Metro 2033 Dx11 Maxed out screens

these look sick. Wondering how it will look/play on my M11x. From the looks of it, it looks GPU bound so let's hope! =D

Screens

 

Well your M11X cant do DX11

But my G73 can so I will share some screen shots for you ^^

Actually you live local to me so you can come over and see it 6004x1200 on my Desktop setup in DX11.

 

Hurrah! for us desktop Radeon 58xx users! We'll be able to give this game the beat down

 

Did u see the recommended requirements for this game?

You really need to have a powerful system to max it out on DX11. I don't actually know why did they list the Fermi GPU's on the Optimum specs, as it wasn't released yet. But one thing is sure that the game was sponsored by nVidia so expect it to run better on nV than ATI.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to this game, looks similar to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, just a little less freedom (more of aliner shooter they write on forums). But screen's and trailers look promising.

 

Wow, I'm going to need to build myself a monster desktop for this. Should I save up for a new laptop or build myself a new desktop?...

 

If its for gaming a desktop is always going to be cheaper and offer more power.

 

thats an easy one - build a desktop, will cost less and perform better!
you would only want a gaming laptop if you move around alot or dont have the space

 

hahah =P I know I can't hit up the DX11, but I tihnk I should* be able to run it granted it's optimized some. I figured I'd see some G73 owners come in to check this out. oh and BTW I'm gonna hold you up to that offer, I've seen pics of your insane setup...

 

well i have a new laptop on the way and would be happy if it looks good on there. Tbh its about as good as laptops get but this game isnt designed for laptops...

920QXM, twin 285's, 4gb Ram -=- Now crossing fingers

 

yess i think i should be able to run it on optimum, finally something that will stress my desktop besides crysis

 

Can't wait ton test my Radeon 5770 on that.
I'll probably have to settle for 16x MSAA rather than 4xSSAA in this game

 

well is that why your not buying ur G860 anymore?

 

Tried yesterday this game on my ipower. All settings maxed (very high), dx10 and physX in use, fps were something 20. With high settings and physx off it were more like 30fps and very playable. And resolution was 1440x900.

 

Yep. cost me over £500 less and will perform better (i hope)
the reason i didnt get a desktop before was because ihad uni
and moved around alot - now i dont so no need for a gaming laptop

 

Metro 2033 looks terrible and it runs horribly. It's a weird engine whatever it is running. The facial details are among worst I've seen from games in the last few years, if not the worst.
- Do not buy this.

 

have you bought this? if not how would you know?

 

There are video game reviews already.

 

what so becuase the reviews and videos of it dont like too great it means that its not a good game?
i dont base my purchase only on reviews or videos, some of the videos i have seen have been really good

 

To each their own, but I'm not willing to purchase that game based on the video review, the gameplay videos and high res screenshots and it's incredibly poor performance.

 

You sure have some high standards. I guess an 8/10 isn't good enough for you.
Also the game runs just fine. It looks fantastic even on Normal settings. There's no need to max it out. Isn't most of gaming gameplay anyways?

 

I don´t see all the hype for this game, the game looks good but not awesome. Graphically no much better than Stalker Clear Sky and it´s based off the same engine as clear sky but it´s much worse optimized considering you run mostly in corridors.

I have played through the whole game by the way.

 

Its running a heavily modified version of X-Ray from what I can tell, and it has some very tasty graphics so don't expect great optimisation, especially with all the Nvidia association.

If they fix the AI in patches, I'll consider picking it up. I think this and ARMA2 have finally crippled my rig, 'bout time!

 

If it is they will be sued... They say it's called 4A engine.

I just finished it today, not a bad game, great ending for sure. It's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for consoles, or it's like if Infinity Ward did S.T.A.L.K.E.R. XD

 

Crippled with no good justification other than horrific programming. Awesome.

Do you believe them? Wouldn't be the first time a company just steals from another without giving credit.

 

I don't get where the hate comes from. I like this game because of the adventure and the nice & detailed atmosphere. (which runs very nice @ high DX10 settings on my desktop: i5 750 + ATI 5850)
The shooting is enjoyable for me and even though the human AI sometimes acts strange it's still challenging enough to make the killings enjoyable.
This is one of the few times I agree with Gamespot's reviews.


