Metro Exodus

Oh god, I hope not. I just want more Swamp and Library.

>>379897505
So like STALKER?

Open-world Metro is the one place most people want it to go though

who here /about to read metro 2035/

Yep. That trailer screamed open world to me.

>>379897761
No it fucking isn't? Metro is great because of its level design. Metro isn't fucking STALKER.

>>379897505

That's fine

That gameplay trailer didn't seem to give off an open world vibe at all.

The only downside, if they keep the world as detailed as it looks, is the story and characters will take a hit

>>379897505
I really hate the scripted gameplay shit

... what is there to be open world about it to begin with? I mean, you're restricted to short stays above ground, while roaming the metro for the most part.

>>379898005

It's been done a billion times already.

>>379897505
whats with you retards

hopefully its basically stalker, since a lot of ex-devs work for metro devs now

im happy, i really liked last light

>>379897505
at least it's more metro.

Pretty excited. Multiple ammo types that perhaps aren't just regular boolets and milsup boolets is the most I took away from it. Well that and some of the enemies. Wonder when it launches. And I wonder if it'll have ps4pro support or if ms snakes it out of them. This is gonna be a fun week.

>>379897505

Fuck you nigger I've always wanted an open world Metro game. I know it's not STALKER 2 but I NEED IT.

>>379897763
Don't it retroactively ruins the other books in general and artyom as a character. It explains everything that was purposely left ambigious in the other books, which makes the whole setting boring as shit

>>379898190
Not on PS4 broski

>>379898230
Yeah, but notice how a lot of the gameplay shown was above ground. Fuck. They're gonna end the radiation and just let you roam around a big empty world instead of designing great shit like Swamp.

FUCK! I HOPE TO GOD IT'S NOT OPEN WORLD! SOMEONE ASK THEM THIS!

>>379897505
Closest thing we'd get to STALKER 2

I thought they were working on a Space game. That's what anons were saying over here.
Another Metro is ok, but if it's open world, then fuck that shit.

They had said before that they wanted to make it more open world, like the Stalker add-on for M:LL
I wouldn't be surprised if it's not open world, but has more open elements in that there are more paths to take than either one or two like in the first two games

>>379898745
>metro
>exclusive

tell that to us who played on PC

As much as I want STALKER 2, I don't see this going well. Hope it isn't another bland full of nothing open world piece of shit.

Anyone know if they have any of the devs that worked on SoC?

Hey nerds.

Should I read all the novels about Metro that takes place in different countries? They seem cool but I dunno if they're good or not.

I fucking hated that trailer.
So obviously scripted like crazy, not actual gameplay

>>379899210
That's what it should be. Have it work like that DLC, which is really, really good. If they go full open world, I'm done.
Basically, it should be "pseudo open world" like the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but not like Clear Sky or Call of Pripyat

A FUCKING METRO GAME, YESSSSSSS

Metro game is perfect for an open world setting.
Im 100% going to play it.

>>379897505
There is a Metro Open World game. Its called STALKER and was one of the most beloved games on /v/.
Stop being a cunt.

I played it and it was awesome (best DLC of Lat Light) and that wasn't at all open world, you dumbass. It was very well crafted but not open world.

>>379897505
did they say it was exclusive?

How does this tie in to the books? I'm only aware of 2033, I don't know if there was any sequels.
Are they just making shitty continuations?

>Windows 10 store

>>379899560
What is the difference? You can wander around wherever in SoC as well.
>>379899559
I know you're right, but I refuse to not be hyped.
>>379900052
I'm sure it will be cracked to run on 7

>>379900089

Yes. I prefer 2033 over Last Light.

>>379897505
Modern open worlds games are the death of level design in a series. I don't know how anyone could be expecting anything from it

I stopped playing Last Light when I got to the Librarians. Too fucking spooky.

>exclusive
Niggers they just revealed it. It's not an exclusive.

>>379900275
No but it was the closest thing in the games to it, and showed that open world gameplay could work and suit the narrative

stalker 2 when tho

>>379899337
Most of 4A were former STALKER devs that left prior to SoC's release.

