 4K panels for the most part.

Definitely! I’m a big fan of this greatness

Cool, I own this. Played it originally with a 1080ti. Interested to see what it looks like on my 3070.

The original DLSS wasn't that good so that's nice.

It would be great if the older games could get this treatment, they're still some of the best looking games I've ever played.

Haven't watched it yet, but Digital Foundry put out a big video analyzing the visual changes.




edit: OK, around 10 minutes into the video now and this upgrade is insane. This has to be the best demonstration of ray traced lighting in a game yet.

Own it, but only played like three hours so far. Will jump in again when this update release!

My 3080 and the screenshot thread are ready, give me that eye candy!

New fan of the Metro series. Still need to get Exodus.

It got a bit of a tepid reception at launch I think and I didn't played it until a year later (no thanks to EGS and all that), but it really impressed. Easily my favorite of the trilogy.

Why no next-gen enhanced?

Definitely. I played them all and Last Light is still my favourite

Watching the video now. I can’t imagine the console version will look like this, and I so, so want it to, lol. Hopefully.

A lot of the time with ray-tracing, I struggle to tell the difference, but there’s definitely a step up here. I really hope we start seeing games lean into the RT as this one has.

Just watched the whole thing. Wow what an incredible upgrade. Like, really crazy.

That AMD performance though. Someone send some mental health experts to gaf. Ascend and Ilien are on suicide watch.

Looking forward to my second play through.

How did people find the two DLCs, any good? Got them both ready

Haven't played any of them. Will do this time

I'm all set!! Can't wait to start the game from the beginning and go through it all.

Yea, I never finished it. I got probably half way through. Since I completely forgot the story, I'll start all over again.

Metro Exodus didn't really click with me for some reason. It was ok, but not great. Not sure why, something felt ... off. Maybe the shooting, maybe a bit of floaty movement, maybe the open world didn't really feel well done (I particularly did not like the first main map). Love the prior two.