Gamespot: 8/10
Metro 2033 is a well-paced shooter that will likely take you more than 10 hours to complete. It is punctuated by emotional and dramatic moments (a surprising encounter with a child, a few intense railcar sequences), though these aren't without their own idiosyncrasies (the immersion-busting "quickly tap E" prompt). The Metro and surface worlds are superbly detailed, and though how much of this detail you see depends on your system, rest assured that the game scales well and offers impressive visuals across different settings. The pervasive atmosphere fuels your whole experience, creating a grim, enthralling world that you feel compelled to explore. Metro 2033 is a very worthwhile game for anyone craving a uniquely rewarding journey into man's dark future.

 

Haters will always hate.

 

read somewhere that the dx10 version is almost the same as the dx11 version. is this true?

 

So does this game have an RPG-esque feel like S.T.A.L.K.E.R?

 

On a completely different note, Crysis 2 will have lower system requirements than Crysis.

 

Lovers wanna love,
And I don't want,
None of the above,
I want to p*** on you.

I'm so sorry, I just had too......

But yeah, back on topic, I've put Metro on hold until I get a handle on all my games that I already have going and want to beat. Too many to count.........WAY too many to count.

As for the game being based on STALKER's engine, I don't think so, since it would be based on an older build of the engine, from the original STALKER which I would think wouldn't be usable for what they want to do. I assume the version of X-Ray is different in the later STALKER games, which would involve tweaking and rebuilding for newer features with the later games. I don't think it would've been in the Metro team's best interest to try and put DX11 features in an older engine, it would be best to build from the ground up. I do think however, that experience with GSC gave Metro's staff a high amount of influence in regards to the sensibilities involved with creating a new engine and designing a game around that engine. The color palette is the same, obviously, the post apocalyptic ex-Soviet era-esque-ness is part of the appeal of both games and expected to look and feel similar.

 

HAHAHAH classic!

I got Metro 2033, it seems that the minimum requirements on the box are wrong... My system runs it fine at normal settings. They probably should've dumbed down the minimum requirements. Doesn't seem like a great marketing move...

 

I do wonder how many Eastern European PC users can't play Metro 2033. I have a feeling quite a few feel "put out to pasture".

 

got the game, played it, got 25+ FPS over 95% of the time on normal with my 8800M GTS. the graphics and atmosphere are amazing even on normal, sadly the rest of the game doesn't really hold up, there are some frustrating sequences that can take you a while to get through even on easy. level design's alright, just with tons of copy/paste in the tunnels, which is understanablee. for a fiction universe the enemies feels boring and unimaginative. story wise i feel it gets pretty deep and philosophical sometimes but also really cliche and fails at trying to be funny a lot of times. also after playing the game i have no idea about the grim world the game's presenting beside the mission i undertook, i think the devs assumed everyone who's gonna buy the game already read the book or something, it doesn't really give you any background information at all. also the voiceless master chielfish protagonist is definitely a mistake and a missed opportunity, at the beginning the game lets you know that he is eager to see the outside world and collects poster cards of different places, then it puts you into his character and erases him completely, people even makes fun of you because you never talk, i don't understand why some devs are so scared of giving the PC a little bit of personality. so overall i would say not really worth building a new rig over it.and it's 10 hour long single player only...

 

Would You mind post some screenshots at those settings (with Fraps showing fps).
I've got same laptop config and I'm considering buying this title.
Thanks.

 

I know for a fact that the lead programmer at GSC left and helped form this company or something along those lines, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are similar.

Wiki details the engine as "4A Engine (Modified X-Ray Engine)" but Wiki only has so much credibility.

 

It's not same engine.
Read what chief technical officer Oles Shishkovtsov has to say about A4:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-metro2033-article

 

Very stunning graphics there, finally a huge improvement over what dx 10 introduced. DX 11 is going to amaze indeed, if only developers use all its features.

I won't be even bothering to run this game on my lappy...I don't want to kill it.

 

from what i heard the gameplay isnt that great and gets very repetitive - not too sure about this one, might buy it but i might not

 

I think you should be able to run it on low settings. It's really not as demanding as the box says..

 

Yes a few former GSC staff went. Years ago after Shadow of Chernobyl came out I had heard they left because of problems with the publisher (THQ) they wanted the game finished and out the door. They also hobbled the AI cause they thought the American audience would find it to difficult. The joke on the GSC forums ia that when they left stole some things. XD Look at the guitar in SoC and Clear Sky and the one in Metro, then listen to the sounds in the underground of lab X18.

I don't think Wiki is a good source? Though it might be, I had heard rumors GSC was pursuing legal action, could be Metro is based on the X-Ray engine, but who knows with rumors.

 

Well the fun thing about their engine is that they use exactly the same variables as the X-ray engine, just open up the cfg file in notepad. I think they have licensed X-ray and then modified it.