>>379899194
That's what's next.
It was always planned that they were making one more Metro game for the moment before moving onto a space game, because they're tired of working on post-apoc type games for +10 years

>>379899337
4A is mostly made up of GSC Game World employees after they were fired/let go by Sergei after each STALKER game was done.
The guys who made the company were ex-GSC guys themselves

>>379900343
Two official sequels, 2034 and 2035, with plenty of spin off books written by other authors
2033 game and book are for the most part similar, but the game and books branch off into different stories after that

>>379900756
That's the important distinction. Open levels like the DLC are good. Open World itself like Clear Sky is complete shit. And I bet this is gonna be the later. They're gonna ruin Metro.

>>379900570
It might be a meme, but it can be done well. Very, very rarely.

>>379897505

>Metro Exodus is an epic, story-driven first person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror in one of the most immersive game worlds ever created. Explore the Russian wilderness across vast, non-linear levels and follow a thrilling story-line that spans an entire year through spring, summer and autumn to the depths of nuclear winter. Inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus continues Artyom’s story in the greatest Metro adventure yet

>>379901740
Not necessarily, it may mean only Windows 10 users can play it, that means folks on Windows 7 are SOL.

>>379902049
W10 is great, though. I feel no pity for any mustard who is still blindly against it

>>379900756

The point is that it isn't true open world. Its a very large map, with lots of nooks and crannies, but its not open world.

As soon as devs decide to do open world, the flow of a game is compromised. If they have a lot of those big maps where you can search and do stuff, I'd be happy, but fuck going true open worlds.

Will they ditch this idiotic "moral" system at last?
If I wanted a game that treats me as figurative Hitler every time I shoot someone, I'd go replay Dishonored.

Last Light had some great "open area" levels. They were pretty big, had good exploration, and were fun to traverse.

Metro 2033 also had these segments in small part.

If Exodus is in the same vein, well crafted single player levels mostly in the metro's, with good open area exploration segments/levels, I'll be happy.

I really don't want the game to be open world. Though, I'd eat my hat if the game is open world and it was good. If anyone could do it well, it'd be these guys.

I hope they dont have the shitty Artyom VA back. The original From 2033 was best.

>FUCK YOU, STALKERFAGGOTS
Eat shit, I like both games the way they are and I don't mine that M:E is going to be like this at all, but don't deny that an open world Metro game would be great, comprising both a metro underworld and a surface overworld, and make it difficult to the point where you have to carefully plan your routes otherwise you could easily get yourself killed. Being able to decide between going along metro tunnels, take service tunnels, maybe go into some sewers or risk the surface where you have to weave in and out of cover hoping that all the fucked up creatures on the surface don't find you. Being able to explore all the different metro stations and their quirks, etc.
If you didn't want to play an open world game where you can explore the metro at your leisure after reading the book, there's something wrong with you.

I get that you enjoy Metro for being a really well crafted linear experience, but an open world in game in the metro setting could be absolutely fantastic done well

Plenty of games have no reason to be open world, but Metro has the world building already in place to create a seriously interesting world to explore

>>379907718
Not him but I've play it plenty. Sure it's made of multiple smaller levels, but you can roam through them freely and go back to any place you have been before. There's no doubt that M:E will have a linear path in that once you've gotten through a level, there's no going back to it.

>>379908546
Exactly, in 2033 and Last Light we kept hearing about places on the surface and they'd thoroughly executed the tunnel-based setting well enough. It was definitely time to move to a new setting, and it looks like it'll be a mix of interior dungeon-ish stuff and overworld things.

Did anyone read 2035 yet? I actually enjoyed 2034 but the newest one didn't get a UK release this time so I haven't read it yet

Yes it was. Do you even know what open world games are? You could freeroam in any given envrionment. Metro LITERALLY is all corridors.

>Deus Ex series
>The fuck are you talking about? This isn't open world at all

Again, you seem to think an open world game has to be GTA style. It's open as fuck. In HR you can go to any part of the cities at any time after the prologue and quest at your leisure. The original has levels but they're still completely free roam and open ended. Plus you can travel between them freely.


