But beyond tone, there was also four years of cutting-edge tech between the two games. 2033 doesn&#8217;t look bad &#8211; in fact, it&#8217;s still a great looking game &#8211; but when compared to Last Light, you can see what the devs were able to do with their engine in those years.<\/p>\n<p>4A Games and publisher Deep Silver want to bring Metro 2033 up to the standards of Metro: Last Light. The <a href=\"http:\/\/enterthemetro.com\/us\/news\/game_information\/return_to_post_apocalyptic_moscow_us\/\">Metro Redux<\/a> package bundles the two games with all the DLC and features &#8220;re-mastered&#8221; versions of both games. Metro 2033 will be recreated in the more advanced Last Light engine, and the previously third-person cinematics are being remade in first-person to align with Last Light&#8217;s storytelling. Beyond the graphical, Redux will give 2033 improvements like day\/night cycles, stealth takedowns, and weapon customization. Last Light will get a couple of small additions like watch and inventory checking as well as a bit of a graphics pass.<\/p>\n<p>Technical changes aren&#8217;t the only thing Redux offers. Want to experience Last Light more like 2033? Play Last Light in the new &#8220;Survival&#8221; mode and you&#8217;ll have less resources and a slower pace. On the flipside, fans of Last Light can play 2033 in a style more to their liking by enabling &#8220;Spartan&#8221; mode. Everybody wins!<\/p>\n<p>The Metro Redux disc bundle will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for $49.99. The Redux version of both games will also be available separately for $24.99 each as digital downloads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light may share the same Russian literary setting, but each title has unique gameplay elements and distinctive flavor. 2033&#8217;s desperate scrabbly survival-horror contrasts with Last Light&#8217;s somber moments punctuated by bursts of violence.
