"Metro 2033" to Have Nvidia 3D Vision Support

[G4h4o8s6T]

Those definitely look better than mine. Can you do me a favor and take screenshots from the beginning of the game? Mine are from the exact start of the game.

Im using a mod that starts the game at night(pitch black), so wont be the same as yours.

And the only mods Im using that affects graphic is a weather mod, which adds better sky textures, and FOV mod(which obviously increases FOV)

Heres a shot from my beginning

EEEWW did anybody watch the trailers? :S
massive texture flickering and the graphics look terrible...
no aa and no af? but even that doesnt explain those flickering textures... eew... :S

oh and the story sounds like a 10 year old kid came up with it...
this game will fail...

How dare you to watch real game play?!?!?!
We must get excited with PR BS sshots with uber details and poly count that the final game won't have.... don't you know that?

Here... go and see the PR sshots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/metro2033
Now, get excited and hyped on them.



Needless to say, I'm mocking the PR BS sshots (or pre-rendered trailers) that people usually get excited about.

[trinibwoy]

Haha you were? I couldn't tell....

[saaya]

The engine is just 8 years old. With some recent tweaks and features, of course. But still.
Metro seems to have damn amazing graphics btw, maybe it'll make a great benchmarking tool!

did you see those in-game videos and not just look at the screenshots? the screenshots look nice but the in-game video is... terrible... a nightmare...

well i dont get why they dont show some PR BS game trailers like most other studios... then id actually get hyped for a bit as the final game CAN look like that with a mod-pack

but screenshots only? pff...
sounds to me like the game engine cant even run aa and af properly and thats why its off in the trailers... and even if it would look awesome, the story sounds terrible... and considering that they have pretty detailled custom made textures in the game, they def have good photoshop skills and the screenshots might be doctored with alltogether...

and even the screenshots arent that great... did anybody here actually look at them in full HD res? there are a lot of really poor textures especially in the background, the faces dont look real at all... crysis looks way better than this...

Nah, in fact, I didn't. I knew there was something fishy about it!

try SoC Complete Mod 2009

Yep, this mod is veeery good, fixes everything original stalker failed and plus better gfx.

Is there any mod for Call of P ?

[Meizuman]

Looks like it will be good, same team as stalker, so I thing if you love stalker you wil love this, if you hate stalker...

This is done by A4Games, S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is from GSC Game World.

I dont get it why people mock stalker's graphics... I still think it's one of the best looking games (despite the grass popping up from nowhere even at max draw distance).
The thing I love in stalker is the shadows and lighting effects.

[trinibwoy]

The 4AGames folks were previously at GSC. Stalker's engine is technically impressive, especially the lighting, but the artwork and level design just don't suit some people's tastes.

'cuz they (as well as 4A) need to buy some art from Chinese companies, and you get how much you pay!

[trinibwoy]

Info on the engine, comparisons to STALKER and more vids. Again, extremely impressive lighting. And that's the console version.....

[saaya]

this made me lol

"For me personally, the PS3 GPU (they like to call it RSX for some reason) was the safe choice because I was involved in the early design stages of NV40 and it's like a homeland: RSX is a direct derivative of that architecture. Reading Sony's docs it was like, 'Ha! They don't understand where those cycles are lost! They coded sub-optimal code-path in GCM for that thing!' All of that kind of stuff..."

about the video... good lightning (except for the flickering shadows with the flashlight dynamic lightning) but terrible terrible textures... and the story sounds so lame i wonder if this game might be better off without any story whatsoever, kinda like serious sam

[BuBBle.D]

I totally dig this game. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans always liked the creepy underground levels in the series and will love this game. Cant wait.
By looking at the screenshots it looks like the X-ray engine but after googling some say its x-ray, some say its a different one. Can someone tell me which one it uses?


EDIT: Need glasses. Uses 4A engine as stated in the link a few posts above this.

[prava]

Stalker graphics kind of suck outside...but when you get to an underground level it's when you really see the game shining, specially the good texture quality (that can be enhanced using mods).

[spoof]

Guys, have someone of you read the book? It's amazing and the reason for waiting this game is the book, no S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or any other game.

Great article. A lot of good info.

this game is based on a book? 0_o
mutants unleashed on the world and humans are hiding in an underground base? hmmmm that has only been used a couple hundred times for various games and movies :P

[Zed_X]

That book Metro is really great, more better then STALKER is, great reading, only blind spammer without job can tell this, saaya (find the job, will be better for you and for us here too)

Majority of multi-platform game trailers are on the console version. Just a heads up before you say it can't run AA/AF.

The book is much better than the game appears to be. I am actually surprised they've made the game this way, I expected it to be completely different...

[trinibwoy]

How come people know how good/bad the game is without playing it?

Is it not the same with everything these days, we always make judgement on something before we have first hand experience.

I know someone close to me who is looking forward to this game, the graphics does look good, hopeful the gameplay will be match.

[Dainas]

The second I saw the screen shots they fell right back into that pigeonhole shooter devs long ago fell into. More like post apologetically shooter with an nvidia induced headache. I don't give two damns if it is good, it looks stupid and generic.

Metro 2033 is a good book, but "Roadside Picnic" by the Strugatsky brothers is much, much better (Stalker was partially based on it).

lol wut?
jealous of my working hours, are we?

marketing fail?

a preview or commercial is supposed to raise your interest by showing you the pretty side of a product. its supposed to convince you of the quality of a product without ever having used or touched it yourself. this one does the opposite for me, because its done poorly...

and nobody here said the game sucks, everybody said the preview sucks or the screenshots or videos suck, or the game appears to suck or seems to suck or probably will suck... i think i made my point
most people actually like the screenshots though... its just the videos that dont look that great...
