But wait; before you go indiscriminately loading up your shopping cart (haha, just kidding), I should probably clarify: Everything the game is currently free on the Epic Store, as is Metro 2033 Redux. So if you're in the mood to expand that already insurmountable backlog still further, you know where to go. Everything, if it passed you by previously, is the acclaimed second game from David OReilly, the Irish artist and filmmaker responsible for strange, serene desktop experience Mountain (and, I just learned two minutes ago, the Adventure Time episode A Glitch is a Glitch). It's a somewhat unclassifiable experience, in which players are able to catalogue the universe - a goal achieved simply by inhabiting objects within Everything's procedurally generated world. And it's here that Everything gets its name, with players able to take on the form of a dazzling array of items, from caterpillars and rocks to French horns and fax machines, moving all the way down to an atom and all the way out to entire galaxies.

Then the silence gives way to a man shouting for help. He’s tied to a post and trying to fend off a ravenous wolf. A single crossbow bolt takes the feral creature out. The shirtless man pleads for my help to free him, cussing as he explains his predicament. I choose to cut him loose. I owe you my life, he says. I ll never forget this, I swear. Inconsequential though it may seem, I begin to ponder his words. Could this have implications? Maybe his captors will return to find he s escaped and attempt to track me down. It may have been better to leave him tied up. But perhaps he ll help me the next time our paths cross. It s this kind of small-scale player choice that runs through the heart of Metro Exodus.

Koch are the father-company of Deep Silver, who publish games like Saints Row, Metro, Dead Island, and Homefront: The Revolution. That means THQ Nordic now own alllll of those bad boys, among others. Due to all the combined plates this company now spins, they could now make a game where the hero of Mighty No. 9 fights jazzy paint-monster De Blob in a doomed bid for supremacy on Mars, aka, Red Faction 3. Although, they probably shouldn t do that. (more…) Steam summer sale: our giant recommendations listJun 23, 2017 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunThe Steam summer sale is in full blaze.

They’re like films without pictures, or games that are all cutscene. Old people and hipsters really like them, teenagers think they’re like totally lame, and quite frankly we should all read more of them. There are countless games inspired by books – most especially Tolkien, Lovecraft and early Dungeons & Dragon fiction – but surprisingly few games based directly on books. Even fewer good ones. Perhaps one of the reasons for that is that a game can, in theory, cleave closer to what a book does than a film can – with their length and their word counts, their dozens of characters and in some cases even their own in-game books, they can to some degree do the job of a novel. They don’t need to be based on books – and often they can do so much more, thanks to the great promise of non-linearity. Of course, the real reason for the dearth is that novels are so rarely the massive business a movie is these days. You might get a forlorn Hunger Games tie-in here and there, but suited people in gleaming office blocks just aren’t going to commission an adaptation of the latest Magnus Mills tale, more’s the pity. I suspect that, over time, we’ll see the non-corporate side of games development increasingly homage the written word, but for now, these ten games (and seven honourable mentions) are, as far as I’m concerned, the best, and most landmark, results of page-to-pixel adaptation to date. … Metro 2033 Redux video: max settings at 2560×1440 on LPCSep 8, 2014 - PC Gamer Written by Tom Marks We ve already shown you what Metro 2033 Redux looks like when put side-by-side with the original, but the game looks so darn pretty that we wanted to spend more time in post-apocalyptic Moscow. We fed it to that benevolent giant we call the Large Pixel Collider and ran it on max settings at 2560x1440 resolution, and what do you know a video came out!.

But it sounds like Metro developer 4A Games might just be aiming for something a little more Stalker-like in its next game. In a lengthy interview with Eurogamer, 4A Games Chief Technical Officer Oles Shishkovstov talked about "the performance differential between Xbox One and PlayStation 4," the difficulty of developing for multiple platforms, the strengths and weaknesses of different APIs and all that sort of thing. It's good stuff if you're into that sort of thing, but the really interesting bit, at least for me, came around the midway point when he was asked if he could talk about what the studio is currently working on. "For the game we are working on now, our designers have shifted to a more sand-box-style experience - less linear but still hugely story-driven," he said. "I will not go into details, but it requires some work from programmers as well." It's only a couple of sentences and nothing more is said about it, although to be fair, it's a Digital Foundry interview focused on developing for the new generation of consoles. But the possibility of an open-world Metro game is incredibly exciting. And it's also the sort of thing that 4A Games might actually do: It was founded in 2005 by former members of GSC Game World, the studio that created the Stalker franchise.Metro 2033 Redux comparison video: original vs. Redux at 2560 x 1440Aug 26, 2014 - PC Gamer Video by PC Gamer intern Tom Marks Last week we gave you our review of Metro 2033 Redux, but today you can judge the graphical differences firsthand. We decided to throw both the original game and the Redux version to our irresponsibly large computer, the Large Pixel Collider, to scrutinize 4A Games' remastered environments, lighting and character models. We cranked all the graphics to max, set the resolution to 2560 x 1440, and started killing monsters. The original is still a good looking game, but Redux has some impressive new lighting effects, and runs much, much better it stayed at a rock-solid 60 fps even during combat, which would drop Metro 2033 down to about 40 frames per second.
