“There's only one thing that can save a man from madness and that's uncertainty.”

<span class="bold">Metro 2033 Redux</span> the ultimate edition of one of the most compelling survival FPS games, is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com. Get it up to 60% off with the launch promo!

The bombs fell sometime in July 2013. A nuclear exchange in the Middle East turns global - the United States go quickly, but they do not go quietly. Neither does Russia. The remnants of humanity are saved by an unimposing marvel of modern engineering: the kilometers of underground tunnels that weave below what are now memories of a bustling Moscow. The year is 2033, your home is the Metro.

Metro 2033 is a video game adaptation of an award winning Russian novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky - the survival horror / FPS blend took gamers by surprise with its masterfully thick horror atmosphere and a compelling, fresh, uniquely Russian universe. Metro 2033 Redux is a remastered edition, but it's also far beyond just a graphics update - thanks to significant gameplay and design updates, this release is a game fresh enough even for veterans to truly enjoy. With new graphics, new map design, impressive technical improvements and plenty of new gameplay elements - this is without a doubt the definitive way to experience Metro 2033.

Pick up both <span class="bold">Metro 2033: Redux</span> and the sequel, <span class="bold">Metro: Last Light Redux</span> in a single DRM-free bundle to get 60% off both titles, or pick up today's release or sequel at 50% off individually. The launch discount will last for 5 days, until Monday, July 27 at 9:59 AM GMT.

EckoShy: Just curious, why are some people complaining that this is the Redux version? I thought this version only added a bunch of new features and made the graphics and performance better. Did it take something away or change something?

Primo_Victoria: I think it removed part of the gloomy atmosphere and gameplay hardcoreness.
Plus the original version worked with DirectX 9.0c, so many more computers could play that version instead.

Eh, went ahead and bought it anyway. Been meaning to get Transistor here anyway, might as well get it out of the way by buying this too.

The Redux edition of Metro 2033 is practically another game. Not only the graphics were changed. The NPC models are others too, they didn't add new models, they just remove the original NPC model and replaced them with the Last Light models (except for one of two characters)..

The Artyom voiceover is different (luckily, the spanish voiceovers are identical to the original and the new lines use the same actor)..

The way of using the melee weapon is different, I prefer the original knife (but I like the idea of not killing the enemies if I don't want to do it.) ... The Artyom clock is different (I prefer the original analogic one)

The Stealth was better in the original; a single noise and you are dead... I remember there was an stealth suit in the original Metro 2033..

Some maps were changed... The steam achievements are broken...

And they removed the Volt Driver from the first bandits lair and from the Andrew's room

And the API is different. The original Metro 2033 and the original Metro Last Light were 32bit DX9 compatible games... That means You can play those games on older machines with Win XP SP3 without any problem if You want it... In the Redux version, You can not play on older machines...
I know that 64 bit is the standard, but if You have a legacy machine looking at You with sad eyes, alone in the corner of your room, You can not play the Redux version there, but You can play the originals..

If Deepsilver release the original Metro2033 and th eoriginal Metro Last light as a Collector's Edition Upgrade pack DLC, I don't have problem to pay.. I will buy them immediatelly. :)

I do not see any problem, I own the older ones both on Xbox 360 and and STEAM. I own now the 2 REDUX ones both in PS4 and GOG.

RafaelLVX: No, that's exactly my point, they do not release games with known issues if it can be avoided, that post you refer to is exactly what I'm talking about, and this happened before many times. Sometimes it's about technical issues, sometimes testing, sometimes re-packaging installers... in this case it's about technical issues it seems.
In Metro: Last Light Redux's case it's about technical issues. As far as I know, there's been no official word yet about whether THIS game's Linux version is held up for the same reason, or some other one. ;)

RafaelLVX: Adamhm's post only shows the fact that GOG has set a bar and has not yet met its own the requisites for the Linux release, I don't see how it justifies Ganni's rant, unless by justify you mean he was right about GOG having the opinion that the game is not ready for Linux...
It doesn't justify the rant; as I said, it somewhat justifies his assumption about why GOG doesn't currently have the Mac and Linux versions available. (And, as has been said, the jury's still out on that.) But, to restate what I wrote in the reply you quoted, the bits about GOG acting unfairly by not releasing other versions, and his implying sympathy for pirates, were out of line.

Long story short: I'm agreeing with you, but I can see how they would assume that this game is in the same boat as Last Light with regards to the delay of the Linux port, though I still urge patience rather than wrath. =)

This is the most disappointing part of Redux: it doesn't work on older computers. A lot of people on GOG want the original version!

What about mods? If it was originally released in 2010, there should be some way to make it run ok.

The settings are very very limited and the really chokes the performance. Though if it's powerful enough to run it then it's great. However low end PC's are just shit out of luck. I still can't play it properly and I can max out most games.

Can older computers play Redux? It says it works with DirectX 10, but sometimes games that work with DX10 can also work with DX9.0c. But I don't know if that's the case for Redux.

I'm not sure to be honest. I only started playing it this year.

Why would someone use 32-bit OS in 2015?

I can understand people wishing to play this on older systems, but to be honest it's not worth it. The original engine is what I can only describe as a flimsy tower of duct tape. It was hideously unoptimized and gave most people grief in some way.

op2015: Why would someone use 32-bit OS in 2015?
XP was a pretty good OS.
And it supported alot of great software/programs.
Some of them wery expensive so thats probably one of the reasons why people have held off uppgrading.

Annyway, in this case (metro games) i must say i kinda dont understand why people want the older version since i also have heard all kinds off bad when it comes to bugs and other issues in the older versions.