You literally have NO IDEA what a open world is, just some autistic personal thoery

>>379897505
>new Metro
Hype as fuck, thought the series was over

>>379909585
Just because it's sectioned into levels doesn't mean it's not open world.
You can freely roam around a predefined world and go any place you want to at any time
It's like saying that Skyrim isn't open world because you can't actually climb that mountain

>>379910443

Really didn't look that scripted at all. Apart from perhaps rocks falling and nosalis combat. Most of it was just no hud, typical metro ironsights and shooting.

How heavily debatable. You know, it's rather fascinating how STALKER gets a free pass for Bethesda tier bugs and failure to deliver on promises with a smattering of Far Cry 2's annoyances disguised as "hardcore game mechanics" and painfully mediocre shootan.

At least CoP was playable from start to finish with none of the usual "patches/mods will fix it" bullshit.

It's got an English translation. I looked the other day and it was about £20 for a new copy on eBay.

For those of you that actually read 2035: does it mention anything about going on the surface like in the trailer? The trailer said that it was based on 2033/2035.

>All these fags who didn't read the books
Artyom basically said "Fuck you" to the Metro and its people and left with Anna to roam the world.

>>379910008

you only could find two and they most certainly were open world.

Maybe not by todays standards, but they were most definietly open worlds especially for the time they were made.

How are they not open world? You could freely explore any part of the map at your leisure at any time.

Does that sound linear to you?

>>379911315
>does it mention anything about going on the surface like in the trailer? The trailer said that it was based on 2033/2035
Basically, most of the surface isn't polluted, just the big cities. The book ends with Artyom leaving the metro.

you forget the part they have worlds (not just hubs) you can fully explore. Plus the dungeons themselves are non-linear.

It's got enough to be considered open world. It's certainly not linear.

I guess I'm less salty, then. At least it's got something to do with the books, although Last Light was really good even if it was its own unique story. I just really, really, really hope this doesn't become a generic open world post-apocalyptic piece of shit.

2033. Start at the beginning.

>>379912202
So what would you describe it as? A linear rpg?

the games open up big time. They may be level based but you can freely explore them before long, find side quests, hidden areas, secret loot and secret routes...

how is it not open world? Would you really describe the environments as linear? I'm starting to question whether you've played them. I'll admit HR is a little more linear but the 1st one certainly isn't.

>>379912636
Ignoring the handholding for hours to begin and stupid shit like "DUDE EPIC HOT FEMALE SNIPER HAHA" I hate how they tweaked everything that made the first game's combat so visceral and challenging.

>>379910952
That's not entirely true though, you can't get to the Bar until you do the agroprom quest, for example.

>>379912631
I didn't realize what the screen flashes meant until after I finished the game. I thought it was just Artyom going mad or something.

>>379912696
2033. IMO, original over redux if possible.

Ranger Hardcore is THE way to play the game, but for a first-timer missing some HUD elements and QTE prompts will probably be needlessly challenging. But you owe it to yourself to play the game on the hardest difficulty at some point, it's really great and my first playthrough of 2033 is a fond memory.

>>379897505
how does Redux compare to the original and why do some people hate it?

>>379912696
2033 and by god if at all possible NOT the redux. I don't think it's for sale on Steam anymore but you might be able to order a physical copy of the original instead of the bastardized version.

>>379911929
never said it was linear but it kind of is. you go from point to point area to area in the same order every time you play the game. the way the areas are set out for you is random and different each time but it is still a linear path you take to progress through the game.

>>379912696
2033 not redux, play on ranger hardcore
its the highest difficulty but not in a frustrating way, its really the best way to play the game
just makes ammo more scarce and enemies die very quickly, however, so do you

Why the fuck did they make the AI worse and all that? Got a source?

Are we not going to point out that the "gameplay" looked scripted and cutscene-y as fuck? Or is this just par for the course as far as E3 trailers are concerned?
I mean I can already predict how much of that will either be QTEs (nosalis? fight) or happen once and never again (the magazine pick up).

>>379914690
Yeah, that's just an E3 trailer, it doesn't really mean anything.

>>379898909

They won't get rid of the filters. Some areas are still going to be off limits unless you have a gas mask. They mentioned the air quality improving over time in Last Light as radiation and fallout begin to fade. Plus, you can see how Artyom had to wear a gas mark inside the tunnels. D6 also had you wear a gas mask until the air filters were turned on. Closed off areas like tunnels are still going to require gas masks because they are isolated, meaning fallout and radioactive material isn't going to be removed.

>>379913723
>it is still a linear path you take to progress through the game.

but there are several of those "linear paths" and they're set in an open environment and you don't have to go with one or the other. Therefore it's open. Not trying to say linearity doesn't exist in the game

>>379914194
This. That anon that is calling stuff like Baldur's Gate and Fallout 1/2 Open World needs to understand the difference between Hub-Based gameplay and Open World shit.

Yes you can, if the door guard dies the door opens automatically, you can also fuck with the physics by dropping a gun to force the door open

Just because a path is blocked doesn't mean a game isn't open world. That's like saying GTA isn't open world because you're blocked off from going to new areas right at the start.

>>379913486
They're essentially the same, there's no reason not to go with Redux since it's just a direct upgrade unlike 2033 where a lot ended up being changed, and arguably made worse

Anything with sandboxes are pure shit.

Im happy because more Metro. But I hope they make the AI better. Ranger difficulty in Last Light wasnt as hard as it should have been.

So any theories on the plot?
My personal ones
1. Rangers leave the Metro to colonize the in between parts of Russian that isn't European Russia or Siberia, thus the name exodus
2. Rangers leave the Metro in an attempt to find the Government Bunkers in Siberia( This is Canon too)
Also LL good ending is Canon

He came out of a metro tunnel though. I think, based on the map he looked at, that the forest is just one level.

I really liked the subterranean level in Last Light. Seeing the ancient Russian churches and listening to Artyom speculate as to the nature of the mutants was amazing. IIRC, he wondered if the mutants existed before the war, hiding beneath the earth, and were emerging because they knew humanity was near extinction.

>... what is there to be open world about it to begin with? I mean, you're restricted to short stays above ground, while roaming the metro for the most part.

All the trailer showed was above ground, under bright sun, not wearing a gas mask.

The story is obviously about resettling the surface, you're going to run around the open world building settlements and collecting resources.

look at the smoke in the first magazine from the dirty rounds
It comes out slow and hangs in the air for the while

the smoke in the second mag from military grade rounds comes out very fast and dissipates quickly as well, as well as making a sort of blastwave effect with every round

>>379919507
it's the smoke effects from the gunshots, not what the ammo does itself
Also the animations themselves are very different, in 2033 it looks very weighty and uncontrollable while in Redux Artyom has a near perfect grip on it. The latter could perhaps be more realistic, but the former arguably looks nicer

I doubt nukes would have been wasted on nuking the countryside
As far as we know, mostly major cities were hit by nukes, so obviously Moscow was nuked

>>379921215
I genuinely enjoy Metro 2033. I haven't been able to get through Metro 2034 yet because I lose interest a couple chapters in

So
>Alternative ammo types
>on the spot weapon mods
What else?

Shame, open-world Metro would have been cool. Oh well.

And the light? In the book it was stated that Stalkers can only go out at night because they'd go blind otherwise and that there is even worse shit running around at day, it was a death sentence.

Seek a cliff, and hurl thyself from it.

Loads of author filibustering and infantile "philosophical" musings, none of it relevant, mature or meaningful.
The original Metro 2033 was an enjoyable read because of its setting and a successful blend of post-apocalyptic mystery and survival horror. Glukhovsky, judging by the sequels, thought it got popular because of his all-important opinions on modern society instead.

>The whole game is just the Kshatriya DLC but 8-12 hours long
I would be perfectly okay with this

>>379919962
>>379921215
I've read the books in Russian and the language seemed extremely poor to me. They have the whole post-apocalyptic atmosphere going for them (much more than the games actually) but they are not good enough to stand on their literary merits alone.

So are Humans going to be the tough enemies like in 2033 or are monsters going to be the tough enemies like in Last Light

>>379902170
so again, just like stalker

Reminds me of STALKER

SO HYPE

>>379920986
Still a Metro game. It will look great.

>>379921853
Shhhhhhhh
Tinted Gas Mask visors?

>>379921996
There's nothing wrong with open-world if done right. Too many see Ubisoft when they hear the word open-world.

>>379918554
This shit looks nothing like Moscow region, it's clearly Siberia.
